On Monday the Assembly at Simla rejected the Bill which

"providesfor the expulsion of Communists or other dangerous persons who are not British Indian subjects or subjects of Indian States. In the division there were 61 votes against 61, and the President gave his casting vote against the Bill. The Government may now either use their emergency powers or may ask the Assembly to pass the Bill as it was before the Select Committee amended it. It was remarkable that the Moslems Unanimously supported the Bill, and that the Hindus unanimously opposed it.
