Indian Daily Mail : Madras Paper's Plea 17 April 1950
From Our Correspondent:
Madras, April 16 - The Hindu commenting editorially regarding the rearrest of Sambasivam by the Malayan authorities after release as the result of Privy Council decision, hoped that the Indian Government Representative Mr. J.A Thivy's efforts to get him to repatriated to Indian would be succeed.
The Hindu added "It is gratifying to find that Mr. Thivy is continuing his good work in the case of Sambasivam" and recalled how Mr. Thivy's strenuous efforts had wo a last minute reprieve when the labour leader was about to be executed for allegedly offence against Emergency Regulations.
"Sambasivam has consistently maintained that he was only a trade union worker and not connected with the Communist terrorists. On top of that there was the fact that he had been in prison for the last two years and could not possibly have had any contacts with lawless elements. But Malayan authorities' object in re-arresting him is presumably to prevent the possibilities of his association with terrorist once he is free. We can see no warrant for the assumption. Anyhow if they think it would involve too great a risk to allow Sambasivam to go about freely in Malaya, they should have no objection to his repatriation which have been done in the case of certain other Indians.
