Mahatma Gandhi said his conversation was healthy and good and he was not seeing the Viceroy again in Simla. He would be seeing Mr. Emerson, the Home Secretary, again tomorrow and leaving Simla for Nainital positively on the 17th, Sunday.
Mahatma Gandhi refused the answer the question if he was more optimistic regarding his going to London and the general political situation, and added :
For any further information you must go to the Viceregal Lodge.
While walking towards Sir Fazl HussainΓÇÖs residence, he was asked whether he would favour Simla as the seat of the Swaraj Government. He replied:
We must go down five thousand storeys to the plains, for government should be among the people and for the people.
