Mrs. Gandhi Tells Me of Her Frightening Responsibilities - Herbert W Armstrong - July 1971

Herbert W Armstrong

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - ONE OF THE most horrifying calamities ever to visit masses of humans has just fallen on the shoulders of a woman as one of numerous problems to solve. The whole world was shocked as news headlines told of the mounting mass deaths caused by the cholera epidemic hitting victims from East Pakistan fleeing into India. Last December in my personal meeting with the Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi told me of the crushing burden of the problems that are her responsibility. One of her most serious problems was that of the Pakistan refugees, then at the rate of about 1,500 per day, streaming across the border into India - destitute, helpless, for her overburdened government to feed, clothe and house. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
