First Sentence

"Let me first of all offer you and those comrades who have been made prisoners of war my heartiest congratulations on the magnificent battle already given to the enemy. Nothing like it ever happened or was expected to happen in this our long suffering and suppressed country. It truly was the "Open Rebellion" envisaged by our incomparable leader, Mahatma Gandhi."
