Swamy's appeal to Opposition

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, NOV. 24 The Janata party president, Dr. Subramanian Swamy, has urged the Opposition parties in Parliament to seize on the suggestion of the Union Home Minister, Mr. L.K. Advani, (made at a meeting with Dr. Swamy) that he was inclined to delete the provision in the Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance (POTO) that requires journalists to disclose their source of information or face imprisonment.

In a statement released today, Dr. Swamy said the POTO was required to be adopted into law ``in India's national interest''.
