• Lord Irwin, Viceroy : We're required to stop it. And stop it we will. I don't care if we fill the jails, stop it.

• Principal Secretary : Has there been any violence?

  Senior Police Officer : Oh, in Peshawar the Deputy Police Commissioner lost his head and, uh, opened fire with a machine gun. But he's, uh, facing a disciplinary court. You can't expect things like that not to happen...

  Lord Irwin, Viceroy : I believe the question was intended to discover whether there was any violence on their side.

  Senior Police Officer : Er... uh... no, sir... no, no, I'm afraid not.
