The Mandal feigned a printing dispute to censor Ambedkar’s address.

Evidence

I was then convinced that in getting the address printed in Lahore, the main object of the Mandal was not to save money but to get at the contents of the address. I gave him a copy. He did not feel very happy with some parts of it. He returned to Lahore. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 771
