Invitation to the Congress Working Committee (family account)

D Family account Family contested family account

From the family’s account — attributed testimony, not independently documented fact

According to his grandson’s published account, the Congress-led national movement sought to draw Samundri into its Working Committee in recognition of his capacity to fuse religious reform with national liberation. This is a family-derived claim and is not independently documented.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Family testimony — oral or privately transmitted account — permits.
