Shri Lokanath Misra: Sir, this is the last question, if you allow me. It is all right if you do not allow me. Mr. Bhupesh Gupta is a privileged person, but I am not.
Shri Bhupesh Gupta. He fought for the special privileges of the princes and calls me a privileged person.
Shri Lokanath Misra:I did it on the basis of conscience and you have done it against the consensus and the conscience of the House.
The last question I wanted to ask was whether the USSR was not generous enough to supply spares to Pakistan.

Mr. Chitta Basu, I don’t think, recently visited Moscow or was brinked by the USSR Ambassador here. Kindly do not say anything about which you do not know anything.

Mr. Deputy Chairman: Please ask your question. There should be no interruptions.
Shri Lokanath Misra: My last question is that the USSR is also guilty of supplying spares to Pakistan, and thus perpetrating the genocide.
The USA is also perpetrating it. Now, in this context may I ask M. Swaran Singh what he is going to do about recognition of Bangladesh? He says that it is neither here nor there. It is not contained in the Calling Attention Motion. So many things are not contained in the Calling Attention Motion. Mr. Swaran Singh's name is not in the calling Attention Motion. All the same, he is replying to it. I would therefore ask him: What is the latest attitude of the Government of India so far as the recognition of Bangladesh is concerned? Unless they recognize it, unless they take a categorical decision in the matter, these things are surely to continue.
Sardar Swaran Singh: Sir, about the first question, I would like the honorable Member to have a second look at my statement about it. He has referred to the Statement
