\:)(ჯჯა বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড I again say the charge of Command of the Commanders has yet to be proved. They are not like that in Vietnam or like that of Dayan of Israel who have proved in action. What I say is that the Government must put our armed forces to test. What are they fighting for? Why are they fighting? Sir, I say, to go on record.... (Interruptions). that all our actions, in fact, all our inactions, are guided by sub-conscious lurking fear of the Chinese involvement. I say this to go on record. I say this, Sir, that we have m in the last five years.... (Interruptions). Please listen to me now. We have, in last five years, developed 9 mountain divisions for protection of all the Himalayan in passes. Is it or it not a fact? If that is so, with merely 13 to 14 divisions covering the area near Tibet, are we to be frightened of these Chinese? If you are frightened sub-consciously about their guided missiles, that atomic war-head. I say, everyone missile that is released on India will lead to a conflagration, to an atomic war in the world and Chinese are not fools and they will not do it. therefore, nine divisions are there, and fourteen divisions it has and against a total of nine divisions of which 50% is nearly in East Pakistan, our policy should not be dictated by a position of fear or noninvolvement unless there is no leadership in the Government or there is no leadership in the armed forces to take on a job for upholding the prestige and dignity of the nation which has now suffered bitterly. This is my point. I would, therefore, want to know why it is that we do not recognize Bangladesh. It only means recognition of this country and legitimate supply of arms and ammunition. If you say that you are giving all that, I say that is not the way of doing it. Why should India, which had at one time had moral influence in the whole world and which has now declined, go in for clandestine methods? This was not taught by Gandhiji or Nehru. Why should you go in for clandestine methods, giving antiquated guns, teaching them guerilla business, and all that?... (Interruptions). Mr. Swaran Singh; this is known to everyone in the world. This is entirely childish, if I may say so (Interruptions). It is entirely childish. Mr. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Please conclude now. SHRI BIJU PATNAIK: Let me conclude, Sir. The world forces know, the world agencies know and all I have to say is.... (Interruptions).... that the House should know, because everybody in the world knows and the only secret is that is that it is kept from this House unfortunately. The only secret is that we have no courage. Then, Sir I should say that guerilla action bas never occupied territories, and guerilla action has never defeated the enemy. In that case, the North Vietnams, who are now fighting the most terrible guerilla warfare in South Vietnam, would have occupied it. It is the most acute, the most intensive, guerilla warfare that the world has ever known and they have not been able to occupy. SOME HON. MEMBERS: It is the other way about. SHRIBHUPESH GUPTA: Sir, I want to correct him. SHRIBIJU PATNAIK: Yes, Istand corrected. MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Please conclude now. SHRI BIJU PATNAIK: I would take only two minutes.
