৬৬১ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড 2. The Speaker has certified that this Bill is a Money Bill within the meaning of article 110 of the Constitution of India.” Sir, I lay the Bill on the Table. SHRI BRAHMANANDA PANDA (Orissa). Mr. Vice-Chairman, I would rather say that it is unfortunate that we have got this Resolution to discuss before the House. Not only in this House or in the other House but almost all the people living in India are agreed that Bangladesh should be recognized by the Government of India. Now the question is whether it should be immediately done, here and now, as Mr. Chagla has said or, as the Mover of the Resolution says, whether it should be done before the end of this session or whether it should be done at an appropriate time, as the Government says. So there is no quarrel so far as asking for the recognition of Bangladesh either from this side or that side. Mr. Chagla and other —not only they but even a school — child of the 5th or 6th standard —know the story of Bangladesh –its inception as East Bengal and the gradual development into Bangladesh is a story of misery, horror, of brutality and of fire. So I am not going to cover those things which are already covered and described in detail by my previous speakers. Sir, the question is the recognition has to be accorded by Government.

You cannot keep all your book opens because that is a game to be played with Governments with your own enlightened national interests in view. There are certain people in this country who are saying that immediate recognition should be given to Bangladesh. Sir, I am for recognition because I suffer most when I see that the freedom fighters are suffering. Mr. chagla has said that tears come to his eyes, I would in his position wipe out my tears and with a cool and collected mind view the whole situation and come to a decision. So far as the Government is concerned. Government has always to deal in realities. There can be no question of hypothesis in a Government taking a particular action. In that view I would definitely leave it to the judgment othe Government to do it at the appropriate time. SHRI RAJNAUAIN: Same thing? SHRIBRAHMANANDA PANDA: I will justify my case. Not that now –that I am speaking from the Treasury Benches I am supporting the Government. Even if I were a supporter of Rajnarain I would have submitted the same thing because this is not a question of parties; this is a national question. Now, Sir, they say that Government should give immediate recognition and also help them with arms supplies and other things that
