어8》 বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড mobilization because it is a total war. This war is not to be fought only by the brave Jawans, by the Defense Forces on the border, but this war is to be fought by the man behind the plough, also by the man in the mill, and also by people of all walks of life. This is a total war; and it needs total mobilization. It has to be borne in mind that this war is not directed against the people of Pakistan, because it is known to the world outside and it should be repeated again and again that we have been forced to take part in this war in defense of our ideals.

Sir, I conclude by once again appealing to the Government to recognize the People's Democratic Republic of Bangladesh. SHRI B.

But in view of the aggression that has been unleashed by Pakistan, I am constrained to express my views. On behalf of my party-the Republication Party of India-I express our solidarity with the Government and the people of this country. Sir, many spokesmen of different political parties have expressed their views on this solemn occasion. I would like to associate myself with the views that have been expressed by the political leaders of this great nation. Some of the Members have expressed the view that we should take advantage of this opportunity and should try teach a good lesson to Pakistan. May I remind this House that in 1965 when Pakistan committed aggression against our country, we had taught
