어8어 বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড In this respect also I have no doubt and I have no hesitation in stating that the Indian working class has got a role to play and the working class will play that role. I have not the remotest doubt in the matter. But there has been the past experience the precisely when the nation is in danger, when we are in peril, it is not the working class that betrays. Unfortunately, we all know there are the profiteers, the speculators who are the people who hold the economy to ransom to take advantage of it. Now definitely I appeal to the Government to see that they have got to be very firm and, very strong in taking all necessary measures against anyone who exploits this national danger for the purpose of sectional or narrow interest. I would also like to go a step forward in this respect, and that is with regard to the question of domestic rights of the people. Sometimes a sort of blanket approach is made against whosoever, collects together or whoever holds a meeting because the nation is in danger. That must not be so. I want to make it perfectly clear that all the farces which seriously and sincerely stand for the defense of the country and who want to go out in the country to mobilize the people for the defense of our country should be allowed to do so because plenty of mass education is needed. It is a question of domestic rights. If there is the remotest fear that someone is causing harm to the unity of our people, to communal harmony and similar thing, these elements should be taken care of. But for the rest, the strengthening of democratic rights of the people and the people's active participation in support of this war is definitely going to be helpful, and I do hope and I do appeal to this Government and I want to ask them very strongly that the whole question of economy of keeping it going, the whole question of democratic rights should be approached in such a fashion that our defense is strengthened. Action should be taken against these who weaken our defense. We have to be clear about these two things. I do hope that this thing will be borne in mind. SHRI THILLAI VILLALAN (Tamil Nadu): Sir, we have already assured our whole-hearted support to this Government on behalf of our party. This is the time for deed, not for words. This is the time when unity is the necessity. We never go in for war. But when war is declared against us we would not leave it. If we turn our face in frown unitedly that will definitely burn the whole of Pakistan. If we breathe unitedly, that will make a cyclone and that cyclone will threw Pakistan into un-known seas. If we spit unitedly against Pakistan that will definitely cause a flood against Pakistan and there will be no Pakistan on the map of this world. Therefore the necessity for our country at this hour is only unity. Therefore, I appeal to all to unite and fight against Pakistan. With these few words I welcome this Proclamation of Emergency. SHRI K. CHANDRASEKHARAN: Mr. Chairman, Sir, this is not a time for panic, even though we are in a grave emergency. This is the fourth occasion after independence-three times from Pakistan and once from China-that the country's interests have been imperiled. And as before, I have no doubt that this country will certainly make its resolution determined and action decisive so that we tide ever the emergency in the shortest few months possible.
