b>こ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড the Islamabad butcher would not have dared to declare a full scale war on India as he has done. The world knows the restraint that India has exercised. It knows that the Prime Minster had the capacity and strength to keep India on the leash for a considerable time in spite of all this mounting aggression. For the nation and indeed, for every Indian, this war will be a test of character. It may be a long war; the sacrifice and suffering, as in every war, will be great. But we are fortified in the knowledge that we are fighting an evil military directorship whose hands are dripping with innocent blood and above all, we are fortified in the knowledge that we are fighting not only for our country but for a supremely worthwhile war of life for democracy and speculating while will be demonstrated by every Indian, irrespective of caste, creed and community, standing shoulder to shoulder in order to defeat the blood drenched militarist madmen of Islamabad. SHRIP.K.DEO (Kalahandi): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I deem it a proud privilege to speak on this momentous occasion in India’s history. I support the Proclamation of Emergency and condemn the unprovoked, shameless, blatant, naked, Pakistani aggression on India in bombing and trafing on our civilian population. This will go down in the history of the world as the aggression of the worst king on a peace-loving people. The action taken by Pakistan brings into insignificance even the unprovoked Japanese attack on the Pearl Harbor. We mean all well to the people of Pakistan. It is the desperate military clique led by Yahya Khan which does not understand the democratic values and committed genocide on its own people that has waged war and India. If India has done anything, it is that India has saved the life and has given shelter on humanitarian and compassionate grounds to ten million destitute of Bangla Desh. On this occasion, the country will rise to the occasion and will stand as one man behind the Prime Minister. The Swatantra Party pledges its full support and solidarity to the Government and appeals to the people to temper their spirit as steel and to be prepared to give sweat and blood and be prepared for the supreme sacrifice for the preservation of freedom and national honor of the country. I appeal to the Government not to repeat the folly of 1949 or 1965 of a ceasefire but to be properly insulated against all sorts of pressure and bring this conflict to its logical conclusion will be nothing but victory. Sir, truth and righteousness is on our side. God is on the side of truth and righteousness. We have got the best of the fighting men and material which any country could be proud of. So, victory will be on sour side. SHRI SAMAR GUHA (Contai): The bedlamites military dictator of Pakistan has thrown challenge before our nation. It is a challenge to defend our national honour, to defend our national security, to defend all the cherished values for which our freedom is today.
