b>> বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড Lives there. We must also go there and do something. At least let us create some confidence among our soldiers that not only the whole nation is with them but, that we are also doing something. I hope, the prime Minister will do something about this problem. SHRI BIRENDER SINGHRAO (Mahendragarh): Sir, I am associating myself with the sentiments expressed in the house, on behalf of the Vishal Haryana Party on this occasion last evening I feel proud and important as an ex-soldier. And I am not a very old soldier either; today I feel even younger. I want to assure the prime Minister that millions of our ex-soldiers and ex-officers in this nation of soldiers are today behind her. They would like to be assigned the most difficult role to defend our country. I have no doubt that India would come out victorious because ours is a noble and a just case. I am sure that in this late twentieth century when those countries, which were so far professing to be champions of human rights, have failed humanity. India would emerge as the new champion of human rights and individual freedom in the world. Sir, I must speak a few words on your behalf since you are sitting in the Speaker's chair. MR. SPEAKER: You have already spoken as an ex-soldier on my behalf. SHRI BIRENDER SINGH RAO: Last night your district was bombarded. The people along our borders in Punjab and Rajasthan have proved to be as brave as the people of West Bengal and Assam phoned a few friends this morning at Amritsar and suggested that they might send their children over to Delhi so that we might be prepared at our borders to teach a very lasting and unforgettable lesson to Pakistan; they all refused. They said, Amritsar was not going to be vacated; they were going to stay there to the last minute. I congratulate you, Sir, that you represent that district, and the people on our borders in Punjab and Rajasthan who are so brave. DR. G. S. MELKOTE (Hyderabad): Sir, I rise to support the Proclamation of Emergency. May I say that the country has heard the clarion call of our leader? On this occasion the national defence workers have asked me to tell this house on their behalf that during the past two aggressions they had been working 24 hours round the clock but the management of the different industrial factories gave them one holiday in a fortnight. They complained and asked why this holiday was given. The management replied that it was not because of human failure; the machine had broken down but the man had not broken sown; therefore, a holiday was necessary. At this juncture we would like to assure the leader that in every possible manner we will out do what we did last time and help our Jawans at the front With these word I give support to the Proclamation of Emergency. SHRI SURENDRA MOHANTY (Kendrapare): Mr. speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Utkal congress and the United Independent Group which I have the honour to represent in this house. I would like to associate myself with the support given to the Proclamation of Emergency which has been moved by the Prime Minister and pledge our support to it
