STATEMENT BY MR. AGHA SHAHI REPRESENTATIVE OF PAKISTAN
December 6, 1971

 Only yesterday, I quoted, for the second time to the Security Council excerpts from an important paper, which has been given the most serious consideration by Government circles in India, about India's plan to bring about the dismemberment of Pakistan, and to use the Security Council as an instrument to legitimize the creation of the secessionist Bangladesh State. I am sure that what I quoted must be fresh in the minds of tile Members of the Council and I shall refrain from quoting 1t again.

 Only yesterday and the day before, the Representative of India stated that these were the views of theoreticians and academicians in India, but now it is finally clear that the plan has been followed with meticulous exactitude and the Government of India has announced recognition of Bangladesh.

 The Representative of India quoted in extenso from Mrs. Gandhi's statement of yesterday giving the reasons for this act of war against Pakistan. She said that it was a valiant struggle which had opened a new chapter in the history of the freedom movement. And let it be noted that this new chapter was inaugurated by subversion and aggression.

If a commission is given in a country to the leader of a political party, even a majority party, to form a Government and it is not executed for one reason or another, however right or wrong it may be, does another country embark on aggression and subversion to promote freedom in that country?

 Now, we are told that the Security Council must make an assessment of the realities, and the Representative of India talked of the success of the Mukti Bahini. What is tile reality The Mukti Bahini is a mere auxiliary of the 120,000 Indian armed forces which have unleashed armed attacks on Pakistan. It can play only a subsidiary role. It is under the occupation army of India that this Mukti Bahini will function. And it is to that Government set up by the occupying authority, that this Security Council is expected to extend some kind of acknowledgement if not recognition.

 We have been told about the high-sounding proclamations of democracy, secularism, freedoms, and what not. We know that words are not tantamount to actions. In how many
