information was concerned and the information supplied to him by our ambassadors was concerned. Now that it has happened, now that it is a matter of fact, I want to ask whether he would try to know whether Pakistan would be getting additional arms and ammunitions as a price for the task that it undertook in bringing both these countries together.
Then, No. 3, Sir, has our Foreign Minister ever attempted to find out what the total quantum of supply of that blessed agreement through which the United States of America was supposed to supply arms and ammunitions to Pakistan? What is the total quantum? Nobody seems to know anything about it.
Shri Bhupesh Gupta; I think it is about 2 billion dollars or something like that.
Shri lokanath misra: I cannot believe that.
Mr. Deputy Chairman: Mr. Misra, you continue.
Shri Lokanath Misra: I can believe what Mr. Swaran Singh says. I do not believe either what the “Pravada” says or the “New York Times” says.
Shri A.P. Chatterjee: You said that he is misleading the entire people.
Shri Lokanath Misra: Till he continues as the External Affairs Minister he is responsible to this House. He has misled the country. Let him mislead the House. Then he can face the consequences.
Shri A.P. Chatterjee: Does misleading lead to real leading?
Shri Lokanath Misra: Sir, Mr. Chatterjee has come to his rescue Now, Sir, you can find a charge in their attitude.
Shri A.P. Chatterjee: I have not come to the help of Mr. Swaran Singh. He is too big a man.
Shri Lokanath Misra: Mr. Chatterjee, you have your opportunity. and then you might put whatever you want to put. Let me have my say. Now, Sir, my third question is.
Sardar Swaran Singh: You have asked four or five questions and still you say; “My third question”.
Shri Lokanath Misra: Sir, I wanted to know the quantum. It should be told to us that this would be the final shipment and nothing beyond, the amount, the quantum that the “Padma” or any other ship carrying arms and ammunitions which would be a part of the agreement which was signed before the 24th April or whatever it is. Therefore, Sir, I think that our External Affairs Minister has that much of intelligence to find out either from the American Ambassador or our Ambassador there what the total quantum was under the agreement. Let us know that and let us also know how much ahs been supplied and how much is left out. Therefore once it is known, we shall be sure that once that is fulfilled, once the commitment is fulfilled, the USA cannot fall back on this particular plea of supplying a part of the agreement which is Still left out. Now, Sir .....
Mr. Deputy Chairman: I think that is enough.
