DEPUTY CHAIRMAN IN THE CHAIR..] Shri S. G. Sardesai (Maharashtra): Mr. Deputy Chairman, the demand for the recognition of the Government of Bangladesh has been placed before this house as well as the other House. And government has often taken the position that they are not opposed to this demand in principle, they accept it in principle, but they would give recognition to the Government of Bangladesh at the appropriate time. But the fact remains that the insistence that this thing must be done immediately without any further remains that the insistence that this thing must be done immediately without any further delay has been growing not only in this house and the other house but all over the country. This is the thing about which government must think today. This insistence is growing within the ruling Party itself. It is not just the questing of opposition Parties. Why is this insistence growing? It is growing for certain patent fact which everybody can see, namely. That if this issue is delayed any longer, then it will bring greatest disaster in future not only for Bangladesh but for our own county.

One does not know where it is going to end. Only a few months ago Yahya Khan said that he wants no war with India and he is convinced that the Indian Prime Minister wants no war. This very Yahya Khan now threatens India with War. Even when the Foreign Minister was touring the United States, he was assured that no further supply of arms will be made to Pakistan by them. Now not only has that been accepted, but openly they say that they are going to continue supply of arms to Pakistan. The idea which was first floated by Prince Sadruddin is now taken up by the Secretary General of the United Nations and is now openly being pressed for by its meaning? Its meaning is very simple, namely, that the Western powers, the United States and China in its own fashion want to continue to arm Pakistanis military junta to enable it to butcher and massacre the people of Bangladesh and to drive millions and millions of them into India and to go no viding us all sorts of sermons and on the top of that they want to send these observers to India to gag us hand and foot so that we are not
