MR. SPEAKER: Mr. Gopalan.
Mr. Samar Guha, kindly sit down.
SHRI SAMAR GUHA: I am not sitting. My brethren across the borders are being butchered. I come from Dacca my heart is bleeding. I know in the streets of Dacca thousands of people are being killed. Do you want me to sit idle when thousands of my brethren are being butchered and killed?
MR. SPEAKER: Keep your balance please. SHRI SAMAR GUHA: Mothers, women and children are being killed and we are sitting idle.
MR. SPEAKER: If you go on like this, nothing will go on record, please sit down. The same thing can be said in a better way.
SHRI SAMAR GUHA: If you had only come from Dacca. Your reaction would be different.
SHRI S. M. BANERJEE (Kanpur): Every one of us comes from Dacca. You are not the only person.. (Interruptions).
MR. SPEAKER: What is this going on? It does not look nice for me to make a reference about you in others' presence. Mr. Gopalan.
SHRI A. K. GOPALAN (Palghat): Sir, it is true that a statement has been made two days back by the Prime Minister. But, the situation to-day is entirely different from what it was days before. There is a provisional Government set up there and also, as far as the fighting is concerned, it is very terrible. So the Government also might have something to say and the Prime Minister also said that day that after two days, every time when a situation arises. the Prime Minister would say something. So it is time now that we have to say something to show our solidarity with the mighty people of Bangladesh-East Pakistan. It is true that the situation today is different from that existed two days back. So, we request that the Prime Minister would make a statement which will show our solidarity with the fighting people of East Pakistan.
SHRI INDRAJIT GUPTA (Alipur) Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I make submission?
As Mr. Gopalan has rightly said, the events are moving with giant stride now. Since you declared in the House which was also approved by the House that the Look Saba will adjourn on the 2nd of April and as there are just four or five days to go, I would make two suggestions for your consideration and the consideration of the House.
First of all, I am in favor of the idea thrown up by my colleague, Shri Vajpayee, that before this House adjourn-at least I think there would be no harm in our adopting unanimously it is not a matter of controversy between this side or that side or any other side-a unanimously approved draft can be prepared in consultation with all sections of this House and only an agreed and unanimous draft resolution can be brought before this House and should, I think be adopted unanimously, giving correct expression to the sentiments which were expressed in this House two days ago.
