588 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড Pakistan. It is an unbearable burden for India to look after five or six million refugees. The exchange of fire between Indian and Pakistani frontier guards and reprisals on both sides are a serious warning that what was originally an internal political problem could easily grow into a dangerous international conflict. The attempts made by the U.N. Secretary General, U Thant, to coordinate international relief have been most valuable and will help alleviate the plight of the refugees in the camps at least in the immediate future. However, all relief schemes are aimed at overcoming the consequences and not the causes of the suffering and tension. Rude Pravo, the daily of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia writes today that the situation on the Indian-Pakistani borders is indeed "extremely gloomy and intolerable from a human point of view, while at the same time being dangerous with regard to foreign political affairs ..." It emphasizes that the only solution would be the immediate creation of conditions for a safe return home of the refugees. The urgency of the matter was stressed last week in a communiqué issued during the unofficial visit of the Indian Foreign Minster Mr. Swaran Singh in Moscow and also by the Soviet Prime Mister Mr. Alexei Kosygin who said Soviet Government believes that the Pakistani authorities must take immediate steps to solve this problem: We should remember in this connection that the Soviet leader once before five years ago played an important part in setting the Indian-Pakistani conflict and that his name is connected with the success of the well-known Tashkent Agreement. All the more reason for his warning to be headed by the Pakistani authorities once more today.
