877 ংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ত্রয়োদশ খন্ড homeland only when it become an independent nation". He went on to say. "that it was not conceivable that Pakistan would grant independence to Bangladesh, but that we would have to work towards a situation in which Pakistan would be left with no alternative". If there was any doubt about what the Foreign Minister of India meant this morning when he called for a political solution of the Pakistan crisis, this statement of his colleague of the Defense Ministry has supplied the answer. Let me say on behalf of my country that we have no intention of allowing anyone to put our independence and integrity into jeopardy. What my country has to face today is not merely the sort invective we heard this morning, but a well-planned military effort to break it asunder. The borders of East Pakistan with West Bengal Assam and are scenes of daily bombardment. On more than one occasion, the regular Indian troops, whose strength in the area was increased even before the crisis broke out and has been augmented to 200,000 since then; the so-called liberation forces have been trained and equipped and paid by the Indian Government.

He himself, speaking in the Indian parliament on 20th July, declared: "India is doing everything possible to support the Liberation Army", yet he came here this morning and stated that India does not interfere in the internal affairs of its neighbors and that its actions are inspired only by the most noble and lofty motives. He portrayed India as an innocent, helpless victim of Pakistan's internal difficulties. I dare say that this Hall of the United Nations has echoed frequently with such preaching’s. Allow me to say that the halo of saintliness with India is trying to hold over our head ill becomes its actual role in the present situation. It is not humanitarian concern for refugees which has sent Indian emissaries and propagandists all over the world in the last four months. The real motive is India's longstanding and unfulfilled wish to isolate, weaken and if possible, to put an end to Pakistan as a nation. Mr. K. Subramanyam of the Indian Institute of Defense did not mince matters. He said:
