 Q. We hear, Mr. Minister, it is being said that in this problem it is inheren that the Jammu and Kashmir case may be re-opened with the possibility that administrations may be re-awakened.

 A. Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. It is governed by the Constitution of India, and after the atrocities committed by the West Pakistani military regime in Bangladesh, when they suppressed democratic urges of the people of Bangladesh, any talk of self-determination, a concept about which Pakistan has always been stressing, becomes meaningless. At any rate, I do not see why the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent country should have any effect on Jammu and Kashmir.

 Q.- How do you assess the role of Britain and France in the Security-Council?

 A.- Britain and France have shown a greater understanding of the realities of the situation, and ultimately, in retrospect, their stand appears to be justified, because their main approach was that any resolution which has not got a chance of going through the Security Council is not likely to yield any useful result, and, in retrospect, this approach has turned out to be a realistic approach, and therefore we in India appreciate that they adopted an attitude where they did reality of the situation. The reality was the will of 75 million people of Bangladesh.

 Q.- Mr. Foreign Minister, to take you out of such a tense topic..............

 A.- It is not tense at all.

 Q.- How do you fell about the new Secretary-General as you will have to do a lot of business with him?

 A.- I have known Ambassador Waldheim for a long time, and I think that it is a very good choice, and he is likely to play a very useful role in serving the international community.
