PM FLOUTING PLEDGE ON BANGLADESH: Vajpayee

(From Our Own Correspondent)

 BHOPAL, JULY 11,— The Jana Sangh President Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee today alleged that the Prime Minister was flouting the pledge given in parliament for an effective action with regard to the Bangladesh problem.

 Speaking to newsmen, he ruled out the possibility of war with Pakistan merely on the ground of recognition to Bangladesh by India.

 “Under pressure of super powers Mrs. Gandhi is not recognizing Bangladesh as an independent nation,” he said.

 The long-drawn guerilla struggle between the Mukti Fouj and the West Pakistan Army would deteriorate the situation in the eastern part of the country comprising West Bengal, Assam, Nagaland and Bihar. Arms and ammunition were being smuggled to neighboring India States by Naxalites and others.

 He urged the prime Minister to immediate convene a meeting of the National Integration Committee and wanted her “not to sidetrack the burning issue of Bangladesh under the bogey of Communalism.”

 Agencies add: Recognition of Bangladesh should no longer be delayed otherswise the history to Tibet might be repeated here. After recognition all sort of aid including military aid could be made available to them, Mr. Vajpayee added.

 Mr. Vajpayee alleged that a sum of Rs. 42 lakhs had been withdrawn through fraudulent means from the branch of Nationalised bank in Ahmedabad sometimes before the recent mid term poll.

 Talking to newsmen, Mr. Vajpyaee said that according ti his original in formation, Rs. 80 lakhs had been withdrawn but the Union Finance Minister Mr. Y. B. Chavan in a letter to him yesterday, had said that the amount involved was Rs. 42 lakhs.

 Mr. Chavan had also stated in his letter that some persons, including some employees, had been taken into custody and a part of the amount had been recovered since, Mr. Vajpayee said.

 Mr. Vajpayee, however, declined to name the bank and said the case was similar to the one that occurred at the State Bank of India in Delhi.

 He wanted a high power commission to inquire into the two cases.
