(*(* > বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড DR. BHAI MANAVIR: But what strong action is taken? SHRI BHUPESH GUPTA: You say a second front is being opened. What is the second front? Are we in World War II to talk of second front? SHRI N.G.GORAY (Maharashtra): Unless this front is quiet I cannot put my questions. Sir, this question gas become very important is the light of the news that we have got only today that the Foreign Minister is going to the various capitals, starting from Moscow, when he will go to London, Paris and Washington. I would like to know what is the mission that he has in his mind, because since the 25" March when Yahya Khan marched his army and started liquidating the Bangladesh freedom fighters, two things have happened. One is that no country in the world has shown active sympathy for Bangladesh. So far as words are concerned, they have flown freely, but so far as giving aid to Bangladesh is concerned no country has come forward. That is number one. The other thing is, when this influx of the refugees started and now they are well above the four million mark-no country has given any massive support no country has come forward with any massive aid Sir, we have been sending our emissaries outside. One of our Ministers is already abroad, and now the Foreign Minister himself is going out. I do not know what is the purpose of these visits. Is it to get more aid for the refugees or is it to step the carnage that Yahya Khan's army is perpetrating in Bangladesh? I would like to know what is the purpose for which the Foreign Minister is undertaking this tour during the Budget Session, which is a very important session, when we have known that repeated attempts have failed to convince people. Somebody pointed out that our publicity media are not working properly. I do not think so. Publicity has done its work. Foreign correspondents have been inside Bangladesh. They have made detailed reports. The whole thing is, whether it is China or Russia or England or An America or France, they have their own national interests to guard, and because it is their policy to safeguard their national interest, to put their national interest above everything else, thought they know that such a crime is being perpetrated on Bangladesh, nobody is ready to get involved in it. Bangladesh is just like Droupadi in the Kaurava Sabha. Everybody knows and is saying that what is happening is bad but nobody is prepared to stop it. I would like to know from the hon. Minister is it not now conclusively proved that in spite of your efforts, nations which want to safeguard their own national interests are not going to fall in line with your pleas? They are not going to come forward with any help and if you think that even for the refugees are going to get any massive aid from them, they are not going to do so, and the refugees are going to be our headache for a very long time, and it is only the Indians who will have to deal with the problem. Sir, reference was made to the letters written by the Prime Minister to the heads of other countries and the Foreign Minister said that it is not customary to publish these letters. I agree with him. But is it not a fact that when the relations between China and India got strained, all the letters between the Prime Minister of China and the Prime Minister of India were published in the form of a White Paper? I would suggest that the time has come... (Interruptions) No, no, long before the conflict, it took plate in 1962
