○ と。8 বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড Government and whether they would tell the American Government that we are not agreeable to this kind of action being taken by them and that we are free to take action in any way we like. That is the moot question which he has not agreed to reply. SARDAR SWARAN SINGH: So far as our right to take any action that we like is concerned we are not subject to any Government either the US Government or any other Government and I do not see why we suffer under this complex. Why should we suffer under this complex that we are to tell another country that we will take whatever action we like? Of course it is for us to decide as to what action we may like to tape or we may not like to take. About describing it as a hostile or an unfriendly act these expressions have certain connotations in international life and we have left and we have left the US authorities in no doubt about our disappointment on this attitude of theirs.

The Government of the US has timed the whole thing in such a way that the balloon was simply pricked and the whole thing has gone off. And we now find that while the U. S. A is giving us all sorts of assurances in practice it is betraying us. Therefore, sir, I would like to know whether this not which they have sent saying dissatisfied etc. is enough. SHRIARJUN ARORA (Uttar Pradesh): American is giving assurances to India and arm to Pakistan.... SHRI CHAIRMAN: No, please, I shall call you. SHRI N. G. GORAY: ....... Whether the Government will have the courage to tell them that these arms........ Mr. CHAIRMAN: Please, let us not waste the time of the House. SHRIARJUNARORA: It is the time of the House. SHRI N. G. GORAY: ........ Which are dispatched to Pakistan, it will be perfectly within our right to stop these arms from reaching Bangladesh? Will you intercept them on the
