○ br> বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড MR. CHAIRMAN: That is enough. SHRI BHUPESH GUPTO: The Indian Embassy in the United States of America has failed in its duty. We are spending lots of money this Embassy. The wives of the officials there indulge in black-marketing and all kinds of things. Mr. L.K. Jha is well known for his sympathy for the Americans. I known from some of the Cabinet Ministers in the past Government how Mr. L.K. Jha functioned the Prime Minister's Secretariat or in the Reserve Bank of India. Such a man is eminently misfit for the job. Replies made by a person, by a political figure who really shares the sentiments of the nation, who has got a different background. I should therefore, like to know what decision is the Government of India going to take. I fell a Parliamentary Commission of good type of people is needed to go into the functioning of the External Affairs Ministry. It has not yet come out of the cobwebs of American influence there. Whenever the question of America comes they use such a language. They should speak a proper language. Therefore, I demand a change in policy towards the Americans in conformity with the reality of the situation and with the situation which the Americans are carting. SARDAR SWARAN SINGH: Sir, it is very difficult to answer because no questions as such have been posed. He has expressed in a very strong manner his own views as to how we should deal with the situation and perhaps a counter-speech will not be welcome to the House. So, I will, at any rate refrain from doing so. I would, however, like to make very brief comments on some of the points that he raised. The first point that he raised was that he had noted my statement as reported in the press on my arrival at Palam. Now, I was shown this on arrival that a news items has come and this is what is reported in the New York Times. And I said quite clearly that I would have to check the correctness of this report is correct, then it is contrary to all assurance given to us. So I made the position absolutely clear even at that stage. I was hoping that Mr. Bhupesh Gupta refer to that operative part. Now something is shown to me just on the spot. I cannot proceed on the basis that all that is reported is correct. But even than I said that if this turns out to be correct, it is contrary to all assurances, I do not see what objection can be there to this attitude of ΙΙΙΙΙΙ". The next point that he has mentioned is the effect of the U.S. supply of arms on the situation in Pakistan, the effect that it has on Bangladesh. Now, I agree with him that any accrual of military strength to Pakistan, from whatever source it may be, is to-day directly opposed to the interests of the people of Bangladesh, and as such, this is the main reason why we have been pressing all the countries......... SHRIBHUPESH GUPTA: No, no, it is an international crime. SARDAR SWARAN SINGH: Please I have not finished. SHRI BHUPESH GUPTA: You use the words, "abetment of an international crime-genocide." MR. CHAIRMAN: Please sit down. You cannot prescribe the language to him. SARDAR SWARAN SINGH: As to what are the appropriate expressions for what is happening there, I myself have used this word "genocide" in places more than one, and
