○ brö বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড the agony of Bangladesh that everybody knows. What is the political purpose behind? What is the assessment of Government in this respect? That is also what I would like to know. Thirdly, the Prime Minister says that India would not participate in any conference on Bangladesh unless the atrocities there are stopped. May I take it that during his visit to the U.S. the U.S Government gave an assurance or whatever it is that they, including other powers, propose to have a conference on Bangladesh and with that assurance he came back very pleased-with the vague assurance that no shipments would be made-whereas no embargo had been declared; that is going on- ? And the Prime Minister thought that the cards were now on her table when she declared that she would not participate in any conference unless the atrocities were stopped there whereas India had been made a game of and has fallen a prey to the designs of the U.S. Government; and we have been brought to this pass with our economy as well as the economy of West Pakistan-I say West Pakistan because I recognize Bangladesh, whether the Government does it or not. I recognize the Government of Bangladesh headed by Tajuddin Ahmed, the Awami League leaderwhether the Government recognizes it or not is another thing, That being the position I would like to know whether he would clarify the position-what matters about this conference whether he has got the assurance and what exactly they have said.

So I would like to know whether the Government at all has view or is contemplating any such thing or other things like declaring it an....... MR. CHAIRMAN: That is all right, Mr. Ghosh. Now are repeating it. Please sit down. SARDAR SWARAN SINGH: The U.S. spokesmen have tried to make a distinction in regard to the actual shipment of that equipment for which licenses for export had been issued prior to their making a statement but we had all along been assured that no further actual physical supplies would be made. So this is the main reason why we have been stressing the importance of implementing the assurances and not tried to take shelter behind this distinction between the issue of an export license because what we are interested in is, these supplies should stop for with. I do not think that in this respect there has been any failure on the part of our Ambassador. The second questions is not easy for me to answer when he asks what is the political purpose of the U.S. Government in the matter of supplying arms to Pakistan. Whether political purpose they have, we have always said that to us any strengthening of Pakistan by military supplies from the U.S.
