Mr. Keating not to go out of Delhi. You can ask him to go back home, but certainly you should not send him to West Bengal to talk to the refugees as if they are being of service to us. Never have I seen such a weak-kneed policy. American is preparing West Pakistani troops for war against India. We are being told that anything may develop. And the people who are supplying arms to West Pakistan are being sent there to our border in order to pretend as if they are our friends. I say, Sir, this policy has got to change. I lodge my strong protest against the manner in which the Government is handling matters with regard to the United States of America. I demand that a Cabinet meeting should be held on this subject. The national sentiment should be taken into account and proper preparation should be made politically and diplomatically to meet the challenge the United States has flung against us. We are being driven to the position of 1965. Pakistan is being egged on to start war against our country. We do not want war. We do not want armed actions by India or military action of this type. But certainly we want all help to be given to the Bangladesh freedom fighters. And recognition must be given to Bangladesh. These two things should be done.
Mr. Deputy Chairman: That will be enough.
Shri Bhupesh Gupta: I am finishing. I shall say more later. There is no suggestion of any concrete action. What prevents them from recognizing Bangladesh and giving massive assistance to the freedom fighters. I should to know. These points should be clarified by the hon. Minister.
Shri niren ghosh: Sir, the Government takes their services, but never listens to their advice.
Sardar Swaran Singh: We also know the contribution of the party to which the hon. Member belongs, the Marxist Communist Party.
Sir, in his characteristic and eloquent manner, Mr. Bhupesh Gupta has unburdened himself of everything that was on his chest during this period when the Rajya Sabha was in recess. In one speech, he has compressed all his ideas, whether they relate to the present Calling Attention Notice or otherwise. And perhaps he has drawn very heavily upon the brief which he has prepared for participating in the general discussion and has made a full-fledged speech.
Shri Bhupesh Gupta: On a point of personal explanation, Sir, I left Calcutta last midnight and this morning I saw the Calling Attention Notice. This is an extempore speech.
Sardar Swaran Singh: You do not require a written speech. It is in your mind all the time.
Shri Niren Ghosh: I can testify to what he said just now because I came in the same plane.
Sardar Swaran Singh: But you did not come from the same place in Calcutta.
Sir, on way of dealing with his speech would be to make a counter-speech I have to resist that temptation. I will, therefore, try to answer specifically some of the suggestions
