that he has made because he has not asked anything from me. He has made several suggestions and in a very forceful manner.

 Shri A. G. Kulkarni (Maharashtra): Why don't you send him to America in the place of Mr. L.K. Jha?

 Shri Lokanath Misra (Orissa): He has asked for a Cabinet meeting.

 Sardar Swaran Singh: I would like to answer his suggestions. First, he says that our Ambassador Jha should be recalled. I am sorry I cannot oblige Mr. Bhupesh Gupta. I must say, and I repeat what I had said on an earlier occasion, that Mr. Jha has done good work there ..........

 Shri Bhupesh Gupta: I protest against it. What good work has he done producing a statement of this kind?

 The only quality of Mr. Jha is that he has accredited himself to the United States.

 Sardar Swaran Singh: Whatever may be the country to which an Ambassador is accredited, we cannot always judge his work from the attitude of the host country. If we go into this, then perhaps it will not be the proper way of approach to a matter of this nature. Secondly, he said that we should use a more strong language while describing the action of the U.S. in supplying arms to Pakistan.

 Shri Bhupesh Gupta. The question is: Does he consider it a violation of the UN Charter? Use any language it is helping genocide and creating of tension in this part of the world in violation of the UN Charter.

 Sardar Swaran Singh: In the last paragraph of the statement that I read I have said quite clearly that arms supply to Pakistan in the present context amounts to condo nation of genocide in Bangladesh and encouragement to the continuation of atrocities by the military rulers of Pakistan. If Mr. Bhupesh Gupta has patience and he looks up the dictionary, he will find that abetment means the same thing as encouragement to the continuation of the atrocities in that part of the world. So, he cannot compel me to use a word which he used. He should give me the latitude to select my word.

 Shri Bhupesh Gupta: No, it is very important, it is not the same thing. Abetment does mean more than encouragement. I may encourage many things, yet I may not come under the law, the law of mischief. Here the moment you say abetment, he is liable for action under the provisions of the UN Charter.

 Sardar Swaran Singh: Then the third question that the asked was why Mr. Keating went to Calcutta or to West Bengal..............

 Shri Chitta Basu (West Bengal): And why he should not be kicked.

 Sardar Swaran singh: We should be a little more decent than just kicking people. The question that he asked was why he went there to have a look at the refugee
