SHRI MAHAVIR TYAGI (Uttar Pradesh): Do not speak in tone of Yahya Khan.
SHRI BHUPESH GUPTA: I think you speak in the tone of chenghis Khan. There is visit of Mr. Nixon. Now, in this connection one thing I do not understand. Why should sardar swaran singh say that he welcome the style of Chinese diplomacy? What is the style in it? He welcomes the style, but we would like to have some substance put in. The style, if it at all as Machiaveilism. There is no other style in it all. This kind of style or diplomacy is harmful to the cause of world peace, harmful to the relaxation of international tension and certainly in our context extremely harmful to our national interest also.
Naturally, Sir, nothing is to be welcome. I believe some smart Ics officer ICS officer sitting in the secretariat has coined this phrase, “Style of diplomacy is to be welcomed". This is the sylhrt of the ICS. Sardar swaran singh is a wiser and more mature man. He should not take such things from the secretaries and other people. There is no style in Chinese diplomacy.It is absolutely bed style. As a Communist I feel ashamed that a country with a socialist leadership, which belongs to Communism, should have entered into this kind of gun boat diplomacy with President Nixon whose hands are dripping with the blood of the Vietnam people and who is supplying arms to west Pakistani troops. Therefore I think....
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: You ask your question please.
SHRI BHUPESH GUPTA: The style part is over. I do not blame sardar swaran singh for it very much because I thought that he was trying to use some very smart phrase. He did so-and you also do so and it is wide of the mark.
Now the question arises. My friend has pointed out here. It is a very significant statment that if you try to take any part of territory of East Bangal or East Pakistan, we shall declare general war against you. This is an advance preparation for what in international law is called 'creations of casus bell'. when the liberation force enter Bangladesh, taking territory ultimately reaching Dacca, even before that, the West Pakistani troops and Islamabad will say that India is taking the territory. Therefore the declaration has to be implmented, a general war against India. That is the motive behind it .It is the preparation.
Now sir, I think here also we should take into account this threat also from his preparing the ground for an attack against our country. We need not be upset by it. I entirely agree with him. We are prepared for it if they do so. They are also trying to restrain by this kind of statement India help to the liberation forces. They want to blackmail India a position of retreat instead of going forward in helping the liberationforces, sir, Bangladesh Bangladesh shall be liberated by the freedom fighters of Bangladesh with the abundant support and good will of the entire people of our country.
1.P.M
I have no doubt about it. We are not for war against Pakistan. We are not for armed intervention against Pakistan. But we are committed as a nation, as a people, as a kith and
