SHRIBHUPESH GUPTA: I entirly agree with him, sir,
SADAR SWARAN SINGH: Sir, donot think that he has asked any question. There is no question that he has asked except that he given certain views.
Sir, I would only like to say one or two things about the questions that he has specifically asked. He has mentioned that there may be an attack by Pakistan against us in the Jammu and Kashmir territory or any other territory. In this respect, the Defense Minisiter has already made clear statement that we are fully prepared to defend our territry and to defend our sovereignty and integrity. You cannot expect either the Defense has to be organized.
SHRIN.G.GORAY. He mentioned the name of one general.
SARDAR SWARAN SINGH: Whether it is one Genral or two Generals it is immaterial.
SHRDR SWARAN: No, he only wanted to know whether you are aware of it.
SARDAR SWARAN SINGH: We are aware of it and we are aware of it much more than he is aware of it.
SHRIN. G. GORAY: Naturally it should be so.
SARDAR SWARAN SINGH: Now, sir, he has raised several questions about the Resolution of Parliment, about the action taken by us,etc.i would humbly ask him to have a look at the Calling—Attention Notice. This relates to the war threat by President Yahya Khan and this does not at all arise out of the Calling – Attention Notice. So, let us obwerve some rules of relevance any way.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Mr. Nawal Kishore.
SHRI NAWAL. KISHORE: Sir before I put any question, I would like to make a small request to you and that too with the best of intentions, to kindly change, if possible, the timing of these calling—Attention Motion, particularly when they are in connection with the External Affairs Ministry. This is just a request to you. Now, so far as the Minister is concerned, may I ask.
SHRI SUNDAR SINGH BHANDRI: What is the implication of this? We would like to know, Sir.
MR.DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: He has only made a suggestion.
SHRI SUNDAR SINGH BHANDARI: When he says that this should not be at this time, particularly when he is relating to the External Affairs Ministry, what does he mean by it?
SHRI NAWAL. KISHORE (Uttar Pradesh): I made a request to you. That’s all. May I ask the hon Minister of EXTERNAL AFFAIRS to shed off his indifference to the fast changing events of the world and tell us frankly whether he and his Government would ever act on thieir own, because the story goes round that Indian Government never acts; it only reacts.
