RESOLUTION URGING THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA TO RECOGNISE
THE SOVEREICH DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF BANGLADESH
SHRI PRANAB KUMAR MUKHERJEE (West Bengal): I beg to move
"That this House urges upon the Government of India to recognize the sovereign Democratic Repulic of Bangladesh, to establish diplomatic relations with it and to make a declaration to that effect before the conclusion of the current sessin of Parliament."
Sir, the content of thsi Resolution is not new. In various forms, through short Duration Discussions, through Calling Attention Motions and in various we discussed the question of recognising the soveeign Democratic Republic of Bangladesh on many occasions in this House. If I remember corrctly, on the 31st of March this year we passed a Resolution unanimously which was moved by the prime Minister herself in which we said in the last part:
"This House records its profound convicton that the historic upsurge of the 75 millin people of East Bengal will triumph. The House wishes to assure them that their struggle and sacrifices will receive the wholehearted sympathy and support of the people of India."
The same resolution was passed by the Lok Sabha as well 31st march four months have elapswd and now it is high time for us to think what we have done actually for the recognition of Bangladesh, for fulfilling our commitment, for given effect to the pledges we solemnly made in the Solidarity Resolution. We sent our Diplomatic Missions to the various Countries and our Foreign Minister led the Delegations in some of the very important countries as it appears from the statement which laid on the Table on 25th; June, 1971. In the statement he had stated:
"Between 6th and 22nd June, 1971 I visited Moscow, Bonn, Paris, Ottawa, New York, Washington, D.C. and London in that order."
What was the actual outcome? he has supplied also along with the statement the joint communiqué issued by the various Foreign Ministers along with Mr. swaran and from the contents of the joint communiqués we find actually what we received for Bangladesh for the evacuees who are coming to our country in hundreds or thousands but in lakhs. In the statement the Minister has stated:
"I alsio clarified and it was by and large accepted that any military assistance to the military rulers of Pakistan at this juncture would havee the effect of encouraging and sustaining tham in thir antipeople activity and any economic assistance to tham Would be tantamount to condoning their deplorable action in East Bengla."
