V(to বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড Sir, this is what we should do. Finally I will say about the ereaction of the world. The resolution says that we should recognize Bangladesh before the end of the session. I say: 'Recognise it now' this minute. It is late, it is very late'. It will be a belated nation but even now we can do something. At least we can tell the world that we are taking the initiative in this matter. About the reaction of the world. I have never been more disillusioned, more disappointed, more disgusted than to see the way the world conscience has reacted to what is happening in Bangladesh. What has happened to the world conscience? It is muted, it is silent or it is dead. What has happened to non-alignment? What has happened to Africa and what happened to the Arab World-Sir, I have stood here as Forign Minister day in and day out and I were attacked for the Government's policy on UAR. I justified it because I said we must support Nasser who stood for secularism against Muslim fanaticism and I think I was right then, but today I am sorry to say that the UAR has beome as communal as fanatical as any other part of Arb World. Sir, I do not want to tax your patience. May I conclude in one sentence? The Government must face the consequences of doing the right thing. If something is in the national interst, it dose not matter what will happen. If Pakistan goes to war, we can take on Pakistan. We have taken her on before an we will take on again and let the Foreign Miniser remember that Pakistan has been and will always be our again and let the Foreign Minister remember that Pakistan has been nd will always be our enemy. China I am not afraid of China will make some noise as she usually does but I am not afraid of attack from China. What the Government needs today is courage, a sense of national interest and I want to assure the Foreign Minister that if he were to take a referendum in India today, 90% will ask fopr the recognition of Bangldesh. SHRI BIPINPAL DAS (Assam). The Developments i Bangladesh which we have discussed several times in this House have to be recognized not as an internal affair of Pakistan. It has become an international question and therefore we have to examine this question not only on the basis the issues involved in the struggle of the people of Bangladesh but also in the context of the international implications. [Mr. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN in the Chair] It is absolutely wrong for anybody to believe that Pakistan was created to serve the cause of Islam or the interests of the Muslims. What has happened in Bangladesh in the last four months has proved beyond any shadow of doubt that the life, honour and property of even the Muslims-millions of them have become absolutely insecure in the hands of a Muslim Government, in a country claimed to be governed under Islamic laws. The extent of mass killing and mass murder committed by the Muslim army on the Muslim population in Bangladesh has thrown into pale insignificance the extent of suffering caused to the Arabs by the Jews in West Asia over a period of 20 years of war. Pakistan sometimes-why some times, very oftenaccuses India of ill-treating the Muslims. It is now for the whole to see which country, whether it is Pakistan or India which guarantees greater security to the life, property and honor of the Muslims. The happenings in Bangladesh have not only exposed the myth of the ocratic State but has also exploded the so-called two nation theory itself. The fact is that Pakistan was never created for the good of the Muslims. It was creation of Anglo-American conspiracy backed by the capitalist-landlord bureaucratic
