৬৯২ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড ultimatum, even to U Thant, That if something happens to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman according to the designs of President Yahya Khan, then it would be difficult for India to send back the refugees, because never probably would calm come back to Bangladesh and, therefore, It would be very difficult for the refugees to return to Bangladesh; so in such a case it would be difficult for India to remain a silent spectator to the trial and execution of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Has it been indicated to president Yahya khan and U Thant and, if so what is U Thant going to do in the matter? Has the Government of India received any intimation from U Thant? SHRI SURENDRA PAL SINGH: Sir, may I take the last question first? It is fair on the part of the hon. Member to say that India is standing completely silent and is a silent spectator to all this. It is not true; it is not borne out by facts. Ever since this matter come to our knowledge, we have done our very best to bring it to the notice of all the friendly countries all over the world; we have brought it to their notice throughout Missions abroad; our special delegations went abroad and they also took up the matter with all the Government, and the hon. Members already know, the Prime Minister herself has addressed two letters to the Heads of Governments. Similarly, our Foreign Minister has written to Secretary-General U Thant. SHRILOKANATH MISRA: What is the result? SHRISURENDRA PAL SINGH: I will come to the results, Sir We have been assured by all the friendly Governments that they would do their best to impress upon the Pakistan Government to desist from this act. Whatever views they may hold from the political point of view on the question of Bangladesh, on the question of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's release, looking at it purely from a humanitarian point of view they all expressed their concern and they all wanted that his life should be saved. Now, as to how they should do it and what they have done in this regard. it is very difficult for us to say we have been assured that they would use their influence, and we hope that they have done so. Whether that will have any effect on that Pakistani of Pakistan is very difficult for us to say: it all depends on the sensitivity of the Pakistani regime to the world Public opinion. But if the Past experience is any guide, we are not very hopeful that all these efforts will succeed, but we are hoping and praying that they will. SHRILOKANATH MISRA: Sir, I want to puta question. MR. CHAIRMAN: NO, NO: only one question. SHRILOKANATH MISRA: Arising out of this, Sir. MR. CHAIRMAN: NO. NO: I cannot change the practice. SHRI LOKANATH MISRA; Sir, you have allowed two questions on calling attention. MR. CHAIRMAN: No, Never; I cannot change the practice. SHRILOKANATH MISRA: Then I might have made a longer question. MR. CHAIRMAN: You might have done that. SHRI N. SRI RAMA REDDY (MYSORE): What is the meaning of all nations? All the members of the United Nations? Is it what you mean by all nations?
