\ყჯა Gl বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড SHRI N.G. GOREY (Maharashtra): Sir, may I explain on behalf of my party that we had nothing to do with this and if you think think that we are responsible for this in any way, I just apologies. SHRIA. G. KULKARNI: Sir, I am very sorry........ MR. CHAIRMAN: There should be nothing on this. SHRIA. G. KULKARNI: may I know, Sir, from the Government whether it is a fact that after the approach has been made by the External Affairs Minister to the United Nations, a statement has been made by U Thant? It seems U Thant is under very great pressure to corroborate the facts and take proper action. Our Prime Minister has also written a Letter to the various Prime Ministers of different countries, May I know whether the contents of that letter could be made known to the House? If so, that should be done. SECONDLY, MR. Yahya Khan is absolutely a maniac. He is not in a position to understand human approach and diplomatic and international Language in this connection. Will he non. Minister or the state Minister say whether there is a statement made today in which Mr. Gromyko has stated that Russia will also use its own goodwill to see that the life of Mujibur Rahman is saved; and whether during the course of discussions between the Prime Minister and the External affairs Minister of our country and Mr. Gromyko there is any indication of the type of action which Mr. Gromyko has suggested in this connection?

SHRIA. G. KULKARNI: What are those necessary steps? SHRI SURENDRA PAL SINGH: Well, It is very difficult to explain this. He has assured us that he will do everything within his power to persuade the Pakistan Government to desist from this act and try to save the life of Mujibur Rahman. As regards the contents of Prime Ministers letter, I am not in a position to disclose the contents. As I have said earlier, the Prime Minister has written to all the heads of Governments all over the world to all friendly countries, drawing their attention to the fact that this matter is of very grave importance and its consequence will be really very dire and it is imperative and desire that they should act in this matter as early as possible and bring about the release of Shaikh Mujibur Rahman as early as possible. SHRI BHUPESH GUPTA (West Bengal): Sir, when I gave this calling attention notice it was not my intention to enter into a controversy with Government or with anybody. But here is an issue which involves our emotions. Many may not share our views with regard to the stand on Bangladesh but many at the same time are in favor of sharing our sentiments over this particular issue of saving the life of a great patriot and a great leader sheikh Mujibur Rahman. I am sorry for what has happened. Now, as I said, I do not want
