Գo(t বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড MR. CHAIRMAN: Mr. Gorey. SHRIJOACHIM ALVA: Sir, I want only one minute. MR. CHAIRMAN: No. No. SHRIN. G. GOREY-I fully associate myself with what has been said here by my friend Shri Bhupesh Gupta, Mr. Basu and so many other hon, friends. Sir, here is a case where we find that a Government that was rejected by the people is sending to the gallows a man who was crowned by the people. Sir, if at all Mujibur Rahman is put to death, it will not be his death because he will live in history, but it will be the death of Pakistan. Therefore Sir, I am really feeling very sad in my heart that such a great man, whose sacrifice and whose stature cannot be adequately described by all of us with all the words that we can express, is nearing the tragic end; but it may be one of the most glorious. I still hope that his life would be saved and here, Sir I would like to subscribe to what Mr. Niren Gosh has said that let this Parliament, both the Houses as we did on the occasion of Bangladesh express their solidarity, their sense of sorrow and indignation at what is happening in Islamabad I have no doubt, Sir, that there will not be any dissenting voice in this House or that House if the Government comes forward with a Resolution. That is my first suggestion. The Prime Minister will be the fittest person to do it. Let her rest assured that all of us unanimously will support her. The other thing that I wanted to know from the Government is whether they could not insist on an Emergency Session of the Security Council, because Sir, the Security Council ought to be informed that this is something that is likely to engulf the whole of this sub-continent in a turmoil which will lead to endless suffering and bloodshed. This is not something that concerns Mujibur Rahman, the individual but it concerns Mujibur Rahman as the representative and the sole representative of 75 million people and, therefore, Sir I would say that let the Prime Minister insist or even other friends like Soviet Russia insists on an Emergency Session of the Security Council. SHRI AKBAR ALI KHAN: Not only the people of Bangladesh but majority of the Pakistan people want it. SHRIN. G. GOREY: Yes. The third suggestion that I would like to make, and I would like to know from the Prime Minister whether she agrees to it, is whether she would not be able to write to U Thant to fly to Islamabad and stop this execution, if at all it is going to take place. This is something for which he should take the trouble to come all the way from the U.N. to Islamabad. If you remember his predecessor, Dag Hammarskjold, lost his life when he was trying to save the situation in Congo. It is something like that it is much worse. Therefore, Sir, is would like to give these suggestions and I would like to know from the Government whether: the Government would accept the same. THE PRME MINISTER (SHRIMATI INDIRA GANDHI): Sir, this is one of the occasions when the entire House has one feeling and one voice. I share the agony which honorable Members have expressed and I appreciate the attitude of solidarity which some honorable Members of the Opposition have expressed. We are in a very difficult
