Գ ՏՏ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড MR. CHAIRMAN: Ask one question. SHRI LOKANATH MISRA: Sir this is for clarification. There is now a proposal of upgrading the diplomatic relations between China and India to the ambassadorial level after we have attained in sufficient amount of normalcy. Sir, in view of this hostile attitude shown by the Communist Chinese Government and their attitude to suppress the Bangladesh movement in spite of our getting serious trouble out of it because of the refugee problem, because of our economy being shattered on account of the expenditure we are incurring on them and all that, and in view of Communist China's direct attempt at suppressing the Bangladesh issue. SHRI DWIJENDRALAL SEN GUPTA (West Bengal): The Bangladesh freedom movement. SHRILOKANATH MISRA: Yes the Bangladesh movement. The Bangladesh movement was the culmination of the free and fair franchise in Bangladesh and it is the majority obtained by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman that is being suppressed and for which the Bangladesh movement started. Therefore, I expected that the reaction of the Government of India should have been more categorical and should have been the attitude of a country fighting for the freedom of a people when some other country is standing in the way. MR. CHAIRMAN: All right. This is a very good question. SHRILOKANATH MISRA: This is not the only question, Sir. In Addition to this, Sir, I am told that the Communist Chinese Government are bringing pressure on the Government of India probably to stop aid or at least to bring down the amount of aid given to the Tibetan refugees and to their Dalai Lama. I am told........... MR. CHAIRMAN: What is your question? SHRILOKANATH MISRA: This a question arising out of that. MR. CHAIRMAN: No, no, what is your question? SHRILOKANATH MISRA: I would like to know whether this is not correct (Interruptions). I would appeal to the Treasury Benches. Let them not be impatient. I am dealing with their leaders, and the tails are at the fag end. Now, Sir, I would like to know whether this aid is going to be diminished as a result of the pressure from Communist China and whether, in its extra zealousness and extra politeness of Government of India thought it fit to offend another country which is taking Rs. eight crores worth of wagons a year and is supplying foreign exchange to India, that is Taiwan, and asked its diplomatic missions abroad to stopeven giving travel visas to the Taiwanese tourist who are coming here to see probably the Tajmahal, to stop the tourist visas of those Taiwanese citizens. They were not officials. They were not anything else they were comi&ng as tourist. Why the Government in its extra zealousness asked its own diplomatic missions probably to stop those people from coming in even though the Government of India is dealing with Taiwan and getting Rs. eight crores worth of foreign exchange in the public Sector?
