ԳՏ8 বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড SHRIN. SRI RAMA REDDY (Mysore): Sir, we have heard the hon. Minister of External Affairs on Government of India's reaction to the speech made by China in the Third Committee of the U.N. This Committee was said to be a Committee where humanitarian matters were to be considered. The Committee was considering the problems o one core of people who have left their hearths and homes and migrated into India seeking India's protection. We have also declared that is on humanitarian grounds that we are giving succor and help to these refugees. While considering such a vast and massive human problem China makes up political questions and declares that it is an internal affair of Pakistan in which India ought not to have interfered. This is a very serious charge. I cannot take it lying low. Secondly China also says we are doing subversive activities and preventing the refugees from going back to their own territory. At what enormous cost, at what enormous sacrifice we have been doing this job of helping the refugees has not been taken into consideration at all by China and they say it is a subversive act. I think it is time that we took up this matter, not in the form of goody- goody letters. Once we were saying Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai and what happened? Aksai Chin was occupied and a attack on India was made. We know the behavior of China. It has been very treacherous indeed. I cannot hide my feelings, however much the Government of India is anxious to cultivate China. Probably we cannot cultivate China better than what the late respected Jawaharlal Nehru did, he did everything in his power to cultivate the friendship of China and the return was treachery. We asked for bread and we got stones. This is our experience. This is their very first speech soon after the entry of China into the UN. We did our best, but the result has already started. Is our Government going to be satisfied with merely writing goody good letters? Are they going to take up the matter seriously? Why should not a protest letter go? When the whole world recognizes it as a human problem and the whole world has come forward with aid to the unfortunate refugees numbering not less than one crore. China alone comes forward with such a statement. No even Tunisia which has introduced another resolution has said sol China comes forward with such a statement as this on the very first occasion of its entry into the UN. This is especially a warning. We knew the days of Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai. I thought that soon the days of Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai were going to be revived again. I thought normalization would take place and friendship would soon grow. There has been exchange of good letters between our Minister of External Affairs and his counterpart in China and also between the prime Minister and Mr. Chou Enlai. All this led us to believe that we are now treading a different path and it is quite possible to establish friendship with China, but soon after such a situation has come to pass. On the very first day China has said this. It is better that the Government of India should take serious note of the situation, the attitude of China, and send a strong protest saying that India is not engaged in subversive activities. India is engaged only in a humanitarian work. A core of people have left their hearths and homes on account of the goondaism and genocide by the military junta. Let us take it up very seriously. Very serious action must be taken by the Government of India. goody- goody thing will not do. MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: What is your question? SHRI N. SRI RAMA REDDY: Are the Government of India going to be satisfied with merely writing letters or are they going to send a serious protest to China?
