৭২৫ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড SARDAR SWARAN SINGH: There is no need for sending a protest note. I have expressed our view point quite clearly. In the UN forum each country is entitled to press its view point. We will press our view point there is no question of sending protest notes on statements that are made in the UN. SHRIN. SRI RAMA REDDY. It is a forerunner of the events that are going to follow later on. We are in a serious struggle. We have to take note of every word uttered by China. SARDAR SWARAN SINGH: Yes, Sir, we have taken note of every word uttered by China and also we have taken serious note of every word uttered by my hon. friend. SHRI BHUPESH GUPTA: Let China have good relation with America. We are not opposed to that. But it should not be based on anti-Sovietism. Bangladesh is a major issue. It is very important that one cannot oppose Bangladesh struggle and support Yahya Khan and yet play an important role in world politics. This major issue is the test for ones sincerity. I saw in the border areas Chinese automatic rifles seized from the Razakars in Bangladesh by Mukti Bahini. Mao slid that power comes from the barrel of the gun. It now appears that barrel of the gun delivers the power for Yahya Khan to help him retain his power. Even in theory it is not proved in Bangladesh. If government wants to normalize relations it is good. There is nothing wrong so long as it is based on sound principles. As he suggested. I do not think that we should get provoked. I am in agreement with Sardar Swaran Singh when he said that we should not forget that Yahya Khan is trying to exploit this thing for his design. It is also to be noted that Bhuttos visit to China did not deliver goods as expected and journalists in the world have come out and said that Bhutto did not get anything, not even a proper type of assurance. I would not like to attach much importance to it. But I think that China internally is facing some crisis. We hear about Lin Piao and other internal power conflicts. All these things should be taken into consideration before formulating your policy. My friend was asking government to be provocative without being affected. by and large I support the position the government has taken in regard to this matter and I hope sobriety and wisdom will be maintained and government will not yield to provocation as suggested by my friend. I am a little amazed. My friend wanted friendship with China when Indo Soviet treaty came. Why Soviet Union and why not China? That was the attitude. Today they are saying something else. I do not know what they mean. I consider Sardar Swaran Singh to be a soder man and he has to be given support by the Parliament in a very critical and taxing situation. We should not take3 political advantage out of it. We are passing through a crisis and we should keep that in mind. Interests of the people of Bangladesh and national interests should be the prime consideration in our mind while giving nuances to the foreign policy and working out the details of operations in the world today. SHRI THILLAI VILLALAN: Sir, I have got only one question to put for clarification. The sharp speech made by the Chinese Representative in the Third Committee of the UN is a deliberate attempt of demolishing the image of our country which we projected for years. My question for clarification is this: what is the impact of this speech on the world
