ფv*)ჯ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড gamble, is an act of desperation; but we know that when they are desperate they know on law, they know on human decency or any such thing. We should be prepared for facing all kinds of attack and treachery by them. The Pakistani military rulers have dared to attack our country because they have got the backing of US imperialism by way of arms and otherwise But for that backing they would not have perhaps plunged into this dangerous war, which does no good. This will immensely harm the cause which the people of Pakistan and we cherish. Our aim is quite clear. In this war that has been imposed upon us we have no other aim except to safeguard our territorial integrity and our territorial integrity shall be defended with all our unity with all our strength and with all our might. If the Pakistani rulers and their imperialist masters think that they can thereby deter us from rendering our help to the Bangladesh liberation struggle by fulfilling the pledge that this nation has given to the noble because they are profoundly mistaken. This act of aggression on the part of the Pakistani rulers will only strengthen our determination to render more help and more assistance for the triumph of the Bangla Desh liberation struggle. We make it absolutely clear. Nothing on earth can stop the triumph of the Bangle dash liberation struggle. In this connection I mention there should be no delay whatsoever in recognizing Bangla Desh taking our responsibility openly and fully All things are gone The Americans and others have been bluffing us. They have been maneuvering now they want to internationalize the bangle Dash issue and turn it into an issue between India and Pakistan and thereby get away with it. That shall not be allowed here on the Indian soil we must defend our soil, there in Bangla Desh we must render every assistance so that Bangla Desh liberation becomes a Living Desh shining reality of victory. That should be our aim. I need not say very much on this occasion. It is a matter of shame and sorrow that the Chinese Government has lined up behind Pakistan and other imperialists. But then there are the other Socialist countries. There is the Soviet Union our friend who is with us in all difficulties and troubles There are other Socialist countries who would undoubtedly appreciate and understand the situation we are facing the just war we are fighting the cause of human dignity we are upholding by shedding the blood of our awns and our people We expect appreciation by the international community and above all by all freedom and peace loving people. Finally Sir, before I sit down, I assure our parties support to the Government in all its defense efforts because this is not a partisan issue. This is a national issue and the whole nation must sit and united as never before in meeting the challenged and repulsing the threat. In this hour more than ever before communal peace and harmony are of paramount importance and we must uphold them again with all our moral strength with all our effort this is our motto this is our shield peace among the communities is our shield Unity is our shield. We must not allow anyone to take advantage of the situation to spread communal suspicion and communal distrust. We are all brothers in the common fight in the common struggles members of all religions members of all communities, members of various political and other associations here is solid unity. I think Government can count on this unity. Sir, I do hope that Government at the same time will not allow the reactionary and vested interests to take advantage of the situation. The
