by them. What our Jawans take four years to learn this boy can learn within two days: They just handle sorts of equipment as if it is mere play. That is the spirit, nobody can kill that spirit.

STATEMENT BY MINISTRY REGARDING RELEASE OF AKALI DEMOSTRATORS

 THE MINSTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI K.C.PANT): Sir. I rise to respond the sentiments expressed the leader of the Akali Dal, Shri Brar. Government has reviewed the cases of Akalis arrested as a result of their agitation over the management of Delhi Gurudwaras. The agitation was unfortunate. Government had made it clear in unmistakable terms that the Delhi Gurudwaras should be managed by the Delhi Sikhas themselves and the present temporary arrangements would be replaced as soon as possible, The necessary legislation is being drafted with the intention of introducing it in the current session of Parliament. In the meanwhile the situation has changed. Pakistan was committed aggression against India. A state of emergency has been declared. At this juncture the country expects all political parties to devote themselves single mindedly to the defense of the country. Like all other parties the Akalis also have a right to play their due rule in this hour of crisis and it is Government's desire that they should not be denied this honor and privilege. It is in this spirit that Government have decided to release immediately all the Akalis arrested as a result of their agitation.

Only the other day I had expressed the desire and appealed to the Prime Minister that in view of the naked aggression perpetrated by Pakistan against our country there should be no further delay in according recognition to Bangladesh. I am happy to note that just after two days the Prime Minister, recognition to Bangladesh, Sir, this bold and historic decision will always continue to be a source of inspiration to the people of different countries for waging a relentless struggle for liberation of their countries. Our country has always fought against imperialism and colonial rule by foreign power and, therefore, as I have said earlier, this bold decision will be source of inspiration to be other countries who are still suffering under serfdom and slavery, and will enable them to liberate their respective countries from foreign rule.

 On this occasion I would also like to congratulate, and offer my warm felicitations to the people of Bangladesh for their heroic fight and struggle for liberating their own country. I would like to pay my humble homage to the martyrs of Bangladesh who have sacrificed their lives for liberating their country. Some hon. members have mentioned
