SHRI R. D. BHANDARE in the Chair Re: DEVELOPMENTS IN EAST BENGAL SHRI SAMARGUHA (Contai): Sir, I want to draw your attention to a very urgent matter. It is also a very important matter. Just now we have heard the radio news that civil war has started in Bangladesh. After landing 60,000 troops from West Pakistan the army has taken position in almost all the big cities and in all key positions. Yahya Khan declared the Martial Law. His government have promulgated curfew in Dacca and in all other big cities. They have taken possession of the Dacca Betar Kendra. They have issued orders to shot at sight all Bengali people there.

I would also request the Government to give facilities for the movement of the Bengalis who have assembled at the Karachi airport. Lastly, I have already given a Call Attention Notice on the subject and I have also given notice of a short duration discussion on it. The matter is very vital and urgent. I have said many times in this House that the key to the solution of Indo-Pak problems lies in the success of the Liberation Movement of Bangladesh. This is a very vital issue; this
