is a very crucial issue. We cannot sit quite. Our Government should take serious note of it and do something in the matter.

 SHRI S. BANERJEE (Kanpur): Sir, not only the Martial law has been promulgated but orders have been issued to shoot people at sight. Even the press correspondents who wanted to know something about it have been asked by the army Colonels and Generals not to come out of the hotel and that they will be shot at if they come out. This reign of terror is going on and this conspiracy has been hatched up by all those who are agents of imperialist forces who never wanted Mujibur Rahman to trivet in East Pakistan. The victory of the common people in East Pakistan who defeated the communal forces and other reactionary forces is not to their liking.

 The suggestion is this. Democracy is being murdered in East Pakistan by fascists. Let us pledge our support and say that we shall defend the right of the people in other countries also. We also believe in human rights. I would request you and through you the Prime Minister to uphold the banner of democracy and to give more support of Mujibur Rahman. If Mujibur Rahman is dead, naturally, again Yahya Khan Regime, fascist regime, will come into being. We are opposed to this. Let the people of Pakistan know that India stands solidly behind Mujibur Rahman and that we condemn any action of the Yahya Khan.

 SHRI JYOTIRMOY BASU (Diamond Harbor): This is a matter involving the people who are the same flesh and blood. It was the conspiracy of the imperialists that the country was divided. On that pretext, we cannot shut our eyes and adopt an ostrich like policy. What is happening today in East Pakistan? Although we have repeatedly tried to get a statement from this Government about their attitude and policy in regard to that, we have failed in that. Neither the Chair has come forward to get this House this information to-day. After all that has been said on the radio and by different speakers in the House, will you be so good as to direct the Government immediately to make a statement forth with on the floor of the House giving fuller details through their won sources of information and also what they are going to do with regard to this merciless killing of people of Bangladesh?

 THE MINISTER OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS, SHIPPING-AND TRANSPORT (SHRI RAJ BAHADUR): The Government naturally share the feelings of anxiety expressed by members opposite at the happenings in the Bangladesh. We would collect all possible information from our own sources—

 SHRI JYOTIRMOY BASU: You have not so far?

 SHRI RAJ BAHADUR: We are collecting and we will collect.

 SHRI JOYOTIRMOY BASU: Let us have it.

 SHRI RAJ BAHADUR: And we shall be watchful and a statement would be made as and when needed.

 SHRI JYOTIRMOY BASU: right now. (Interruptions)..........

 SHRI RAJ BAHADUR: At the earliest opportunity.
