ԳՏՏ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড Dacca. What is the reason? He is not accepted to the Dacca regime. They have turned him out. Of course, you cannot get him back here. That is a different matter. He is interned there. Still you are continuing to accredit him to Dacca. Whereas the Deputy High Commissioner of Pakistan in West Bengal has already declared his allegiance to the Bangladesh. He no longer represents the Pakistan Government. But Mr. Masud who was sent from Islamabad as a new Deputy High Commissioner to replace Mr. Hussain Ali in Calcutta was treated as a V. I. P. whom nobody in Calcutta wanted. He was turned out in the hotel in which he was staying. The waiters refused to serve him. He ran about like an absconder from place to place in Calcutta. But he was given VIP treatment by this Government. Masood is treated here as a VIP. This is the position about the Deputy High Commissioner of Islamabad to West Bengal, whereas our Deputy High Commissioner in Dacca who has been turned out by them saying ‘We don't want you here', is located in Dacca. We have not said that we are recalling him. Are we going to put a new Deputy High Commissioner in his place? The Deputy High Commissioner of Pakistan in West Bengal has announced his non-allegiance to them and has declared his allegiance to Bangladesh. I do not know what kind of principle is being followed in all these matters. Is there any principle of reciprocity? Why does not Government tell that they are withdrawing our Deputy High Commissioner from Dacca? I do not know why the Border Security Force could not act in time. I do not know what their instructions are. This happened in Benapole and Petrapole and this has been published in all the papers. They said the Border Security Forces did not open fire although Pakistani troops were on the Railway line adjacent to customs out-post. Therefore, I want to know: What principle of reciprocity are you trying to follow? What is it that you are going to do in respect of Pakistani violation of these ground rules? Are you going to unilaterally adhere to these rules. SHRI RAM NIWAS MIRDHA: As regards ground rules, these are the rules regulating movement of security forces on both sides of the border. The ground rules Themselves provide the way of resolving disputes or in case conflicts arise and violations take place. Actually lot of violations of these ground rules has taken place. We have lodged protests. We have had meetings for resolving disputes. But, I may say, actually, things have gone much beyond the violation of ground rules. These ground rules are actually meant to provide only for normal matters incidents which take place in patrolling on the border, etc. But the situation, as it exists on the border now, is much more serious than can be tackled under the ground rules. SHRI INDRAJIT GUPTA: Are we still unilaterally adhering to those ground rules. He may say yes or no. If not why? SHRIRAM NIWAS MIRDHA: I have Said about that. . . . . . SHRI RAM NIWAS MIRDHA: There is no question of unilaterally violating or adhering to ground rules. Ground rules are a set of principles for dealing with a situation in normal times. Things have gone much beyond the point where the normal ground rules would apply. As regards their violations, we have given clear instructions to security forces to repel and meet them with as much force as the situation demands.
