broa বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড Not only India but every country has to consider its interests. I think I am expressing the sentiments of this august House and of our people when I raise my voice against the wanton destruction of peace. Good neighborliness and elementary principles of humanity by the insensate action of the military rule of Pakistan. They are threatening the peace and stability of the vast segment of humanity represented by India. We welcome Secretary General, U Thant public appeal. We are glad that a number of States have either responded or are in the process of doing so. But time is the essence of the matter. Also the question of giving relief to these millions of people is only pan of the problem. Relief cannot be perpetual of permanent; and we do not wish it to be so. Condition must be created to stop any further influx of refugees and to ensure their early return under credible guarantees for their future safety and wellbeing. I say with all sense of responsibility that unless this happens, there can be no lasting stability or peace on this sub-continent. We have pleaded with other Powers to recognize this. If the world does not take head. we shall be constrained to take all measures as may be necessary to ensure our own security and the preservation and development of the structure of our social and economic life. We are convinced that there can be no military solution to the problem of East Bengal. A political solution must be brought about by those who have the power to do so. World opinion is a great force. It can influence even the most powerful. The Great power have a special responsibility. If they exercise their power rightly and expeditiously then only we can look forward to durable peace on our sub-continent. But if they fail and I sincerely hope that they will not-then this suppression of human rights, the uprooting of people, and the continued homeless of vast numbers of human beings will threaten peace. This situation cannot be tackled in partisan spirit or in terms of party politics. The issue involved concerned every citizen. I hope that this Parliament, our country and our people will be ready to accept the necessary hardship so that can discharge our responsibilities to our own people as well as to the millions who have i-,ed from a reign of terror to take temporary refugee here. All this impose on us heavy obligation and the need for stern national discipline. We shall have to make sacrifices. Our factories and farms must produce more. Our railway and our entire transport and interplay of regional or sectional interests. Everything must be subordinated to sustain our economic, social and political fabric and to reinforce national solidarity. I appeal to every citizen, every man. Women and child to be imbued with the spirit of service and scarifies of which, this nation is capable. SHRI SAMARGUHA (Contai): All the opposition leaders met the Speaker in the morning when we pressed for the admission of our adjustment motion. The Speaker told us that he would allow some discussion on the issue of Bangladesh. Then we were informed that the Prime Minister would make a statement. I want to know whether there will be a discussion on the basis of the statement. NIR. DEPUTY SPEAKER: You know the rules. If you want discussion and the Speaker has agreed, you send a notice. SHRI S.M. BANERJEE (Kanpur). He said today or tomorrow. SHRIP.K. DEO (Kalahandi): The statement may be circulated.
