br)○ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড Lastly, will Government issue a time bound ultimatum to the Government of Pakistan, as was done by the late Pandit Nehru in 1950 in a situation of much lesser danger, to stop killing of the Indian citizens in Bangladesh, stop the brutal uprooting of the people of Bangladesh and pushing them to India and also to stop the barbarous genocide of the people of Bangladesh, and, failing that, whether the Government of India will undertake direct action against the Pak army to defend Indian national security and save the lives, honor and properties of the Bangalis in Bangladesh; if not, what are the alternative means of the Government to defend Indian national security as also the lives and properties of the people of Bangladesh? SHRI K. C. PANT: There were two questions raised by the hon. Member, One was why the BSF is only there and why they have only light arms. The BSF is there because of the arrangements that were made and have persisted over a number of years, by which the BSF is on the border and the Army is a little behind. My hon. friend knows this arrangement. SHRI INDRAI IT GUPTA (Alipore) 1 that is to be unilaterally observed by us only? SHRIK. C. PANT: In this case they are armed with ammunition and mortars. So, the remarks that they were left here without adequate arms is not correct. and that is why in spite of the strength of the Pakistani forces, which according to my information as much more than the BSF, the BSF was able to halt them and repulse them electively and send them back. I would request him not to question me too closely and draw his conclusions from the result. Secondly he asked whether we would be prepared to use the Army in case our security needs it. Naturally, depending on the nature of the situation we face on the border, by the Pakistan Army. SHRI SAMARGUHA: I wanted to know about the ground rules, why our border forces are observing unilaterally the ground rules when they are being persistently violated by the Pakistan Army. MR. SPEAKER: You take him to the Control Room sometime. SHRI SAMAR GUHA: That is a very important question because a ten mile gap has been maintained between our security forces and their security forces, and they are persistently violating the ground rules. I want to know why no steps have been taken by our Government. That is an important question and it should be replied. MR. SPEAKER: That was asked yesterday also. SHRI INDRAJIT GUPTA: The question was asked yesterday also, but he avoided answering it. SHRI K. C. PANT: If my hon, friend gives some thought to the matter. He will realize that his question is better upon. শ্ৰী অটল বিহারী বাজপেয়ীঃ সংরক্ষিত লোকসভার কার্যবিবরণী জারিকৃত কপি অস্পষ্ট। সেটি পড়া সম্ভব হয়নি বলে এখানে তার অনুবাদ সন্নিবেশ করা গেল না।
