br〉こ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড বাংলাদেশকে স্বীকৃতিদান প্রসংগে বিরোধী ভারতের লোকসভার ১৮ জুন,১৯৭১ সদস্যদের প্রস্তাব বিতর্ক কার্যবিবরণী 16.59 hrs. RESOLUTION RE: RECOGNITION TO BANGLADESH SHRI SAMARGUHA (Contai): I beg to move: "This House resolves that in view of our national commitment to the sacred principles of freedom, democracy and socialism and for bringing an end to the savage genocide of the people of Bangladesh by the Pakistani Army and efficaciously dealing with the vast problems of millions of the uprooted refugees and for eventual ushering in a new era of peace, progress and prosperity in the sub-continent, the Government of India should give immediate recognition to the Government of the people's Republic of Bangladesh and offer all assistance necessary for early consolidation of their national freedom." 17.00 hrs. I consider myself fortunate for getting this opportunity to move this momentous resolution in this House today. It is a coincidence that a similar resolution is now being moved in the British Parliament by the leader of the British Labor Party and is supported by 122 other Members. In the United States Senate also another similar resolution is being moved by Senator Kennedy, the youngest brother of late President Kennedy, to give recognition to Bangladesh. It is to be remembered that the revolution that is taking place in Bangladesh is not an accident of history but the logical end process of the internal contradictions that were inherent in the very entity of Pakistan. In 1933 when a young student of Cambridge, Rahmatullah, who was inspired by the conservative elements, first profounded the idea of Pakistan and when that idea was brought to the notice of Mr. Zafarullah Khan who was a British Official at that time, he immediately rejected that idea and said that the whole idea a political chimera.” This political chimera came into existence and as such internal contradictions started from the day of the origin of Pakistan on 14th August, 1947 at dead of night. I was then in Dacca. I left Dacca in 1951 and came to Calcutta. I hope you will allow me a little digression. I wrote twenty articles in a Calcutta weekly called Juguvani where my whole thesis was that independent East Bengal was bound to emerge and that could be the solution not only to the problem of minorities but also to the Indo-Pakistan problems. I was ridiculed by many friends for such fantastic idea at that time. But then I continued writing one book, another book and many books on East Bengal issues. In 1964 after the great killings in Dacca many people tried to interpret it as communal events. I met Shastriji then. I was not a Member of Parliament then. He
