br>br বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড I do not know what can be the more opportune occasion, opportune moment, to courageously handle the situation in Bangladesh. Because the Pakistan Government, I should say, have failed to have their military balance. They have shifted 21/2 divisions from West Pakistan to Bangladesh. There is the military imbalance in the disposition of Pak army. You know the economic crisis developing in Pakistan. You know the world pressure is growing against them. Therefore, there is the least chance of having an armed conflict with Pakistan. Even if Pakistan undertakes any misadventure against India, it will prove fatal to Pakistan and not to India. There is another apprehension. One thing I should say. Propaganda is being made in this country as if the economic crisis developing in Pakistan will being about the structural collapse of the political edifice of Pakistan from within. It is absolutely a wrong speculation. SHRI S. M. BANERJEE: As long as America is helping that will not happen. SHRI SAMARGUHA: Not only America, UK and others are there, who want the Pakistan should exist in its present form. They will not allow Pakistan to collapse from within due to economic reason. There is another apprehension in the mind of our Government that if there is an armed conflict between India and Pakistan as a result of giving recognition to Bangladesh. China may come in. Sir, I should say one thing. Our Government is making a costly mistake. They have sent emissaries to almost all the countries of the world-big and small. I do not understand why our Government do not try to open a dialogue with China on the issue of Bangladesh. At least, we have a weapon an ideological weapon, to use against China. China, for the last, I should say 25 years, has been carrying on propaganda day in and day out that they are helping the world by spreading and aiding national liberation movements. Taking advantage of their own commitment to national liberation movement, our Government should have approached China and opened a dialogue with them about the national liberation movement in Bangladesh. We should also take notice of one thing. China has not categorically mentioned anything about Bangladesh. They are maintaining scrupulous silence about Bangladesh. They have not uttered a word in support of Pakistan against Bangladesh. They have said something in favor of Pakistan, but categorically, they have not said anything yet about Bangladesh. SHRI M. RAM GOPAL REDDY. (Nizamabad): They said that they would maintain the integrity of Pakistan. SHRI SAMAR GUHA: At least I have not seen so far the official communique. When the C-in-C and the Defence Minister of Pakistan went to China and met Chou En Lai, certain statement was made. They said that China would help Pakistan and will be with Pakistan on Kashmir issue. They have not mentioned a single word about Bangladesh. SHRIP. K. DEO (Kalahandi): They have supplied them gun-boats. SHRI SAMAR GUHA: That they will do. All the big powers are doing that from America to Russia. Eyen Russia is giving them electronic equipment to be sent to
