And the gun-boats that Pakistan is using in Bangladesh are supplied by USA. by France and other countries, not by China alone. I should also like to draw the attention of the House to the Volte face of the politics of China in regard to her post-War world diplomacy. After 1950, America was the inveterate imperialist enemy of China. But now China is trying to get into the UNO through the window of Washington. SHRIS. M. BANERIEE: Ping-pong diplomacy. SHRI SAMAR GUHA: Sir, you should remember China is a very seasoned, conservative country, diplomatically very conservative in its outlook. It does not easily change its policy. This we should remember. This radical change in the diplomatic posture of China vis-à-vis U.S is not a casual political game in the international field. It is a calculated move to get a seat in the UNO and to get other economic benefits from U.S.A. Do you think that, China is interested in Vietnam, Laos or Cambodia? Nowhere they are physically involved, directly involved. They have given help to them.

It will help them to consolidate themselves; to liberate and have consolidation of their freedom and liquidate the army of Pakistan. The Mukti Fouz has made the Pakistan army demoralized. So many reports have come in the Press. These are correct reports. They are penetrating inside, even inside Dhaka. They have attacked Dhaka aerodrome; they have blasted the powerhouse inside Dhaka. These young men have such a fine spirit but we are not helping these fine, dedicated souls, to achieve and consolidate their freedom. The Prime Minister had the image that she successfully projected before the people of India which shot her into a summit of absolute power. That image was an image of courage, confidence and decision. SHRIATAL BIHARIVAJPAYEE (Gwalior): What is the image now? SHRI SAMAR GUHA: I do not want to belittle her because I am very conscious of the reality that we, in the Opposition, may create public pressure, public opinion, we may
