br○○ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড About the second question that he has asked, namely why the U.S. Government has not stopped the movement of these ships, I would like to submit that this is precisely what we are asking them to do. This is our demand that they should stop these ships and should ensure that deliveries are not made to Pakistan. SHRIATAL BIHARIVAJPAYEE: What was their reaction? SHRI SWARAN SINGH: I have replied in my statement already that we have not yet got any. My hon, friend has also reinforced us by his demonstration, and we appreciate that. His third question was about the list of equipment. I am sorry that we are unable বলতে চাই না, মন্ত্রী মহাশয়ের হয়ত মনে আছে, ১৯৬৫ সালে আমেরিকার কয়েকটি জাহাজ অস্ত্র নিয়ে আসছিল। সেগুলি ভারতীয় সীমান্তের ১৫ মাইলের প্রান্তে থেমে ছিল সেগুলিকে থামান হয়েছিল। আমেরিকা যদি চায় তাহলে জাহাজ থামিয়ে দিতে পারে। SHRI SWARAN SINGH 1 I agree that if the United States wants and they decide.

As regards the fourth question, it is correct that we have been urging very strongly the various Governments who are giving economic aid to Pakistan to stop giving that economic aid until they reverse the present trends in Bangladesh, stop atrocities. Facilitate the return of refugees and make a settlement with the elected representatives of Bangladesh. His fifth point was the criticism of the statement which I made on arrival at Palam. I would like to explain that there was a telegram, that is, a typed copy of a telegram which was shown to me and I was told that this was a news item which had been received from the United States, and I was asked whether that news was correct and what my reaction was. I said that I could not say whether that news was correct and that I would have to check up, but if that news was correct then it was against all assurances. And we were totally opposed to it. That was the second part of my Statement which I wanted the hon. Member to read. The sixth point that he has made is that it appears that there were secret dealings between Pakistan and the United States. We had been assured in the matter of arms
