br○ミ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড হয়েছে। যুক্তরাষ্ট্র যদি বাংলাদেশকে কোন রাজনৈতিক সমাধান চায় তাহলে তার ভূমিকা কি এই হবে যে সে পাকিস্তানকে অস্ত্র দিবে? এতে সুস্থ পরিবেশ সৃষ্টি হবে না। বাংলাদেশ সম্পর্কে আপনার মূল্যায়ন কি? একদিকে আপনি বলছেন যে তাকেই সাহায্য করবেন, অন্যদিকে তার সমস্যাবলীর অপেক্ষা আমাদের দেশের জন্যই মাথাব্যথা বেড়ে গেছে, এই পরিস্থিতিতে শেষ পর্যন্ত আপনার সিদ্ধান্ত কি, কিভাবে তাদেরকে সহায়তা করতে চান এ কথা কেন স্পষ্ট করে বলছেন না। আমার মতে বাংলাদেশকে স্বীকৃতি দিয়ে পৃথক ভাবে তাকে সাহায্য দেয়াই বেশী ভাল। এসব বিষয়ে আমি সরকারের ব্যাখ্যা চাইছি। SHRI SWARAN SINGH: I would like to assure the hon. Member, if any assurance is required, that he should not have any complex that we are afraid of any country, whether it is the United States or any other country. We have our own policy and we say clearly what we feel about the attitude of any country. We must refuse to accept the dictation of foreign countries but I do not accept the phraseology coined by my friend opposite in order to express my disapproval of any action that might be taken by them. Some of the questions that he has asked are just parts of a speech, but still I have carefully tried to find out if he is making many enquiries from me. I would try to confine myself only to the points about which he is asking me to give any information. He has asked why our Embassy was unable to get this information before it appeared in the U. S. newspapers. It should be appreciated that in a vast country like the United States, to keep track of all shipments at all places is, on any consideration, too large a task to expect any Embassy to perform. SHRIJYOTIRMUY BOSU: They do it here successfully. SHRI SWARAN SINGH: You may have better means of intelligence. SHRI IYOTIRMOY BOSU: I said "they". The United States have a network of intelligence in our country. SHRI SWARAN SINGH: You may be right. There may be other countries also, and we also try to get as much information as we can. We also exercise vigilance to the extent that we can. AN HON. MEMBER: But you get nothing. SHRI SWARAN SINGH: Lots of things which are not known to the hon. Members, which we probably may not like to tell them. (Interruptions) About that you do also. We have that information, we may not be using that information. The next point that he asked is if the United States does not stop the ships, what do we do. We at the present moment have asked them that they should stop them, and you cannot expect me to answer a hypothetical question. The next question that was asked was. What was the reply of the United States to our demands? I have said in my reply that this was only two days old and we were awaiting the reply.
