br○○ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড I would like to reply to those points first. He said that there must be it Government, there must be a territory and there must be viability. I would request the Hon'ble Member to consider these three aspects in their true and proper perspective. The emergence of Bangladesh as a sovereign independent republic is a fact and that has definitely and undoubtedly brought about a qualitative change in the annals of history of international politics. And it simply implies that it has given a serious bow to Pakistan in its known form based on its two-nation theory. It also shows that Pakistan in its known form of its two-nation theory has met its own death in East Pakistan which is now Bangladesh. Out of these three conditions nothing is lacking in Bangladesh. That there is a Government, and this Government receives habitual obedience from the majority of 90 per cent of the people of Bangladesh, in that case how one can say it does not satisfy the conditions necessary for recognition. Then, there is a question of territory. It is known to the world that at least a smaller portion of the territory is still under the control and guidance of Bangladesh freedom movement and the ‘Mukti Fauj'. What about other consideration? The other consideration is whether it is viable. It is true, if Bangladesh comes into being today, as the other Hon’ble Member just now said, if Bangladesh is recognized the relationship between India and the Government of Bangladesh will create such a power which will daintily one day balance the world power politics. Considering all this, I cannot understand why these sort of arrangements are being advanced. Another Hon'ble Member advanced an argument that it is for the Government to decide. I would like to ask the Hon'ble Member to consider this fact. We are living in a democratic institution. I would ask him to consider whether it is the monopoly of the Government consider in their opinion or whether it is the duty of the Government, its democratic institution, to consider the consensus the Members of Parliament, the views of the Members of Parliament and also the views of the Indian people at large. In regard to the international laws, that argument was also advanced. I would ask the Hon'ble Member to consider and study those international laws. Is there any basic framework of international laws? Is there any basic law which is always static? In the field of international laws, what we find is that in the exigencies of the circumstances, considering certain views and certain developments, the international laws and conventions are going to be accepted by certain political powers. On the contrary, there are certain laws and conventions which have been accepted as dogmatic norms. If that be so, if that is the case, I would appeal to the Government at least to consider, even in the eyes of international law, even in the eyes of the logistic views or theoretical views, there is no bar to the immediate recognition of Bangladesh. Not only that. In the past history, in 1903, Panama was recognized by U.S.A. even before an inch of the territory was under the control of the liberation forces of Panama. It was recognized by U.S.A. Even after the first World War, several other countries in similar situations were recognized. After the Second World War, some of the
