br○○ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড way Pakistan does, what is it? If the people of East Bengal came when there were no difficulties there, we could have pushed them back or put them in jail here or whatever we do in those circumstances. But, we don’t and cannot do that, because the internal circumstances on their homeland are such, the happenings in Pakistan are such that she created a situation where people flee from terror with a momentum that is ever growing. Before I sit down, Mr. Chairman, I want to say this; that the large numbers of people who have come into this country should not be treated a member of a concentration camp of a nursing home or anything of that kind. They should be enabled to attain political, physical and other qualities which would enable them to return and resist the invaders. Resistance armies can be and have been built inside refugee (and even concentration) camps and can be done without our interfering with them. There is no reason why these able bodied people, people who have abilities, intellectuals and ex-soldiers who have come over should not themselves me largely responsible for the organization of these forces. So that when they are able to move out. to go out they will do so as a force of liberation. We constantly hear words and expressions used such as ‘conditions must be created for them to return.’ Who is going to create those conditions? Will it be the Government of Pakistan or the Imperialist powers of the world or the United Nations, which had made a mess of a similar matter in the Congo? What I say does not mean that the machinery of international cooperation should not be used. The personnel that has come over from East Bengal should be treated in such a way that politically mentally and in physical strength, they will be able to go back in order to add to the forces of resistance. That is what the position is which I would like to take at the present time. I do not wish to elaborate this further. And, if this is done, he would have contributed somewhat to the victory of the forces for liberation. I also want to say that we are debating a Private Member's Motion. Nobody would have thought we are going to say anything wonderful or new today. The fact is this that even once we discussed this issue 3 or 4 days ago, new circumstances have arisen! We have also had visitors from other countries who have returned here from East Bengal. I believe the Prime Minister herself has also said. Directly, or indirectly, there is no question of anybody thinking that Pakistan can go back to East Bengal. If they can say that Pakistan cannot go back, that is to say. They think that Pakistan Government will not be there, again, that is the objection and what is the impediment to recognition of the revolutionary authority that is there? A vacuum has been created by our diplomats being displaced by Pakistan. It is not right that whatever is there, by way of factual existence should be recognized. Recognition is only of what in fact eX1StS. It is pathetic that far more information of a factual character has been published in the British. American or French papers than ours. The Government relies on these newspaper items themselves and when they don't want to pursue the implications of the Reports they put a mystery around the whole issue and say this may not say anything about it for Government are doing. . . . . etC.
