brど)○ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড is that the conditions are not at the moment either proper or-wise for granting recognition. We will keep this matter under review and we will take a decision at the appropriate time. This is our stand and I hope it will be appreciated and I request Mr. Samar Guha not to divide the House and the country on this issue because there is no disagreement on the substance and it should not be lost is these slogans and counter slogans in which I have a fear that the real problem will miss to and we will be involved in this type of slinging match which I do not want to participate in because I know more than the Hon'ble Members the vital issues involved, the delicacy and also the risk. . . . . . (Interruption). It is, therefore, our responsibility. . . . SHRI S. M. BANERJEE: Say something about America. Why don't you say against your masters?

SHRI SEZHIYAN (Kumbakonam): Shri Mujibur Rahman is reported to be critically ill. This is their usual practice. Whenever they want to do away with the life of a certain leader they may do this. Today it is said, Mujibur Rahman is ill. Tomorrow they may say, he is in critical condition. Day after tomorrow it may be reported that he is dead. I want to know what Government is doing in this regard. SHRI SWARAN SINGH: I would like to say that this is the policy which we have been following which I have just outlined and we have all along kept the House informed both here and also in the course of the informal discussions with the leaders of the Opposition. I think it is not proper to suggest that this has got anything to do with the visit to India of the Advisor to President Nixon. That has nothing to do with this. There is
