Ե-Ե-Ե বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড SHRIMATI INDIRA GANDHI: They are lies, but we should not do anything which could encourage this propaganda and might go against him. One more point I should like to make to the hon. Members. Sometimes in our speeches, we tend to talk about West Pakistan. At all times we should make a distinction between the people of West Pakistan with whom we have no quarrel whatsoever... (Interruption) and the military regime which is responsible for the atrocities in Bangla Desh and which is suppressing the legitimate political rights of the people even in the different provinces of West Pakistan. Now we come to the end of the session. As we do so, we reiterate our strong feelings about Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and all that is happening to the long-suffering people of the Bangladesh. They are a gifted people who have perhaps given more revolutionaries in this sub-continent than any other part of the region. To-day they are undergoing great hardship. As I said earlier, Sheikh Mujib is not just an individual. We should be concerned about the liberty and the rights even of an individual and a revolutionary. But, to-day, he has became the embodiment... (Interruptions) of the aspirations and urges of the people of Bangla Desh and of the suffering and spirit of sacrifice which they are enduring with such courage and fortitude. This is a good note on which to end the session. It is a very sad note but such are the circumstances of the situation... SHRI SHYAMNANDAN MISRA (Begumsarai): What are the reactions of other countries to your approach to the trial of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman? SHRIMATI INDIRA GANDHI: Several have written to us that they are taken up the matter or that they have taken up the matter. SHRISHYAMNANDAN MISHRA: U Thant has no initiative in this matter So far? SHRIMATI INDIRA GANDHI: The hon. Member must have Seen the statement issued by U Thant. It appeared in the morning papers. I don't know whether it is the full statement or not. But, that it will give the Hon'ble Members some idea of the difficulties of the situation. We are aware of the weaknesses of the U. N. which have been obvious in other situation also. SHRIP. VENKATASUBBAIAH (Nandyal): In-built weaknesses. SHRIMATI INDIRA GANDHI: Another question is what will help Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at this particular moment. I am glad that the House has shown such unity and solidarity in this matter, because, this is a source of strength to us in this situation. We are interested not merely because of our opinion about Sheikh Mujibur Rahman but because we think that the action proposed by the military regime of West Pakistan will have an impact, not only on Bangla Desh and on our country, but we feel, that will have a much wider impact all over the world. Nor will it help even those countries who think they are helping the military Government of West Pakistan. Even that end will not be served. MR. SPEAKER: Now the House stands adjourned sine die. Wish we you very comfortable and happy vacation; we will meet again sometime in November. 19.21 hrs. The Lok Sabha then adjourned sine die
