冷)○○ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড Should be a broad outlook in approaching the relations between India and European Economic Community. There are new possibilities of our collaboration in the industrial, technological and scientific fields. In brief, these are the impressions which I should like to share with honorable Members. I am deliberately not mentioning the leaders of individual countries by name because they were all full of sympathy and friendship for India. I think my visit also helped to restore our relations with Britain which had Suffered a serious setback in 1965. I should also like to express, on behalf of the Governments and the people of India, my sincere thanks to the Governments and peoples of the countries I visited for the warm and friendly reception I received everywhere. I should further record my appreciation of the world Press which, by and large, has given a fair and objective account of the events in Bangladesh, of the inexpressible horror let loose upon the people, of the herolestruggles which they are waging in defence of the most elementary democratic right and liberties. May I take this opportunity of thanking my people and all the political parties who have shown wisdom and restraint and kept the nation united against any external threat? Mr. Deputy Speaker, I conclude this statement with a reminder that in the community of nations our country symbolizes the urge for peace, freedom and justice. There was a time shen ours was a lone voice in a world which was in the grip of the cold war. Even in the midst of the grave crisis which the military rulers of Pakistan have created for us, our people, our country, and this great Parliament of the largest democracy in the world have maintained the spirit of peace and of self-restraint. We have refused to be excited by threat or provocation from across our borders. Let us then continue to conduct ourselves with quiet confidence in ourselves s that the world should see and know that India strength go together. India is calm and we are capable of taking decision in defence of our security and stability. SHRI SAMAR MUKHERJEE (Howrah) : Sir, We want a discussion on this. MR. DEPUTY SPEAKER: He can give notice of a motion for that. SHRIS. M. BANERJEE: In should also be circulated. SHRIMATI INDIRA GANDHI: I had a meeting with the leaders of groups this morning. It has been agreed that we will have a discussion. It is for your and the Business Advisory Committee to fix the date. MR. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Then it is only a question of time.
