bのこ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড should be taken into confidence as to what is happening and what is our position. Either the Government should make a statement or you should permit us to raise some sort of a discussion in this House. THE MINISTER OF STATE (DEFENCE PRODUCTION) IN THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE (SHRIVIDYA CHARAN SHUKLA). It is not correct to say that we are in a state of undeclared war with Pakistan or that there is a state of hostilities between India and Pakistan (Interruption). This is exactly what Pakistan is trying to say in various world capitals and in the UN that there is some kind of a war between India and Pakistan, some kind of hostilities between India and Pakistan, which is absolutely incorrect. There is no state of undeclared war or anything like that. Whatever war is going on is between the rules of West Pakistan and the people of Bangladesh. That is the only thing. Pakistan is trying to internationalize that conflict in impressing upon the world capitals and others that there is an undeclared war between India and Pakistan and, therefore, U.N. and other bodies should come and intervene in this matter. I would on request the hon. Members not to fall prey to such kind of Pakistani propaganda. There is a propaganda and canard which is being carried on by Pakistan. (Interruption). SHRIATAL BIHARI VAJPAYEE: I take objection to this. We are not fall prey to any Pakistani propaganda. He has no business to impute motives. SHRIVIDYA CHARAN SHUKLA: I am not imputing any motive. I am on warning that nobody should be taken in prey of such propaganda. I emphatically deny that there is any undeclared war between India and Pakistan. This is absolutely in corrected to say. Nobody should ever say such things because it is Pakistan’s attempt to internationalize that whole situation. As regards giving information, we do brief the press from time to time about whatever happens on the borders. Our forces are there. Whenever incursions are made by Pakistani armed forces, we throw them back. If they fire artillery, we reply and silence their guns. These king of things are happening. From time we brief the press so that the people and the nation get informed about these matters. SHRIINDRAJIT GUATA: (Alipur) Why don't you brief the Parliament? SHRI VIDYA CHARAN SHUKLA: I am coming to that. There are thing happenings inside Bangladesh. We get information from communiqués issued from time to time in Bangladesh about such things. We have also own sources of information. We will not hesitate for a moment to come before Parliament and give information whenever anything of importance or anything which deserves the attention of Parliament happens on our border. There is an official brief about these things which are happening, shelling here or an incursion there which is effectively replied to. If we come daily and give statements about these things, I do not think we shall be setting up a good precedent. If there is anything of importance or anything which is really worth the attention of Parliament, as soon as it comes to our notice, we shall surely inform the House about it. Now, with your permission, Sir, I would like to make a statement.
