rights. I think it was Mr. Haroon who said here-and I think he did it very unwisely-'why are you objecting today a Punjabi gentleman taking office when on the last two occasions you have had Bengali Prime Ministers, The question is not that although these Bengali Prime Ministers were thrown out by neck; that is a different matter.
Mr. Yusuf A. Haroon: On a point of a further explanation, Sir.
Mr. Speaker: Kindly resume your Seat.
Mr. H. S. Suhrawardy. Now, Sir, what I wish to place before you is this that I have got no grievance against any Punjabi as such or against Punjab. That is what I intended to state. I have got very highest regard for them. They are men, they are persons who give us army, soldiers, give us strength and they are people who, if properly led, would rise to the pinnacle of patriotism. But what you have done for them? You have put them behind, you have guillotined them, you have ruined them, you have stopped all the places for them, all for the sake of coterie. On account of your short sightedness you have allowed people to think that all that is being done here and there is for the sake of capturing power for the Punjab. So this is the state of affair in which we find ourselves today and with which we are faced today and that is the reason why the Opposition to the One-Unit Bill is growing. And how hive you gathered support for it, I do not want to go into the history of all these things which I have already dealt with to some extent. But you did so somewhere by force.
