THE REFUGEE PROBLEN
INTRODUCTION
India is threatening war with Pakistan. She is indulging in cynical exploitation of the refugee problem to impose on Pakistan a political settlement of her choice. She is dissuading and deterring the refugees from returning in order to claim a part of East Pakistan's territory on the pretext that it is required for resettling them as they will not return to East Pakistan unless a government under the secessionist leader; Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, is formed in that province. India is also threatening the international community with the consequences of not associating themselves her in making the above demand on President Yahya Khan.
Pakistan does not want war. President Yahya Khan has made several appeals to welcome the refugees back to Pakistan. His Government is making sincere efforts to rehabilitate them when they return, in cooperation with the U.N. Secretary - General and all the U.N. agencies, such as UNICEF, U.N, Refugee Organization, F.A.O., and so forth. President Yahya Khan is also working for an early political settlement of the problem in East Pakistan and announced once more on June 28 that he is preparing to transfer power to the elected representatives of the people within three or four months, or even sooner if the Commission appointed to frame an interim constitution completes its task.
The world community has an obligation to restrain India and to prevent the outbreak of war which, as the British Foreign Secretary recently said, may convert “a tragedy into a catastrophe."
