The India-Pakistan Situation
(Report #74 -- As of 11:00 AM EDT)
1. Pakistan is claiming that Indian forces are
continuing their attempts to improve their positions
in several sectors of the India-West Pakistan border
area. I the
Pakistanis allege Indian attacks in the Lahore,
Suleimanki and Rajasthan sectors designed to clear
areas under Pakistani control, and assert that the
situation is very likely to get out of hand unless
the UN takes immediate action. While it is probable
that both sides are attempting some adjustment of
their lines prior to the establishment of some
authority there, it would appear that the Indians
are taking a harder approach to the clearing of
their territory.
2. Prime Minister Shastri, addressing a public
meeting in New Delhi today, has criticized Britain's
"partisan attitude" in India's conflict with Pakistan.
He took Prime Minister Wilson to task for keeping
silent when Kashmir was attacked by Pakistani infil-
trators and tanks while criticizing India for its
attack toward Lahore. This line by Shastri is prob-
ably meant primarily for domestic consumption, fol-
lowing similar parliamentary criticism two days ago,
