INDIA-PAKISTAN: Indian Foreign Minister Swaran
Singh has warned opposition politicians that New
Delhi may have to take unilateral military action
soon to solve the refugee problem.
Singh, in briefing the parliamentary opposition
leaders on 4 June in preparation for his current trip
to Washington, Moscow, and several other capitals,
reportedly said that the refugee situation is rapidly
becoming "impossible." He plans to tell world lead-
ers that unless there is pressure on Pakistan to take
the refugees back and there is extensive aid for them,
India will take unilateral military action against
East Pakistan.
If this report accurately reflects Singh's po-
sition, it represents a significant movement by the
foreign minister away from his previous "dovish" at-
titude toward Indo-Pakistani relations. It is pos-
sible that Singh's remarks are also part of India's
major diplomatic campaign to influence foreign gov-
ernments. Singh made it clear to the opposition
party leaders that he did not care if they told
everyone they knew about his position.
C In Moscow, Singh's representations already
have had some effect. In a joint communique on 8
June, Indian and Soviet officials called for greater
efforts by Pakistan to stop the flow of refugees.
They also urged that further steps be taken to re-
store peace and create conditions of security in East I
Pakistan so refugees would be willing to return.
