S/PV.1093 Security Council

1 ehnll now cal1 on the representative of Indla who hns indioated his desire to speak. 7, Mr. CHAOLA (India): Mr. President, 1 wishtojoin the rspreaentntive of Pakistan in expreesing my deep appreoiation for the effort that you hnve been maklng during a11 these days, and also your oolleagues, to bring about a oonsensus to whloh a11 the members of the Seourlty Counoil and both parties oould eubeoribe. 1 very muoh regret that your efforts have failed. 8. The representative of Pakistan ueed an expression that the efforts had ben obetruoted. You, Mr. President, and the membere of the Seourity Counoil will know from whioh direotion the obetruotion oame and 1 will not dilate on that. 9. 1 am rather eurprlsed at thie application for a short adjournment of the debate, Let us look at the hirtory of this oase. We were draggedberefrom India -dragged here, and 1 emphaeiee that expression-by Pakistan on the ground that a very grave emsrgenoy had adsen in Kashmir whioh required the immediate attention of the Seourity Counoil. What ha8 happened to that grave emergenoy? We bave been ritting here for three weeks. Every member of the Seourity Counoil har exprerred hlr opinion on the rubjeot. The debate har been oonoluded. When 1 ruggested to the reprerentative of Pakistan at the lart meeting that we rhould slt an heur longer, we were told that he wanted inrtruotionr from hir Qovernment and that we rhould adjourn until thir morning. 10. 1s it so diffioult to get inetruotionsfrom I’nkistan in the oourse of two days? Why tlris delfly for n faw daye? Are we golng to be hero ut tho convenlance of Paklstnn? We are In your hando, Mr. Prosidont. You are the ultimnte arblter of the procecluro of thls body, but 1 hnve n rlght to protest ugulnst the wny Pnklstfln eeeks to trent Indln In thls matter. It sults tho convonlance of the reprooentntlvo of Paklstnn to go to Pnklstnn for a fow dnys nncl corne hck. It doee net suit mo. Aftor nll, if lt If3 a quofltlon of oonvonIoiice, the oonvenlence of bath pnrtles should be considorod.

The Councll has heard the propoaal made by the representative of Pakistan that It ahould adjourn or suspend Ite consideration of the present question for a llmited time. In this connexion, mle 36 of the provisIona rules of procedure of the Seourity Counoil reads: “Any Member of the United Nations invited In ta.ooordanoe with the preoeding Rule or in application of Article 32 of the Charter topartioipate In the disouseione of the Security Counoil may submit proposa18 and draft resolutiona. These proposala and draft resolutions may be put to a vote only at the request of a representative on the Seourlty Counoil.” 13, 1 take It that we are faoed witha forma1 proposa1 by the representative of Paklston, and therefore, if It 1s to be deolded by a vote of the Seaurity Counoil, It ~111 have to be put before the Counoil by one of the membere. -

May 1 express my views in oonnexion with the etntemente made by the distinguished Mini&er%, the Pakletnn Minlsterfor External Affairs and the Indian Mini&er of Education? 16. The ides of adjournlng the moetlng of the Security Counoll whloh ha8 juet been suggested by the representatlve of Pakistan, its Minister for External Affaire Mr. Bhutto, 1s in substance open tono objection. Nor, 80 fer aa 1 reoall, has any objection to such a deoialon been raised by the Indian delegation, If 1 have correotly underetood the etatement of ;he MInIeter, Mr. Chagla. In thie connexion, however, we feel that the points of view of the parties ooncerned-that le, the wishes and positione of both Pakistan and Indiashould be taken lnto aocount in the adoption of a formula to adjourn the meeting of the Seourity Counoll. 1 feel sure that in thla matter the Securlty Councll ~111 give every ooneiderotion to the pcsiti&s of the partie8 ooncerned-that 18, to the position8 of both India and Pakirtan, 16.
