We also have received subsequent allegations of violations. of the cease fire; I do not want to go into them. The main thing is that the United Nations observers have reached the subcontinent. You have observers in my country, and, I believe, you have observers on the other side.

 

The charges and counter charges have been made to the observers, and they have investigated them. All three reports submitted by your observers have clearly stated that Indians have been responsible for the violations of the cease-fire. There is document S/6710, dated 25 September 1965, which clearly establishes from your observers' report that India has violated the cease-fire.

 

Then there is another document-S/6710/Add. 2, dated 26 September 1965-in which the United Nations observers have again clearly placed the blame on India for the violations of the cease-fire. A third document, which has recently been circulated, that is, document S/6710/Add.1, dated 26 September 1965 again states that India is responsible for the cease-fire violations.

 

I would like to repeat the more recent information that has been given me of violations by India of the cease-fire. Your observers are there, and they will report to you impartially on who is violating the ceasd-fire.

 

We have agreed to abide by the cease-fire; we intend to abide by the cease fire. But we also believe sincerely and genuinely that permanent peace can be achieved only if the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is tackled and settled between the two countries.

 

As I told you the other night, there had been a cease-fire. before. There is a cease-fire now; we will try to implement it. We will do our very best. But its effective, proper, and final implementation can come only when the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is honourably settled..
