NEW DELHI, Oct. 25—Defense Minister Jagjivan Ram reiterated today that India would not pull her troops back from her borders with Pakistan “as long as the Pakistani threat continues.”

In a speech at the National Defense College here, he said India would not commit aggression against Pakistan but would resist any attack with “full force.”

“We will not be satisfied merely by defending our borders in case of aggression on our territory,” he said. “We will push the enemy back into his territory and see that fighting takes place in enemy country and not on our soil.”

Mrs. Gandhi on Tour

The Defense Minister—who is generally regarded as a tough‐talking spokesman for Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, whose remarks have been more moderately phrased — declared a week ago that if a war were thrust on the Indians, they would not withdraw from any territory they occupied.

Mrs. Gandhi left yesterday on a three‐week tour of Europe and the United States to seek support among Western leaders for India's position.

Tension has been mounting on the Indian‐Pakistani borders, both east and west, since the Pakistani Army struck in East Pakistan last March to try to crush the Bengali independence movement. It is that estimated that 9.4 million East Pakistani refugees have fled into India, putting a heavy strain on the economy.

India has been giving help to the Bengali insurgents and Pakistan has been threatening war unless India desisted. The confrontation has worsened over the last few weeks as both countries moved their armies right to the borders, in battle positions. Border clashes, which have been common since March, have become more severe in recent days.

Mr. Ram said that if international pressure was exerted on India to withdraw her troops, India would demand that the international community assume responsibility for the early return of the refugees to East Pakistan. Only after the refugees started moving back would India consider a withdrawal, he added.

India is expected to decline the offer by Secretary General Thant, following a request from the President of Pakistan, Agha Mohammad Yahya Khan, to mediate her quarrel with the Pakistanis. Her position is that talks are meaningless unless Pakistan removes the cause of the crisis—what is viewed as military repression in East Pakistan.

There is still no war hysteria in New Delhi, but stickers reading “Liberate Bangla Desh” (East Pakistan), “Punish Yahya Khan,” and “Finish Pakistan” began appearing on cars in the capital today—apparently in response to the heavy display of “Crush India” posters and stickers in Pakistan.
