He told a press conference after a 55 minute meeting with secretary General U Thant that the situation was deteriorating and might lead to a war if nothing was done to restrain India. Asked whether Pakistan would request for a Security Council meeting Mr. Mahmud Ali said the request might be made by Pakistan or the secretary General himself might call the meeting.
Asked whether Pakistan was banking on China's support in the Security Council lie said China had been constituently supporting Pakistan and would naturally continue to do so. About his talks with U Thant he said he had renewed President Yahya Khan's offer "to accept the good Offices of the secretary General to bring about peace between India and Pakistan."
Pakistan's Chief delegate said the Indian response to the Secretary General's offer was still awaited. Earlier when the Secretary General had offered to post UN observers to facilitate the return of Pakistani displaced persons. India had rejected the proposal.
Mr. Mahmud Ali said he had requested the secretary General to make contact with India and ascertain her response to his U Thant's offer of good offices. he said the Secretary General had promised to do so.
Replying to a question, he said it was possible that a meeting between U Thant and the Indian Premier Mrs. Indira Gandhi might take place during her visit to New York beginning Nov. 3.
