Pakistan Ambassador Agha Hilaly called in a press conference at the Pakistan Embassy in Washington on Thursday (27 May) for an end to external interference in Pakistan's method of dealing with the refugee problem following the fighting in East Pakistan. He said that his government was doing everything possible to facilitate the return of the refugees who fled to India during the fighting. He also said that his country did not want a war with India, but resented India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's attempt to "internationalise" an internal problem.
