UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Sept. 29—Pakistan today asked India from the rostrum of the United Nations General Assembly to agree to direct negotiations or talks under impartial auspices on the problem, of East Pakistani refugees on Indian territory.

This public appeal came as private efforts by a number of governments, including the United States, Britain and Iran, for such talks appeared to be making no progress.

The Indian‐Pakistani dispute was raised in the Assembly this afternoon for the third day, even though it is not on the agenda. The head of Pakistan's delegation Mahmud Ali, spoke in response to yesterday's charges by the Indian Foreign Minister, Swaran Singh, that democratic aspirations of the population were being “crushed” in East Pakistan.

On Monday, Indian and Pakistani delegates engaged in a shouting contest over East Pakistan.

Indian Reluctance Charged

Addressing himself to Mr. Singh this afternoon, Mr. Ali, who is from East Pakistan, criticized India for what he described as her unwillingness to negotiate the return of the refugees whose number is estimated to have risen to eight million or nine million since the Pakistani Army began to suppress the region's autonomy movement in March.

The flow of refugees into India has not abated and there is concern that a feared famine and mounting activities by Bengali guerrillas or the Pakistani Army will further increase the exodus.

Mr. Ali said that Pakistan had not asked India to help her solve her internal problems and that “the only matter which concerns India is the presence of a large number of Pakistani citizens on its soil and how to send them back home.”

“It is to discuss this problem that, in my Government's view representatives of the two countries should meet either by themselves or under some impartial auspices,” he said.

His reference to “impartial auspices” was taken by diplomats to mean a possible role for Iran in arranging some form of discussions.

The Shah of Iran, Mohamed Reza Pahlevi, met with Pakistani President Agha Mohammed Yayha Khan earlier this month in what was believed to be an attempt at mediation.

Since the start of the General Assembly session here last week, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Sli Khalatbari, has discussed the problem with several delegations and brought it up at a meeting with Secretary of State William P. Rogers. The United States has also been attempting to use its influence in Pakistan to lessen the ten ions with India.

Dangers of an Indian‐Pakistani war were invoked by the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Alec Douglas‐Home, in his policy address to the Assembly this morning when he said that “the world watches the frontiers of India and Pakistan with increasing anxiety.” He said that “there could be no greater tragedy for the world, even than the Middle East, if India and Pakistan find themselves unwillingly at war.”
