187 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্র : একাদশ খন্ড the independence of Bangladesh. The technique of fighting has had to vary from time, to attain the best results in the prevailing situation. You will be proud to know my country men, that your brave sons have established an epical record in the war. They have fought the enemy many times superior in number and fire power -with selfless dedication, grim determination and cold courage, taking a heavy toll of the enemy conservatively estimated at about 25,000 killed to date. Our action against the enemy is being vigorously pursued The enemy, brave in using sophisticated modern weapons against unarmed men, helpless women and innocent children, skilled in raping women after killing their husbands, proficient in murdering babies in the presence of their mothers and sons in front of their fathers, but totally devoid of humanism and having no faith in the direction of God, is today funked by the impact of the vigorous strikes on him by your gallant sons. He is frightened in moving out except in strength and even than with a protective screen of local people forced to move ahead of him. Even then he is not finding security. Our brave Mukti Bahini are killing the enemy in numbers daily...The rod of justice is also falling on the enemy agents and quislings. My sincere advice to them and to those in enemy-organized armed bodies like Razakars is to desist from helping the murderers and the occupation forces and surrender to the MUKTI BAHINI 'with their arms. They will be welltreated. Those who have to stay inside must help the MUKTI BAHINI in every way in destroying the enemy. They must maintain absolute secrecy about the activities of the 'MUKTI BAHINI' because any traitor can only expect justice with lightening Speed. To the valiant fighters of the Bangladesh Forces 'Mukti Bahini 'composed of regulars 'NIYOMITO BAHINI and citizen soldiers 'GONO BAHINI, I offer my heartiest congratulations. Our enemy has modern jet aircrafts, armour heavy guns and sophisticated weapons obtained from the USA and the Peoples' Republic of China but we have TRUTH AND JUSTICE on our side.

Many have attained martyrdom, many have been wounded or disabled but you have inflicted on the enemy 40 times more casualties in terms of enemy killed. You have prevented him from establishing his writ beyond the cities and district towns, disabled him from taking out the economic resources of Bangladesh is today closed to him. As many as fifteen ships bringing him aid which would held him sustain his repression has been successfully destroyed or damaged by you, providing a warning to those helping the perpetration of brutalities and denial of human rights.
