please try to imagine our position. The Liberation Army needs many things and you write to our people asking for those things, innocent people come to us and blame us. They say we are responsible for the sufferings of our fighting forces. They ask if money is not utilized for the purpose for which it has been contributed, why should further subscription be made? We are being accused of inaction. Just at a time when the Steering Committee was considering writing to you about their unfortunate predicament, your latest circular has reached the people in Britain. Scores of people are coming to us and asking why medicine, garments and other essential things have not been sent. They demand explanation, they want action and want us to be penalized for all our silence over sending materials for which you are writing to them.

 We do not understand why we are not allowed to spend a fraction of the money we have collected for you. Frankly speaking, because of our inability to send any help and your direct approach to the individual. Committees for help the Central Authority shall be utterly disregarded and in all practical purposes and shall eventually collapse. The Pakistan High Commission through his agents is trying to prove that the Steering Committee has dwindled and monecy should not be contributed to Bangladesh Fund. Consequently, it is highly likely that out of sheer patriotism, individual organization shall operate different Fund, collect money and shall remain responsible only to themselves.

 I hope I have been able to communicate to you the enormous pressure and insult that are being thrown at us.

 In any case I have sent out a similar circular asking people to give warm clothing for the Mukti Bahini and hope inspite of all the points I have mentioned. I am sure it will receive tremendous response. I shall soon be writing to you again. With kindest regards.

JOY BANGLA.

Yours sincerely,
