 Our involvement with our own community in U. K. is all embracing and meaningful. We took the first initiative to form an all-cmbracing Central Action Committee. We had organized a large meeting of Bengalis on the last 19th March for the said purpose. For irreconcilable differences of opinion we could not form the committee. But the movement was never slowed down in those days. Our movement even in those days had the full support of various sections of our own community.

 We organized many demonstrations and took part in every demonstration. The first public meeting in London addressed by Justice A. S. Chowdhury and the Rt. Hon. John Stonehouse was organized by us. Since then we organized many rallies. processions and demonstrations. We also organized demonstrations against the visiting Pakistan Cricket team. Our comrades Manik Choudhury and Afroz Afgan staged a hunger strike in front of 10 Downing Street demanding recognition of Bangladesh. We also staged a hunger strike in from of the U. S. Embassy[১]. The evening of 25th March was a turning point in the lives of all and every Bengali living in the U. K. We took part along with many more Bengalis in the spontaneous outburst that took place in front of Pakistan IIigh Commission in London. Since then we urged upon every Bengalis to sever their relation with Pakistan and never again we went to demonstrate in front of Pakistan High Commission. Bengalis in every localities formed Action Committees and we in turn made it a cardinal principle to co-operate with every Committee on the issue involving Bangladesh.

 Friends, this report is not likely to give you the full details of our activities. We tried here in brief to give you the nature and character of our activities. We stand firm for the People's Republic of Bangladesh and let the world know that there is to be no compromise on that.

JOI BANGLA!
