Y. 10025. December 19, 1970 Mr. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, President Pakistan Awami League Dhanmondi, Dacca East Pakistan. Dear Mr. Rahman, On behalf of the Pakistan League of America, I would like to congratulate you and your party on your overwhelming victory during the first genuine election in the history of Pakistan. The result of the election explicitly proves that East Pakistanis can no longer tolerate the domination by W. Pakistan. East Pakistan's resources are being exploited for the last 23 years to develop W. Pakistan. Today per capita annual income of an East Pakistani is $ 63.00 where as that of a West Pakistan is $125.00. East Pakistan is only being used as a colony of W. Pakistan. I am sure that there are many other issues involved and that one could be more aware of them than you. However, there are a few other things which disturb me and I would like to call them to your attention. There are three thousand Pakistani students in the U. S. A...according to the latest registration statistics in the Embassy of Pakistan and out of which only 163 students come from East Pakistan. This kind of disparity regarding students also exists ill U. K. and in most of the other countries where Pakistani students go for higher study. A fantastic disparity also prevails in the 'Foreign services. For instance, in the ministry of Foreign Affairs, both Foreign Secretary and Assistant Foreign Secretary are from W. Pakistan. Also, there are 54 ambassadors and out of which only 14 from E. Pakistan. The injustices which the East Pakistanis have suffered for the last 23 years is unimaginable and would be impossible to rectify even if E. Pakistan gels autonomy. The only way we can rectify this is to become the master of our own destiny. We, the East Pakistani students and scholars in the U. S. A., therefore, do urge you to struggle' for the implementation of the 1940 Pakistan resolution moved by Mr. A. K.
