238 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড 3. Information Campaign: Various groups of Bengalis have already done good work in publicizing the atrocities perpetrated on our people and in approaching various influential persons to lend their voice in condemning West Pakistan. This work should now be taken up by every Bengali. Special attention should be paid to student bodies, academic councils, and eminent professors. The intellectual community should be informed of the enormity of the crimes committed by the West Pakistani Army. Try to get these bodies and persons to pass resolutions asking for the cessation of the genocide. Arrange to speak to any group or organization interested in hearing about our view of the conflict. It is important to point out that we are not "Rebels" as we are being called so often in press. TV and radio. (There is absolutely no analogy with the situation in America during their Civil War. Rather our struggle is analogous to their independence struggle against colonial rulers in 1776.) It is the army which has rebelled against the majority of the duly elected representatives of the people. Emphasize the fact that a legitimate, elected body is being destroyed by an army led by a dictator. Also emphasize their Nazi-style attack on the entire educated class, the destroying of Dacca University, the wanton killing of students and the cold-blooded murder of at least 50 professors and lecturers of Dacca University. (We hear the among them there may have been Dr. Shah Azizur Rahman, Dr. G. C. Deb and Dr. Muzaffer Ahmed Choudhury.) It is absolutely imperative for the movement that the sympathy of the press, TV, radio and other publicity media is awakened and kept alive. 4. India, Ceylon, Borma There should be unrelenting pressure on these three countries to help us. Ceylon should not allow re-fuelling as well as over flight of military or PIA planes. P1A is continuously ferrying troops into Bangladesh. Burma should not allow over flights of military planes coining via China. India should immediately help the Republic of Bangladesh with materials. Letters from Bengalis and Americans, telegrams, telephone calls, resolutions passed by Indian, Ceylonese and Burmese nationals, all these will help in our campaign. There is not a moment to lose. Please give your utmost for the cause of Bangladesh. JOY BANGLA. Temporary Address: 31 17 7th Street, N. E. Washington, D.C. 20217. Telephone: 703-356-0277.
