276 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড Another Bengali who left this country about a month ago writes from Agartala: "Every day hundreds of young men are being trained for guerilla action. It's unbelievable how fast they learn. I am happy that I came. Otherwise I would have never known this dedication of the Bengalis, their love for their country and their willingness to die for its freedom and honor." NEWS OF INTEREST BERKELEY: A conceit of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan (the renowned Sarodist), Mr. John Handy (American jazz) and Mr. Zakir Hussain (labia) was held on May 28, 197 I to raise funds for relief of Bangladesh refugees in India. Nearly three thousand dollars were collected from sale of tickets and about five hundred dollars were collected on the spot as donation. SAN FRANCISCO: A demonstration is being organized on June 2, 1971. LOS ANGELES: All members have committed to contribute $ 10.00 every month to the organisation and we hope, members of other units will do the same. Donations are flowing in and more are expected. Plans are being arranged to hold a demonstration on June 11. 1971. TUCSON (Arizona): Publicity campaign going on in Arizona State University campus and donations are flowing in. DENVER (Colorado): Local chapter formed and funds are being collected. Attached to this newsletter is an enclosure describing the present state of politics in Bangladesh. It also includes an assessment of the people with whome the Pakistani military regime is hobnobbing to form a puppet government in Bangladesh. AN APPEAL The minimum donation per month was fixed at $ 10.00 per month for the members in Los Angeles. This should not limit the donations of those who are employed and are in a position to contribute higher amount. When millions of people back home are undergoing great hardships at this critical juncture of our history, we should be able to do away with some of our comforts and luxuries. Those who are employed and can afford to forego some of their luxuries are requested to donate as much as they can to the best of their ability, preferably at a fixed percentage of their net monthly income. Dr. Rafiqur Rahman of Stanford has suggested that 5% of the net monthly income may be made as contribution and may be handed over to the local head-office. Published by American league of Bangladesh.
