323 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ বাংলাদেশ এ্যাসোসিয়েশন অব কানাডা এ্যাসোসিয়েশনের প্রচারপত্র | ----- (টরেনটো) এর কর্মতৎপরতা সংক্রান্ত তথ্য ՏծԳծ BANGLADESH ASSOCIATION OF CANADA (TORONTO) ITS PRESENT OBJECTIVES In addition to normal functions required of an ethnic group in Canada, the Association should also undertake a special responsibility that has fallen on its shoulders due to the continued occupation and colonial exploitation in Bangladesh by the Pakistani Army. The following points are of interest: 1. Since Bangladesh is not yet recognized by Canada as a Sovereign and independent state and there is no Bengali diplomatic mission here, the Association must discharge at least such responsibilities as would have been required of a mission representing a country under foreign occupation, and a country that has been waging an armed struggle to liberate herself. 2. Since socio-economic institutions serving Bengali interests are non-existent in Canada, the Bengali people must try to the needs of such institutions through Bangladesh Association and take active part in the resistance movement. In concrete terms, the duties of the Association include: (i) dissemination of information on Bangladesh, (ii) publicity and propaganda at both public and Government levels for the cause of Bangladesh, (iii) persuading agencies and institutions not to help the occupation forces of Pakistan, and (iv) raising funds for the resistance movement of Bangladesh.
