378 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ जाशतान्ळार्छीकड़क क्वाद्विड একটি প্রতিবেদন “আমরা’ ৫ সেপ্টেম্বর,১৯৭১ Djakarta, 5th Sept, REPORT (No. 2) President Yahya Khan has declared general amnesty for all. This included rebellious politicians, civil and military service personnel and all other persons alleged to have been involved since March I to September 5. Defected diplomats, according to declaration, may resume their duties to their respective missions. Mr. Ataur Rahman Khan is reported to have been released from detention under general amnesty; Some of the newspaper here have welcomed the declaration lukewarmly as a move of Yahya to transfer to civilian government. The declaration has not clearly mentioned about Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and other top Awami League leaders still under arrest or underground. The declaration, as it is reported, will apply to all. Dr. Malik's appointment as governor in replacement of Tikka khan was hailed by ruling political circle here. Press and other circles doubted the intention of Yahya as to how much power he would give to the governor and how far success the new governor would attain while the virtual power will be exercised by military from behind the curtain. Some papers described the appointment as a first step towards ultimate surrender. According to some source, the trial of Sheikh Mujibur Rahaman is postponed for three months. This was interpreted by diplomatic circle in two ways. First, an attempt again for a solution with united Pakistan due to bad world opinion and possible serious repercussions. Second, Yahya and his advisers are no more hopeful of controlling Bangladesh. The trial would produce nothing but a serious reaction in Bangladesh and the world. Pakistani contradictions in many instances were noticeable in interested circles. One such contradiction recently was on the number of refugees. Our collection of materials through various sources are being distributed to interested sympathetic quarters. Last week, we distributed the following: (i) “A Plot Against Yahya Khan”, SUNDAYTIMES, London, Aug. 1. (ii) “Acts of Repression in Bangladesh”, as reproduced in THE PEOPLE (By Regg Prentice).
