412 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড contacting local leaders and intellectuals with the help of 'Hamid'. He has not been in touch with the 'Group' for the last few months. Presumably, he is busy with his personal problems. Though the group is missing the services of Sufi, it is fortunate in having active support of some enthusiastic members like Safri, Ruhani and Ansar. Its latest achievement is to enlist support of Badar. Though there is no room for complacency, the group is confident of making its humble contribution to the cause of the nation. 8. This report may be concluded with the following comments / suggestions: (a) Though the attitude of the Indonesian Government towards Bangladesh is at present unfavorable and unfriendly, continued efforts should be made to convince them of our stand and win-over their support. This is necessary in view of the position of this country in the Moslem world particularly in SouthEast Asia and as the people in general are sympathetic to our cause. Bangladesh publicity material should be regularly supplied to officials and non-officials (list already supplied). Bangladesh leaders should occasionally address their counter- parts in Indonesia for support, sympathy and help. Though the Indonesian Govt. may not allow any Bangladesh representative to visit this country, our government should nevertheless constantly endeavor to send representatives here. Invitation may be extended to interested outstanding Indonesian leaders to visit liberated areas and refugee camps in India. (b) The Important role played by the Indonesian press in highlighting army atrocities, sufferings of the people and the refugees and in projecting Bangladesh issue should be suitably recognized by our Govt. Appreciation letters may occasionally be sent to the papers concerned. Extracts from editorials, articles and letters as published in the local press should be reproduced in the Bangladesh Publications and copies thereof supplied to the press here. This will encourage them. Whether they accept or not, leading journalists may be extended invitation to visit liberated areas and refugee camps. The purpose is to maintain constant contact with them. The press should be supplied regularly Bangladesh papers and publications. (c) The 'Amora Group' should be regularly supplied with sufficient number of copies of all publicity material as well as newspapers to arrange their local distribution on selective basis. The group depends very much on this supply as it is working secretly with insignificant resources against the organized efforts of the West Pakistanis. The group also needs advice, directive and some sort Of recognition to strengthen the team and intensify activities. More and more members are coming forward to assist the group. Efforts are being made to organise the secret group in a manner that its work does not suffer even if an individual member leaves the group or the station. It is felt that some sort of recognition will facilitate the task, even enable it to regain the services of Sufi who appears to have been working aimlessly and subjectively and making futile and duplicate efforts.
