425 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড developing countries. What is happening in Bangladesh today is the worst from of colonialism and imperialism. Looting, arson, gangsterism, mass killings and molestation of women are the order of the day. We rely on the people of the U. S. S. R. to raise their voice against these barbarities and the suppression of human rights.

V PRESIDENT POMPIDOU, PARIS, FRANCE On behalf of the 75 million people of Bangladesh may I appeal to you to raise your voice against the barbarous atrocities being committed by West Pakistani soldiers under the direction of dictator General Yahya Khan and with the help of modern weapons of War supplied to him by your government and other governments?
