614 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড We are now engage in grim struggle to thwart the invading army of Yahya Khan. (Clapping.....Joy Bangla). In that grief.......... (Mike failed) grim struggle, we expect the support and sympathy of the peoples of the world. The agony in one part of the world must reach the peoples of all other parts. And we are particularly grateful to the British nation, to the British Press, Radio and Television for their profound sympathy with us at this hour of our peril. (Clapping........... ) We have only one part of the work today that is to thwart this invading army of Yahya Khan. (Clapping...... ) and to make the lives of the people of the seventyfive million Bengalees free from their attack, free from their rape- (Slogan....... Joy Bangla....... ) you are aware that their troops burning the villages, committing rapes, killing children, and the genocide is going on. Will not the conscience of the world rise even at this! (appeal to the people and its governments of the world to condemn in most unmistakable term that the Yahya Khan's administration. I appeal to the governments of the world that no economic aid should be given to the government of West Pakistan. (Clapping..... ) You must all realize that there is no government of Pakistan to whom you can give aid. Yahya Khan himself has killed Pakistan. What exists today is only the government of West Pakistan. (Shame ! Shame !) And that government should not be given any economic aid to kill the unarmed population of Bangladesh. That is my one prayer to the government of the world. No arms supply should be given to kill the children, men and women of Bangladesh-who are determined to achieve independence and thwart the invading army. They rely on their own strength but at the same time they appeal to the people and to the government of the world that no aid should be given nor arms supply should be made available to Yahya Khan for killing the unarmed population of Bangladesh. Now, ladies and gentlemen, another false propaganda is being carried that the people of Bangladesh do not want independence. My fellow citizens of Bangladesh, I will request you, those of you who are determined to thwart the invading army and those of you who want independence of Bangladesh to raise your hands in support of the demands of Bangladesh. (Slogan: Joy Bangla ............................................................) It is known to everybody that England is a land of freethinking and free expression. It is therefore, clear to everybody that you have raised your hands willingly and nobody could compel you to raise your hand. You are the representative of Bangladesh abroad. Each one of you is a representative. And to your Bangladesh has made it known that the demand for independence is a demand of the seventy-five million people of Bangladesh (Clapping). It is not this demand of the miscreants as Yahya Khan uses to call the people of Bangladesh. We arc, ladies and gentlemen, determined to face the invading army. We are determined to establish the rule of law in Bangladesh. And in that struggle we want the support, sympathy and cooperation of all concerned. Now, my fellow citizens of Bangladesh, I have a special direction to communicate to you in the name of the Government of Bangladesh. (Joy Bangla ...)
