LOS ANGELES-90024 April 27, 1971 Dear Mr. Senator, We are speechless and dumbfounded at this hour of peril when the Pakistani military is pursuing a systematic plan of annihiliating all local leadership from Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) and is perpetrating gruesome actrocities on the defenseless people of my country. My brothers and sisters have been subjected to savage butchery committed by the bloodthirsty West Pakistani Millitary and all voices of protest inside Bangladesh have been stifled. It is very shocking that no one in the U. S. Government has raised any voice of protest against the massacres nor has anyone condemned the brutal killings of innocent civilians including professors, engineers, doctors, lawyers, political leaders and students, by the Pakistani Millitary with arms supplied by your country. What a pity! President Nixon found Charles Manson guilty of murders, but he carefully preferred not to hear evil, see evil and speak evil as regards the happenings in Bangladesh. America's silence has become shameful now! Please raise your voice to protest against the Pakistani Military's arrogance of power so that many lives may be saved in Bangladesh. If we cannot have a government of the people, for the people and by the people, must we then believe that political power can be achieved only through the barrels of guns? There is no denying that we will ... in freedom. Bangladesh has come to be a reality. If the report of Red China's ultimate objective to wipe out all the moderate forces in favour of the extreme elements in Bangladesh is true (Vide Los Angeles Times; Thursday, April 22, 1971), then the United States will have to be the real loser in the long run. But at the same time we want to make it absolutely clear to you that we do not want your military involvement or intervention. Please, Mr. Senator, we implore you to exert your influences to stop all aid to Pakistan-both military and economic. We in Bangladesh may have to starve but we will achieve freedom. Please also see that no educational scholarships and grants under U. S.
