709 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড You have given the assurance as the Governor to help rehabilitation of refugees and have claimed that minorities are good citizens. I am not sure about your authority and brief. I was told by Pakistanis that every Hindu was an enemy and they had caused all the trouble, they misled Bangalee Muslims. I took it as an insult on the intelligence of Bangali Muslims and you will notice that in my letter to Yahya I protested against such stupid insinuation. It looks that your speech is for international consumption and so any amount of untruth does not really matter. You are talking of arrangements with India for taking care of minority problem. May I remind you that you are for getting your history; you are talking of a situation when there were communal riots in both countries. This time it is not communal riots, it is deliberate policy of genocide by an organized government against Bengalis and specially Bangali Hindus. You have talked of the futility of terrorist movement. You are forgetting that this is not a terrorist movement, it is a war of liberation. In dealing with civilised Britain who were governed by a democratic parliament, you could rely on constitutional methods to gain your objectives. Even then you had non-cooperation, civil disobedience movement (Punjab & Assam 1946-47) and Direct Action. Today you are dealing with a dictatorial military regime, the tactics have to be different. You are dealing with uncivilized, uneducated and unpatriotic vested interests of West Pakistan. You have emphasised the food crisis but have followed the brief closely in maintaining that transportation and not food availability is the problem. When we were shouting about food crisis Yahya retorted sharply that godowns were bursting with stocks. But now it turns out that you cannot get as much food in the country as is required. You have spoken of plans to import 2.3 m tons. From my direct experience I can tell you that with the "goodwill" of the West Pakistan Government you will never reach a target anywhere near it. Do you know how much of 2.3 m tons planned for import last year was actually imported? It was only 1.1 m tons. You know better to be hoodwinked by your very dishonest masters who lack integrity in every respect. You have promised test relief works, financial help to returnees and reconstruction. Do you really believe you will have either the currency notes (printed money) or the real resources? The experience of last November is otherwise. Even resources transferred from abroad did not reach Bangladesh. The relationship of the two regions was founded so much on exploitation of Bangladesh that deceit, outright lies and crooked maneouvers really did not bother West Pakistan. Do you believe that your speech and decision to serve them will change all that? You are talking of a development programme of Rs. 279 million in Bangladesh. 1 am amazed that you should men tion it. Those who framed the budget, even they are under no illusion about this exercise in fantasy. Your dream of a united, powerful and proud Pakistan is so absurd and your wish on restoration of power to the people is so pretentious that I could not help touching on them too. Pakistani ruling junta is a horde of barbarians, they cannot put up a civilised image anymore. They are also not in a mood to return power to the people. Just read through Yahya's speech of June 28 and analyse his activities since then including his choice of stooges for Bangladesh.
