বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ বাংলাদেশ পরিস্থিতি সম্পকে বৃটিশ পত্রিকার প্রচারপত্র ৬ মে, ১৯৭১ ভুল প্রতিবেদনের পরিপ্রেক্ষিতে বাংলাদেশ এ্যাসোসিয়েশন, স্কটল্যান্ডের বক্তব্য PRESS CONSPIRACY AIDS YAHYA KHAN THE SUNDAY TIMES last weekend carried an astonishing report from Pakistan. It revealed details of a hitherto unreported mutiny in the West Pakistan Army during the recent battles. The report said; "Ten days of piecing together the details in East Pakistan have revealed a huge and almost successful mutiny in the Pakistan Army and the brutal massacre of thousands of non-Bengali men, women and children'. (Our emphasis) It was the Pakistan Army's quick reflexes, tighter discipline and better leadership which saved it from the mutineers on that bloody Thursday and Friday I An interesting story, But the reports of massacres on non-Bengalis in Bangladesh arc wholly inaccurate. The author of this report is Anthony Mascarenhas, news editor of the Karachi 'Morning News', the pro-government newspaper which actually receives subsidies from the government. The 'Sunday Times' carefully avoided mentioning this thus giving the impression that the report was entirely unbiased and objective. But while the 'Sunday Times' was busy publishing propaganda from the Pakistan Government, it was giving a frosty reception to Mr. Bruce Douglas-Mann, the new labor MP for N. Paddington. He has just returned from an on-the-spot tour of Bangladesh and offered an article on the situation to the ' Sunday Times". Lord Thomson's men declined the article. On May 14 Mr. Douglas-Mann's emergency motion on the Bangladesh struggle will be debated in the Commons. It is hoped that he takes the opportunity to reveal the press conspiracy in this country to hide the facts of the situation. WORKERS PRESS. Thursday, May 6, 1971.
