Radio Pakistan says that the fighting has ceased and that Indian forces have entered the capital, Dacca. The Pakistanis said that this came about after an arrangement made between the local Pakistan and Indian army commanders. In Parliament in Delhi the Indian Prime Minister, Mrs. Gandhi, said that representatives of the two sides had signed a surrender agreement in Dacca. Mrs. Gandhi said the agreement was unconditional on the Pakistani side. She said that India hoped that the East Pakistani leader. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman-who has been held in West Pakistan would take his place among his own people and lead Bangladesh to peace. Indian forces (Mrs Gandhi said) would not remain in East Pakistan any longer than necessary. And she added that the millions of refugees had already begun to trek homewards.
