781 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড community in sending the refugees back. They will not want to go back unless their security can be guaranteed-unless they can be protected from the atrocities of the Pakistani army. The approach to the world community has to be a positive one. We can certainly ask for more funds. But the response to the appeal of the U.N. Secretary General has been disappointing. May be, we shall get some more money. But that will not solve the problem. Pakistan must be made responsible by United Nations to reimburse us in full the expenditure we incur on the refugees. The international community must assume the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the refugees. Refugee camps should be established in East Bengal under U.N. supervision to house the refugees now in India, and others that may come later, till a settlement is reached to establish Bangladesh on any basis freely acceptable to the people of East Bengal. The military junta of Pakistan is desperately trying to cover up its ignominious action by creating an impression of Indo-Pakistan issue or even conflict. We must not allow this to happen. The matter has to be settled between the military Government of Pakistan and the Government of Bangladesh with international good offices as necessary. We must, therefore, give every support to the Government of Bangladesh. There is equally a danger of Pakistan fanning communal feelings. This must be firmly resisted. That is why the refugees must be sent quickly to camps to be established by U.N. in East Bengal. Pakistan's diplomacy has succeeded so far in preventing intervention by India; they have successfully kept up China as a counterpoise and they have maneuvered to keep the United Nations and the big powers out. We need to take a vigorous international initiative to demolish the house of lies built by Pakistan, and simultaneously present specific proposals for international action. We must get the world involved in Bangladesh quickly. No matter how long it takes-whether a couple of weeks, a couple of months or a couple of years, the people of Pakistan are bound to wrest their freedom from military domination and the people of Bangladesh are bound to win their independence or make any other arrangement they choose. We must wish them every success. - (INFA).
