|8 | বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ তৃতীয় পত্র শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ উপজাতীয় কর্মচারীদের নিয়োগ সম্পর্কে বাংলাদেশ সরকার ২৩ অক্টোবর, ১৯৭১ চিঠি SECRET. OCTOBER 23, 1971. A number of my tribal officers and staff crossed the border with me in the months of April /May, 1971. Since then we have been able to utilise the services of only very few of them. There are quite a few available now whose services can be very well utilised in our war effort. I have always maintained that no move toward Chittagong is possible without the assistance and co-operation of the tribal people of Chittagong Hill Tracts district. Special efforts should, therefore, be made to will the friendship of as many hill people as possible and neutralise those who are hostile. Given this background, I very strongly feel that we should direct our propaganda towards the Hill tribes also. I came to know the other day that the Ministry of Defence was looking for persons who write scripts in Chakma language. I do not know whether this is in pursuance of the policy recommended by me above. In any case, I would like to emphasise that there are a number of tribal officers and staff who served under me and who can be utilised for this type of work. In case the Secretary, Defence, wants their services, they can be engaged. (H. T. Imam) Cabinet Secretary. 23. 10.71. M. O. No... DEFENCE SECRETARY,
