853 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ তৃতীয় পত্র শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ জনাব মওদুদ আহমেদ (বিহির্বিশ্ব প্রচার বিভাগ) পররাষ্ট্র মন্ত্রণালয় ১২ নভেম্বর, কর্তৃক প্রধানমন্ত্রীকে লিখিত চিঠি Ֆի, Գծ Mr. Prime Minister, 1 write this note to you today out of a despondent mood which has been clouding my thoughts for last several weeks. After more than 7 months of my efforts to help the Bangladesh cause it may perhaps appear to be odd to address you. But my sense of duty dictates me to inform you that I have been psychologically persecuted without any reason whatsoever. For your record and necessary action I put down very briefly the facts as follows: (1) left Dacca towards the end of March and after spending about 3 weeks on the eastern side came down to Calcutta on April 19, 1971. It was my commitment to the cause of an Independent Bangladesh rather than the fear of Pakistani army that brought me down here. You, your colleagues and the Awami League party arc aware of the humble contribution I made during the trial of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the Agartala conspiracy case and during the time of Round Table Conference of 1969 and thereafter.

(3)On many occasions I submitted different schemes and plans to develop our Foreign Office and the External Publicity Machinery to strengthen our diplomatic efforts abroad. My personal contact and friendship with a good many international Journalists paid a very rich dividend for our cause. Whenever I have spoken I tried my best to vindicate our cause and the importance of our leadership with a background to the role of Awami League and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. (4) After Mr. Alam took over as the Foreign Secretary I also tried to be cooperative as much as possible and rendered all possible assistance to him and to all others working in the Mission. I have also always extended my fullest assistance to Mr. Hossain Ali on different matters whenever it was demanded of me. Many things I have done going out of my own way only to strengthen our cause and there are countless small things which I have done in the Mission. On my submission the concept of which I developed and now it is working reasonably well. An English Bulletin called 'Bangladesh' is also coming out regularly every week from this Division. I submitted a comprehensive scheme for this Division in order to make it more effective to achieve our ultimate objective. (5) During all this time not even for a moment it occurred to me that my contribution was not necessary or for that matter to work for the cause of Bangladesh I needed any
