906 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ তৃতীয় পত্র would bring down the wrath of the army, Mujib desperately sougth to compromise that would give Bengal the autonomy his people demanded while preserving at least a semblance of Pakistani National Unity as the army demanded. Mujib was the last hope that Pakistan's two distant and disparate wings might achieve some kind of accommodation. What finally undid Mujib's efforts was the supercilious attitude of the West Pakistanis especially the Punjabi who dominate the army and who have been nurtured on impassioned patriotism and cliches about the inferiority of the Bengalis". The die is cast now. The notions of Unity is reduced to a mere fiction. Yahia has successfully killed Pakistan. The Bengalis are merely carrying the costly coffin to its infamous grave. Bangladesh has come to stay-with all the moral and legal right to be heard, appreciated and recognized by the world. The expectancy of Permanance of the new Government of Bangladesh is guaranteed by the will of its people and good will of the free world. If the conscience of the world is not dead, Bangladesh will lean heavily upon it, and demand of it to reassert its will. If News medias are any index of the public opinion of the world let me quote the observation by a renowned Editor. The Sunday Telegraph (March 28, 1971) writes in its editorial "The Victims": "It is hard for the Western mind to absorb the full dreadfulness of the Civil War in East Pakistan-once again it seems that the full fury of the latter part of the 20th Century has fallen upon one of the poorest and vulnerable of peoples—the country which was conjured into being by an exercise in Political adroitness in 1947 is falling apart amid carnage. Whatever happens the old Pakistan is dead. The rulers are trying to deny the fact by arms but the attempt cannot be other than tragic folly". The Daily Telegraph said on March 29, 71 that all the bayonets from Punjab cannot shove back into the bottle the Genie of Bengali Nationalism. The New York times recorded its reaction on March 28th, 1971 saying "Even if West Pakistan troops succeeded in imposing a semblance of Central rule over the nation, the violence that is now sweeping the East Pakistan and the sustained repression that would be required to bend the Bengalis to the Islamabad will would add a, barrier of hate to the differences of race, language, customs-and Geography," Some International Jurists, may attempt to argue that Recognition to Bangladesh will be a 'precipitate recognition' under the International law. But I would like to repel such arguments by pointing out, that the recognition of the United States itself by France in 1778 was precipitate. The United States accorded premature recognition in 1903 to Panama when it seceded from Columbia. America not only recognized but fought in aid of Panama so as to liberate it from Columbia.
