The Pakistan Government should renounce her obligations in regard to the cease-fire line and give a free hand to Kashmir’s in reorganizing themselves for launching a full-fledged Jehad.
(Sardar Abdul Qayyum Khan, reported in Dawn, Karachi, May 25, 1965.)
The fact that during the last seven years or so we have not been able to give the people even a simple election to choose a representative Government of their own is hardly a good testimony of our work. Key positions excepting in two departments are entirely manned by non-Kashmiris. It is no use glossing over the unpalatable fact that during our stay in Azad Kashmir we have made ourselves thoroughly unpopular.
(Civil and military Gazzette, Lahore, june 5, 1965.)
We will consider it a great fortune to receive Chinese support in meeting any Conspiracy of India.
(Azad, Dacca, June 6, 1965.)
Today there is disparity not only in the economic sphere, but also in the administrative services, in executive power and the legislative field, because any legislation is subject to the veto the President. There is great disparity in the defence services... The East Pakistanis are not anybody’s chicken-feed, and do not intend to be. Policy in many spheres is being laid down without the opinion an interests of this province being consciously and strongly kept in view.. All these would not have meant much if we had a genuine parliamentary democratic system where the responsibility for ultimate policy-making would be of a cabinet, responsible to a sovereign Parliament.
(Mr. Nurul Amin, in the East Pakistan Assembly, Pakistan Observer, Dacca, July 6, 1965.)
In the event of war with India, Pakistan troops would march up to Delhi, would occupy the Red Fort and hoist the Pakistan flag on it.
(Pakistan Times, Lahore, July 11, 1965, reporting the proceeding of the National Assembly.)
The exploitation of East Pakistan by West Pakistan can be Judged from the fact that one can see West Pakistan Officials in every village of East Pakistan.
(Mr. A.M. Kamaruzzaman speaking in the National Assembly Pakistan times, Lahore, july 20, 1965.)
India is trying to convince the world that the weapons used by the freedom fighters could have come only from Pakistan. It is foolish to believe that any popular resistance against alien rule can remain long without arms in the world of today.
(Pakistan Times, Lahore, Aug, 17, 1965.)
Kashmiri’s are not a party to the cease-fire agreement and it is within their right to cross the cease-fire line.
(Dawn. Karachi, Aug. 22, 1965.)
