৫২৫ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড Catholic University Faculty (Mons) of Belgium, Dr. Nihar Sarkar of Bangkok, Mr. Rick Rodgers, Prof. Edgar Lederer of France and Sri Jaiprakash Narayan. We need even now a continuous flow of funds from national and international sources in order to help the Bangladesh Government to tackle the tremendous task of reconstructing the new socialist democracy. Foreign Tour One of our emissaries, Sri P. N. Ray, has just returned after his long tour of Europe and U.S. A. His detailed report is still awaited. Bombay Unit of the Samiti The Bombay Unit of Calcutta University Bangladesh Sahayak Samiti is organizing three cultural shows at Bombay from February 12. The Santiniketan Ashramik Sangha, Calcutta Center is going to Bombay to stage the shows. A small team of the Samiti will also proceed to Bombay to help the organizers in Maharashtra. Surrender of Pak Armed Forces to the Combined Forces of Indian Army and Mukti Bahini With the complete liberation of Bangladesh some revealing facts about the killing of intellectuals of Bangladesh have been unearthed. This has put heavier responsibility on this Samiti. Incidentally, it can humbly be submitted that our Samiti has earned the confidence of people and leaders of Bangladesh. For this reason requests for additional help for the helpless people of the liberated areas started pouring in. Teams of the Samiti composed of Dr. D.Lahiri, Sm. Mrinmoyee Bose, Prof. A. Chaudhuri, Sri J. Chattopadhyay, Sri Manas Haldar, Sri Anit Bose and the undersigned along with some friends of the Bngladesh Sikshak Samiti composed of Dr.A.K. Ray, Janab Anwaruzzaman, Sri Nitya Gopal Saha, Dr. Anisuzzaman and many others visited the districts of Jessore, Kushtia and Khulna. In these districts we have distributed medicines, blankets, baby food and even occasional financial assistance. We have supplied the up-hostelries for the hurriedly rebuilt circuit house of Kustia. Mr. N. B. Mukherjee has borne the entire expenditure on our behalf. We have contributed financial donations to the Sahid Fund opened in several districts inside Bangladesh. Our representatives collected the first list of the intellectuals through Janab Safiuddin (Babu) Sarwar of Bangladesh killed by the Pak Army just before surrender and we could release the same to the Press here. One of our representatives Prof. V. K. Shastri was sent to Dacca and on his return he has submitted a valuable report to the Samiti about his experience. Seminar on Bangladesh The National Seminar on Bangladesh which was to be held in Calcutta from December 21 had to be postponed due to emergency. We now propose to hold the Seminar from April 14, 1972. It is expected that Professor D. S. Kothari, Chairman, University Grants Commission will inaugurate the seminar and some reputed teachers and intellectuals from Bangladesh will participate along with Indian scholars. Dr. A. R. Mallick, Vice-Chancellor, Chittagong University has already accepted our invitation formally.
