Տo Գ বাংরাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বাদশ খন্ড understanding for the economic and other burdens and the danger to India. But Government secured morally and politically paralyzed. Belated efforts to persuade the Islamabad regime to take some step which would lead to a lasting solution fell on deaf Շ:1TՏ. The wrath of the West Pakistan Army has been aroused because the people of Bangladesh have stood and struggled for values which the Army is unable to comprehend and which it has suppressed in every province of Pakistan. As the Mukti Bahini’s effectiveness increased the West Pakistan Army became more desperate. Our tradition is to stand not with tyrants, but with the oppressed and so the anger has been turned upon us. West Pakistan has escalated and enlarged the aggression against Bangla Desh into full war against India. War needs as much patience and self-restraint as does peace. Military regime of West Pakistan will go all out to sow suspicion and rumour in the hope of fomenting communal tension and internal trouble. Let us not be taken in by their designs. We must maintain unity and a sense of high purpose. We should be prepared for a long struggle. High production, agricultural and industrial is the foundation upon which defence rests. The courage and fighting capability of the jawans have to be backed by the dedication of the farmer, the worker, the technician and the trader. The business community has a special responsibility to resist the temptation to heard or to charge higher profit. Artists and writers, teachers and students—the nation looks to them to defend our ideals and to keep high our morale. To the women of our country I make special appeal to save every possible grain and rupee and to avoid waste. The sacrifice of each of us will build the nation’s strength and enduring power. We have stood for peace, but peace itself has to be defended. Today we are fighting to safeguard our territorial integration and national honour. Above all, we are fighting for the ideals we cherish and the cause of peace. 11.06 hrs. RESOLUTION RE.
