Your Excellency, We have just learnt with deep shock of the deadly attack launched against your country by the military junta of Pakistan on the afternoon of the 3" of December. This latest manifestation of Yahya Khan’s reckless violation of covenants is the final proof of his determination to subject the countries of this sub-continent to tensions, destructions and socio-economic ferment, the people of Bangla Desh were conscious of the above inclinations of the Government of West Pakistan and they launched their struggle for freedom nearly nine months ago. We had sent communications to your Excellency on the 15" of October and 23" of November explaining the realities of the situation and our determination to fight the military junta of Pakistan till the complete defeat of the occupation forces is accomplished. The aggression committed by Yahya and his Generals on your country make it all the more necessary that the people of India and the people of Bangladesh stand shoulder ‘to repel the aggressors and fight for democracy and freedom and the values we cherish in common. Madame Prime Minister, we have the honour to inform you that in view of the direct aggression committed by Pakistan against your country on the 3" of December, the freedom forces of Bangla Desh are ready to fight the aggressive forces of Pakistan in Bangla Desh in any sector or in any front. Our joint stand against military machinations of Pakistan would be further facilitated, if we enter into formal diplomatic relations with each other. May we, therefore, repeat our request to Your Excellency that the Government of India accord immediate recognition to our country and our Government. We should like to take this opportunity to assure Your Excellency that the Government and the people of Bangla Desh stand solidly with you n this hour of peril and danger to both countries. It is our earnest hope that our Joint resistance to the nefarious plans and intentions of President Yahya Khan will be brought to a successful conclusion. We assure Your Excellency of our Government’s full support in your just struggle against the aggressor. Renewing Your Excellency the assurances of our highest esteem. December 4, 1971.
