EAST PAKISTAN
My dear Kabir,
The list of persons vetted for action under the E.B.D.O. in the recent conference at Karachi under the Chairmanship of the Minister of the Interior has been forwarded to you under my Top Secret No.3 A.B. (E)/(3), dated 4-9-59. Some of these persons on the list may stand automatically disqualified under Article 5 of the E.B.D.O. I would request you kindly to have their records carefully scrutinized if any of them stand disqualified.
2. It was decided that action under the E.B.D.O. will proceed against the “big fries" having substantial materials of misconduct against them, and who are likely to be “big enough nuisance" in the political life of the province. Our delegation to the conference has pointed out that the list submitted by us was not exhaustive; it contained the names of those persons against whom materials were readily available. We shall, therefore, have to prepare a list of other important persons against whom there are good instances of misconduct. This may be taken up after materials against the vetted persons have been processed and submitted to the referring authority.
3.1 shall be grateful if full materials as available in your office be carefully processed in the form of Memo of Evidence, for the purpose of prosecution against the vetted persons and passed on to me for submission to the Referring Authority constituted under Article No.6 of the E.B.D.O. which consists of the G.O.C., Chief Secretary and the Home Secretary.
4. Two Tribunals headed by High Court Judges are going to be set up for hearing and disposal of cases of this province. Advantages are likely to be taken of the Iligh Court vacation. As such, we are to get ready with materials of some cases at least, for submission to the Referring Authority immediately.
5. The following persons of East Pakistan will be dealt with by the Tribunal to be established by the Central Government. Materials against them will be processed and submitted by the S.P.E. If you have got any materials against them, kindly pass them on to the Inspector-General of Police, S.P.E., and Karachi:
- (1) Abdul Aleem,
- (2) Abdul Wahab Khan,
- (3) Deldar Ahmed,
- (4) Fozlur Rahman, and
- (5) H.S. Suhrawardy.
