Z.A. BHUTTO S DECLARATION IN PESHAWAR. On February 15,1971. Mr. Z. A. Bhutto, Chairman of Pakistan People's Party, today declared that his party will not attend the National Assembly Session starting on March 3 at Dacca unless it was made clear to him and his party men that there would be some amount of reciprocity from the majority party, either publicly or privately. Addressing a crowded Press Conference he did not term his decision as boycott of the Assembly but said: "We can't go there only to endorse the constitution already prepared by a party and to return humiliated. If we are not heard and even reasonable proposals put by us are not considered, I don't see the purpose to go there". Mr. Bhutto said that his party had accepted the first and the last points of the Awami League's Six Points (they relate to the basis of representation and the existence of People's militia in the provinces), but he could neither accept a "twosubject Centre" nor the point relating to currency. "I am not without hope about foreign trade and taxation", he added. Mr. Bhutto said that his party had also accepted 10 out of the 11 points of the students. It could not accept the point which said that there should be a sub-federation in the West Wing. He, however, said, "I think we can work out something which will satisfy both of us. There is hope for understanding. But if we are asked to go to Dacca only to endorse the constitution which has already been prepared by Awami League and which is not to be altered an inch here and an inch there, then you will not find us in Dacca on March 2 when elections for women Seats are to be held". Mr. Bhutto said his party was of the opinion that the constitution based on the six points could not provide a "viable future for the country". Nevertheless Pakistan People's Party has tried to come as close to the Awami League points of view as possible, even up to the edge of precipice, where after there is destruction. He said he had taken the decision as a big responsibility in the interest of the nation. The country is passing through a very critical phase and we may go one way or the other.
