Bhutto Responsible for Spilling Bengalese's Blood
Events following the unanimous verdict of 75 million people of Bangladesh to mould their life on the basis of the Six-Point Programme of the Awami League, given at the general election in December, 1970, have clearly shown which way the wind is blowing in Larkana and Islamabad. That the same old conspiracy for sucking the blood of Bengalees and Bengal's resources, if necessary, at gun-point, has been active with pro- Ayub bureaucrats hovering round Bhutto, is as clear as day-light. Indeed, President's pilgrimage to Larkana shortly after the elections, and the feudal lord of Larkana hosting him, did create distinct hopes in many and genuine suspicion in others regarding his mission. The hope was that President Yahya would be able to soften the “Spoilt child” of dictator Ayub and make him accept the situation as it obtained in the country after the election which apparently, upset west Pakistan's strategy, in the matter of the Six-Point formula. It will be honest to admit that the elections was fought by the Pakistan People's Party, led by Bhutto and other Political Parties, both in East and West Pakistan, with full knowledge that Shiekh had declared it a referendum on Six-Points. There was no protest from any quarters at the time, and elections were held smoothly all over the country, which was a rare example in Indo-Pak Sub-Continent. But, we find that after the elections not only a hue and cry has been raised against the Six Points in West Pakistan by PPP only, but the People in Bangladesh were put to severest test also, and the province was bleed. What a shame! What a betrayal!
All this happened because the President had suddenly decided to cancel the announced date for the National Assembly Session of March 3, obviously, on the advice of blood-sucker vested interests. Thus the solemn promises, the reassuring pledges given to the people by the head of State since 1969 were found to be lacking in sanctity. This was, evidently, due to President's anxiety to satisfy the minority groups CLIQUE spear- headed by the opportunist of Larkana. Indeed, according to Bhutto's own admission, he can be Anglo-Saxon when he wants to a revolutionist, when he finds a good opportunity for it, and certainly the history of Ayub's rule has proved that he can play the stooge of the dictator when it suits him. That a person with such a background can change color the way a Chameleon does, is nothing surprising. He is essentially a feudal lord but going about in Socialists' grab.
The cancellation of the earlier announced date of the National Assembly Session without taking into confidence the majority Party leader, is the worst type of .dictatorship, enforced from a distance of 1200 miles sitting safely behind the barracks. A soldier, if he is brave and true to his salt, does not sit in the fence. He faces the reality with honesty of purpose. Bangladesh, if must be admitted, has been set on fire by what appeared to be master stroke of canceling the National Assembly Session on March 3, and the
