70 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বিতীয় খন্ড 21. It will be seen that the programme chalked out on 8-2-61, as mentioned in paragraph 8 above, did not include hoisting of black flags, taking out of procession, shouting of slogans and holding of meeting at Shaheed Minar. The slogans shouted this year were almost the same us those of the last year. A procession was also taken out last year. But it was confined between the graveyard and the Central Shaheed Minar. This year it was on a large scale and paraded even through the restricted road in front of the Secretariat. 22. The Public Prosecutor, Dacca was consulted by the Addl. Supdt. of Police, D.I.B., Dacca whether the procession and the meeting at the Central Shaheed Minar constituted a violation of M.L. Orders. A copy of the former's opinion is enclosed. This has not been found to be fully helpful. 23. The Govt. of East Pakistan in Memo. No. 11 (17)-Poll/S(I), dated 6th February 1961 had laid down the policy to be followed in respect of the Day'. Though no evidence has yet been found of active inspiration from the subversionists or from the politicians. 1 recommend that the names of the students who took a prominent pan in the procession and in the meeting held at the Central Shaheed Minar be brought to the notice of the Vice-Chancellor with a suggestion that he may administer a stern warning to them. Though, by and large, no outsiders were seen taking a leading part in the procession and at the meeting of the Central Shaheed Minar, we are further examining the reports. If any of them are found having taken an active part, they would be prosecuted according to law. Sd/ (A.M.A. KABIR) Deputy Inspector-General of Police, I.B. East Pakistan, Dacca. Opinion of the Public Prosecutor Discussed the matter with one of the officers of the D.I.B. Department and gone through a relevant paper. Shahid Day of 21 February was sponsored by a section of students under the patronage of some political parties for some ulterior motives. Political parties have already been banned by the present Govt. That the students who led the procession yesterday (21 February) I think had no connection with a political organisation. If the members of the procession had no ulterior motive for any political end and if it was their spontaneous expression of deep sympathy for the departed soul, in that case, it cannot be said that the procession was of political nature. But if they had some political end. in that case it is surely of political nature and fall under the purview of M.L.R. No. 55. A.
