449 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ পঞ্চম খন্ড A commentator of the Communist Party newspaper L Humanite said "It is of great significance not to lose sight of its root causes. En the course of over 8 months it has been not an Indo-Pakistan conflict but a war unleashed in Bangladesh by the Pakistani military authorities '. The Times of London writes on December 7 "India has now affirmed the political end of the war in Bangladesh in the hope that doing so the military end will be reached sooner. No room is left for compromise, no protest from any quarter, no ceasefire resolution at the United Nations or observers interjected between the combatants will alter India's resolves." The Daily Telegraph of London says "given India's policies and the stage which had been reached on the ground in Bangladesh the decision had indeed become logical." The Guardian writes "Bangladesh born on blood and desperation will not go away now. Even if the international efforts for peace succeed Mrs. Gandhi's recognition of a Awami League government will still stand backed by substantial territorial control". The Reuter reports "Radio Moscow today accused China of lack of sincerity in current moves in the United Nations to find a peaceful solution to the Indo-Pakistan conflict". It further said "China was colluding with the imperialists in betraying the national liberation movements". The New York Times of Dec. 7 accused President Nixon of supporting Pakistan under the guise of neutrality in the Indo-Pakistan conflict. In all editorial it says "everything failed to condemn the repression in Bangladesh or to press for a genuine political settlement. The United States has now flatly charged India with major responsible for the resulting international conflict having waited months to suspend arms aid to Pakistan. The administration has now promptly suspended military aid to India. This is hardly ‘absolute neutrality The editorial further says "the United States efforts at the United Nations first in the Security Council and now in the General Assembly have been aimed at bringing about a simple cease-fire and withdrawal of forces". Urgent and desirable as such action surely is, it cannot be practically effective unless the United Nations and its leading members specially the United States are prepared at the same time to recognize and attempt to deal with the root cause of the problem with Pakistan. With regard to President Nixon's last desperate bid to save his face by saying that America would remain absolutely neutral in the South Asia conflict, the editorial further said "President Nixon's declaration of absolute neutrality in Indo-Pakistani conflict fails to conceal administration policies, which have in fact, been obviously biased in favor of the government of President Yahya Khan in Islamabad."
