459 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ পঞ্চম খন্ড million Bengalee lives and has rendered millions and millions rootless, homeless and jobless. The very suggestion of any such so-called understanding within the framework, of Pakistan should have appeared totally repugnant not only to the freedom loving Bengalees but also to the radical sympathizers around the world. But many a genuine well wisher of the people of Bangladesh kept asking for a handshake with the killers with the hope that this might bring to an end further massacres of innocent people. Luckily Yahya and this arrogant brutes cared little about world opinion. Yahya has certainly helped the liberation movement with his arrogant broadcast of June 28. That made the situation crystal clear. The only solution to the problem is a military rout of the invading army and the rout must be carried out by no foreign power but by the Bengalees themselves. What the sympathetic foreign governments can do now is to stop all aid to Pakistan and extend all moral and material support to Bangladesh. The world, particularly the people of Bangladesh were shocked to hear about the continued arms aid from USA to the killer junta. Many Bengalese thought this might help to defeat the Liberation Forces. One must not lose a second to point out that the arms are not going to make much of a difference to the victorious assaults of the Liberation army. As it is, Pakistan has enough arms in stock to run this war for another year. What do you think they were doing with the lion's share of national budget keeping the country underfed for last two decades? They were piling up arms. In addition, Chinese arms pipeline is always loaded. The American arms on top of this only shows Pak junta's nervousness. But they haven't enough of one thing that would not be, supplied either by China or by America and that is manpower willing to die seeking victory not for themselves but for the callous murderers. Pakistan's total number of men in arms would not exceed 250 thousand. Of this lot, the junta can deploy no more than 100,000 in to die in Bangladesh because the rest would be needed for the protection of West Pakistan borders. Of the 70,000 odd already sent to Bangladesh over 30,000 are either dead or badly wounded. The families of the casualties are not receiving even the insurance money that they are entitled to in the event of a war. The killer regime was clever enough not to declare its bloody adventure in the East as a war. This has caused so much unrest among the affected that processions demanding compensation from the bankrupt regime have started to come out in West Pakistan towns. This unrest has a built-in mechanism to grow and grow as casualties mount and mount in Bangladesh. On the other hand, Mukti Bahini has an unlimited source of manpower. Today the volunteers who have dedicated themselves to the Liberation struggle would number over 300,000. And the Mukti Bahini has only to give a call-there would be a million young fighters ready to die for their motherland. Thus, not only Pakistan cannot run this war long enough without destroying itself economically but militarily, too, it is doomed to defeat. There is only one way to hasten this inevitable conclusion and that is by providing the Mukti Bahini with heavier arms and aircraft. The People's Republic of Bangladesh must find these. These are not impossible to get.
