499 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ পঞ্চম খন্ড radios cry hoarse over imaginary involvement of Indian troops. Of course, this has been the stupid official line right from the start. They always found great pleasure in terming the freedom fighters as Indian infiltrators. The silly stand made them world's laughing stock. But, then, shame or international humiliation means little to the arrogant buffaloes with brains about the size of peanuts. Even though the impartial journalists would not corroborate Islamabad's fiction about Indian tanks rolling towards Jessore, it matters little to the frightened generals. They have already declared emergency and are going frantically through the motions of precipitating a war with India hoping against hope that someone will come to their rescue in Bangladesh. Yet even a child knows that Islamabad is hardly likely to declare war against India because that would simply mean shedding of Pakistani blood on Pakistani soil. Until now the killer junta has been, by and large, successful in deceiving the entire Pakistani population with shocking lies about the Bangladesh massacre and the crisis that was precipitated by nobody else but the junta members almost out of the blue. The tons of thousands of dead bodies of Pakistani Soldiers are either buried or burnt out with petrol in Bangladesh. And nothing about the inglorious end is disclosed to dead soldiers' relations. But when Indian tanks and planes actually start hitting the cities of Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi-blood will flow-Pakistani blood for a change-and the whole game will be over for the junta. It is already worse than worst in Bangladesh. Troubles in Pakistan would virtually mean the capitulation of the killer junta. Thus, this war-dance and jingoism are perhaps put up shows, more exercises in political and military impotency. Whatever the killer junta does-it will never shift the theatre of conflict from Bangladesh to Pakistan. So far as they are concerned-if more blood is to flow let it be Bengali blood. But, the fun is that, they are doomed to defeat in Bangladesh as well-and in the hands of the Mukti Bahini. And a lot sooner than many observers would concede or would want to believe. India has nothing to gain by going to war. In fact, she has everything to gain by not going to war. Why should she fight a war when the Mukti Bahini is capable of guaranteeing the return of all Bangladesh refugees to their homes-refugees who have been India's primary concern? If Pakistani planes are shot down it is only to show to Islamabad killers that India was no longer prepared to tolerate any more violation of her territorial integrity whether on land, sea or air. Whatever may the transmitters of Islamabad liars have to say about to war, one thing is certain the Mukti Bahini is poised for final victory. Our countrymen particularly those who are captives in the occupied areas of Bangladesh-you can now wait for the new dawn. The darkness of the ghastly night of horror is clearing fast. Until your liberators reach yon-fight and stay alive. The citizens of Dacca, Chittagong and Comilla and other towns in particular must remain extra alert. While the entire western sector is being liberated fast, special divisions and battalions are moving steadily toward the capital and port cities. Civilians must try and stay away from the confrontation zones.
