ফজলুল হক লিয়াকত আলির নিকট লিখিত পত্রে যে দৃঢ় মনোভাব ব্যক্ত করেন তার কিছু অংশ এখানে উদ্ধৃত করা হলঃ “But before I conclude I wish to record a most emphatic protest against the manner in which the interests of the Moslems of Bengal and the Punjab arc being imperiled by Moslem leaders of the Provinces where the Moslems are in a minority popularly known among Moslems as the minority provinces of India. Except in Bengal and the Punjab which together account for nearly 50 millions of Moslems and nearly 50 percent of the total Moslem population of India, the remaining 50 millions of Moslems are scattered throughout the continent in such a manner that they are in a most hopeless minority in the so-called minority provinces, in some cases the Moslem minority dwindling to about 4 or 5 per cent of the population. It is evident that these Moslem brethren of ours can never hope to be in the enjoyment of even an effective voice in the administration, leave alone the prospect of their ever being in power. It is conceivable that they cannot realize, nor even imagine, the advantages of the Moslem community being in a dominant position in the administration of Bengal and the Punjab. Nor do they realize the responsibilities of the Moslem premiers of those provinces. Naturally enough they think that just as all their own political prospects are bleak and barren, even so is the case with the Moslems of Bengal and the Punjab. Naturally, enough they do not care for the repercussions on the politics of the Moslems of Bengal and the Punjab of any decision they may take with regard to Moslem India as a whole. I would ask the Moslem leaders of the minority provinces to remember that if they meddle too much with the politics of the majority provinces, they will do so at the peril of the interest of the entire Moslem community of India. For my part, I will never allow the interest of 33 millions of the Moslems of Bengal to be put under the domination of any outside authority however eminent it may be.
"At the present moment I have a feeling that Bengal does not count much in the counsels of political leaders outside our province, although we constitute more than 1/3 of the total Moslem population of India. Even in this controversy, the leaders of the minority provinces never cared to take into in consideration my particular responsibilities and difficulties and wanted to drown my voice with meaningless slogans which may suit their own conditions of political helplessness, but which are utterly unsuited to the conditions prevailing in my province. I was condemned before I could put before the President my point of view."
