Detained MLAs released on second day of UF office.
Cases of other detunes to come up today.
Only after 48 hours of assumption of his office as Chief Minister of East Bengal Mr. Abu Hussain Sarkar passed orders for immediate release of 4 political prisoners, all MLAs including two communists, of the eleven persons 7 are of the Gonotantri Dal, two communists, one of the Minority United Front and one Independent. Ten of them were arrested after the imposition of the section 92-A rule in East Bengal. Release orders have been passed for the following persons:
Pakistan Ganatantri Dal:
Mr. Mahmud Ali (Sylhet), Secretary.
Haji Md. Danesh (Dinajpur), President.
Khalifa Ahmed (Noakhali).

Dewan Mahboob Ali (Tippera), Joint Secretary.

Mr. Akhay Burman (Rangpur) and Mr. Purnendu Dastidar.
The other two M.L.As. are Mr. Phani Majumdar of the Minority United Front and Prasun Kumar Ray, Independent. Mr. Ray was arrested in 1954 and returned as an M.L.A. from Jail.
It will be recalled that Mr. Abu Hussain Sarkar gave a solemn pledge that his Ministry’s first task would be to release the security prisoners and one political detenue was released on June 7 last.
Cases of other politicians are understood to be taken up today.
P.O., June 11, 1955
500 detenues to be set free by June. Talk with Centre likely over complicated cases.
About 500 security prisoners who were arrested before and after the imposition of 92-A rule in East Bengal are to be released within this month it is reliably learnt. A majority of them may be set free within a week’s time. The government will consider the issue very seriously and cases of those prisoners against whom no specific charges have been brought will be taken up immediately. As regards others the Centre is likely to be consulted.
