The Hon'ble Mr. Khwaja Nazimuddin: Sir, since this morning I have been in consultation with the Committee of Action which represent various organizations who have started this movement. As a result of our discussion certain agreements were arrived at and they were given permission to go to jail and see who were there. They came back and signed the agreement. I gave order for release of all people who have been in jails. They wanted me to withdraw all the police. I gave orders for the withdrawal of the police except in front of the Assembly and the Secretariat. I assured them and also gave orders that the police will be withdrawn. They should not come before the Assembly. They can go anywhere else they like provided they do not come before the Assembly. They can go to Ramna or any other place. I do not know what has happened. Why they are making demonstrations here? Here is a copy of the agreement. All the police have been withdrawn except in front of the Secretariat and the Assembly. I think the Committee of Action has been disowned, or what has happened I do not know. (Noise).

If you like 1 can read out the copy of the agreement.

"After discussion with the members of the Joint State Language Committee of Action it was agreed as follows:

 1. All those who have been arrested in connection with the Bengali language issue from the 29" February, 1948, will be released immediately.

 2. The Hon'ble the Prime Minister will enquire into the alleged excesses by the police and issue a statement within a month.

 3. In the first week of April, 1948 on a day reserved for the unofficial business of the East Bengal Legislative Assembly a special motion will be moved recommending that Bengali should also be one of the State languages and given the same status as Urdu in Pak Assembly and in Central Govt. examinations.

In today's party meeting this question will be discussed.

 4. An official resolution will be moved in the Assembly in April proposing that as soon as English is replaced it will be by Bengali as the official language of the province, and the medium of instruction will be in Bengali but in schools and colleges the mother tongue of the majority of the students will have preference.

 5. No victimization of anyone who has taken part in this movement.

 6. The ban on papers will be withdrawn.

 7. Wherever section 144 has been imposed in East Bengal in connection with the language question with effect from the 29" of February will be withdrawn.

 8. After discussion with the Committee of Action. I am satisfied that this movement was not inspired by the enemies of the State."
