489 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ষষ্ঠ খণ্ড শিরোনাম ংবাদপত্র তারিখ World Press Bangladesh 28 July, 1971 VO|. 1 : NO. 5 WORLD PRESS Press reports throughout the world continue to be full of condemnation against the Yahya regime and are highlighting the remarkable progress of the Mukit Bahani. U. A. R. Rose Al Youssef July 14, 1971. Closely following Al-Ahram editor Heikal's strong plea to the UAR speak out on what he described as the worst carnage in contemporary history. Another Cairo Journal “Rose Al Yousef" has warned that the tragedy caused by the civil war in East Bengal and the resultant influx of over six million refugees into India might turn the subcontinent into a new centre of world conflict. It said religion was the only link binding the Punjabis of West Pakistan and the Bengalis of East Bengal. U. K. Daily Telegraph July, 19, 1971. The situation has deteriorated during the past few weeks in Dacca, largely as a result of the improved organization and training of the urban group of Bangladesh guerillas. London The Sunday Times July 11, 1971. An article by Murray Sayle has thrown some fresh light on the activities and composition of the so-called Razakars that the Pakistan Army is relying on in Bangladesh to-day. These people (the Razakars) are, in fact, representatives of the political parties which were routed at the last elections, with an admixture of men with criminal records and bigoted Muslims............... I passed a bridge which had been blown up by the Mukti Fouj, the “Freedom Army.” Local people told me-I thought with some glee-that the bridge had been defended by 25 Razakars who had fled at the first burst of gunfire. Mr. Sayle describes the Razakars administration as a regime of paid informers, bigots and thugs answerable to no-one and apparently above whatever little law is left (in Bangladesh)”.
