Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khandaker Moshtaque Ahmed termed the appointment of Dr. Malik as the Governor of occupied territory of Bangladesh as an acceptance of defeat. In a statement he said, the reported appointment of Dr A. M. Malik, aquisling trade-unionist, as the Governor of the occupied part of Bangladesh is the acceptance of defeat by the so-called military junta of Islamabad. It is evident that Tikka Khan’s awful majesty of ruthless killing, looting, burning and raping have been turned into ignominious nullity on the soil of Bangladesh. The killed has fallen. His chivalrous glory is crumbled into pieces. He is to get out as a disgraced man with head low and vanity lower. There is a clear message in this for General Yahya Khan also. The Pakistani junta calls this an attempt of restoration of civilian rule. It is significant to note that the killers of Islamabad has gone for the “restoration of civilian rule” only in the colony and not at home i.e., West Pakistan. Therefore, the measure, besides everything else, is an expression of colonial rule completely different from home rule. Restoration of civilian rule was an issue before 25" of March 1971. People almost unanimously voted for Awami League to rule the country. Restoration of civilian rule at that time meant restoration of state power to the elected representatives and not anyone without such mandate. The appointment of Mr. Malik, is yet another attempt to throw a handful of dust is the eyes of the world to create cloud and confusion. People of Bangladesh know the designs behind this sort of restoration of civil administration. They witnessed 2 these same “restoration' once after Ayub staged coup in 1958, again after Yahya ascended the throne of Pakistan in 1969. When colonial rule by a military governor becomes pungent stinky and embarrassing the military rulers go for transplanting a civilian quisling as the ‘Subedar of Bangladesh. This time also the military colonialists have exercised their ground rule of colonial administration. This known game is not going to pay any dividend this time in an attempt to convince the foreign powers to give aid and assistance. Dr. A.M Malik is an old man. He has a dubious past and no future. He has underwritten hither to unheard of crimes committed by his masters on the soil of Bangladesh beyond tolerance. He is incapable of reading the writings on the wall because he is suffering from senile degeneration. We can only pity him.
