516 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ষষ্ঠ খণ্ড শিরোনাম ংবাদপত্র তারিখ Bangladesh No To Bangladesh 8 December, 1971 UN Observers Idea Vol. 1: No. 24 BANGLADESH NO TO UN OBSERVERS IDEA The idea of posting U. N. observers on the Bangladesh side of the IndoBangladesh Border was condemned and looked down upon with contempt by the Government of Bangladesh. The same idea was rejected outright by the Government as early as 22"July, 1971. The Prime Minister Mr. Tajuddin Ahmed termed it as a planned conspiracy and a full attempt to protect the military regime of Yahya Khan from the back door. Mr. Tajuddin Ahmed said that the sponsors of the proposal would be wholely responsible for the fate of anybody who would try to come to Bangladesh as observers at the “peak period of our victory”. Mr. Ahmed said that those who remained as silent spectators at the time of an unprecedented genocide in Bangladesh by Yahya's invading troops, had now come out to save the army junta in the name of sending UN observers. “We will not tolerate any interference on any pretext in this final stage of our struggle of liberation against the colonial rule,” he, added. Khandaker Moshtaque Ahmed, the Foreign Minister of Bangladesh condemned the latest initiative to post U. N. observers in Bangladesh. He said, UN observers of any description in Bangladesh will be regarded as messengers and protectors of imperialist and colonial interests. In a statement released on December 2, in Mujibnagar the Foreign Minister expressed his firm faith in people's struggle and said, if people's struggle has ever won anywhere in the world it will win once again in Bangladesh. He called up on the friends of Pakistan to accept total independence and sovereignty of Bangladesh instead of attempting to under-mine the inherent strength of vast multitude of the people of Bangladesh. Not only have we an utter contempt for the so-called bound-to-be abortive “peace making attempts” to subjugate 75 million people of Bangladesh but also we want to warn that any unwelcome guest, whoever he might be, coming on behalf of and for Yahya Khan, will be replied to in Bangladesh in the same way as Yahya's occupation army is being replied to by our valiant members of the Mukti Bahini.....
