527 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ষষ্ঠ খণ্ড alternative. Today each one of us is a freedom fighter. Our hearts are ignited with the flame of freedom. We have undergone utmost sacrifices during the two and a half months' war with the savages. And we are prepared for ಗ್ಲ! sacrifices to vindicate out freedom. Bangladesh declared its independence on the 26" March. We must keep the flag of freedom aloft. The spirit of freedom shall ever remain alive. The flat of freedom born with stains of martyrs blood will never die. We are fighting our battle with courage, determination and fortitude. Our men on the front, Muktibahini, have already proved their exceptional velour. Imbibed with the spirit of defending the honor and dignity of the motherland, the Muktibahini have already shattered the phoney myth of enemy's superiority. We have sufficient fighting manpower. What we need now is arms assistance. This is imperative to contain the diabolical enemy equipped with latest war-machines. Only then, the Pakistani marauders will realize what people they have taken on. Only then the enemy will be forced to call it a day and withdraw and run for their safety to the hilly tracts and never-ending deserts of West Pakistan. Let riverine Bangladesh prove the Waterloo of Yahya Khan. We want food to feed hungry millions in Bangladesh. The granary and the food, stocks have either been burnt or looted by Yahya's hordes in pursuance with the scorched-earth policy. Already famine condition exists in the areas under occupation army. Moreover, over eight millions are suffering privations in the refugee camps in five Indian states. These unfortune millions too are in desperate need of food and medicine. The lives of these people must be saved. The whole world has a responsibility towards these unfortunate victims of the war of attrition. We appeal to world nations to come forward to reader succour to the distressed humanity. Furthermore, we want recognition of Bangladesh Government, which is the rightful claimant to administer Bangladesh. In fact, Sheikh Mujib was in effective control of the Government in Bangladesh from March 1" to 25". Independent Bangladesh was declared as of 26" March. West Pakistani usurpers are holding on to certain pockets merely by use of brute force. They have no effective control on any city or town of Bangladesh. Even the provincial metropolis, Dacca city, itself is controlled by Mukti Bahini. If recognition is dependent upon effective control of territory. West Pakistani usurpers have forfeited their right to represent Bangladesh. It can be asserted without fear of contradiction that Sheikh Mujib's Govt. alone enjoys the confidence of the 75 million pee of Bangladesh. His people owe allegiance to him alone. The occupation forces would better recognize the hard fact. These are facts which are aboveboard. The last election result lends further credence to this glaring truth. The freedom loving nation of the world have by now ascertained the real state of affairs prevailing in Bangladesh. Everybody knows which way the wind is blowing. A newborn nation which has proved its mettle and viability to survive the onslaughts of the occupation forces deserves to be recognized by its own merit. It is a just cause. Its seeds are deeply rooted in the soil of Bangladesh. So recognition of Bangladesh means acceptance of the inevitable.
