Of course, the humanitarian aspect of its service to the refugees can never be forgotten. Even now when the preliminary phase of the liberation war is over, the officers and the staffs of the mission, under the inspiring leadership of His Excellency Mr. Hossain Ali, are working round-the-clock. Their services are on records. All these commendable actions would rather not go unrewarded. It is heartening that the Bangladesh Government, in recognition of the singular contribution to the movement, has upgraded the status of the mission and designated H.E. Mr. Hossain Ali as the High Commissioner for Bangladesh Government in India. It is an honor which he has earned, it’s a reward which he deserved. According to knowledgeable circles, the High Commissioner treats the entire mission staff as "members of the same family". It, therefore automatically devolves on him to take care of the members of his "big family."

The story is too familiar, the world is aware of the massacre of an armed and defenseless people in Bangladesh. However, let me tell you that by resorting to the wholesale slaughter of the simple and God-fearing people of Bangladesh, the Junta of West Pakistan has in fact, set in motion a chain of events that has made the independence of Bangladesh not only an inevitability within a matter of time, but would also slowly but surely lead to the break-up of what is known today as West Pakistan. The military clique headed by Yahya Khan is already aware that it cannot hold captive, as it is trying desperately with the use of massive military fire-power and sophisticated weapons the entire population of Bangladesh much longer. The stand thoroughly condemned today in the eyes of the civilized world; their economy which flourished on the exploitation of the riches of Bangladesh cannot sustain the mad and senseless war of extermination that they have waged on us; politically the provinces of West Pakistan are already raising their voice against the prospect of a
