175 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্র : সপ্তম খণ্ড country which would divert the Nation from these aims cannot be patriotic. "I would appeal to my Nation, particularly to the national press and political leaders to desist from casing or giving ear to speculation and rumours which, if not curbed, can only seriously hamper the process that I have spelt out earlier and would only gladden the hearts of our enemies. "Let the Nation stand up as one man and march ahead towards the achievements of our goal. Let us show to the world what stuff we Pakistanis are made of. I have no doubt in my mind that the people of Pakistan whose patriotic fervor is un-matched, whose hearts are pulsating with the love of the Holy Prophet (May peace b upon him) and whose greatest strength is that of their Iman and who rely on the help of Allah will rise to the occasion and meet any challenge from any direction. "In the end, I would again like to impress you that there is no cause for undue alarm but there certainly is no room for complacency. The situation must be faced in a calm and cool manner. We must be vigilant and make full preparations to meet any threat to our integrity and sovereignty. Let us sink all our differences and once again prove it to those who have designs against us that we are a United Nations firmly resolved to frustrate their plans. No power on earth can cow down a nation of 120 million Mujahids of Islam determined to guard their independence and fulfill their destiny. Let us demonstrate it once again that every single citizen of Pakistan is capable of making supreme sacrifices for the just and noble cause of the defense of their country. "May Allah help us and grant us success in protecting Pakistan restoring democracy and raising the standard of living of our people. God be with you, God bless you all."
