"Death Throes and Birth Pangs'
The happenings in Bangladesh are the death throes of an old nation (Pakistan) and birth pangs of a new nation (Bangladesh).
The only real solution of the Bangladesh problem lies in the immediate release of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and negotiations with the elected representatives of the people of East Bengal.
During my talks with leaders of the Bangladesh Government that nothing short of total independence could bring about normalcy in East Bengal.
On my return to Britain I will meet the British Foreign Minister and leaders of the Labor Party to impress upon them the need for a total halt of economic aid to Pakistan as a first step to force it to come to senses.
The US should stop all aid to the military regime of Pakistan till it agrees to end the brutal suppression of the democratic movement in Bangladesh.
