Thant Secretary General, United Nations. Honorable Secretary General, We the Pakistanis residing in the U. S. A. and Canada have observed the grave situation and magnitude of the recent cyclone and tidal wave disaster in the coastal areas of East Pakistan-where more than a million perished and still another million awaiting death from starvation, cholera, typhoid, dysentery, pneumonia, etc. The food dragging in the relief work by the dominant West Pakistani bureaucrats in the central govt., including the President of Pakistan has proven again that East Pakistan is only being used for exploitation. East Pakistanis do not even get humanitarian consideration during natural calamities-not to speak of their rights and privileges from the so-called Pakistan govt. We have seen similar behavior for the last 23 years. In spite of the Indian Govt’s permission to fly over her territory for relief work-no planes or helicopters were taken in East Pakistan from West Pakistan. As yet, the Pakistan govt. has not even sent any helicopters by sea route, This proves that the present govt. of Pakistan is purposely ignoring their responsibility. Indo-Pak subcontinent got their independence in 1947. Pakistan was supposed to be formed into two separate independent sovereign countries-but this was never implemented. The military-bureaucratic clique-always denied the human rights of East Pakistanis. Since the partition of India the central Govt. of Pakistan was captured by the West Pakistani Military bureaucratic complex and was ruling East Pakistan and transferring her wealth to West Pakistan. East Pakistan is practically being made a colony of West Pakistan. Having suffered for the last 23 years, we urge you to bring our grievances to the attention of the Human Rights Committee of the U. N., so that 75 millions of East Pakistanis may get their human rights recovered and decide their own destiny. Sincerely yours, K. S. Ahmed President Pakistan League of America 2667 Broadway New York.
