224 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড ঘূর্ণিঝড় ও জলোচ্ছাস কবলিত পূর্ব আমেরিকাস্থ পাকিস্তান ২৫ নভেম্বর, পাকিস্তানের প্রতি অবহেলার প্রতিবাদ র সভাপতির চিঠি 〉h)"の লিখিত চিঠি November 25, 1970 The President of Pakistan Islamabad, Pakistan. Dear Sir, We, the Pakistanis residing in the U. S. A. and Canada, observed the grave situation and magnitude of the recent cyclone and tidal wave disaster in the coastal regions of East Pakistan-where more than a million have perished and another million awaiting death from starvation, cholera, typhoid, dysentery, pneumonia, etc. The foot-dragging efforts in the relief work of the dominate West Pakistani bureaucrats in the central govt., including your Excellency, has proven again that East Pakistan is only being used for exploitation. East Pakistanis do not even get humanitarian treatment during disastrous natural calamities—not to speak of their rights and privileges from the so-called Pakistan govt. during normal times. We have experienced similar behavior for the last 23 years. All the defense spending is still being drained in West Pakistan. Although 70% of the total foreign exchange and 60% of the total revenue is being earned by East Pakistan, not even very, small fraction has been spent in the development of East Pakistan. During this calamity if we have to depend solely on foreign nations, what is the use of being tagged with West Pakistan as a counterpart when West Pakistan's ruling clique is deliberately undermining the cause of relief work in East Pakistan. We urge you to look into the 1940 Pakistan resolution moved by Mr. A. K. Fazlul Hoq, which called for two independent Pakistans. This was promised to East Pakistanis, but never fulfilled. Now we demand you to transfer the power to the present National leaders of East Pakistan and establish a separate, independent, sovereign East Pakistan and thereby avoid future enmity, violence, mistrust, hatred, and bloodshed between East Pakistanis and West Pakistanis.
