244 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড প্রবাসী বাঙালীদের প্রতি আমেরিকাস্থ ইষ্ট ইষ্ট পাকিস্তান লীগের দলিলপত্র ২৬ এপ্রিল, পাকিস্তান লীগের বক্তব্য Տի, Գ Տ April 26,-1971 CIRCULAR NO.2 Contact has been established with our government in Bangladesh and we have been given certain directives to carry out. Our Prime Minister, Mr. Tajuddin Ahmed, wishes the Bengali community abroad to concentrate on two aspects of the struggle against the invaders: fund-raising and diplomatic pressure. Fund-raising: The Prime Minister has asked for certain purchases to be made through funds raised abroad. Some of these items need not be revealed at present. Other items are medical supplies, certain items of clothing etc. These funds are also to be used support the diplomatic arm of the Bangladesh government. Fund-raising should be for two different purposes. Funds raised through the American Friends of Bangladesh and various church groups should be earmarked clearly for relief supplies. We estimate that so far the invading Pakistan army has burnt 2000 villages, rendering a million persons homeless. Half-a-million refugees have crossed over to India for sanctuary. We have to help both the refugees in India and the homeless people in Bangladesh. For help to the homeless in Bangladesh arrangements are being worked out and will be intimated to you in another circular. Funds raised for help to the Bangladesh government should be collected in the name of Bangladesh Fund (as intimated earlier in Circular No.l.). Direct personal contributions can also be made to the Representative of Bangladesh in North America. This Representative is likely to be appointed within the next 2 weeks. For the Bangladesh fund we should elicit generous contributions from Bengalis. Our brothers and sisters are going through great sufferings at home. The least we can do is to suffer a little with them by sacrificing some of our comforts. Diplomatic Campaign: The declaration of Mr. Hossain Ali in Calcutta has been a tremendous boost to our diplomatic campaign. His address is given below: Please do not write to him unless absolutely necessary. As the chief diplomatic mission of Bangladesh they have their hands very full. However a letter of congratulation to Mr. Ali and his colleagues will be much appreciated. The telegraph address is BANGLADESH. CALCUTTA.
