245 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড Justice Abu Sayeed Chowdhury, Vice-Chancellor of Dacca University, is expected to come to New York to present our case before the United Nations. As soon as the exact dates of his visit are known we shall inform the bigger chapters telephonically. We expect the bigger chapters to inform the smaller groups/individuals around them. A big turnout to welcome and support Justice A. S. Chowdhury is expected. Each chapter should send at least one person to New York during his visit. We must continue writing letters to Senators and Congressmen. Letters from Americans would be specially effective. Please do not relax the publicity campaign. News from Bangladesh: From our contact with the Peoples Government of Bangladesh we have learnt about the following developments: (a) Outside Dacca all civil servants have joined the Mukti Fouj and many instances the Deputy Commissioners and S.D.O.'s have led the resistance. Outside Dacca formers East Pakistan government employees have joined the Bangladesh government. Nearly all class II, III and IV employees of government offices in Dacca have gone to their villages and towns and joined the Mukti Fouj. The remaining officers in Dacca are being taken to and from their offices by armed escorts. This is necessary for the military invaders since at every opportunity people are slipping out of Dacca, because of the complete insecurity of life and property in the city. Biharis from Mirpur and Mohammadpur have occupied most of the house in Dhanmondi and they are looting without hindrance. "Muslim" Biharis in Dacca and other place (Saidpur, Lalmonirhat etc.) have been issued rifles and they have formed marauding gangs against the local people. Other nonBengalis, such as the Garos and Santhals, are fighting against the, West Pakistani invaders. Most of these "tribal" people are Christians and, like the Hindus, are in danger of being killed as soon as they are caught by the West Pakistanis. (b) Many persons have rushed to Bangladesh to help the war efforts. Unfortunately most of them do not have the skills urgently necessary. The Cabinet advised our emissary that they urgently need (i) radio/electronics engineers and mechanics, (ii) persons with UOTC/army/police training, (iii) civil servants of all categories, (iv) mechanical engineers and mechanics, (v) medical doctors and nurses. Anyone wishing to serve in Bangladesh should contact the Bangladesh Mission, Calcutta, till such time that a mission is opened in USA. (c) The seat of Bangladesh government is in Mujibnagar, which is not at a fixed location. Mujibnagar is wherever the Cabinet meet. This is to prevent the Pakistan Air Force from napalm-bombing the actual location. Till such time as we acquire antiaircraft capability the "capital" shall remain mobile. However, even at present the Pakistan army is incapable of holding most of the country.
