369 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ বাংলাদেশ সরকারকে আন্দোলনের অগ্রগতি ও “আমরা’ ১১ আগষ্ট,১৯৭১ Djakarta, 11" August, 1971 Dear Mr. Maqsood Ali, We already let you know the various odds and difficulties in our way. Our enthusiastic people as well as sympathizers kept the minds of millions here stirred up and a shape of favorable opinion was beginning to form. But enemies of our cause have lately gained a little success at huge cost to suppress from publishing the information of events in Bangladesh. Large-scale defection from missions has again convinced the society of journalists and readers that Bangladesh movement still survives the heavy repression and naked lies of Pakistan. The widely circulated English daily THE DJAKARTA TIMES in its “Billy’s column” critically remarked as follows (cutting also enclosed): “Seven Pakistani diplomats in Washington and two in London resigned their posts and pledged allegiance to the ‘Bangladesh Government. I thought the ‘Bangladesh' was already put down entirely. That was the Pakistani Information Service here said, you know!” In the changed situation of this field, we have thought out to change our strategy. In this connection, we propose to make our approach to a large selected influential elites. But our approach, you know, cannot yet for obvious reasons be open. However, a few important names are sent to you herewith. We suggest that they may be supplied regularly with a copy of THE PEOPLE. The bills on this account should be sent to us for arranging immediate payment. We have started supplying materials to others. This we hope to counter the lies spread by enemies. We also hope your cooperation will be coming immediately. May we hope that the actions suggested in earlier letters are being take by you? We do not yet know if the remittance to Mr. Hossain Ali has been received. Will you kindly let us know? With regards, Yours sincerely, (Amora) Mr. M. Maqsood Ali, Press Attache, Bangladesh Mission 9 Circus Avenue, Calcutta-17, India.
