You have said in the same editorial that the secessionists have friends in continents and other countries. It is by them that the news was spread and exaggerated. The basic thing was, I suppose, the response of human being at the human suffering. I am inclined to make friends with the human being and sympathies with their suffering. Inhumanity must be stopped and inhuman forces must be boycotted. 386 Without being influenced by any agent or propaganda, I may suggest for safety of human lives and preservation of world peace that the U.N., if it is worthy of its name, should investigate from the people of the troubled area about their demands, aspirations and wishes. It is not possible to thrust upon a people of 75 million a decision which they may not be willing to accept. Religion or anything for that matter cannot satisfy the materialistic needs and mental urges of a nation. I am personally in favor of a united Pakistan. I have many reasons to support my contention. But if the unity is a heavy tax on peace for other people, I hate advocacy of such unity. I do not disclose my name for fear of impairing the relations of our two people. Please excuse me for this.
