510 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিল : চতুর্থ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ বাংলাদেশের গণহত্যায় পাকিস্তানকে সহায়তা | বাংলাদেশ শিক্ষক সমিতি ২১ আগষ্ট, ১৯৭১ না করার জন্য মার্কিন সরকারের প্রতি বাংলাদেশ শিক্ষক সমিতির আবেদন BANGLADESH TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION Durbhanga Building, Calcutta University Calcutta-12. Your Excellency, The Bangladesh Teacher's Association have been viewing with grave concern the continuous supply of arms and ammunition by the Govt. of U.S.A. to the Government of Pakistan. The United States Government is aware that such arms and ammunition would be used by the Pakistan Army in its act of genocide in Bangladesh. The protests against this action by us and all peace and freedom loving people of the world do not seem to have had any effect, whatsoever, on the Govt. of U. S. A. till now. The Association had voiced a few weeks ago their feelings on the subject in their memorandum submitted to Senator Kennedy. The association had sent a copy of the same to President Nixon through the United States Consulate in Calcutta. A news item appeared recently in a section of the Press to the effect that American arms and military equipments in Vietnam are now being shipped or are proposed to be shipped to Pakistan and that the service of American experts on Guerrilla warfare, are being placed at the disposal of General Yahya for imparting training to Pakistan Army personnel to fight the Bangladesh Liberation Army. This has caused further concern to the 75 million people of Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Teachers' Association consider all these actions of the Govt. of U.S.A. as abetment to the act of genocide now being perpetrated by Pakistan Army in Bangladesh. They find it difficult to believe that the American people are willing to offer assistance to a ruthless Military regime for crushing the Liberation struggle of the people of Bangladesh. The association, therefore, appeals to the people and Govt. of U.S.A. in the name of justice, humanity and freedom to : (a) stop all aid, military and economic, to General Yahya's Government; (b) put pressure on the Govt. of Pakistan to stop further atrocities in Bangladesh and release the great leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman unconditionally; and (c) recognize the Government of the sovereign state of Bangladesh. Yours truly, Dated, Calcutta, August 21, 1971. (A. K. Roy) General Secretary, Bangladesh Teachers' Association. The Consul General of the United States of America, Calcutta.
