police who could come over to the side of the people before they were killed, are putting up heroic and determined armed resistance to the Pak Military. The working class of Bangladesh through their bitter experience of last twenty three years-the years of exploitation, poverty, misery and ruthless suppression, realized that the achievement of its class emancipation was impossible without first liberating the people of Bangladesh from the clutches of military Junta of Pakistan the last resort of the vested interest. The working class, true patriots as they are, actively participating in the armed struggle for the liberation of Bangladesh.
An independent, sovereign state under the name of “Democration Republic of Bangladesh” is born and a provisional Government with Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as President and Mr. Tajuddin Ahmed as Prime Minister has been formed and declared. This Govt. is the only legally constituted Govt. of Bangladesh since it has the unequivocal sanction of the people through their electoral verdict on adult franchise held in December 1970.
Facts indicate that this conspiracy of annihilation of the people of Bangladesh was premeditated and planned much earlier. A fascist type Army & commando units were created and was specially trained up in the art of mass killings, destruction, arson, looting & raping. The dialogue which was opened by the President and the commitments he made from time to time was nothing but manuvoures behind which the war preparation was being carried on. We know it very well that we have to wage a long 'drawn, well planned and well organized armed struggle to defeat the enemy. We also know that for the victory of our struggle the active moral and material Support of the international working class, all democratic forces and peace loving people is essential.
It is most encouraging to note that many trade union organisation of the working class and toiling masses and along with other democratic and peace loving forces have come out in support of our just cause and have also condemned the atrocities perpetrated by Pak Army.
We on behalf of the working class and the people of Bangladesh, appeal to all the people who love peace, freedom and democracy and particularly to the international working class and trade union organisation of the world:
1. to persuade the Government of the respective countries to recognize the Government of the “Democratic Republic of Bangladesh” which is the only legally constituted Govt. elected by the people of Bangladesh in the last General Elections, which commands the unqualified support and allegiance of all the Bangladesh and whose authority is established throught Bangladesh except a few overrun towns and cities;
2. to give moral and material help to the Govt. and the fighting 'forces in Bangladesh and to persuade the Govt. of the respective countries to do the same;
3. to mobilize public opinion and create pressure on the military—fascist Regime of Pakistan to stop the genocide;
4. to persuade the Govt. of the respective countries to impose economic sanction against Pakistan and to refuse the supply of war materials to the Pakistan Military Junta including loading-unloading carrying of the same.
