বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড Judith Hart has not signed the motion. According to the Times, this motion is regarded by the Members of Parliament as the biggest ever frontal attack on the government of a Commonwealth country. It is significant that this motion calls for the United Nations to involve itself in the political aspect of the situation in East Pakistan. This and the call for the recognition of the Government of Bangladesh reflect the growing view amongst opposition members that events in East Pakistan can no longer be regarded as the internal affair of the government of Pakistan. As yet however, the Labor Part has not officially committed itself to oppose the Government's policy on Pakistan. Տ(է | ASIAN TOPICAL TALKS BRITISH PRESS REPORTS FROM EAST PAKISTAN 23th June, 1971 by Towyn Mason (S) A few days ago it was announced that foreign correspondents were to be allowed once more into East Pakistan to move about and report freely. Today the first reports appear in British newspapers from three correspondents who are in East Pakistan as a result of this decision. The reports are by the Times correspondent, Michael Hornsby, the Guardian correspondent, Martin Woollacott, and the Daily Telegraph correspondent, Clare Hollingworth. Reporting from Dacca, they describe First impressions that are very similar. All three correspondents feel that while life in Dacca is quiet and gradually returning to normal, there is still underlying tension, fear and bitterness. The Times correspondent, Michael Hornsby, says that about three-quarters of the shops and the stores in Dacca are closed and that the army is very much in evidence. Clare Hollingworth in the Daily Telegraph says the army has effectively restored order in Dacca but fear, hatred and even passive resistance remain. The Guardian man, Martin Woollacott says, "Dacca is quiet, rather too quiet for a Bengali city, and there arc portraits of President Yahya on sale in the bazaar, but the people appear sulky and drained of emotion". Outside Dacca, all three correspondents quote reports of continuing military action and continuing resistance to the army, particularly in the Madhupur Forest area near Tangail. The correspondent say it appears that security in the provincial towns is not as good as it is in Dacca.
