 KÖHIMA, April 28: The Bangladesh Prime Minister, Mr. Tajuddin Ahmed, today appealed to neighboring countries to grant immediate recognition to Bangladesh and to give unconditional arms aid and thus help a newborn country to free itself from the clutches of a murderous army.

 Mr. Tajuddin Ahmed categorically told his countrymen that the time was now ripe for “dividends to the untold sacrifices” made by lakhs of people in Bangladesh.

 Referring to the innumerable youths, who had laid down their lives for the cause of liberation the Prime Minister, said names would shine in the history of freedom fighters for all time to come.
