বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ তৃতীয় পত্র

 When our gallant fighters are making their way to victory at the cost of millions of lives and rivers of blood and tears, we shall not allow anybody to step and nullify these supreme sacrifices. On the soil of Bangladesh the 75 million people of Bangladesh constitute the only power.

 The United Nations High Commissioner for Relief and Rehabilitation has taken a partisan view of the situation of the refugees. He wants to administer a palliative when it requires severe surgery. By now he should be in a better position to say whether or not his personal presence and assurance could inspire any refugee to go back home or cause still larger overflows to India. We feel that no further experiments in this line should be undertaken. We, therefore, call upon the United Nations to put off this vain attempt to tackle the refugees problems. Only the Government formed by the duly elected representatives of the people of Bangladesh can take the refugees back to their homes.

 The United Nations and its affiliated agencies must recast and rationalise its role and, consequently, the scheme of sending observers on any attempt to make the issue as an India-Pakistan issue instead of admitting that it is a Bangladesh-Pakistan issue. This attitude cannot bring peace in this part of the world. The national approach would be to recognize the Bangladesh Government, which alone can speak on behalf of the People of Bangladesh as the sole arbiter of their destiny. In calling a spade lies the key of avoiding further catastrophe and crisis, and we assure the world that Bangladesh Government will pave the way of achieving peace, provided that the real issues are not clouded and avoided.
