916 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ত্রয়োদশ খন্ড Now, the Ambassador of Pakistan starts the story from 21 st November. I have here report which has just come in: Security Council document S/10412 of 4th December. Paragraph 4 of that report states the following: "4. On 3rd December, 1971, the Chief Military Observer, on the basis of reports from United Nations Military Observers, reported as follows (all time indications WPT)"- which I believe is West Pakistan Time "(a) Srinagar airfield bombed at 1745 hours on 3rd December. (b) United Nations Military Observers at Field Station Punch reported at 2020 hours that Pakistan troops has crossed the cease-fire line at the Punch crossing point... at 1910 hours. At 2140 hours, the station reported that shelling had commenced from the India side of the line toward the Pakistan side, and at 2256 hours it reported that the area of Punch was under fire from Pakistan artillery. (c) Field station Kotli reported at 2145 hours that small-arms fire from Pakistan pickets towards Indian pickets had commenced at 1930 hours and was continuing.

Now, he asked the question, why is it necessary for Pakistan to take military action against India, which is so much more powerful, has a more numerous population, and so on? The answer to that question is very simple. Pakistan, for the last 23 years, has not been broken up by India.
