645 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বিতীয় খন্ড Mr. Bhutto said that his party had tried its best to work out some agreed settlement and understanding with the Awami League. But, now, he added there is no room for further negotiations with the Awami League. The PPP leader criticized those who objected to his party's decision not to attend the National Assembly session and maintained that the PPP members should discuss constitutional issue in the Assembly. He said that in normal circumstances such discussions took place in the Assemblies. The members went collectively together with a blank slate. But here the situation was entirely different. The Awami League leaders had been making speeches showing the rigidly of their stand on the six-point programme, taking oath on that and repeatedly expressing their determination to frame the Constitution only within the frame-work of the six-point programme of the party. They also made their intention to this effect clear during their talks with him. Under the circumstances Mr. Bhutto said if the PPP members went to attend the Dacca session and did not endorse the Awami League's Constitution they might be asked by the Awami League as to why they had come to East Pakistan. "Did not they know Awami League's views and stand on the Constitution previously". Under such circumstances, Mr. Bhutto said, the Assembly would have been a "slaughter house". He did not elaborate on this point.

Of the Six-points of the Awami League, Mr. Bhutto said, the "most difficult" was the one pertaining to foreign trade and foreign aid. ※ ※ 米 ※ ※ 来 To a questioner, Mr. Bhutto said that he was not worried if his party's decision not to attend the Assembly session would make the party members liable to surrender their membership to the House. Let the 85 seats from West Pakistan be vacated and let there be bye-elections to these seats. "We will recapture them all," they said. Asked if there was any similarity in his party's decision not to attend the roundtable conference in 1969 during the Ayub regime and the recent one. Mr. Bhutto said there was some element of similarity. He however, said that the present situation was much different from the previous occasion. "In the round-table conference, a hand pick of the establishment were there but in the Assembly there were representatives elected by the people". He denied that his party's decision not to attend the assembly had any blessing from the present regime. He said that there was no question of any agreement "behind the senses" between him (Mr. Bhutto) and anybody else. He, however, said that it was the Awami League which had hailed the summoning of the National Assembly session by President Yahya.
