684 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বিতীয় খন্ড RTC: HAZARVI BACKS MUJIB'S DECISION-BHUTTO CRITICISED Specch by Maulana Hazarvi at Jabees Hotel on March 4, 1971. Maulana Ghulam Ghaus Hazarvi, General Secretary, Jamiatul Ulema-i-Islam (West Pakistan) yesterday endorsed the decision of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman not to attend the proposed conference of the leaders of Parliamentary Parties in Dacca on March 10. The better course, in his view, would have been to convene the inaugural session of the National Assembly and then postpone it for 10 days during which efforts at political and constitutional conciliation could have been initiated by President Yahya Khan. Maulana Hazarvi, who was speaking at a reception held in his honour at Jabees Hotel, emphasised that constitution-making was a job done inside the Assembly and not in the public. It was wrong on the part of Mr. Bhutto or Sheikh Mujib to take an uncompromising stand on constitutional matters before-hand. He criticised Mr. Bhutto of talking in the "language oftultimatum" and thus causing a crisis which could have been averted through mutual love, tolerance and understanding. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, he pointed out had shown a good deal of accommodation in his last statement. The same day Mr. Bhutto had talked in a rather provocative tone in Lahore. Had the Sheikh's spirit of accommodation and amity been reciprocated, a meeting of minds could have been possible in another round of Bhutto-Mujib meetings, he added. Maulana Ghulam Ghaus said the people of West Pakistan had full sympathy for their brethren in East Pakistan during their present trying times. He hoped that even at this critical hour some way out would be found so that Pakistan's integrity and solidarity remained intact and Islamic bonds between East and West Pakistan strengthened. 求 : 冰 :}; Bhutto condemned. Maulana Hazarvi regretted that Mr. Bhutto in his Lahore speech should have thought it fit to threaten the West Pakistan MNAs who went to Dacca to attend the National Assembly session (without his prior concurrence). Mr. Bhutto, he pointed out, should not forget that the One Unit had been undone and every Province had its elected representatives. Mr. Bhutto could not, therefore, claim to be the spokesman of West Pakistan and, hence, he should not talk as authoritatively as he does on political and constitutional issues or threaten the MNAselect, Maulana Ghulam Ghaus reiterated his warning that foreign powers and vested interests were hand in glove in their bid to disintegrate Pakistan. In this context he names an envoy of a Big Power moving all over the country and calling on the various political leaders.
