501 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ পঞ্চম খন্ড ২৮ নভেম্বর, ১৯৭১ NIAZI'S PITIFUL BOASTS ..London's The Daily Express has called Yahya a sadistic general with the intelligence of a Sergeant-Major, If that is the I. Q. of his boss, what, then, could be the level of intelligence of Lt. General Niazi-Yahya's killer associate in the occupied areas of Bangladesh? A clue to this is certainly available in Newsweek's Senior Editor Arnand Borchgrave's on the spot reporting from the occupied one a few days earlier. It suggests that this nincompoop of a general has the intelligence of an overfed buffalo. Consequently, he is totally unresponsive to most of the human sensibilities and realities. Perhaps this is the only explanation that could be attributed to his silly boasts about how he has been killing the guerrillas. He reportedly barked: Oh, I'm not afraid of the guerrillas: I'm picking them off like flies." Obviously, the smug nit has neither the experience nor the intelligence to know how difficult it is to kill a fly. Moreover, the analogy falls flat when one realizes that flies don't bite-like the way Mukti Bahini tarantulas have been sucking the life blood out of the invaders. What's more, these tarantulas are immune from all kinds of insecticides that Niazi may have in his store. It's only a fool's smugness that has been allowing him to bark so noisily even at this stage of the game. Soon you will be laughing from the other side of your mouth Niazi-it's a solemn promise from us to you. Try and stay alive if you can to listen to the final jazz-to be more precise, to the inglorious regime. Yahya and his stupid generals may not have realized what is really happening-but the good old lago seems to have got the smell of death already. Zulfi Bhutto, the selfstyled Duke of Larkana, has reportedly said in Karachi that "Old Pakistan is dead. And that a new Pakistan must be created to avert a catastrophe". In other words, the clever cheat and the liar of a Dick has already written off Bangladesh and is already pleading for arresting further disintegration of the artificial union of Pakistani nationalities. Yet, it was only seven months ago-on March 26 to be more precise-that this man had boasted "I have saved Pakistan"-after giving his fullest support to Yahya's campaign of genocide against the people of Bangladesh. It requires a truly shameless creature to make such an about-turn and that, too, so publicly. However, by this he has displayed at least a higher degree of political understanding than those beasts in generals uniform, He knows how bad things are and how fast the whole of Pakistan is sliding toward disaster. Pakistan is finished-he knows that. Now to save his skin he is moving cleverly. He no longer demands transfer of power. The artificially created war-hysteria against India has helped him very much. The declaration of a state of emergency rules out any possibility of that never-never power transfer. Yet, cunning Bhutto is quiet. As trouble fumes all over Pakistan he continues to play the dubious role. Without taking any lesson from his fiasco in Bangladesh, Yahya has chosen to apply the same stick against the Sindhis, Baluchis and Pathans. The National Awami Party of both Wall Khan and Moulana Bhashani have been banned using the same pretext that was used against the Awami League. And, as expected, the reaction, too, is going to be the same. As NAP and Awami League leaders
