576 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ষষ্ঠ খণ্ড Mujibnagar may not be an active headquarter of the Bangladesh Provisional Government but it is in our hands and here we get trained. We need some experts in guerrilla fighting. A man from Al-Fatah in India or West Pakistan manage to come to us and he said that they would be quite willing to provide experts who could train our boys in guerrilla fighting. He said that as Pakistan Government was supporting King Hussain and supplying him with sophisticated arms to kill the Palestinians, the Palestinians will be happy to give all help to the Liberation Fighters in Bangladesh. He wanted our Government to contact their leader Yasser Arafat. Dacca Today Mr. Shaik Rahman, a Chartered Accountant from Dacca, who left the city on 7 June, in an interview to Martin Adeney of the Guardian reported the situation in Dacca "People are being arrested in Dacca and nothing is heard about them. The list of people prohibited from leaving the province runs to 63 pages and academics who have survived massacre and purge, are being listed for further investigation by civilian security forces." Mr. Rahman listed the names of business men who have been taken away for questioning and not been seen again-one, the local general manager for the Philips, Company, Wing Commander Baqee, as recently as Wednesday of last week. In Dacca, he claimed, visiting West Pakistani businessmen accepting statements that business has returned to normal get a rude awakening. Road communication outside Dacca is almost impossible. The steamer service of Khulna has stopped after the ambush of one steamer by liberation Army forces. It is difficult to telephone other centres except sometimes in the evenings. Chittagong, the main port, can only be reached by aircraft after a wait for one way tickets that takes days. The Liberation Army still makes its presence felt, if distantly, even though many of its members have crossed the border. A powerful Free Bengal Radio transmitter can be heard between Seven and eight, mornings and evenings, on 17 May eight grenades exploded simultaneously in buildings in Dacca which included the State Bank, two cinemas, and a smart shopping area... The jute town Narsinghdi is completely ravaged.
