130 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ ৬০। একটি বিদেশী সৈন্য বাহিনীর নিউইয়র্ক টাইমস ৪ জুলাই, ১৯৭১ কর্তৃক আরাপ THE NEW YORK TIMES, SUNDA Y, JULY 4, 1971 AN ALIEN ARMY." IMPOSES ITS WILL Dacca-"Doesn't the world realise that they're nothing hut butchers?" asked a foreigner who has lived in East Pakistan for many years. "That they killed-and are still killing-Bengalis just to intimidate them to make slaves out of them? That they wiped out whole villages, opening fire at first light and stopping only when they got tired?" The foreigner, normally a calm man, was talking about the Pakistani Army and the bloodbath it has inflicted on East Pakistan in its effort to crush the Bengali independence movement. Most of the foreign residents-diplomats, missionaries, businessmen also talk the way this man docs now. They arc bursting with three months of pent-up anger and outrage. And they are very eager to tell what they know to those foreign newsmen who were permitted to reenter East Pakistan in the past fortnight and travel around unescorted for the first time since March 25 when the army began its suppression campaign. Pakistan's military regime considers the foreign press implacably hostile, but it is desperate to prove to the world its claim that order has been restored, that the army is in control and that normality is fast returning to East Pakistan. The army is, indeed in control except for a few areas near the bonier with India where the Mukti Fouj, or "Liberation Army," is active and growing more so—with aid from India. Yet, East Pakistan is anything but normal. For this is clearly and simply a military occupation by an alien army. Bengali police have been replaced by police from West Pakistan, the country's dominant wing that has more than 1,000 miles away, with India in between. West Pakistanis arc also being flown in to replace officials in every Government department, in some cases even down to the level of typists, Houses and shops of those Bengalis who were killed or fled to villages in the countryside have been turned over to Moslem non-Bengali residents of East Pakistan, who are collaborating with the army. The temples of the minority Hindus- the Army's special scapegoats—are being demolished for no other reason than to demonstrate that those who are not part of the army's design of "Islamic integrity" are not true Pakistanis and will not be tolerated.
