In November, the Indian Prime Minister...

to explain again the gravity Of the situation.
In capital after capital, she pleads the Bengali cause.
In London, she has asked what can be done
to stop the refugee accidents.
WEN waxy that the massacre there slaps‘ the rape slaps
The burning of villages stop.
Can it not be fair to put to you
that you are contributing in a way
to the exodus of the refugees by
your support of Pakistan Guerillas.
And mustn't you, il"I BffBCt...
face the question of having to reduce your support
for the Guerilla army which is operating in East Pakistan.
Well, that means, we allow a massacre to continue?
What happened ﬁrst?
How many people were killed according to
your correspondent of British Newspapers?
Of American Newspapers? Of French Newspapers?
Canadian Newspapers, Arabian Newspapers.
The massacre began long before there was a single Guerilla.
Elut if the contribution to quietening
Of the situation as I say--
No, what does quietening mean? Does it mean
that we allow, we support the genocide?
And CID YOU think it can be stopped?
Do you think people are going to sit aside
and watch their women raped in front of them?
And say that, no, we are going to quieten the situation.
That's not quietness.
That is the worst possible type of war
it iS the worst possible type of violence.
Elut hDW then without something done to control
the GuenHa acuwty m return fur
greater discipline by the Pakistan Army
can WE secure ms ﬁrst step?
When Hitler was on the rampage
why didn't you say, let's keep quiet,
let's have peace in Germany

Our government has failed to denounce

Our government has failed to take forceful measures
to protect its citizens.

to placate the West Pakistan dominated government.
And to lessen any deservedly negative
international public relations impact against them.
Our government has evidence what many will consider
warm bankrupmy.
Elut we have chosen, not to intervene.
Even morally, on the grounds that the Awami conflict,
in which unfortunately
the over-worked term genocide is applicable,
is purely an internal matter of the sovereign state.
Private Americans have expressed disgust.

You thought you will scare us into submission,
but the methods you chose to use,
forced a journalist like me to pick up arms!
You will surely be punished for your crimes.
Nothing will happen.

You cannot punish every soldier for the orders

Its not about an eye for an eye.
It's also not just about revenge.
This iS about justice.
The society, which does not punish the guilty,
suffers the death nr mrvncervce
Till the murderer is not punished for his misdeeds
every nook and corner of humanity will suffer.
I'm sorry,
but this iS also not just about ITILIFUBI'.
This iS about brutality,
This is about conspiracy,
betrayal and treachery with the country!
These people have trampled
over the very concept of motherhood.
These people have stolen the dreams of the innocent.
They have divided us by language.
They have even divided DUI' Allah,
