The Complex Problem of East Pakistan
THE PROBLEM of East Pakistan has turned out to be much more complex than the military government of General Yahya Khan had expected it to be. The invasion of the eastern province and the mass killing of the East Pakistanis, which General Yahya Khan had expected to be able to put down the aspirations of the people to obtain a greater degree of autonomy, has resulted in the opposite. The people’s resistance continues and, as far as certain reports are concerned, even grows.
