Bengalis argue over passports
Bengali members of the Pakistan High Commission in England have refused to obey a Pakistan Government instruction to hand over their diplomatic passports according to a member of the commission staff.
The staff had been given until last night to comply with a special instruction issued from Rawalpindi.
The Government instruction is thought to have arisen after some diplomatic officials had declared their allegiance to the BanglaDesh government proclaimed by the dissident Bengalis.
