EAST BENGAL: FAILURE OF A MILITARY SOLUTION
The trend of events, with the possibilities of war between the two countries, makes it imperative that the flow of refugees from East Pakistan should be stopped and a political solution of the problem should be found, especially as a military solution has proved futile and resulted in inhuman consequences.
Also, it is necessary to make serious efforts to find a way to save millions of refugees and to extend aid and relief to them.
