Mujib still in detention, says A.L. leader
DACCA. Feb 20: Mr. Mizanur Rehman, MNA, and Organising Secretary of the Awami League (Six Points) tonight issued the following statement:
“I am Shocked to listen to radio broadcast quoting Mr. Farid Ahmed, MNA, about the release of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on parole and that he is going to Rawalpindi to attend the Round Table Conference. There is absolutely no truth in this report.
“Sheikh Mujibur Rahman will not attend the talks unless the Agartala Conspiracy Case is withdrawn. I wonder how Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan, Convener of the DAC could confirm this misleading report.
“On behalf of the East Pakistan Awami League I protest against this news broadcast by Radio Pakistan and state that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is still in the Cantonment”.-APP.
