Bangla Minister pleased with fighters’ spirit
MUJIBNAGAR, AUG. 23 – Mr. Mansur Ali, Finance Minister of Bangladesh, today expressed deep satisfaction over “the firm determination of the young guerrilla trainees to fight to the last drop of their blood to liberate Bangladesh,” says PTI.
The Minister, who returned here after visiting different training centers in Bangladesh said, “I have been deeply impressed by the profound enthusiasm shown by thousands of young men who stood in long queues to enroll themselves as trainees in guerrilla warfare. The recruits are also picking up guerrilla techniques within an unbelievably short time.”
Some of the youngsters, who recently carried out daring operations, told Mr. Ali that Pakistani troops now appeared to be completely shaken and did not even dare to put up any formidable resistance against their guerrilla onslaughts.
