Mukti Fouj kills 60 Pak soldiers in two days
From Our Agartala Office, JUNE, 27 – The Mukti Fouz which has recently intensified its guerilla activities throughout the eastern sector have killed at least 60 Pak soldiers and captured some arms during the past two days, according to reports received from across the border.
With their active and surprise attacks, the commandos are harassing the Pak troops and their agents everywhere in the eastern sector. The guerillas are now the headache of Islamabad’s army and have foiled the latter’s plan to set up rail communication between Dhaka and Chittagong.
Whatever the Pakistani President General Yahya Khan, might say to the world about the return of refugees, his armed forces in Bangladesh have been keeping the people there terrorized by killing, burning houses and harassing women folk as before to maintain the rate of exodus of Bengalis. The Pak Army’s attitude only suggests that Islamabad’s plan of driving out Hindus and progressive Muslims remains unchanged which is evident from the uninterrupted heavy influx of evacuees into Tripura.
Meanwhile, reports PTI, the Mukti Fouj guerillas had killed five Pak soldiers including an officer when they ambushed a jeep carrying the Pakistani personnel to Chuadanga town in Kushtia district in the south-western sector of Bangladesh yesterday. The army jeep was badly damaged.
