We have held so many meetings and passed so many resolutions copies of which have reached the central and Provincial Governments but to no effect. Is the Govt. blind? I believe in direct action. Pakistan was achieved through direct action. Many lost their lives.
Compensation is now being given to the Hindus who have left for the Indian Union. All the properties of the Muslims of India have been confiscated. Even the property of Qaide Azam has shaved the same fate. And we are going to pay them 60 crores of rupees as compensation. Is it justice? You should remember, where justice and equally fail the shining still decides the issue.
We want three things – Food, Education and Military training. Everybody must be given military training to defend his country. They (leaders) love the country to become minister. Those who fly in aero plane may fly away in times of danger. The Punjabi soldiers are not conversant with the geographical condition of East Bengal. We will have to defend our country. As regards food if you are prepared to lay down your lives Nurul Amin cannot but give us food. If in any other independent country, a single individual died of starvation the ministers would have been shot dead. The Ministers would have been pulled by their cars and brought down from their residences. I will urge upon the students to launch illiteracy drive in the rural areas.
If a matriculate muktear can be a minister then cannot we graduates become so? We do not want the plantain frees (M.L.As). We want fresh election.
Thousands of Muslim Youths will lay down their lives if there be oppression on any students or Awami League workers. Meetings are held in the residence of the ministers to create rift in the student community. Money is being spent to the All East Pakistan Muslim Students League. You must not forget that who does injustice and who tolerates it are equally sinners. Go on working, you will succeed.
