Agartala, March 26
Broadcasing tonight from a clandestine radio station identified as the Voice of Independent Bangla Desh the announcer said Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has declared the 75-million people of East Pakistan as citizens of the sovereign independent Bangla Desh, says PTI.
The clandestine radio, evidently located in the northern region of East Pakistan, said that the East Bengal Regiment, the East Pakistan Rifles and the entire police force have rallied behind Mr. Rahman in the struggle for independence.
…
The broadcast called upon the people of free Bangla Desh to continue the current movement till the last enemy soldier is vanquished.
It said Mr. Rahman is the only leader of the people of independent Bangla Desh and his commands should be obeyed by all sections of people to save the country from the ruthless dictatorship of West Pakistanis.
Free Bangla Desh flags, the broadcast said, have been fluttering all over East Pakistan and millions of people led by the Awami League are ready to make any sacrifice to preserve the independence of Bangla Desh.
