This means America has taken note of The Allegations made by Pakistan Ambassador to UN Agha Shahi in Geneva yesterday at the UN Economic and Social Council meeting when he had asserted that India was training "40,000 guerilla infiltrators to raid our country."
According to Sunday Times report, Washington officials have even started flattering India in the bid to restrain her in launching attack against Pakistan by stressing to the Indian government that India is a global power."
Sunday observer's Calcutta correspondent said, India Government "seems to be concerned
about the presence of so many foreigners in restricted zones along the Indo-
Indian officials are anxious to explain observer report said, that the bias is not against relief organisation, "but against individual foreign workers who try to make contract with Mukti Fouj and to pry into the Indian military bases" which means Indians are not so much moved by the humanitarian motives after all but are more concerned in keeping the area clear of observers to launch war against Pakistan.

Mian Tufail Mohammad, acting Amir, Jamaat-
He said Pakistan would remain greatest and the most powerful Islamic state in the world so long it continues to attempt to solve her problems according to the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah. Failure to do so would definitely be destructive for a new born state. Our enemies who never accepted Pakistan as a reality could understand that Pakistan can't be destroyed unless the Muslims of Pakistan are divided according to the concept of territorial nationalism which is quite oppose to Islam. Therefore, they began to sow the seeds of territorial and linguistic nationalism in Pakistan that dragged us to a position of killing our own brothers at the insitation of enemies of Muslims and Pakistan.
Mian Tufail said that a chance came to redress all the injustices and maltreatments done to East Pakistan so far as they got absolute majority in the Assembly in which they could safeguard their interest as they liked. But Sk. Mujibur Rahman, Moulana Bhashani, Ataur Rahman Khan and Prof. Muzaffar Ahmed by adopting a wrong policy pushed the East Pakistani brothers in more poverty and stress than before.
He argued that it is clear from the action of those so called leaders that they were not actually fighting for the rights of the East Pakistanis but for the interest of India. He appealed to the Muslims of Pakistan to once again again stand united to establish Islamic code of life into so that all our problems could he solved best according to the teachings of the Almighty Allah and His Holy prophet. For the last 24 years we pushed away Islamic way of life and tried to follow the principles of America, Russia, China or India and as a result we are in the present position, he added. "We must learn lessons from the past and must not repeat the mistake committed before, he added. He warned the people that if we still fail to establish Islamic way of life in Pakistan then we shall have to face more serious and sad consequences.
He also addressed another meeting of the cross-
He went to the Kushtia peace committee office and talked to the members. He was shown round the Kushtia town.

Hakim Intizaur Rahman Khan Akhunzada a member of the East Pakistan central peace committee, yesterday exposed the malicious propaganda of the Akashbani (AIR) against Dacca Municipality and said neither the Municipality had failed nor it would fail to discharge its normal activities. reports APP.
In a statement Hakim Irtizaur Rahman said: Our attention has been drawn to the recent wild, malicious and mischievous propaganda of Akashbani (AIR) Calcutta in respect of the Dacca Municipality. It is unfortunate that local government agency is also being scandalised by the radio of a so called civilized and democratic country. It has been mentioned in the propaganda that the conservancy works of the Dacca Municipality had come to standstill (due to extreme shortage of staff) resulting into accumulation of filth and garbage everywhere. The Akasbani has assumed that large number of Municipality staff are not cooperating with the Dacca Municipality. It has also been mentioned by the Akasbani as to the existence of an epidemic situation in the city. This is a day dreaming'
A look at the city will reveal that is cleaner than ever. There has been no epidemic diseases, either small pox or cholera in city during the last one year. This explains massive efforts put in by the Municipality staff all these months in their conservancy and sanitary works.
It is not known what good result expect oozing out its own energy are expected out of such wild malicious and mischievous propaganda being done by the Akasbani. In fact, the elements of falsehood and mischief constuting the propaganda structure of the Akasbani (AIR) are better exposed to the citizens of Dacca who, we are sure will not be carried out by the AIR propaganda on the wider perspective of politics, activities of the imaginary liberation forces etc.

Voice of America was the first on Friday morning at 6 to announce that president Nixon has accepted China's invitation to visit China some time before next May. VOA mentioned this fact quite a few times that Nixon's Foreign Affairs Adviser. Dr. Henry Kissinger flew to Peking while he was officially in Pakistan between July and this an announcement, said VOA, had electrified the whole of America and part played by Pakistan in this connection was not forgotten.
But when the BBC now popularity referred to as Bakwas British corporation because is has condoned officially use of word 'Bakwas' used by Indian member, staff about Pakistan mentioned this news in its 7 o'clock bulletin it was not so generous to mention. BBC said Nixon's China visit was arranged while Kissinger was on his "overseas" tour.
VOA while reporting that the Foreign Affairs committee of the House of Representatives suspended 118 million dollar economic assistance to Pakistan by 17 to six votes said that president Nixon under American constitution has the right to veto decision of committee "if in his opinion resumption of aid to any country is in the interest of America and of peace in the region."
The very fact that VOA mentioned this, it left many listeners witae implied impression that happy Nixon over the latest dramatic diplomatic victory in going to China in which Pakistan played no mean apart might resume aid in the interest of international peace in the area.
