PAKISTAN: PRESIDENT YAHYA KHAN IS TRYING TO REGAIN BENGALIS’ CONFIDENCE By Viratelle
THE DAILY LE MONDE (Paris) October 2, 1971
The Government of Pakistan has accused India for creating conditions of famine in East Pakistan, by sabotaging the supply boats. According to an official communique issued on 30th September, frog-men, trained in India, were intercepted while they were putting mines near the port of Chittagong. On the other hand, Mr. Bhutto denounced on Wednesday the Soviet interference in Pakistan’s internal affairs. He assured President Yahya Khan of the support of his party in restoring democracy in the country. If this democracy is not restored before the end of the year, he added, then, it will be too late to save the country. Six months after the Bengal crisis, the government of General Yahya Khan is trying to regain the confidence of the East Pakistan population and to encourage political life in the country.
