THE OTTAWA CITIZEN (Ottawa) September 17, 1971
Today the author discusses various attitudes in Pakistan. Many countries have been split from time to time the United States during its civil war, Nigeria during its agony. But Pakistanis seem even more deeply divided. A young Punjabi chartered accountant declares : “We have only one problem in East Pakistan we don’t have enough bullets to kill all of them India-lovers”. A refugee from India, now a high government official, declares : “It’s true we are ruling them as a colony now—and we will. They deserve it, after the brutalities they committed against innocent men, women and children. You wouldn’t believe it.
