DACCA: Indian authorities are currently working on implementing another diabolical design to push out the helpless Muslims to East Pakistan from the Indian state bordering it.

Observers here smell such plan from Indian Press publishing news of the so-called influx of refugees from East Pakistan into Assam alleging torture by the majority community in East Pakistan, because this is the usual way of Indians before embarking on eviction of Muslims.

Observers noted with concern that even the Prime Minister of India, Mrs Indira Gandhi, also joined the chorus, making a statement in the Rajya Sabha that 70,000 Pakistani nationals were secretly staying in Assam. — Agency

[Meanwhile, as reported by an agency in Lahore,] The Vice-President of the All-Pakistan Awami League, Mr B.A. Saleemi, categorically declared here this evening [Dec 10] that the Awami League could never think in terms of secession and might consider minor amendments of the six points ... He made it clear that these points never envisaged separation or independence. In fact, they pertained to the distribution of subjects between the Centre and the provinces, which naturally presupposes the continued existence of Pakistan as a single entity.
