Secret Documents of Intelligence Branch(IB) 1953 Vol. 3

The intelligence agency of Pakistan kept Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the greatest Bengali in a thousand years under strict surveillance almost at every stage of his 23-year long struggles from self-determination to autonomy, from autonomy to the independence. The then Intelligence Branch (IB) collected and compiled information related to most of his political programs and other activities nationwide. Documents available in some 47 personal files (PF) preserved in his name will be published successively in volumes 1-14. These volumes will represent many known and unknown facts in relation to the emergence of the country name Bangladesh, which were conserved as classified government documents. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman organized and engaged the East Pakistan Muslim Chatra League (Chatra League) in the Language Movement and in the movements to restore the rights of the menials of Dhaka University. Having parted from Muslim League, Pakistan's (then) influential and ruling political party, he organized Awami League and transformed the party into a popular party of the distressed people of Bengal. It was at his own hands that the complete extension and manifestation of Awami League took place. In order to keep away the Bengalis from the governance despite being the majority, the Pakistani ruling class hatched various plots and schemes. This exclusion of the Bengalis from governance was ultimately revealed when they dismissed the 1954 United-Front Government and established the rule of the central government. He made the people of this country understand how the country's wealth i.e. currencies earned from selling jute was being spent to modernize Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Islamabad. For 23 long years, he imbibed the people of Bengal in the spirit of independence' by making them realize the limitless discriminatory approaches of West Pakistani ruling class against the Bengali people, including extreme disparities in military and other government employments, inequitable prices of daily life commodities in the two parts of Pakistan, unfair levy on goods in East Bengal, inconsistent education policy and neglect of East Bengal in relation to its infrastructure and roads and highways development and so on. Consequently, there followed the movement against Ayub Khan, the 6-Point Movement, Agartala Conspiracy Case, the Mass Revolution of 1969, the Election of 1970, the Non-cooperation Movement of 1971 followed culminating in the War of Independence. Thus the Bengalis earned their greatest achievement in a thousand years-Peoples Republic of Bangladesh state.
