Huq An Impediment
In Way of
‘Restoration’
MUJIBUR RAHMAN
(By A Staff Reporter)
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, General Secretary of the East Pakistan Provincial Muslim League, in a statement issued in Dacca yesterday (Monday) said after his discussions in Karachi he was confident that the question of restoration of parliamentary government could not be taken up as long as Mr. A.K. Fazlul Huq remained the leader of the Party. “If there was any impediment in the way of the restoration of Parliamentary Government, it is Mr. Huq’s insistence on being the leader,” he said.
Mr. Rahman in his statement charged Mr. Fazlul Huq for violating the rules of the United Front Party and making utterances “without consulting the Party or the Cabinet” when he was the Chief Minister of East Pakistan.
Mr. Rahman said that the no-confidence motion to be moved in the next United Front Parliamentary Party meeting would not be on behalf of any affiliated party “but in accordance with the wishes of the majority of the Party.” “This will be amply proved if one looks to the names of the signatories where in the members of all the four affiliated parties have put their signatures,” Mr. Rahman added.
