DACCA: The Awami League President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman said here today [Jan 4] that after the seven crore people’s verdict in favour of the six-point programme, the constitution must be framed on this basis alone.

The members of the National Assembly [he added] had no right to change the six-point formula. … Sheikh Mujib warned if the six-point programme was opposed by any other quarter in West Pakistan the responsibility for any consequences would be theirs.

The Awami League chief… assured the common men in Western Wing that he would do everything possible to improve their economic condition and wanted them to be with Awami League in the struggle.

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who was the chief guest in the 23rd anniversary of the founding of East Pakistan Students League here at the Ramna Green, emphasised that the fight within and outside the Assembly must be carried on to realise the people’s rights.

Even if “the conspirators” were compelled to hand over power to the people’s representatives, the “machinations” would never stop, Sheikh Mujib warned.
