EXCERPT FROM PRESIDENT YAHYA KHAN'S
BROADCAST (MARCH 26, 1969)
Fellow countrymen, I wish to make it
absolutely clear to you that I have no ambition other than the creation of conditions conducive to the
establishment of a constitutional Government.
It is my firm belief that a sound, clean and honest administration is a prerequisite
for sane and constructive political life and for the smooth transfer of power
to the representatives of the people elected
freely and impartially on the basis of adult franchise. It will be the task of these elected
representatives to give the country a workable constitution and find a solution
of all other political, economic and social problems that have been agitating
the minds of the people. I am, however, conscious of the genuine difficulties and pressing needs of various
sections of our society, including the student community, the labour and our peasants. Let me assure you that my administration will make every endeavour
to resolve these difficulties.
