If things do not change, there will be nothing left to change. Either power must pass to the people or everything will perish.

Pakistan was once called the most allied ally of the United States. We are now the most non-allied.

The same goes for the refugees. Mrs.[Indira] Gandhi says ten million. It's obvious she started with that figure in order to legalize her offensive and invade East Pakistan. But when we invited the United Nations to check, the Indians were opposed. Why were they opposed? If the figure were exact, they shouldn't have been afraid of its being verified.

I would not let myself be intimidated by Yahya Khan, his methods had led us to disaster.

For instance, in the name of unity. You can't build without destroying.

If things do not change, there will be nothing left to change. Either power must pass to the people or everything will perish.

Do you know that Yahya Khan's first victim was not to have been Mujib [ Rahman] but myself? Many people in my party were in prison, and at the end of 1970, November 5, 1970, to be exact, he had said to Mujib, "Should I arrest Bhutto or not?" Look, the only reason why he reversed his schedule was that in West Pakistan he couldn't control the situation as in East Pakistan. Besides Mujib has never been intelligent - he let himself be backed into a corner.
