Yahya asked to meet Sheikh

Lahore March 6 (APP) : Nawab Zada Sher Ali Khan, former minister for Information and National Affairs has asked president General Yahya Khan to immediately go to East Pakistan to meet Sheikh Mujib and other leaders of that wing.

I strongly condemn theunprovoked firing and brutal killing of workers in the tongi industrial area by army and demand public trial and punishment for the officials responsible for this inhuman action.
