I understand people have criticized our response to the cyclone it’s an emotional situation, he acknowledged. He pivoted to his government’s disaster response. There may be some delays in the disaster affected areas, but I have no doubt whatsoever that they would take place at all other polls, he said.

It was the first time a major political figure in East Pakistan had been heard to say such a thing, at least in public.īashani didn’t have the mass following or influence of Sheikh Mujib, but he had his finger on the pulse of the Bengali public.

The US Mission in Nepal had sent two smaller choppers. The Hueys, familiar the world over from the nightly television news footage of the ongoing Vietnam War, were the workhorses of the American military, able to carry 4,000 pounds of cargo up to 285 miles without refueling.
