LAHORE: The East Pakistan Governor, Mr Abdul Monem Khan, today [April 6 J said the disgruntled political elements in East Pakistan, who were raising misleading slogans of six-point programme, would never succeed in their nefarious designs because the people of the Province were fully aware of their past.

These very gentlemen who were now parading about as champions of East Pakistan, had done absolutely nothing when they themselves were in power.

In 1954, when they came to power with a promise to implement the 21-point programme, they forgot all about their pledges, so much so that out of 21 points they could implement only one they turned the Chief Minister`s Residence into the Bangla Academy.

Mr Monem Khan, who was talking to newsmen at the Lahore airport on arrival from Dacca, made pointed reference to what he described as the gap between the words, and deeds of the protagonists of six-point.

He said these very persons gave a pledge to repeal the Safety Laws but it was during the premiership of late Mr H.S. Suhrawardy that the law was given a new lease of life. Staff Correspondent [Meanwhile, as reported from Quetta,] Mir Nabi Baksh Zehri, member of the National Assembly, told a Press conference here today that the West Pakistan capital should be shifted from Lahore to Quetta.

He said that as Lahore was situated just near the first line of defence, last September`s war had made it imperative that from the strategic point of view it was not advisable to keep the provincial capital there.

It should be shifted to a safer place, he said, adding Quetta was a much safer place and also had good climate with ample space to accommodate the provincial capital at a comparatively low cost. Lahore besides being a historical city and trade and industrial centre held its own position which would not at all be affected by the shifting of the capital.
