despite nominal lambda 4 news freedom lures have retained princely states then they enjoy boss privileges and that force per g increases but a lot of the poor presence he becomes more and more desperate in a bid for survival that the movement of people from Vilnius to the city's official stimates on fifth of the total level forces or about ninety lots people are unemployed this alarming figure ongress to grow the industry of workers are suffering the full impact of the sharp rise in the cost of living the cost of living is increasing more rapidly than increase in money weathers the impact of the under immunized is the cost of living is also a quietly faildy school and college teachers la fête officers employees particularly the fourth grade implies of government to turn now to the appalling record of economic disparity it is seen that during the last 20 years out of the total revenue expenditure of the government only a power to be 1500 crores that is only one fifth of the total while spending been gone as against over 5,000 crores in west pakistan of the total total development expenditures during the same period about rupees 3000 crores there's only one third of the total while spending big all as again stupid rupees 6000 crores in West Pakistan about 20 years West Pakistan has imported goods worth more than rupees 2000 cloves as the Kenzie's own for accessories or barely 1,300 crores in force into West Pakistan have been three times the value of the force into Bengal it was made possible for West Pakistan tempore goose worse to his 2000 crony extends of his his export earnings by allocating tweet to his 500 crores of the foreign exchange earnings a big girl and I like it too which lies over 80% of all foreign aid the code of the field of  government services it's just as deplorable about 22 years Bengalis account for barely 15% in central government services and less than 10% of the different services the total economic impact of sus in discrimination has been that of economy bengal today is instead of imminent collapse near firming conditions are prevailing in the message of the Phyllis's some 70 lakh terms of rice has had to be imported all intercept the people are from starvation when ill while inflation has been mounting those who are worse eat and the poor people have been gone the price of essential commodities has been fifty percent two hundred percent higher in Bengal there in West Pakistan the average price of course rice in Bengal is rupees 40 to 50 per month as against 20 to 25 per month in West Pakistan and of

gold price is rupees 135 to 140 futurliner crutchy as against 2 rupees 160 to 165 but too large a car even a customs barrier has been imposed against carrying coal from West Pakistan to bank all this injustice is the product of management the economy for 20 or 22 years by the central government the central government is incapable of addressing sudden justices this is borne out of the 4th five-year plan the fourth plan and aggression or a confession of the failure of the central government however powerful it might be to retest Basten justices awami league six point program freeze embodied in the Nibin burn program present a rational solution to this problem of justice with a central bureaucracy in his Bengal is a crown for barely 15% and with the nature about power structure being haughty geez the expect justice from the centralized system of evoke economic management would be to expect maybe possible items to secure loves and aggression by political representatives or big gall and other underdeveloped areas would only aggravate regional tensions and threaten the viability of federal government the only feasible solution is the reordering of the constitutional structures by being by giving full regional autonomy to the frenetic units on the basis of our six fund formula SAS autonomy in order to be effective must include the power of managing the economy this is why we insist upon falada units have been contorno our monetary and fiscal policy and foreign exchange earnings and other powers to negotiate foreign aid and foreign trade and foreign aid by giving to the frontier ease full control over his economy destiny while exhausting the federal government responsibilities of over Foreign Affairs of Defense and subject to certain sub girls currency we believe is just phonetic federal balance will be a change or federal scheme and businesses the abolition of all Pakistan services and it is placement by funneling services in which personally could head on the basis of populations for all parts of Pakistan we also believe the maintenance of militia on a paramilitary forces my phonetic units will effectively contribute towards national security the further these foreign skin by removing the source of doubts disturbs and discrimination will ensure a strong Pakistan this Kim will understandably be opposed by those in  all region who would like to teach it

criminal neglect a discriminatory exchange rate parasitic middlemen have denied to the jute growers a fair price nationalization of the two trades and must get an emphasis on Judas's aimed at improving quantity and empirical reliable just jute to make his rightful contributions to our economy go to make similar attention then therefore we believe the cotton trade should also be nationalized and messes it up to improve quality and yield our mass major cash crops cane sugar cane tobacco is to suffer from a poly mill Louise due to neglect of previous governments in resource-poor country every effort must be made to ensure rapid increase in productivity a fair and stubble price to the growers should also be ensured
