This Day That Age
The Pakistan Prime Minister, Mr. Mohammed Ali, in a broadcast to his nation on November 22, said that he and his Cabinet colleagues had decided that East Bengal be named East Pakistan and all Provinces in West Pakistan be merged into one unit. He said a small committee of officers had already been set up to work out details for the integration of West Pakistan Provinces into one. These Provinces, he claimed, had been created by the British to keep the people divided and weak. So the existing artificial provincial barriers had no place in a free West Pakistan, which was culturally, geographically and ethnically one. Pointing out that a unitary system of Government was not possible for Pakistan owing to her peculiar geographical conditions, the two wings being divided by 1000 miles of foreign territory, the Prime Minister said Pakistan would, therefore, of necessity, have to be divided into two Provinces, East Pakistan and West Pakistan. Both the Provinces would have a Central Government at Karachi.
