Exactly a fortnight back in his column,
Men & Matters, Z.A. Suleri, wrote how high the stakes are for Pakistan in the present crisis. Being a veteran journalist and very near to the military junta he ought to know.
He starts with the 70-year-old French author, M. Andre Malrauxâs offer to serve in the Bangladesh forces fighting to free East Bengal from Pakistani domination. I quote: âHe is the leading literary light of France, who was a close companion of De Gaulle and was his Cultural Minister for many years. His books are considered masterpieces of French literature. That intellectuals and men of letters should feel a moral compulsion to fight in movements they regard as advancing the cause of humanity, is a long tradition.
