1. WITH REFERENCE TO YOUR MESSAGE (TOHAK 111) ON BANGLADESH, YOUR CONTROL OF SITUATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. IT IS NOW EVEN MORE ESSENTIAL THAT WE DO NOTHING SINCE WE HAVE REACHED A GENERAL UNDERSTANDING HERE THAT WILL ENABLE US TO FOLLOW OUR GENERAL GAME PLAN BUT ONLY IF WE SIT ABSOLUTELY TIGHT UNTIL INDIAN TROOPS ARE WITHDRAWN. (PLEASE PROTECT STRICTLY.)
