ROUT OF MUSLIM I.i:,V(.l |:

. The recent landslide of the
'United Front,' in Eastern Pakistan shows
how unpopular the Muslim League has
become. The-party, which gave them
Pakistan, is completely shattered by the
people themselves. The people must
have crown impatient at the ride ot the
leaguers It appears that a thorough
disgust and hatred wns borne by the
people. They appear like birds at the
time of snowfall These birds havVgot
chaiic? to shake off their wings unbeara-
ble weight of snow falling over, their
body. The adoption of Urdu as the
State language in a place where tho
people are predominantly Bengali spea-
king must be the foremost cause of the
Leagues' downfal. American aid and
■ yiSa system have further added to the
discontent of the common but patriotic
subjects. .

The forfeiture of deposits by. so
many League Candidate* is an indication
that besides the unpopularity of the
League, the U. F. must have assured
the people ot great hopes. It these
hopes, however, remain unfulfilled, the
U. F. Government awaits tho same fate.
