Allegation by Pakistanis
(N Z P A.-Reuter—Copyright) DACCA, December 7.
East Pakistani Government officials today alleged that many people were injured in the second attack within a week by Indians on Pakistani enclaves inside India. They said that Pakistanis were forced to leave their homes, houses were burned and belongings looted in an attack on the Bhurighamari enclave on Saturday. Pakistan had already protested to India over the first incident, in which Indian nationals and policemen were said to have attacked the Batrighach enclave, killed 300 Pakistanis and injured 700. India has denied this. Pakistani officials said that this had been the most serious trouble for many years in the enclaves, which are small patches of territory allotted to Pakistan inside India when Britain’s Indian empire was partitioned 23 years ago. Similar Indian enclaves remain inside East Pakistan.
