KARACHI, Pakistan, April 10 —The Pakistani Government has been stressing Islamic solidarity in an information campaign it is directing at the people of East Pakistan.

In recent days, as the army has attempted to put down the movement for autonomy in the East, radio and television and the press have been advancing the theme that the Moslems of the eastern wing played an important part in the formation of Pakistan in 1947.

The papers gave prominence yesterday to a Dacca politician's suggestion that the populace take an oath to be “valiant soldiers of Allah, to defend our faith and thus establish the dignity and status of Pakistan as the homeland of Islam.”

Broadcasters have told East Pakistani listeners, “This is your country; you have a stake in it.” And there has been stress on Moslems’ past hardships at the hands of the Hindu majority in the Indian subcontinent.

Imams Stress Unity

“We are hopeful that Islam will prove to be a strong force binding the two parts of Pakistan together—and that things will get back to normal,” said Imam Shamsul Hasan, who presides over Karachi's Masjid Krizra Mosque, where thousands of pious government officials came out yesterday. Friday is the Moslem holy day, and here in Pakistan's largest city, the imams, or spiritual leaders, stressed national unity in their addresses to the faithful.

Officials here report that in the East Pakistan city of Dacca loyal shopkeepers have put up on their stores posters reading, “Pakistan Zindabad — Allah-O-Akbar” or “Long Live Pakistan —Allah Is Great.”

Islam has deep roots on this subcontinent. Arab conquerors led by Mohammed bin Qasin brought the faith to Sind, the area around this sweltering port city, in 711 A.D. In the centuries that followed, Islam spread gradually through the subcontinent. In the 17th century the great Moslem moghul, Emperor Aurangzeb, had almost all of what is now India and Pakistan under his glittering sway.

Thereafter Moslem power dwindled, and Pakistan was set up to provide self‐government for the subcontinent's Moslem minority. Millions of the faithful streamed out of what became India and settled in Pakistan's east and west wings.

Pakistan has small Christian and other minorities, but its population of 130 million is overwhelmingly Moslem, and Islam is the established religion of the state. This conforms with the dictum of the great Moslem poet of this century, Allma Iqbal: “In Islam God and the universe, spirit and matter, church and state are organic to each other.”

To reinforce the Government's efforts, information officials have been sent from here to Dacca. And the Government radio, its best means of reaching illiterate peasants, has been stressing past Hindu‐Moslem hostility.

The Bengali people of East Pakistan are particularly pious and punctilious in observing Moslem traditions. But many pious, traditional‐minded Moslems here in the West contend that separatism in the East was nourished by secular preachments of Eastern leaders and by a general turning away from the teachings of the Koran.

“They went astray because there was an emphasis on Bengali nationalism and socialism rather than on Islam,” said the imam.
