"Today is Direct Action Day ­Today Muslims of India dedicate their lives and all they possess to the cause of freedom ­Today let ­every Muslim swear in the name of Allah to resist aggression Direct action is now their only course ­Because they offered peace but peace was spurned They honoured their word but they ­were betrayed They claimed Liberty but ­were offered Thraldom Now Might alone can secure their Right"
