Re: [vinnomot] Mr. SA Hannan's Ulterior Motives behind "We should condemn all killers"

Thank you Mr. Aslam for your adequate reply and analysis on Mr. S. A. Hannan's ulterior motive. Now that many years have elapsed since our independence in 1971, the supporters of Jamaati killers and Razakars think that they can twist the facts and can help the criminals to get away with the war crimes. Keeping these in their minds, they are making an all-out effort to confuse and diffuse the occurrences of inhuman acts perpetuated by the Islamic fundamentalist parties namely, Jamaat-I-Islami and Muslim League in 1971.

I was a ninth grader in 1971. I still remember the heinous acts committed by the evil forces of the Razakars and their Pakistani military masters in a small town under Sylhet district. There are many events of killings and torture that took place in and around Maulvibazar (at that time a sub-division under Sylhet district), where we used to live in 1971. I am mentioning just one of the events.

In one of the villages close to the small town Maulvibazar, a gentleman (a Muslim and most probably an "Al-Haj") had a Hindu neighbor. They were very friendly neighbors as we heard at that time. While the Hindu family were leaving for India to save their lives, they left some of their valuable statues and ornaments (made of gold) to their Muslim neighbor with an understanding that they would get these back if they could return from India someday. The Muslim neighbor kept the valuables somewhere in the subsurface of his backyard by digging a hole. Unfortunately, this was leaked out and the Razakars took the matter into their hands. The joint forces of Razakars and the Pakistani military raided the house and found the ornaments and golden statues. This was considered a crime by Pakistani military, Razakars, and the collaborators. The joint forces arrested the old gentleman and his sons (most probably two sons as far as I remember).

One of the leading Pakistani collaborators in Maulvibazar was "Mr. Inamullah." It was well-known that under his leadership and enthusiasm, the arrestees were decided to be killed in public for helping a Hindu family, who, according to them were the enemies of Pakistan and Islam. Accordingly, the announcement was made. The gentleman and his sons were handcuffed and were placed on the middle of a bridge across the Manu River (close to the town). A few minutes before the execution, the officer-in-charge (OC) of the police station announced and warned everyone present on the consequence for helping the enemies of Pakistan and Islam. The OC was forced to make this announcement because after finishing his short speech, he collapsed there while holding the microphone in his hand but Mr. Inamullah was very enthusiastic and gave a lengthy speech to warn everyone in Maulvibazar if they dared to help any Hindu family. Finally, the Pakistani army fired shots to the old gentleman and his sons from the banks of the river. After killing them, a couple or so Pakistani army kicked the dead bodies from the top of the bridge to the Manu River.

The whole incidence was described by a person, who was present to observe the heinous acts. He went there to see how low (in terms of cruelty, heinousness, and inhumanity) the collaborators and their Pakistani masters could go. After independence in December 1971, Inamullah was caught by the freedom fighters probably in February 1972. They decided to kill him the way he organized to kill an innocent gentleman and his sons in public. While I was standing outside our house, I heard the announcement on the day and time for the public execution of Inamullah. I must admit that I felt very happy after hearing the announcement. The sufferings of those innocent people were in my mind and I thought that Inamullah should get the equal cruel treatment.

At that time, the government under Awami League was not fully established and not fully functional just after independence. In fact, the government high-ups were trying to calm down the situation and bring the war criminals under the rule of law. In the case of Razakar Inamullah, the government interfered and they stopped his execution in public. Inamullah was later sent to jail and his execution in public was cancelled. The anger of the public on Inamullah was so much that many people did not like the cancellation of his execution in public by the government. After many years, while I used to think about this, I realized that the government did the right thing by protecting these people from the wreath and anger of the public, who suffered under their repression. Otherwise, there would have been more anarchy and lawlessness in the country. Proper efforts were taken by the government to arrest the Razakars and collaborators to punish them legally for the crimes they committed against humanity.

I have mentioned the above heinous acts of a notorious collaborator and Razakar and the reaction of the freedom fighters/public after independence just to draw the attention of Mr. S. A. Hannan. He should understand the war crimes committed by the evil forces of Jamaat-I-Islami and their allies. He should also understand the reaction not only of the freedom fighters but also of the public in general against the war criminals after our independence. I hope Mr. Hannan (as a conscious individual) will take side against the war criminals and he will stop creating confusion by writing against those who took arms to resist the Jamaati and other war criminals and help save the helpless people of Bangladesh in 1971.

Dear All

The "trial of the collaborators and killers" is a National Issue and is not

guided by "one-sided propaganda of any one party" as Mr. Hannan is tryiing

to portray.

What the Jamaatis are afraid of, Mr. Hannan?

What a ingenous way to put all in one bracket and thereby absolve Jamaat's

crimes!

The collaborators of the foreign occupation regime (Jamaati Islami

and its Gestapo Al-bodor Bahini) must be given examplary punishment, so that the

history does not repeat again. We must set our PRIROTIES. First thing first !

Between March 25-December 16, 1971 the Jamaat Islami, the party as whole

was the main collaborator of the occupation regime.These Jamaatis are the worst

criminals in the history of our nation..... the Uzbekistan-born Mir Zafor Ali Khan

collaborated with the foreigners [British], but the local born Jamaate Islami cadres

not only collaborated with the foreign occupation army but also actively participated

in the killing missions......that makes Jamaatis worse than the Mir Jafor.

Besides many other attrocities, the killing of the intelluctuals in December

1971 was a part of Jamaat's master plan, made by the then Jamaate Islami's

highest level. The plan had the blessings of the occupation regime and executed by the

caders of the Jamaat's student wing Islami Chattro Sangha and its gestapo wing Albadar

Bahini. The Islami Chattro Sangha's crimes were so henious and so gravious that Jamaate

Islami leadership had to changed its name of Shangha to Chattro Sibir.

The organized forces of Mukti Bahini played an active role to save the innocent

non-Bengalis from the wrath and anger of the ordinary masses who were victimized

by some Pakistan-ponthi Biharis and razakers, albadar, al shams etc. during during

previous nine months in 1971.

Mr. Hannan's attempts to put everyone in the same bracket is an attempt to save the

Jamaati collaborators and killer through oblique allusion His intention is often to insult

and accuse the freedom fighters & liberation war by double entendre and thereby

undermine our victory.

Here, I am not condoning the "excesses" done by the mobs during the first few weeks

after liberation. That was essentially a law and order problem in the absence of an

efficient administration and strong police force in a war-ravaged newly independent

country. Nothing can be compared to the rapes, atrocities and killings by the Pak Army

and their collaborators [Razakers, Albodors Alshams etc]. As a consequence, certain

kind spontaneous mob psychology developed which resulted in the excesses. The families

suffered, their women were raped, their houses were burned and many family members

were tortured and. killed The crimes of Jamaati Razakers, albodors and al-shams were

premeditated, pre-planned and well organized with the blessings of the Pakistani

Military Junta which should never be forgotten and forgiven. The ideology [Pakistan

Doctrine] that created the local collaborators, misguided, motivated and inspired them

should also be thorowly analyzed and properly stopped.

It must be mentioned here that improvised Bihari's were kept in ghettos and "permanent

refugee camps" after they migrated to "the then East Pakistan" in late forties and early

fifties by the Pakistani rulers with some ulterior motives.

The poor Biharis were occasionally used as hooligans by the Muslim League and other

reactionaries to attack and suppress the democratic movements during fifties and sixties.

The Santahar and Syedpur communal riots in 1950 and Dhaka anti-Hindu riot during Indo-Pak

war in 1965 was participated entirely by the Bihari goons instigated by the Ayub Regime.

[read Dangar Itihash and "Purbo Bangla Rukhiya Darao" for communal harmony by Taffazol

Hossain Manik Miah].

Most migrants from West Bengal and Assam were assimilated with the common people

of Bangladesh [the then East Pakistan] and didn't take any anti-Bangladesh position in

1971. Some of them were very patriotic freedom fighters. A large number of urdu

speaking refugees from India living in Bangladesh [the then East Pakistan] were misguided

and used as rioters and killers against the ordinary people, Bangalee Hindus and Muslims

without any discrimination.

There is definitely a heinous and ulterior motive behind Jamaati Advisor Mr. S.A. Hannan's

amalgamation of everyone in the same bracket and delibarate mix up of issues.

[Dhama chapa dewar Apo-koushol].

BTW, Mr S.A. Hannan talks about all the "condemning all killers , killers of

innocent Muslims and Non-Muslim Bengalees, killers of Biharis and migrant population

of India to the then East Pakistan, killers of freedom fighters and killers of Rajakars,

that is all killings made at that time without trial by various forces".

Mr. Hannan, who are these innocent Muslims and who are these Non-Muslim

Bangalees? Can you elaborate?

Yes, notorious Monaem Khan was killed by a Muktijoddha [of course, without a

tial]. Do you think this patriot freedom fighter should be tried too?

If demand is made of trial of killers , it should be for killers of all kinds and

groups without any discrimination.

We should try to see the truth in keeping with the turbulent situation of the

time created by various forces. We should not be guides by one-sided propaganda of

any one party.

Subject: Re: [khabor.com] Who were responsible for the break up of Pakistan ??

NIce arguments and counter arguments !!

Mr Javed, try to accept the fact.

Just try to know what your great patriotic Pakistani Army

did in 1971 in East Pakistan.

Don't just comment on 'propaganda' made by Pakistani media.

Well, I am not surprised.

You are typical Pakistani. (ignorant about the real

incidents of 1971 and moved by the Pakistani official

propaganda).

To me there is another surprise .

I met a serving Pakistani Army officer about seven/eight years ago

(he was a Major at that time: may be he is Lt Col or Full Colonel now).

The fact he told me was a real surprise.

Even Sheikh Mujib did not say that before 1970 election !!

He told me that most of the West Pakistani civilian officers

who were posted in East Pakistan used to consider himself/herself

as the 'lord' and they expected East Pakistani people to 'serve' them.

And on going back to West Pakistan, they used to tell the stories

of their 'experience' of getting services as a lord !!!

So, these West Pakistani bosses used to consider themselves

as the colonial power and people of East Pakistan was ....................???
