Akattorer Ghatak O Dalal-ra: Kay Khutay?Published by Muktizuddha Chetona
Bikash Kendra, Dhaka, Bangladesh.Some information may have changed, but
relevance of the information from a historic perspective is still
important.Last Modified: 09/13/2007 14:18:34Bangladesh Liberation War
1971: GenocidePakistani War CriminalsNEWS FROM BANGLADESH, March 16,
1999Editorial and Commentary:Why should Bangladesh raise the issue of
genocide?By – A.H. Jaffor UllahZ.A. Khan’s memoirs “The way it was”
spilled quite a few names who were involved in gratuitous merciless
killings of Bengalis in occupied Bangladesh. The swiftness with which
the genocide was carried out by Pakistani Army had no parallel in the
annals of mankind. Despite the publicity it generated during the short
nine-month period, Bengali leader Sheikh Mujib was almost mum about it.
Perhaps Sheikh Mujib thought rebuilding the war-ravaged infrastructure
of his nation was more important at the time than finding out among
Pakistanis who- did-what in 1971.Perhaps it was a mistake of monumental
proportion that the leadership of the newly formed nation never asked
for a trial of Pakistani generals and officers who were involved in
extermination of three million Bengalis, never mind the rape of a
quarter million Bengali women.In 1975, a military general who came to
power in Bangladesh through violence never showed any interest
whatsoever in this subject matter. To the contrary, this general was
alleged to have worked behind the scene establishing a good relationship
with his masters from the olden days. After the violent over throw of
this general, another Bangladesh General ruled the country with tight
iron grip from 1982 through 1991. During his reign too, Bangladesh
Genocide was very much considered to be an anathema. As such, the
government never did pursue to raise the consciousness about the wanton
killings of 1971. Like his predecessor, this cagey general also looked
other the way around when question of Bangladesh Genocide was raised by
the intelligentsia of the nation.The democracy finally did return to
Bangladesh in 1991 and we thought that this time around the question of
Bangladesh Genocide would be raised by the Prime Minister. But that did
not happen. The Prime Minister was more inclined to forge a close
relationship with Pakistan than ask the genocide question to redress the
issue of wanton killing by Pakistani army.After a long twenty-one year
period Sheikh Mujib’s party came into power in Bangladesh through adult
franchise and we enthusiastically looked forward to the leadership of
Awami League for raising the genocide issue. Mrs. Hasina Wazed, the
Prime Minister half-heartedly asked that question to Mr. Nawaz Sharif in
1997. There were some rumblings in Pakistani press, but that was all;
no progress was made in the past two years. In February 1999 when
Pakistani Prime Minister did visit Dhaka to attend a conference of eight
Muslim nations the Prime Minister of Bangladesh did not pose that
question to Mr. Sharif, perhaps not to embarrass the Prime Minister.
However, there were enough static in Dhaka and elsewhere to demand an
apology from Pakistan for Bangladesh Genocide. Some civic organizations
in Dhaka were stridently protesting while the leaders of eight Muslim
nations met in a close door session.I presume this genocide issue is not
going to vanish in the thin air as most Pakistani politicians and
military leaders would seem to think. The Internet had so far been
proven to be an extremely effective media to educate and disseminate all
the Bengalis on the issue of Bangladesh Genocide. Bengalis from both
Bangladesh and West Bengal were affected by the gruesome events of 1971.
Perhaps the genocide issue will bind the entire Bengali communities all
over the world because disproportionately more Hindus suffered in the
hands of Pakistani soldiers.Pakistani government should know that
Bangladesh Genocide is a touchy issue with all the Bengalis and it is
going to stay that way in the foreseeable future till Pakistan offers an
apology on behalf of his rogue military.Mrs. Hasina Wazed should come
to her senses knowing that Pakistan is not a major trading partner of
Bangladesh. Perhaps Bangladesh should put pressure to Pakistan telling
them point blank to apologize for gruesome killings of Bengalis in 1971,
or else face the consequence. The consequence being cut off diplomatic
relations between the two countries. Bangladesh will survive rather well
without being cahoots with a pariah nation, which still refuses to come
to terms with her past misdeeds.Appendix OneA partial list of Pakistani
military officers who committed Genocide in Bangladesh in 1971Here is a
list of Pakistani military personnel involved in mass killings in
occupied Bangladesh from March 25 through December 16, 1971. This
partial list was prepared solely from reading the accounts of Brigadier
Z.A. Khan who himself was an accomplice in Pakistan’s genocidal
military. Brigadier Khan’s account was published in News From Bangladesh
in early March in seven part series. This ex-military officer of
Pakistan wrote in vivid details the untold tales of destruction and
subjugation of Bengali nation. The surviving ex- military officers from
the list should be brought to justice because they have committed crime
against humanity. A few of the generals and most young officers of the
day are still alive in Pakistan. They should know that while they had
all but forgotten their misdeeds the Bengalis remember them very well.
Like holocaust survivor who hunted the Nazis till this day, the Bengalis
will also do the same to bring these criminals to justice. South Asia
will be a better place for our descendents once these criminals are
brought to justice – alive or posthumously.Here is the partial list:The
Generals1. General Yahya Khan, military president of Pakistan in 1971.
He refused to transfer power to Awami League after the general election
of December 10, 1970, when Awami League had won the general election.2.

Bangladesh several times to see firsthand the progress of the killing
machine.3. Lt. General Gul Hassan Khan, Chief of General Staff (CGS),
Pakistani Army. Contrary to what he might have said, he was one of the
principal architects of Bangladesh Genocide. His very presence in

destruction of Bengalis in East Pakistan.9. Major General Khadim Hussain
Raja. He suspected Brigadier Mazumdar, a Bengali officer, of siding
with Bengalis. He came all the way from west Pakistan to arrest
Brigadier Mazumdar. He later became chief of Chittagong operation for
Pak Army.10. Major General Akbar, Director General, ISI. He helped Pak
Army carry out the Genocide by providing intelligence data. Major
General M. Rahim Khan took control 14 Division and replaced Major
General Khadim Hussain Raja. His forces were responsible for all the
killings done in Mymensing-Dacca-Jessore area. This general was a first
rate executioner of Bangla Genocide. He was responsible for atrocities
