Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, Joint General Secretary of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, raised a question about the role of the Jamaat-e-Islami and its activists in the Great Liberation War of 1971. He said that the nation wanted to know what was the political role of the Jamaat-e-Islami in the Great Liberation War, and in which sector they fought.
Recently, the Islamic group Amir Dr. Shafiqur Rahman’s quote: “There are two proven national forces in the country, one is the army and the other is the group.”
Rizvi spoke about Amir’s group’s speech while presenting a gift to the family of Asia Youth Cup winning cricketer Iqbal Hussain Emon on behalf of ‘We BNP Parivar’ at Kadmatuli in Sylhet on Thursday (January 2).
He said: A political party says they are patriots and the army. There is no doubt that the army is patriotic, as its predecessors fought with their lives to build Bangladesh, one of whose leaders, Ziaur Rahman, declared independence. The army played a wonderful role in the popular uprising of 24.
Rizvi said: I want to say to the Islamic political party, what is your political role in 71? In which sector did you fight, and under which sector commander did you fight? There are no nationalists in Bangladesh, there is only one nationalist political party – if you create such confusion, people will laugh, and people will never laugh.
The BNP Joint General Secretary said that a heavy stone was sitting on the neck of this nation. This stone was so heavy that it left the entire nation in a state of suffocation. People couldn’t breathe. People could not move freely. There was no political party and no freedom of voice. I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t hold meetings. The Jubo League-Chhatra League was lynched after the police allowed it.
“The RAB law and order police used to misbehave with the women of the family when they went home at night without a reason, and without a judicial order,” he said. When they didn’t find him, they even arrested the girls in the family.
Sheikh Hasina distorted this freedom, in order to secure her power, to free herself from the shackles, in which 3 million people sacrificed their lives and 200,000 women were oppressed. Ilyas Ali son of Sylhet why is he not here today? By Sheikh Hasina. Because he took a stand for the country, he took a long walk towards Tipaimukh Dam. People say that’s why he was exiled. It is not known how many youth and student groups fell victim to the crossfire and disappeared. Sheikh Hasina carried out this horrific inhumane act for 15 and a half years.
He also said: The students came out in July and August against the backdrop of 15 and a half years of the Democratic Energy Movement. Sheikh Hasina was forced to flee. Now we can see in the newspapers that the trial for the July and August murders will be completed within a year. doctor. We all respect Yunus, but this government is a global democratic political party government.
Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said: Only those who were killed and tortured in July and August, only those crimes will be tried, Ilyas Ali will not be tried? Will Chaudhry Alam not be judged? Don’t judge someone who has been in the crosshairs for 15 and a half years? Those who exchanged fire, threw seven bodies into the Shitalaksha river, will all these rogue RAB officers not be prosecuted? The crime committed by Sheikh Hasina, who played the butcher, will not be judged?
Paying tribute to the sacrifices of the students who sacrificed themselves in July and August, he said: “Just as they will be tried, why are they not being tried, those who sacrificed their lives to save democracy are helpless?” It should be sad to draw the line this way.
“It was not possible to provide the entire textbooks to the school, which is different,” he said. But there in the history books they did some work to show the real history. We do not disagree with this chapter dedicated to the intellectuals of this nation. There, Fazlul Haq, the persecuted popular leader Maulana Bhasani, Hussain Shaheed Suhrawardy, and Ziaur Rahman, the advocate of independence, were mentioned. But why was the liberation war chapter not preserved from the Declaration of Independence?
Rizvi also said: Ziaur Rahman did not end up declaring independence, but fought. Why is there no chapter on the liberation war? Whoever becomes the government in exile will get it, as he must have a chapter from the liberation war with him. Thank you for what happened, but why does it remain incomplete?
He said that the Liberation War was a major event. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had launched a movement for independence, and a field had been prepared for independence, but Sheikh Mujibur Rahman did not talk about any special declaration or preparation in the War of Independence. He doesn’t have that calling. The truth is that Ziaur Rahman declared war and the war continued for 9 months. This chapter is not maintained. I would like to request the government to make the history a complete history of the freedom struggle.
