Jamaat's war in Bangladesh
I am not at all annoyed with Janab Mojaheed's (Secretary General of Jamaat-e-Islami) statement that JI never worked against our independence. Then Janab, please clarify what did you and your people do at the time that we call Liberation War? I give you a lead you worked heart and soul for the Paki regime in the name of fighting infidels! And Janab Shah Hannan informed us of what you did not say. He thinks that it was a Civil War! You people have the courage to say such things demeaning the existence of Bangladesh now because Bangabandhu had the magnanimity to forgive you and for that you never bothered to say 'sukriya' and subsequently rode on the shoulders of other political parties to elevate yourself to the present status! You would do the job left unfinished of rewriting the history of Bangladesh that your alliance party in power in the last five years started, and if you people ever come to power, you would write a 'Naya Itihas' New History, to uphold that without JI Bangladesh could not have been liberated!
One thing is definitely striking : people like you do not repent, change or have the courage to accept reality a quality of a Sachcha Razakar. And a Razakar always remains Razakar, but unfortunately many a freedom fighter turn to neo-Razakars as the present political development in the country manifests. That is why you flourish to propagate your beliefs.
It is also ironical that during the past 36 years we were too busy to prepare and review the list of freedom fighters several times to only add insult to them, and lastly, the list finalized by the last alliance government allowed a number of fake freedom fighters and even Razakars in the list in many districts. Even, they purposefully excluded many names of genuine freedom fighters from monuments built in several districts. This is not, perhaps, too late to rethink about this practice and go for preparing lists of Razakars at union-level in all districts of Bangladesh.
The present government is now in a good position to undertake this venture for the sake of our future generation.
