Subject: Lies of S.A. Hannnan and Jamaat-e-Islami on liberation war and my two cents
It is a question of perception on where you stand on an historical charged issue, which will determine you as part of aggressor or victim of aggression, right and wrong, certainty or falsehood.
Jamaat leader S. A. Hanna, razakar commander Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed, Motiur Rahman Nizami AKA Moitta Razakar, Abdul Kdir Mollah and other Jamaat-e-Islami leaders who recently claimed our glorious liberation war as civil war is nothing new to find.
This is their (Jamaat-e-Islami) deceitful attempt to save their skin from treason charges that nation is demanding for long. Their attempt is to create a smoke screen to portray them as a party of power struggle not as collaborator of occupational forces, which killed millions of Bengali, raped hundreds of thousands of women, arson village after village and pillage our wealth during our liberation war.
To invalidate their vicious attempts of altering the facts of our glorious history of liberation war I bring following thoughts for your assessment. Fist one need to understand what is the meaning of Civil war, Liberation War and War of Independence.
Definition of Civil War:
A civil war is a war in which parties within the same culture, society or nationality fight against each other for the control of political power.
Definition of War of Independence
The term War of Independence is generally used to describe a war occurring over a territory that has declared independence. Once the state that previously held the territory sends in military forces to assert its sovereignty or the native population clashes with the former occupier, a separatist rebellion has begun. If a new state is successfully established, the conflict is subsequently known as a war of independence.
Definition of war of liberation:
A War of liberation is a conflict, which is primarily intended to bring freedom or independence to a nation or group. Examples might include a war to overthrow a colonial power, or to remove a dictator from power. Such wars are often unconventional.
To give some examples I include: Algerian War of Independence, American War of Independence , Angolan War of Independence Bangladesh War of Independence, Dutch War of Independence , Eritrean War of Independence, Estonian War of Independence, Greek War of Independence, Guinea-Bissau War of Independence
There should not be any question for any unbiased readers of history that on March 26th of 1971 duly elected majority representative of national and provincial parliament of then Pakistan and East Pakistan declared Independence and asked its people to resist the occupational forces of Pakistan
Therefore, the war started with a vision for new sovereign homeland for Bengalis NOT TO CAPTURE POWER OF PAKISTAN. PAKISTAN
I agree with you on SA Hannan's theory of "Civil war". He is precisely correct from his point of view, as we all know he himself and his prophetic party Jamaat-e-Islami was against our liberation war what he and Pakistani junta called Civil War. His comments confirmed long-established facts that they have not changed a bit. Until today they go along with Pakistani view as few Hindu political miscreants was creating some skirmish here and their in an attempt to start a civil war.
However, what brings the next question is about some quarter’s dubious frenzied attempt to bring logic and stand beside this falsehood.
Jamaat leaders shall be tried as collaborators of occupational forces of Pakistan
From Pakistani point of view, which Mr. S.A. Hannan subscribes, it was a mere insurgency by traitor Sheikh Mujib and Hindu supporter of Awami League. At worst which can be called a civil war. Gen. Yayah Khan’s speech to the nation as Operation Searchlight planned military pacification carried out by the Pakistan Army to curb the Bengali nationalist movement for freedom on March 26th of 1971 echoed Mr. S.A. Hannan and Jamaat-e-Islami view.
Finally, the very existence of Bangladesh
Sincerely
Shamim Chowdhury
