Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami in a rejoinder termed The Daily Star report headlined 'Jamaat to take on war crime trial' published on January 30 'baseless and false'. It also claimed the report as a 'syndicated propaganda.'
In the rejoinder, Jamaat said the then Pakistani government formed Rajakar, Al-Badr, Al-Shams and different other organisations. Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chattra Sangha and its leaders had no role and were not involved in those organisations. The rejoinder also states that propaganda is going on against Jamaat Ameer Maolana Motiur Rahman Nizami, Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojahid and Assistant Secretary General Muhammad Kamaruzzaman to confuse people.
OUR REPLY
In the rejoinder Jamaat did not refute the contents of our report. They have only denied Jamaat's involvement in some historical events of 1971, most of which remain as evidence in many documents. We, therefore, stand by our report. |
