UN asked to take notice of ‘judicial murders’ in Bangladesh

ISLAMABAD: Former Interior Minister and Senate Committee on Interior Chairman Senator Rehman Malik has written a letter to United Nations Human Rights Council to take serious notice of the judicial murder of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Bangladesh leader Ali Ahsan Mojaheed and Salauddin Chowdhary, leader of Bangladesh National Party.
Malik called upon the Prince Zeid Bin Ra’ad Al-Hussein – the High Commissioner for Human Rights in United Nations – to nominate a high powered commission to visit Bangladesh and investigate the murder of these two political leaders.
He urged the High Commissioner to take the serious notice of the matter and exercise all the powers under the Human Rights Charter of UNO that the judicial execution for political gains and revenge could be stopped on time.
In his comprehensive letter, Senator Malik writes that the people of Pakistan have noted with deep concern and anguish this unfortunate execution and we term it as an unprecedented violation of Human Rights. He said the people of Pakistan are also concerned over the silence of International Community on this ongoing flawed trials in Bangladesh related to the events of 1971.
Senator Malik says as matter of fact the present incumbent government of Bangladesh is taking revenge from those political leaders who had expressed their loyalty to their own then country (Pakistan) and had resisted Indian involvement in their internal affairs some 45 years ago.
Senator Malik further explains that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Bangladesh on 7th June, 2015 in presence of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid has proudly confessed the breaking of Pakistan and Indian involvement in the unfortunate events of 1971. In the letter, Indian Prime Mister Narendra Modi’s confessional statements is also quoted: “Remember the days of 1970; tell our coming generations that it was us. That each and every Mukti Jodha (freedom fighter) sitting here, I bow to you. Standing shoulder to shoulder, the Indian Army sacrificed in blood with them and none would be able to say that this blood belonged to a freedom fighter or that to an Indian Soldier, no distinction could be witnessed.”
He writes, thus the International Community especially the United Nations and its Human Rights Commission must not ignore the fact that the Indian interference in Pakistan is proved beyond doubt after the confessional statement of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that “RAW” and the then Indian Prime Minister (Mrs. Indra Gandhi), the then Indian Army Chief (Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw) and the then Indian Defence Minister (Mr. Jagjivan Ram), were directly involved in the massacre of 1971 and played a despicable role by killing innocent civilians, resultantly breaking the sovereign state of Pakistan.
Senator A. Rehman Malik tells the High Commissioner Human Rights “Hence the allegation of involvement of the mentioned Pro-Pakistan executed political leaders in the massacre was completely fabricated and unjust as it is proven evidently beyond doubt that they were not the ones involved in this massacre but it was infact “Mukti Bahini” which was duly sponsored and supported by India.
“It is apprehended that the Government of Bangladesh is not going to stop its policy of revenge against many other such political opponents of the present Government who are in line and are likely to be murdered in the same manner if the International Community continues to ignore such heinous crimes, Senator A. Rehman Malik cautions the United Nations.”
Senator A. Rehman Malik advises the High Commissioner that it warrants your immediate interference in the matter on Urgent basis to save further innocent lives that may fall victim in the hands of incumbent Government.
