'Scrap distorted part of history'

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Sammilita Nagarik Samaj (SNS), a coalition of socio-cultural organisations, yesterday demanded the government scrap the 'distorted part' from the recently published Liberation War's history with regard to the proclamation of independence.
Addressing the rally organised by SNS at Central Shaheed Minar yesterday Awami League General -Secretary Abdul Jalil said the present government is out to erase the name of Bangabandhu by twisting the historical facts.
"Jamaat-e-Islami that had been bitterly opposed to our great liberation war in 1971, has understandably got very active to destroy the country's glorious past," Abdul Jalil added.
Speaking at the rally President of the Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) Monjurul Ahsan Khan said there should not be any difference of opinion that the liberation war was
fought under the leadership of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
"The Liberation War was not merely an army mutiny, rather it was a mass revolution, which gained momentum basing on a 23-year-old historical background," the CPB president said.
President of Dhaka University Teachers Association (DUTA) Dr AAMS Arefin Siddique said the government by deleting the facts has made nothing but a mockery of the history.
"People of this country on March 25, 1971 heard the proclamation of independence that was transmitted through wireless from the then headquarters of East Pakistan Rifles," Dr Arefin said.
Workers Party President Rashad Khan Menon told the rally distortion of the history is a part of the antiliberation forces' plot to mislead the country's future generation.
Demanding withdrawal of the distorted part from the Liberation War documents he said all the progressive and pro-liberation political parties must unite in opposition to the conspiracy of communal forces.
Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) President Hasanul Haque Inu said that, currently the anti-liberation elements within the government are dictating how the government runs.
"Jamaat-e-Islami, which was not that much dominant initially, has been elevated to decision-making level now and the prime minister is completely guided by them," Inu said.
Presided over by journalist Kamal Lohani, the rally was addressed among others by Professor Anisuzzaman, Professor Nim Chandra Vhowmik, Sammilita Sangskritik Jote President Nasir Uddin Yousuf and actor Ramendu Mazumder
