Nizami turned Islami Chhatra Sangha into Al-Badr

Prosecution tells war crimes tribunal

Staff Correspondent
A prosecutor yesterday told International Crimes Tribunal-1 that it was Jamaat-e-Islami chief Motiur Rahman Nizami who decided to turn the party's then student wing Islami Chhatra Sangha into Pakistan army’s death squad Al-Badr in 1971.
"He [Nizami] has no scope to deny that he was not chief of Al-Badr. He had control over Al-Badr and incited its members to commit crimes," said Mohammad Ali, citing from prosecution documents. Al-Badr killed the country's intellectuals in December 1971.
The prosecutor said Nizami was provincial president of Chhatra Sangha from 1967 to 1969 and president of the student body in all Pakistan from 1970 to October 19 71.
Quoting from "Ekatturer Chatak o Dalalra Ke Kothay", Ali said, "During a rally on August 2, 1971 at Muslim Institute in Chittagong, Nizami said had the patriotic people come forward to resist miscreants on March 1, such a
FROM PAGE 3 situation might have never happened...But when Muslims failed, Allah saved the country through the army. ”
Marking Pakistan's Independence Day on August 14, Nizami led a Chhatra Sangha procession at Dhaka Univeisity where participants chanted the slogans, "With our blood, Pakistan will survive", “Killlndia's agents".
The book also reads that Nizami addressed a Chhatra Sangha tea party at Dhaka Alia Madrasa on September 23, saying only patriotic youths of East Pakistan could counter the terrorist activities by "armed Indian infiltrators" and their "local agents” effectively.
“Those, who love Islam, love Pakistan. And we'll have to make an all-out attempt so that the political intellectuals never forget this truth," he added.
As per the indictment order, Nizami obtained Kamil degree from theAlia Madrasa in 1963.
Quoting from another book, "Ekatturer Dosh Mash", the prosecutor said Nizami made a provocative speech at a Chhatra Sangha rally on August 4,1971 in Chittagong. The book cites a Daily Sangram report describing Nizami as chief ofAl-Badr.
The prosecutor later placed arguments on the killing of Head Moulana of Pabna Zia School Kasim Uddin.
The proceedings against Nizami, who faces 16 war crimes charges, were adjourned until today.
Yesterday, the tribunal-1 deferred passing further orders on the show-cause notices served on Human Rights Watch and the Economist until December 8 for their comments on two different tribunal issues.
