Pak Resolution on Mollai i's Execution

It's interference in Bangladesh's affairs Say eminent citizens

Staff Correspondent
Eminent citizens yesterday sharply reacted to Pakistan's condemnation over the execution of war criminal and Jarnaat-e-Islami leader Abdul Quader Mollah.
Such a stance by Pakistan is an act of interference in Bangladesh's internal affairs, they told a discussion in the capital's Bangladesh Institute of Law and International Affairs (Bilia).
The Pakistan National Assembly on Monday adopted a resolution expressing concern over the execution of Mollah who, it said, was "hanged for supporting Pakistan in 1971".
Earlier, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told the Assembly that Mollah was hanged "through a judicial murder".
The citizens once again demanded a ban on Jamaat, which opposed Bangladesh's independence and committed atrocities on civilians in 1971, as a political party.
Ekatturer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee organised the discussion marking Victory Day. It also screened Shahriar Kabir's new documentary "Bangladesh Kon Pothey".
Kabir, executive president of the nirmul committee, said, "The judiciary is independent all around the world. No other nation can comment on our internal judicial system."
Criticising the Pakistan interior minister's comments over the execution, he said such a view made it only apparent that Mollah was a keen follower of that country.
About Jamaat's recent countrywide violence and ways to prevent them, Kabir recommended deployment of army if the regular law enforcement agencies fail to resist them.
With such a stand, Pakistan has literary declared Mollah as its "own child", said historian MuntasirMamoon.
Veteran journalist and cultural personality Kamal Lohani said, "Vultures are out to claw at the national flag once again."
"We have to stand united to protect it, not only to stand to form the largest national flag," he said.

Lohani said execution of Mollah had been possible because of a mass demand and the activities of the antiwar criminal campaign platform Gonojagoron Mancha.
Explaining the process of the International Grimes Tribunal (ICT), former law minister and prime minister's law adviser Shafique Ahmed said confusion had been emerged both nationally and internationally over the trial of the accused persons and their identities.
"If we see the ICT act, then it becomes clear that the trial is going on against those who committed crimes against humanity such as rape, genocide and looting during the Liberation War," he said.
"The ICT is not an international court. Through adopting the ICT act, we are trying them under our domestic law."
Justice Syed Amirul Islam and Gonojagoron Mancha spokesperson Imran H Sarker, among others, also spoke at the discussion.
