Pakistan's State of Denial
Whatever
may be the intensity of atrocities perpetrated by the Pakistani Army and
governance on Bengalis in 1971 at East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), Pakistani polity
remains unapologetic yet and it was found best when the National Assembly in Pakistan
passed a resolution condemning the hanging of Abdul Quader Molla (or the Butcher
of Mirpur), tried, sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh
and hence executed. The grief in the Islamic world following the hanging remains
unique – while Chaudhury Nisar Ali Khan (current Interior Minister in Pakistan)
termed the execution of this infamous leader of Jamaat-e-Islami in Bangladesh as
a “judicial murder”, Imran Khan, globally acclaimed cricketer and also chairman
of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), called Molla as innocent and
charges against him as fabricated.
Other
Islamic institutions are not lagging as well. Muslim Council of Britain termed
the entire development as "a sad day for Bangladesh and sad day for democracy and
justice. The trial process of Abdul Quader Molla was fraught with flaws and the
international community including the UN and all respected Human Rights organizations
world over strongly criticized the trial as unfair, biased and politically
driven." Islamic Circle of North America termed it as a “political murder
and a dark day of justice.”
Moreover,
Saudi gazette, prize English-language newspaper
published from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, published an article on December 18,
2013 titled “Execution of Abdul Quader Mullah after an unjust trial.”
It is worthwhile to mention that Quader Molla, apart from
being directly involved to the genocide of Bengalis in both Shialbari
and Rupnagar areas of Mirpur during the war, organized local non-Bengali people of
Manipur, Sheorapara, Kazipara areas of Mirpur into armed groups to go on with
the brutal killing and Hindus remained their first and foremost target.
