Text of comments of Mr. A. H. M. Kamaruzzaman, Bangladesh Home
Minister on Yahya's statement on May 30, 1971.
Somewhere in Bangladesh May 30, (UNI, PTI) Pakistan; President Yahya Khan had resorted to genocide in Bangladesh after “accepting our demand during our parleys” and hence his words would never again be trusted, Bangladesh Home Minister A.H.M. Kamaruzzaman said today.
General Yahya Khan had even promised to announce over the radio his agreement with Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on 25th March but instead of doing so he ordered his troops to wipe out the Bengali race, he added.
Mr. Kamaruzzaman was commenting on General Yahya Khan reported statement in Karachi that he still intended to transfer power to civilian rule. “To us in Bangladesh the name of General Yahya Khan does not connote a normal human being: It connotes a blood-thirsty cold-blooded murderer, the greatest betrayer in world history the disintegrator of Pakistan.”
As such his words, however sweet or reasonable they might sound, would never be accepted by the people of Bangladesh who would react to them correctly by continuing the fight.
“Alter what has been done-the killing of innocent children and citizens the raping of our women folk and challenging our nationality-it is impossible for the people of Bangladesh to live under a common roof with the Pakistanis. How can we do so when the design of General Yahya Khan and his henchmen is to wipeout the Bengali race?”
The basis of living together should be not merely brotherly feeling an mutual consent but also implicit and explicit respect for each other. But this no longer exists, Mr. Kamaruzzaman said.
LIE NAILED
Referring to General Yahiya Khan’s statement that some of the Awami League MNAS-elect had disqualified themselves from membership by their policies and actions. Mr. Kamaruzzaman said “Pakistani rulers have no right to question the authority of the Awami League members who have received the support of more than 98 per cent of the population.
“The power-drunk Pakistani imposters, who have no respect for democratic values have also no right to judge on the authority of these members.
