764 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ দ্বিতীয় খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ শেখ মুজিব কর্তৃক সেনাবহিনীর হত্যাকাণ্ড क्रा छन्। ১৯ মার্চ, ১৯৭১ সম্পর্কে তদন্ত কমিটি গঠনের প্রস্তাব প্রত্যাখান MUJIB DECLINES TO ACCEPT PROBE BODY No useful purpose could be served : limited. Text of the statement by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman oil March 18, 1971 at Dacca. The Awami League Chief Sheikh Mujibur Rahman today rejected the commission of enquire set up by the Martial Law Administrator, Zone B "to go into the circumstances which led to the calling of the Army in aid of civil power in various parts of East Pakistan between March 2 and March 9". In a statement issued here today the Awami League Chief declared the people of Bangla Desh shall not co-operate with such a commission in any respect. He also said no one should nominate any member to this 'Commission' nor serve as its members. According to the Martial Law Administrator's Order the commission will be headed by a Judge of the High Court of East Pakistan who is to be nominated by the Chief Justice. ※ ※ ※ :: :: :k Following is the full text of the statement: "I regret that the Commission of Inquire" which has been announced, on the face of it cannot satisfy the demand voiced by me on behalf of the people of Bangla Desh. It’s very institution by a Martial Law Order and the provision for submission of its report to the Martial Law authority are highly objectionable. The terms of reference themselves betray the intention of pre-judging the most fundamental issue and to shut out inquiry into the real issues. The only terms of reference is : "To go into the circumstances which led to the calling of the Army in aid of civil power in various parts of East Pakistan between March 2 and March 9". The fundamental issue is thus pre-judged, since what has to be inquired into is whether the deployment and use of force was in aid of ulterior political purposes and not at all in aid of civil power. The 'commission' is further shut out from inquiring into the actual atrocities, which have been reported from various parts of Bangladesh, involving thousands of casualties. Thus, even the number of casualties and the circumstances in which unarmed civilians were shot down cannot be enquired into.
