519 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ষষ্ঠ খণ্ড শিরোনাম - ংবাদপত্র তারিখ Horrifying Bangladesh 22 December, 1971 Pakistani Elitocide Vol. 1 : No. 26 HORRIFYING PAKISTANIELITOCIDE IN BANGLADESH Before the imminent defeat of Pakistan army at the hands of the Indo-Bangladesh allied forces, a calculated plan was drawn up by some officers including the head of the occupation army to kill all the intellectuals of Bangladesh. A list of 7 thousands was prepared in the chamber of the General at the Cantonment in Dacca soon alter Bangladesh was recognized formally as a legal entity on 6" December and the Government of India formally accepted the status of this new country as a sovereign State. From 7" to 13" of December this plan was meticulously executed by occupation army and as a result hundreds have been killed all over the province during these six nights. The report of the killing in Dacca reveals the massacre of some most eminent scholars’ and intellectuals of Bangladesh. The dead-bodies now decomposing are still lying in the fields, near Muhammadpur and other places. It is apparent that they were not successful to kill the number they calculated originally but they tried their best. Distinguished people whether a University Professor or an eminent journalist or a doctor of a government officer were picked up either from their places of work or residents by people with guns and face covered with musks and then slaughtered coldbloodedly and left them abandoned in open fields and streets of Dacca. The names reported till now include Prof. Munir Choudhury, Dr. Rabbi, Dr. Abul Khair, Shahidulla Kaiser, Serajuddin Hossain, Dr. Alim Choudhury and Dr. Giasuddin Ahmed. This was more than genocide. This was more than elitocide, it was a genocide to kill the elite of the new born Bangladesh. The history has never witnessed such a horror and such a shockingly cold blooded massacre of a nation.
