Bss, Dhaka

The nation is observing the Genocide Day today, commemorating the brutalities and cowardly attacks carried out by the Pakistani occupation forces on the unarmed Bangalees on the black night of March 25, 1971.

This year, the government and political, social and cultural organisations, including the ruling Awami League, have suspended all programmes on the occasion of the Day in the wake of the deadly coronavirus outbreak.

National dailies have published special supplements and television channels are airing special programmes highlighting the significance of the day.

On the black night of March 25, the Pakistani military junta carried out mass killings in Dhaka as part of its blueprint to thwart the Awami League's assumption of office following the victory in the 1970 elections.

During the attack dubbed "Operation Searchlight", the Pakistani forces mercilessly killed Bangalee members of the then East Pakistan Rifles and police, students, teachers, and common people.

They killed people indiscriminately, set houses and properties on fire, and looted business establishments, leaving a trail of destruction.

President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina issued messages on the eve of the Genocide Day.

In his message, the president said the brutal genocide carried out by the Pakistani occupation forces on March 25 is a barbaric and tragic incident in the history of the Bangalee nation.

He recalled with deep respect the sacrifices of the martyrs of the Liberation War.

The PM in her message said March 25 is the most dreadful day in the life of the Bangalee nation.

On this day in 1971, one of the most horrific and brutal genocide of the world history took place in Bangladesh, she added.

Hasina paid homage to the greatest Bangalee of all times, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the four national leaders, and martyred freedom fighters whose supreme sacrifice has given the nation an independent Bangladesh.

She said the observance of March 25 as Genocide Day would be regarded as nation's memorial of eternal respect and testimony to the martyrs of the Liberation War.

Bangladesh recalls today horror of March 25

The nation will observe Genocide Day today recalling the horror of one of the worst genocides in modern history committed by the Pakistani occupation military against unarmed people of Bangladesh on the night of March 25, 1971 and afterwards.

A low profile will be kept in observing the day this year over the coronavirus situation in the country while the government has decided to curtail the programmes of various national events.

This year, a one-minute blackout would be stated tonight marking the day, said home minister Asaduzzaman Khan.

The home minister called on all people to switch off their lights from 9:00pm as a symbolic protest against the genocide and to pay tribute to martyrs of 1971 War for Independence of Bangladesh.

He, however, said that establishments of emergency services including hospitals and transports would remain out of the purview of the blackout.

In a press release, the Ekattarer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee requested all concerned to stay at home and light a candle at 11.00pm tonight in remembrance of the martyrs of 1971.

‘Due to present emergency situation we have postponed our candle light vigilance program of March 25,’ it said.

The Pakistan military launched their infamous ‘Operation Searchlight’ on March 25, 1971 killing several thousand freedom-loving Bengalis that night alone.

Three million people in the subsequent nine-month liberation war were savagely and systematically killed with help of local collaborators.

As part of the crackdown, tanks rolled out of Dhaka cantonment and a sleeping city woke up to the rattles of heavy weapon fires as Pakistani troops attacked Dhaka University halls, the then East Pakistan Rifles (now Border Guard Bangladesh) headquarters, Rajarbagh Police Lines and the Old Town of Dhaka killing several thousand unarmed Bengalis.

People tried to resist the occupation army barricading streets felling trees and other things while members of East Pakistan Rifles and police put up a brave fight with outmoded 303 rifles against heavily armed Pakistani troops.

At midnight, the occupation troops raided the residential quarters of Dhaka University teachers and the halls and butchered many teachers and students.

Newspaper offices in Dhaka, notably Dainik Ittefaq, Sangbad and the People, were set ablaze for espousing the cause of the Bengalis.

In simultaneous attacks that night many people were killed and injured in the port city of Chattogram and at places across the country.

The crackdown set off the nine-month Liberation War led by the Mujibnagar government in exile which ended with the emergence of independent Bangladesh on December 16, 1971.

During the war, Pakistani occupation army and their local collaborators also violated more than two lakh women and about one crore people were forced to leave the country.

The government on March 21, 2017 declared March 25 as the Genocide Day following a parliamentary resolution adopted on March 11, 2017.

In his message, president Abdul Hamid said that the brutal genocide ‘Operation Searchlight’ carried out by Pakistani occupation forces on March 25 is a barbaric and tragic incident in the history of the Bengali nation.

He recalled with profound respect the martyrs of 1971 Liberation War.

He said that Pakistani occupation forces unleashed the brutal genocide simultaneously in Dhaka and all over the country including Dhaka University campus, Rajarbagh Police Lines, Pilkhana EPR (Now BGB), Jashore, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Saidpur, Cumilla, Sylhet and Chattogram.

In her message, prime minister Sheikh Hasina said that March 25 was the most dreadful day in the life of the Bengali Nation.

On this day in 1971, she said, one of the most horrific and brutal genocide of the world history took place in Bangladesh.

She extended her sympathy to the wounded freedom fighters and the members of martyr’s families.

Pakistan Army had Al Badr, Al Shams, Razakars and local collaborators with them to do all dirty works. So just 45000 is not the correct number.

It means no more Bengalis but a mix of East and west Pakistanis.
