Syed Ali Geelani's Letter to Sheikh Hasina Wajid
Chairman APHC Mr. Syed Ali Geelani has requested the Bangladeshi prime minister to stop persecuting Jamat e Islami and to immediately release 90 year old professor Ghulam Azam along with the other Islamic leaders. In a letter to Sheikh Hasina Wajid the veteran leader said that the government action against the Jamat Islami leadership is uncalled for and can prove detrimental for the country. He sa...id that the cases of sedation that are being filed against Jamat islami leadership in the country are fictitious. He termed the government action as political vendetta. He said that the cases of war crimes were settled in the period of Sheikh Mujibur Rehman itself. Sheikh government after due investigation had held 195 officers as guilty of war crimes but they were later let off after a meeting of the external affairs ministers of India Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Bangladesh had charged 37471 persons under collaborators order but 34623 people were later let off due to lack of evidence. Cases were held against 2848 people among whom 752 people were charged as guilty. Government later declared a general amnesty in 1973. Mr. Geelani wrote to Sheikh Hassina that the people who were not even arrested during that operiod are now being charged after 40 years which shows that the actions are political in their nature. He termed it as direct violations of international laws and detrimental to the image of this country.
Geelani further added that the Jamati Islami leadership remained aloft from during the struggle for the creation of Bangladesh as it believed that if this country was carved out with India support it will become a satellite state of India. If Indian involvement was not feared the Jamat leadership would have n objection in participating in the movement.
Mr. Geelani said that the fears of Jamat leadership at that time are realities today .India during the past forty years has proved that it is not a friend but a foe of Bangladesh. If it would have been a friend it would not have sponsored an insurgency in Chitagong.
Mr. Geelani wrote to Sheikh Hasina that if India would have been sincere to Bangladesh it would have done justice in water distribution with the country.BSF would not have been killing innocent Bangladeshis on a regular basis. He said whatever the reasons behind the creation of Pakistan every muslim of the world .today wishes for a stable Bangladesh.
He said that Prof Ghulam Azam and other Jamat Islami leaders are well-wishers of the country ad their patriotism cannot be doubted. He further added that being 90 years old the health of Prof Ghulam Azam does not allow his persecution.
He said that the arrest of people for their political ideas is unacceptable in democratic setup. He requested the prime minister to allow jamat islami and other religious organizations to work in a democratic way. He also asked international agencies to intervene in the matter.
