1 Differentiate between vanquished and war criminals. Are you in denial about the 1971 war crimes? War crimes need to be tried, in any case thats NOT an indian concern either way, right?
Jamat fought for pakistan, against India. Why are these people supporting those who fought for pakistan? What has that to do with India or indian muslims? What do you want other indians to think of those indians who support those who fought against indian army AND are rabid anti-indian to this date?
Mind you I support their right to hold that rally. But these maududi supporters are clearly willing to let their religious supremacism override their basic duties as an indian - support India. These people should not expect anything from India in return.
2. LTTE which fot against Indian army and even killed our PM. Still enjoys lot of support from our people. And that too they were separatists (Where as Jamatis there played different role), When i asked some Indian supporters of LTTE that why are they supporting a org which killed our PM some one here said, its Rajiv gandhi fault that he sent peace keeping army there. I consider what Rajiv gandhi did is 'NOT WRONG' because he tried to help a country not to break.
Now,
Jamatis fot for pakistan which was their country at that time, It was Indira unjust intervention which tried to break a country. Naturally Jamatis for for their country which happens to be Pakistan. I mean they did not fight for any third country against India. They just fot for their own country.
Brother national interest and justice are very important things some times national interest can go against justice but i don't support it. When you support National interest against justice you will never be able to question "enemy nations interest".
Compare LTTE supporters and Jamati supporters. People dont think LTTE supporters as traitors even though they were clearly in wrong side. Even if some one thinkgs LTTE is right to fight against SL still they fought our army plus they killed our PM still enjoys popular support.
Those maudid supporters are just supporting those Jamati counter part because they think them as innocent and political victims. Every Jamati of India know what jamat-e-islami teaches, preaches. Surely they can not rape. Whatever rape happened that time could be by some one else who supported pakistan or it could be a propaganda. But surely it can not be from Jamatis. There are plenty of books available by Jamatis which says rape is a crime punishable to death. You may accept it or deny it but this is the only reason they are rallying.
You should also note that their rally is not a support for
every view jamat-e-islami bangladesh has. It is just against their death penalty. You should not mix this with some other things. For example there are few pakistanis who raised voice for Hindus of pakistanis many Indians (including me) suport their views but in the same time he could be supporting pakistani view of kashmir.
