War crimes accused Ghulam Azam at a meeting at Rawalpindi in Pakistan 18 days before the Victory justified the attack on Bangalees saying it was his duty.
“We [Azam and the organisations under his control] have assisted the Pakistan Government in taking measures against the separatists because it was our duty,” prosecutor Sultan Mahmud Simon yesterday told the International Crimes Tribunal-1 quoting the accused from newspaper report as saying.
Azam said this during the United Coalition Party’s (UCP) meeting on November 28, 1971 which was published at the daily Sangram, Jamaat-e-Islami’s mouthpiece, the next day.
Simon, while placing closing argument in the war crimes case, said Azam used to brand freedom fighters of the then East Pakistan as “separatists” and “anti-state elements”.
