'71 holocaust only second to Hitler's

Leading Indian journalist Manosh Ghose has said the massacre of Bangalees in 1971 is the worst since the holocaust perpetrated by Hitler in the Second World War.
The scenes and sites of the killing still horrify Ghose who extensively covered the War of Liberation of Bangladesh.
One of the worst killings he had witnessed was at Chachor Rajbari in Jessore on March 30 when a number of Bangalees was slaughtered and their bodies piled up.
Now the editor of India's newspaper The Statesman, Ghose, recently talked in an interview with the news agency ahead of Bangladesh's 39th Victory Day next week.
The veteran journalist also welcomed the move to try the criminals who committed crimes against humanity in 1971.
''Unless the war criminals are tried and punished, Bangladesh's social unrest and political turmoil and uncertainty will never come to a stop.''
Ghose was the first Indian journalist to enter Bangladesh on March 28 through Jessore frontiers, three days after Pakistani army's crackdown on Bangalees.
