Trial of razakars

The growing public demand from all quarters for trial of war criminals in Bangladesh has finally yielded some positive results. The present government has decided to enact some laws which would prohibit the razakars or war criminals from contesting the national elections. One of the Election Commissioners conveyed this good news in his recent press briefing. He further said that the EC's new law would bar the razakars who were proven to be so.
We do not need any references or anybody's certification about the creation of razakar force during the War of Liberation because many of us who suffered and witnessed the activities of razakars are still alive. We saw how Razakars were associated with many of the atrocities committed by the Pakistan Army during the 9-month war (see 1971 Bangladesh atrocities).Initially, the razakars were under the command of local pro-Pakistani committees. But through the East Pakistan Razakar Ordinance (promulgated by General Tikka Khan on 1 June 1971) and a Ministry of Defence, Pakistan, ordinance (promulgated on 7 September 1971), razakars were recognised as members of the Pakistan Army.
History cannot be made or erased by anyone. I quote some examples here. Following the liberation of East Pakistan most of the leading razakars, including Ghulam Azam, fled to Pakistan. Although Ghulam Azam maintained that he went to Pakistan to participate in the Annual General Meeting of his organisation Jamaat-e-Islami, he remained overseas until General Ziaur Rahman allowed him to return to Bangladesh. Many of the lower ranking razakars who remained in Bangladesh were killed in the course of reprisals immediately after the end of fighting while as many as 36,000 were imprisoned.
I am sure there are plenty of evidences against the collaborators. I suggest the govt get some help from the Website "Wikipedia" where a short list is available.
In 1992, after restoration of democracy, an unofficial “Court of People” (Bengali: Gonoadalot) “sentenced” Ghulam Azam and his ten accomplices to death for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Jamaat-e-Islami was already a part of the ruling four-party alliance in Bangladesh and so the “verdict” was ignored. Moreover, the then BNP government returned Bangladeshi nationality to Ghulam Azam, as it had been taken from him after the war. Subdued during the rule of Awami League from 1996-2001, the Jamaat returned in full force after the next election in October 2001 in which a four-party alliance led by BNP won.
The razakars are still working in this country. They are helping extremists to grow.
They want to make Bangladesh a failed state. Time is ripe to hit now while the whole nation is demanding war criminals' trial.
