Download PDF The Sector Commanders’ Forum and pro-Liberation War political and social organisations will boycott the Victory Day reception party at Bangabhaban hosted today by President Iajuddin Ahmed and his wife, protesting invitation to anti-Liberation War forces.
They have also vowed not to attend any state function to celebrate the Victory Day if any anti-Liberation War force is invited there.
These political and social bodies include Awami League and its partners in the 14-party alliance, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal, Ekattorer Ghatok Dalal Nirmul Committee, newly formed Bangladesh Welfare Party, and South Asian People’s Union against Fundamentalism and Communalism.
Khandkar Delwar Hossain, secretary general of BNP loyal to its detained chairperson Khaleda Zia, also refused the invitation to the Victory Day reception as he has been invited there as an individual, not the party office bearer.
In October, Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mojaheed and known Jamaat-sympathiser and former Islami Bank chairman Shah Abdul Hannan described the Liberation War as a “civil war”. They also denied that genocide took place in the country in 1971 and that war criminals exist in the country.
Another Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Mollah said many freedom fighters took part in the Liberation War to gain wealth and other opportunities.
“We will boycott the reception at Bangabhaban if any anti-Liberation War force is present there,” former army chief Lt Gen (retd) M Harun-ar-Rashid told The Daily Star last night.
Lt Gen (retd) Mir Shawkat Ali, commander of sector-5 in the Liberation War in 1971, also expressed his solidarity with the view.
Rizvi Ahmed, BNP acting office secretary, told The Daily Star that inviting Delwar as an individual rather than the party secretary general is insulting for the leader. “Delwar Hossain has refused the invitation,” said Rizvi.
The Awami League at its working committee meeting also decided not to attend the reception at Bangabhaban if Jamaat leaders and war criminals are invited there.
Bangladesh Welfare Party chief Maj Gen (retd) Syed Mohammad Ibrahim also refused to attend the reception programme protesting invitation to the anti-Liberation War elements.

What we are seeing the division between Islamic
organisations and other group driven by hate.
Bangladesh is a Muslim Country & therefore we have to follow the guideline set by Islamic Laws
and by the HOLY Prophet Mohammed. People who disobey they will definitely invite wrath of ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY.
After the liberation of Holy City Of Makkah, The holy prophet could have annihilated the whole group of Jews & others who were the worst enemies of Islam but all were forgiven many of whom gradually accepted Islam.
Division will bring division & may creat a situation like Iraq ,ALLAH Forbids then how you will survive.
Bangladesh is just recovering from a deep calamity, instead of fearing ALLAH, they want to spread hatered & then in turn what punishment they will get.
Look at Pakistan , Kabul & world atlarge.
When men’s sins go high ALLAH bring disaster in the Country.Its not a fiction, ALLAH drowned the earth in Prophet Noah time. His Boat is now found on the mountain & now displayed in Turkey.
Sodom & Gomera destroyed site discovered near Oman. Feraun’s Charits were discovered in Red Sea.
This is the period of unite & not spread hate.
We donot want to see the further Killings in Bangladesh.
Talikng about Mukthi Bahinis, most of them are pretenders & liars & opportunities many of whom looted the country through daylight Robberies they wanted GUNS to create anarchy & not peace.
Read Holy Quran, listen to Islamic TVS & spread
universal brotherhood as Islam Propagated & not hate.
Many anti islamic group are awaiting an opportunity to robb the aid coming to Bangladesh.
May ALLAH save Bangladesh from the hands of Evils
who have devoured others properties by force & trying to bring destruction in Bangladesh.
Thank you.
