Those who threatened the student leadership in July are going against history, said Mahfuz Alam, advisor to the interim government of Bangladesh. He said, those who will oppose the liberation war have been defeated in the past because they went against oppressed Bangladeshis and their defeat is inevitable in the future.
He made this comment in a status on his verified Facebook account on Tuesday (January 28) evening.
The status is reproduced exactly as follows-
The liberation war means Bangladesh, the uprising of the students and the masses means Bangladesh. Criticize what happened after the liberation war. Review history. There is no problem. Even what happened during the liberation war can be argued. But all that will be done by accepting the liberation war. For example, we will talk about Sheikh Mujib becoming a fascist. He was a fascist. But like many national leaders, his contribution to the birth of Bangladesh is undeniable. Therefore, we will give due importance to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman before ’72.
A section of freedom fighters may be fascists, but the Liberation War was a struggle for all people. You cannot deny or question the Liberation War or all freedom fighters just because a section of freedom fighters became fascists, Islamophobic and murderers. This is treason against the foundation of the state!
We forget that the history of the next 10 years of the Liberation War was a history of struggle between fascist Mujibist freedom fighters and anti-India, patriotic freedom fighters.
But for that, no freedom fighter against hegemony dared to deny the Liberation War itself. This is the difference between the Pekingists and others.
Politics in this country must be done by acknowledging the bloody struggle of the people of this country and the birth of Bangladesh. If there is any deviation from this, we will not accept you as a force in favor of Bangladesh, in favor of the mass uprising.
And this mass uprising, after the Liberation War, an uprising against the fascist Mujibist project, an uprising against Baksal 2.0, but it is a historical continuation of the Liberation War. In this mass uprising, the Liberation War was reclaimed from the Sheikh family and the Mujibist project.
Bangladeshi supporters must be pro-Liberation War supporters, but it is also true that many who fought the Liberation War became fascists and fanatics. Today they have been defeated by the students and the masses. Those who will go against the Liberation War have also been defeated in the past because they went against the oppressed Bangladeshis, and are bound to be defeated in the future.
July has brought an opportunity to unite the nation. We were also interested in reconciling with the League by completing the trial. However, they chose to plot against the country from the shelter of Delhi. You too will not take a stand against history. To save the nation from division, we must move forward by unconditionally and unconditionally accepting ’71 and ’24.
Finally, July is a student-led uprising of all people in Bangladesh, regardless of religion, caste, or gender. This moderate and future-oriented uprising has no right-left, extreme or soft approach. Therefore, no one should try to tag or threaten the July revolutionaries in the external arena. Rather, make friends with the July revolutionaries.
July is in the line of mass uprising, on the side of history, you people who threatened the student leadership of July are walking in the opposite direction of history. Let us keep the nation united and participate in the democratic process by reforming the state.
