We have never seen these men together due to any purpose. According to a freedom fighter of sector-2, there was a meeting held in Agartala near the sector-2 headquarters. That meeting was presided by Major Khaled Mosharraf (commander of sector-2, ‘K’ force & later Major General) and that meeting was attended by some sector commanders like Major Zia (commander of sector-1, ‘Z’ force & later Major General), Major A.T.M. Haider (trainer of sector-2 guerillas), Major Abu Taher (commander of sector-11 & later Cornel), Major Rafiqul Islam (later Major General), Major K.M. Shafiullah (commander of sector-3, ‘S’ force & later Major General) Major Mir Shawkat Ali (commander of sector-5, later Major General), Major M.A. Manjur (commander of sector-8 & later Major General) with some other ranked Lieutenants & Captains. This meeting basically held to discuss & analyze some important instructions those where given by the Supreme Commander of Mukti Bahini, General M.G. Osmani. That was probably the last event which could unite these Mukti Bahini mentors. This is 36th year running since the independence and we could not have any issue that can have our fellow sector commanders together.
Yesterday, Bangladesh Liberation War Sectors Commander Forum members, six sector commanders, (from left in the photo) Mir Shawkat Ali, K.M. Shafiullah, A.K. Khandaker, Kazi Noorujjaman, C.R. Dutta & Abu Osman Chowdhury have come forward together with their appeal to ban Bangladesh Jamaet-e-Islam & other alleged war-criminals of 1971 from election. Not only that, they have also declared of filing a case charging war criminals. This step has been taken after the day of Jamaet leader Ali Hassan Mujahid’s allegedly abusive speech against the spirit of Bangladeshi independence.
In general, alleging war criminals has been found as a regular spat from Bangladesh Awami League & other pro Awami League political parties since many years. Neither allegers, nor alleged men were seen to get serious on this issue in past ever. But this time, shouts against war criminals have been raised strongly. A positive side that Jamaet was holding this time was having less of their men under accusations of Anti Corruption Commission & other law enforcers, but this has been hit hard as Jamaet is now to answer allegations of war crime against them.
