Leave pro-Pakistan sentiments to do politics in Bangladesh

Information and Broadcasting Adviser Mohammad Mahfuz Alam has stated that political actors must renounce pro-Pakistan sentiments if they wish to engage in national politics, reigniting debate over the country’s wartime legacy and political divisions.

He made the remarks in a strongly worded Facebook post on Saturday night, asserting that the issue of Bangladesh’s 1971 Liberation War must be “resolved” and that war crimes collaborators must apologize.

“If you want to do politics in Bangladesh, you have to give up pro-Pakistan,” Mahfuz Alam wrote.

He said that Pakistan has committed genocide in this country. (Although Pakistan has officially apologized, and has agreed to apologize again, the accomplices of war crimes have not apologized yet). We must stop producing narratives in favor of genocide. We must stop sabotaging the July forces. We must come clean.

Mahfuz Alam said that the “Mujib Leftists” have no forgiveness. They are the brains behind the League's disappearances, murders and the anti-Modi movement in Shapla. They are the Thirty-Sixth Division. They did bad brokerage during July but are still in power. Till today, the “Mujib Leftists” is culturally and intellectually betraying July.

This adviser to the interim government also said that the “Mujib Leftists” is sitting in the country and conspiring against the pro-July forces. These B teams of the League will also be defeated soon. There is no point in relying on anyone else.
