Killer Al-Badar Militia was led by Motiur Rahman Nizami
(Moitya Rajakar the supreme Al-Badar commander)
Jamaate Islami organised its paramilitary force Al-Badr Bahini in
1971. During Bangladesh Liberation war , Motiur Rahman Nizami
(Moitya Rajakar) acted as the supreme commander of the Al-Badr
militia, which took part in various war crimes including killing of
hundreds of intellectuals around the country. As the leader of Al-Badr,
Nizami advocated violence against minority Hindus, and in an article
in the Daily Sangram published in 14 November 1971, Nizami claimed,
"It is our conviction that the day is not far off when, standing side by
side with our (Pakistani) armed forces , our youth will raise the
victorious flag of Islam the world over by defeating the Hindu Army
and finishing off Hindustan"
Motiur Rahman Nizami was the president of Jamaat's student front,
Islami Chhatra Sangha that formed the hard-core of Albadr militia and
carried out a wide range of attrocities in 1971 (during Liberation War).
The militant Islami Chhatra Sangha's hand was full of blood
& it's involvement in war crimes was so intense that Jamaat Islami
changed it's student-wing's name to Islami Chhatra Shibir (put on a
new mask after its revival in 1979).
Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan's (JUP) student wing, the Jamiat-i-Tulaba-i-Islam
still braggs about the "Heroic Jihad" by Islami Chhatra Sangha in 1971
to save Pakistan in it's propaganda literatures.
Jamaat leaders Golam Azam, Abbas Ali Khan, Motiur Rahman
Nizami and Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed launched a countrywide
campaign urging youths to join Razakar, Al-Badr and the Al-Shams forces
to fight the freedom fighters. The then home ministry reports to West Pakistan
about the activities of these forces.Speeches and writings of Jamaat leaders
published in their mouthpiece, the daily Sangram, in 1971 also demonstrate how
Jamaat, Razakars, Al-Badr, Al-Shams and peace committees functioned and
indulged in killings and atrocities ...
