Sheikh Mujib's Lies and his Rise and Fall

 

Abid Bahar

 

In addition to the 300, 000 killed by the Pakistanis turning into three million, as Serajur Rahman of BBC recently exposed, Sk Mujib's other lies were also recorded in history. In Tofazzal Hossain Manik Mia's book listed below Mujib was recorded as a lier who was instrumental in the dissolution of the United Front. During election times he was known to have fist fight with the opposition candidates. Bhasani for saying "assalamu alikum" to Pakistan, as the Suhrowardhy goon Mujib dropped rock from the stadium top over Bhasani who dashed to safety.

 

During the Pakistan period Mujib lied that the paper that was produced in Chandraghona Paper Mill was required to be sent to Karachi to be stamped and returned to be sold in then East Pakistan with a much higher price. I remember this story (lie) alone boiled my blood against the Pakistanis. I am sure there were many like me who trusted and consumed his lies. His minister Mansur Ali signed and Mujib and India saying the Farakka Dam was opened for 7 days. Then he instead of a clear declaration or independence through negotiation as in South Sudan or and Chek and Slovakia, he gave the "if speech" and ended his speech with Pakistan zindabad creating confusion among many Bengalis who within a short period of time couldn't change their allegiance to Pakistan. In the end he didn't declare independence. When the Pakistanis came to arrest him on the 25th of March he said" There was no need to come to arrest me, I could have been there at the cantonment. Referring to Mujib's confusing moves, Abul Mansur Ahmad says, "I did not understand Mujib then, I do not understand him now.Mansur Ahmad narrates: "Sheikh Mujib surrendered without resistance. He did not try to escape nor hide himself." Mansur Ahmad questioned "Is this the way the leader of a people fight against opposition?"

 

This is the way the tricky absentee Mujib became the father of the nation. This is the story of the AL's cadre based politician, founder of the Chatro League, and now the Al's "Father of the nation." 

 

There is also the Shahed Ali story, the chair that hit the Deputy speaker Shahed Ali to death.  I am sure when the freedom fighter Majors headed by Faroque arrived to the house of Mujib to take Mujib the BKSAL dictator away, in those last few movements he must have remembered his lies that led him to his rise to fame and then like a castle in the sky to his fall as a cruel dictator, who killed over 30 thousand people in only three years.

The director in charge of the Radio station was Kamal Lohani recorded that Mujib personally warned Lohani not to give Bhasani grand coverage as a hero at Bhasani's return from India. He was very annoyed with Lohani. But openly Mujib showed great respect for Bhasani. It seems that the clever Mujib used Bhasani whenever needed.

So, Mujib actually exaggarated or lied to the world with the numbers about the death in 71? Or, due to mental deliquency, he skewed up the number 3 million or 3 lakh?   For 40 years, we were forced to believe these lies?     --- On Wed, 5/25/11, Isha Khan <bdmailer@gmail.com> wrote: From: Isha Khan <bdmailer@gmail.com> Subject: [notun_bangladesh] RE: Mujib's confusion on Bangladeshi deaths To: Date: Wednesday, May 25, 2011, 10:03 PM   ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Zoglul Husain <zoglul@hotmail.co.uk> Date: Thu, May 26, 2011 at 1:34 AM Subject: Serajur Rahman: Death toll 3 lakh in 1971 war Serajur Rahman, retired deputy head, BBC Bengali Service, London, expressed his surprise and horror at Mujib's figure of 3 million Bangladeshi war dead (because of Mujib's wild exaggeration).  However, there are people who think that the figure of 3 million was prompted to Mujib by India. Even after 40 years of the war, there has been no national or international field investigation to determine the death toll figure. Even if it is done now, it has to be done objectively, without political bias and with no scopes for distortions. The published figures, so far, vary greatly. The Hamoodur Rahman commission of Pakistan put the figure as low as 26,000 civilian casualties, whereas published books vary with figures between 200,000 and 3 million.   -------------- Isha Khan wrote: Mujib's confusion on Bangladeshi deaths The Guardian, Tuesday 24 May 2011 Ian Jack (21 May) mentions the controversy about death figures in Bangladesh's liberation war. On 8 January 1972 I was the first Bangladeshi to meet independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman after his release from Pakistan. He was brought from Heathrow to Claridge's by the Indian high commissioner Apa Bhai Panth, and I arrived there almost immediately. Mujib was puzzled to be addressed as "your excellency" by Mr Panth. He was surprised, almost shocked, when I explained to him that Bangladesh had been liberated and he was elected president in his absence. Apparently he arrived in London under the impression that East Pakistanis had been granted the full regional autonomy for which he had been campaigning. During the day I and others gave him the full picture of the war. I explained that no accurate figure of the casualties was available but our estimate, based on information from various sources, was that up to "three lakh" (300,000) died in the conflict. To my surprise and horror he told David Frost later that "three millions of my people" were killed by the Pakistanis. Whether he mistranslated "lakh" as "million" or his confused state of mind was responsible I don't know, but many Bangladeshis still believe a figure of three million is unrealistic and incredible.
