496 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্র : একাদশ খন্ড wanted to surrender have turned hostile. I am looking for this group. Similar reports have been received from deep inside Bangladesh. (3) Third reason is that some of own officers have started, declaring themselves to be commanders of liberated areas which is wrong. All Bangladesh officers are commanders of units or sectors only for military operations- and not for civil administration in the liberated areas; the task of which has already been given to the Zonal Council. There is, however, requirement of an army officer for each zone to remain in constant touch with own Zonal Councils who should be nominated by the Govt and friendly forces should be intimated as such. Numerous complaints are being received that members of Niamito and Gono Bahini are collecting taxes, lifting cattle, chicken etc for own consumption by intimidating the civil population. This cannot happen unless there is concurrence of respective commanders and we must find ways and means to stop this forthwith. Exemplary punishment in public is the only answer. c. About 95% of the Razakars are victims of circumstances. Same is the case of those people who had been in political parties other than Awami League. What is happening today is, that innocent people are being killed by the members of Niamito as well as Gono Bahini on the plea these people are Razakars, Muslim Leaguers and so on. Actually in most cases revenge or personal enmity is being taken. Even if a man has been helping Pak army-no one knows the tragic circumstances which forced him to work for them. I know one incident in which a young girl of 16 was raped and then sent to India to collect information keeping her younger sisters and parents as hostages. These are the hard realities of life in the occupied areas of Bangladesh and incidents of this nature are too many to be mentioned. Can we then afford to kill a Bengalee whatever he might have done— without proper trial? Can we deny the fact that the whole nation stood united for independence! If not then, we-as a hew nation must be able to search out-heart and find out the causes and circumstances which compelled many of our people to work against us. It is a fact that there are some real culprits but then it is not too many. If we want to establish law and order, peace and if we want to honor our freedom, imperative we take the following actions. Otherwise Bangladesh will be an Independent nation only for geographical identity where primitive savagery will domain. d. Suggestions (1) Police department be established. This force should be strong enough. Their dress, won and power to be immediately determined. (2) Govt. must announce that no Bengalee can be killed except for those decided by the Sector Comdr and civil affairs adviser. This does not include a person fighting with arms against Bangladesh Forces. But if captured that person should be sent as POW for proper and legal trial.
