Leaders Want Judicial Inquiry.
(By A Staff Correspondent)
It is with a strong sense of resentment and indignation we condemn the wanton police atrocities that have been perpetuated upon peaceful and unarmed student demonstrators in Dacca yesterday (Monday). We are extremely shocked at the unproved and wreck less acts, Eyewitness account of the incident discloses that the police took the offensive in attacking unarmed students and members of the public and abruptly opening fire on them.
The peaceful intention of the students was amply demonstrated when they did not violate section 144 Order that was earlier imposed on September 10.
“We felt that the Govt. cannot justify why under such peaceful circumstances the military was called in and why before the promulgation and public announcement of section 144, peaceful processionists were chased, beaten and brutally assaulted, and fired upon and why in the early morning the various halls, hostels and colleges surrounded by police and members of EPR, and teargas thrown in educational institutions.'
The indiscrete acts of the Government have created widespread resentment in the country. We urge upon the Government to order an immediate judicial inquiry presided over by a High Court judge to enquire into tragic happenings. We further demand immediate release of the detained persons and payment of adequate compensation lo the families of the deceased and injured.
We feel constrained to remind the Government to realize the gravity of the situation and the frightful consequences of such indiscrete acts and urge upon the Government to accept the just demand of the students and their guardians.”
The statement was signed by Messrs. H. S. Suhrawardy, (2) Nurul Amin, (3) Ataur Rahman Khan, (4) Abu Hussain Sarkar, (5) Sk. Mujibur Rahman, (6) Yousuf Ali Choudhury (Mohan Mia), (7) Mahmud Ali, (8) Mohsenuddin Ahmed (Dudu Mia), (9) Syed Azizul Huq, and (10) Shah Azizur Rahman.
