Our Slogan: "No War Criminals in Bangladesh Parliament"
The nation today celebrates the 37th anniversary of its glorious victory over the Pakistani occupation forces after nine-month-long Liberation War. On the eve of 37th Bijay Dibash - victory day - former freedom fighters Forum, Secularists in Bangladesh, Tritiomatra Org and International Forum For Secular Bangladesh have stepped up campaign against Islamist parties contesting the Dec 29 polls as many allege they had collaborated with Pakistani authorities in killing unarmed civilians in 1971.
Their principal target is the Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), the country's largest Islamist party, and a combine of smaller parties who are in alliance with two-term prime minister Khaleda Zia.
Besides wooing the voters, the secularists are critical of the Election Commission that committed initially, but shied away from debarring the Islamists from fighting elections, mainly because the military-backed caretaker government of Chief Advisor Fakhruddin Ahmed has promised an all-inclusive parliamentary poll.
'Another war round the corner, 37 years after,' The Daily Star newspaper said Tuesday, which was also 'Bijoy Dibash' the victory day when the joint forces of India and Bangladesh entered Dhaka and effected the surrender of Pakistani soldiers.
Media reports marking the occasion recalled that the JeI and other Islamist parties had been banned when the country became free. Brought back to political arena by slain president Ziaur Rahman, Khaleda Zia's husband, they continue to be led by 'collaborators of the Pakistani Army' and documentary proofs exist against them, a report said.
Among those accused of 'collaboration' are JeI's Amir (chief) Motiur Rahman Nizami and secretary general Ali Mohammed Mujaheed. Both are contesting election.
Prior to the celebration of Victory Day, the sector commanders and other Liberation War forces have already identified 14 candidates as war criminals in the BNP-Jamaat alliance.
The secularists want that the 'war criminals' be debarred from the poll. They take heart from the Election Commission's move to debar war criminals from polls and included a provision in the Representation of People (Amendment) Ordinance, 2008.
The provision states: 'A person shall be disqualified for election as or for being a member if he has been convicted as war criminal by any national or international court or tribunal.'
But the move to debar war criminals from polls fell flat on its face as the government has not initiated a move to officially identify them.
Former army chief Lt Gen (retd) M. Harun-ur-Rashid told The Daily Star: 'The government has neither initiated any move to identify war criminals nor even informed the Election Commission about them though the government has many old records and documents in this regard.'
The largest online organization Tritiomatra.Org has also supported on this very special day the slogan “No War Criminals in Bangladesh Parliament”.

21 February
International Mother Language Day
The UNESCO has proclaimed February 21 as the International Mother Language Day. The proclamation came in the form of a resolution unanimously adopted at the plenary of the UNESCO at its headquarters in Paris in November 1999.
The first International Mother Language Day event was opened on February 21, 2000 in Paris by the Director-General of UNESCO Koïchiro Matsuura who stressed that "by deciding to celebrate mother tongues, UNESCO's Member States wished to recall that languages are not only an essential part of humanity's cultural heritage, but the irreducible expression of human creativity and of its great diversity."
Highlighting the fact that close to 6000 languages are estimated to be spoken in today's world, Mr Matsuura said: "They testify to humanity's astounding ability to create tools of communication, to its perception and reflection. They are the mirror of the souls of the societies in which they are born and they reflect the history of their contacts. In this sense, it could be said that all languages are cross-bred."
