DHAKA, March 26, 2019(BSS) – Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbub-
Ul-Alam Hanif today said Bangladesh is yet to get that international
recognition of Genocide committed by Pakistani occupational forces on unarmed
Bangalis on March 25, 1971 due to BNP-Jamaat conspiracy.

“Bangladesh is yet to get international recognition of the brutal attacks
carried out by Pakistani occupational forces on the innocent Bengalis on the
black night of March 25 in 1971,” he told journalists after paying a rich
tribute to the martyrs of the War of Liberation by placing wreaths at the
National Memorial here this morning, marking the 49th Independence and
National Day.

Hanif said, “It is a part of conspiracy of BNP leader Begum Khaleda Zia as
she raised question about the number of martyrs in the Liberation War. Begum
Zia showed favour towards Pakistan by raising question about the number of
martyrs.”

He also said it was not possible to get the international acknowledgment of
71 genocide due to negligence of all the governments which grabbed state
power after the brutal killing of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman in 1975.

“We have strongly raised our demand for realizing international
recognition of genocide under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina. We will realize our demand from the United Nations on March 25, 1971
genocide,” Mahbub-ul Alam Hanif said.
