WCFFC submits objections to Jamaat registration
Tuesday, 28 October 2008
The War Crimes Facts Finding Committee (WCFFC), formed to probe atrocities during the 1971 liberation war, has stated formal objections to the registration of Jamaat-e-Islami as a party, reports bdnews24.com.
Copies of the statement have been submitted to the Election Commission (EC) and personally handed to the chief election commissioner (CEC), the committee's convener MA Hasan told the news agency Monday.
The WCFFC in its written statement said that the party had been pursuing politics over a long period illegally and unconstitutionally as a branch of a foreign party and organisation, Hasan told journalists after a meeting with CEC ATM Shamsul Huda.
A number of significant leaders of the party were involved in inhuman actions, war crimes and genocide during the liberation war through owing allegiance to Pakistan, he quoted the statement as saying.
These leaders did not confess to their wrongdoings or surrender to the Bangladesh government.
