PICTURE OF ATROCITIES
Karimganj, May 25 – A large number of young girls now lodged in several concentration camps in Sylhet District of Bangladesh serving as “call girls of Yahya’s dogs”, two professors from East Bengal told newsmen yesterday.
Giving a picture of the “grisly atrocities” being perpetrated by the Pakistan army on the inmates of these camps, they said “these young women are kept in scanty clothes without any saris and are subjected to the cartal desire of the army men whenever these brutes want an outlet of their passion”.
The two educationists who preferred to remain anonymous said, that the “occupation army in its frenzy of violence and oppression, had recently adopted a new device to slander the Bangladesh people and the freedom movement itself. The army men. They said, had been asking their hirelings to loot house and bazars and taking photographs. These photographs were now being sent to foreign countries for television shows with the misleading caption of “looting of non-Bengali houses by Bengalis” or “Hindus looting houses of Muslims.”
They also condemned the “heinous and motivated propaganda” of Radio Pakistan aimed at driving a cleavage in communal harmony. “The world will not be fooled” by this crude device, they said. PTI.
