DHAKA: Bangladesh has banned funeral prayers of those involved in ‘war crimes’ in 1971 war with Pakistan, local media quoted Liberation War Affairs Minister Mozammel Haque as saying.
Hoque argued that such funeral prayers were hardly held for any of the freedom fighters who had sacrificed their lives in the 1971 War of Independence, so there should not be any funeral for the ‘war criminals.’.
“Many freedom fighters [had] sacrificed their lives during the war of independence. No namaaz e janaza were held even for one per cent of them,” he was quoted as saying.
“Animals ate their decomposing corpses. That’s why no more namaaz e janazas of war criminals will be allowed in Dhaka after their execution,” Hoque clarified.
