Operation search light
It was a planned killing, a military extermination done by the then West Pakistan armies.They tried to eliminate even the root of East Pakistan ’s people so that they never could be able to stand against them.
All of these were done according to the order of West Pakistan . Most likely nothing but a sequel of “Operation Blitz” that was happened in
1970. The West Pakistan wanted to capture the most of the East and then they would kill the political, officials, teachers and all man of words but their all tries were came to vain. People of Bangladesh raised their voices against them and inhibited them. The violence resulting from Operation Searchlight was one of the precipitating factor for Indo-Pakistan War of 1971, which led to full fledged Indian retaliation augmented by the Mukti Bahini on Pakistani occupation forces in Bangladesh , resulting in Pakistan Army's unconditional surrender to the joint command of Indian Army and Mukti Bahini on December 16, 1971.
Unlawful killing, rape, torture and violation:
The actual scene of the war
The West Pakistan never thought that was only the beginning of a war. From the OPERATION SEARCH LIGHT to 16 DEC, 1971, there was unlawful, widespread violation of human rights in the East Pakistan . All of there were happened by the order from West Pakistan . Also some local people and political personnel helped them. They are the war criminals and we called them RAJAKAR , AL -Badr, Al- shams. Bangladeshi authorities claim that 3 million people were killed,[while the Commission. The international media and reference books in English have also published. A further eight to ten million people fled the country to seek safety in India .
The Al-Badr, Al- Shams killed a large number of people of intellectual community. There are still undiscovered graves and now we are discovering new graves, till now!! At the first night of war indiscriminate killing was found on students of Dhaka varsity and other communities.
Numerous women were tortured, raped and killed during the war. The exact numbers are not known and are a subject of debate. Bangladeshi sources cite a figure of 200,000 women raped,
giving birth to thousands of war-babies. The Pakistan Army also kept numerous Bengali women as sex-slaves inside the Dhaka Cantonment. Most of the girls were captured from Dhaka University and private homes. There was significant sectarian violence not only perpetrated and encouraged by the Pakistani army but also by Bengali nationalists against non-Bengali minorities, especially Biharis.
