Jamaat-affiliated student organization Islami Chhatra Shibir’s central president, Zahidul Islam, has stirred controversy by demanding a posthumous trial of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman for pardoning 195 identified war criminals. Speaking at a talk show, he claimed that the 1971 genocide was orchestrated by Tikka Khan and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto with direct support from Pakistan. “This massacre must be brought to justice,” he said. He further argued that since Mujib granted amnesty to 195 war criminals, he should be held accountable, even posthumously. Zahidul also praised Ziaur Rahman, claiming that he had initiated an inclusive political culture in Bangladesh by moving beyond partisan conflicts. He pointed out that Zia had appointed former anti-independence figures to key political positions as both President and Prime Minister.
