মুজিব বাহিনী মুক্তি যুদ্ধ করেনি। মুক্তিযুদ্ধের সর্বাধিনায়ক বঙ্গবীর জেনারেল ওসমানীর সাথে প্রতারণা করেছিলেন তাজউদ্দীন সরকার
‘Mujib Bahini didn’t fight liberation war’
December 16, 2014
On December 16, 1971, MAG Osmani was eagerly waiting in Comilla to join the surrender ceremony at the Ramna Race Course and was communicating with the Bangladesh government-in-exile in Kolkata to get the clearance. But he did not get the clearance and later a visibly upset Osmani decided to go to his ancestral land, Sylhet, Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury — an organiser of the war of independence in 1971 and founder of Gonoshasthaya Kendra, who was accompanying Osmani that day — tells Khadimul Islam and Taib Ahmed in an interview with New Age

তাজউদ্দীন সহ তৎকালীন আওয়ামী নেতারা মুক্তিযুদ্ধের সর্বাধিনায়ক বঙ্গবীর জেনারেল ওসমানীর সাথে প্রতারণা করেছিলেন। তাই মুক্তিযুদ্ধের সর্বাধিনায়ক বঙ্গবীর জেনারেল ওসমানী পাক বাহিনীর আত্বসমর্পন চুক্তিতে উপস্থিত থাকতে পারেন নাই।
Osmani said ‘I am waiting for the reply from Kolkata. I wrote to the Bangladesh government in Kolkata and they have asked me to wait. I insisted on his going to Dhaka [even without any clearance from the Bangladesh government-in-exile]. I told him, ‘You are the joint commander of the joint forces. Pakistani forces will have to surrender to you.’ He replied, ‘Look, there is a democratic system.’ I told him again, ‘You are the commander-in-chief.’ He replied, ‘So what? I am under the government. I cannot make any move on my own unless the Tajuddin government gives the clearance. They [the Bangladesh government] asked me not to go there alone saying, “We will go there together.”’ Many claimed that they could not locate Osmani that time. It is a total lie. He was visibly upset. Osmani contacted them [Bangladesh government officials in Kolkata] even on December 16. Towards the afternoon of December 16, Osmani said, ‘Let us go to my ancestral land — Sylhet.’ Then Brigadier Gupta, who was in charge of the Indian helicopter, readily replied, ‘That is a good idea and the sky of Sylhet is clear as the Pakistani force has already surrendered in Dhaka.’
মুজিব বাহিনীর নেতারা এখন মুক্তিযোদ্ধা সেজে জাতিকে চেতনার কথা বলে। কিন্তু ১৯৭১ সালে মুজিব বাহিনী যুদ্ধে ছিল না। প্রমান দেখুন
New Age: Is the allegation true that the Mujib Bahini did not properly cooperate with the government of Tajuddin Ahmad during the liberation war?
Zafrullah Chowdhury:
The Mujib Bahini did not fight the liberation war.
It did not cooperate with Tajuddin Ahmad. The force, including people like Sheikh Moni, always tried to disown Tajuddin Ahmad. Sheikh Moni and others used to think that they could enjoy the right to rule the country in the absence of Sheikh Mujib and Tajuddin does not have that right. But Tajuddin has made great contributions to the liberation war. It is a matter of great misfortune that our constitution included the name of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman whereas it has not included names of Tajuddin Ahmad and MAG Osmani. It is really disrespectful to the whole war of independence.
New Age: Allegations also have it that in order to take control of the war, the Mujib Bahini often engaged in the clashes with the Mukti Bahini. Did such clashes upset the morale of freedom fighters on the ground?
Zafrullah Chowdhury: Clashes between freedom fighters and the Mujib Bahini took place at many places. The Mujib Bahini people used to say that their war would be waged after the independence. The morale of the freedom fighters was not harmed but they came to realise that India had a different design.
