General Niazi was one of the generals who led the occupation of Bangladesh (then, East Pakistan). This article tries to condone him from the charges of massacre and rape of the Bengali people during his tenure. There is no evidence that Niazi really condemned the crackdown of 25 March ordered by Tikka Khan. It was only after returning to Pakistan as empty handed prisoner of war did Niazi criticized Tikka and Rao Forman. Otherwise, he was as power hungry as those generals and had no less hatred towards the Bengalis. His book, The Betrayal of East Pakistan, is mainly aimed at portraying his image as a hero. It is not acceptable that he was the Military commander under whom Rao Forman Ali served and he did not know about the killing of the intellectuals on 14 December. Niazi himself admitted that he raised the Razakar forces, who were employed against the Mukti Bahini and were used to kill, terrorize people and destroy rural villages. His vows against the Indian Army and Mukti Bahini were notorious. |
