If it's proven we were wrong in 1971, I will apologize to the nation- Jamaat Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman

Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, stated that he would apologize to the nation if any mistakes from 1971 are proven beyond doubt. He criticized the War Crimes Tribunal, calling its judgment a "Genocide of Justice." Speaking with Bangladeshi journalists in East London on November 19, Rahman also urged recognition of the victims of the 24th mass uprising as "national heroes," acknowledging the widespread participation in the movement. He discussed the nation's stagnation, blaming ethnic disunity and corruption, and praised the UK for its progress due to its low corruption levels.
