“If you don’t recognise genocide as genocide, then you are keeping the door open for future genocides to happen,” Nuzhat Choudhury, daughter of martyred intellectual Dr Abdul Alim Chaudhury, said on Monday. Bangladesh nationally observes Mar 25 as Genocide Day commemorating those killed by the Pakistani occupation forces on that night. Justice Manik warned if the international community failed to recognise the 1971 genocide, similar genocide will take place. To stop that from happening, the wider world should stand up and recognise Bangladesh genocide as soon as possible. Prof Delwar who teaches at Dhaka University said the world has enough evidence to recognise the 1971 genocide.
