"“Why should we feel sad when the Hindu brothers choose to leave our country? Do we mourn when we have indigestion and materials leave our bodies?”: Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, vice-president of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh and one of the prime accused in the 1971 genocide in Bangladesh. 16 Muslim organisations held a massive rally in 2013 in Kolkata in support of this war criminal when he was sentenced to death by Bangladesh. The rally was held at the same ground from where Jinnah-led Muslim League had announced ‘Direct Action Day’ (violence against Hindus) in 1946 to press their demand for Pakistan."
