President of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday said that the Pt. Sunderlal Committee Report, which recorded murder and excesses on Muslims during Operation Polo, is a fact that must be accepted.
Mr Owaisi was speaking at a public meeting to celebrate ‘National Integration’, which followed a massive Tiranga rally in which patriotic slogans were raised and the tricolour displayed.
“This is a part of history that cannot be denied,” he said and later quoted a passage from the Selected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru in which he commented on the subject. “The Razakars committed atrocities on Hindus and the Hindus committed atrocities on Muslims,” Mr Owaisi said and added that then Prime Minister Nehru had commissioned the Pt Sunderlal Committee, which recorded up to 40,000 deaths of Muslims at the time of Operation Polo.
