OP-ED: From the pages of history
Remembering the forgotten reports of the Hamoodur Rahman Commission
Judge Hamoodur Rahman, along with two Pakistan High Court judges, worked tediously for five years and was able to submit the final reports on the Pakistan military’s failure since they launched the notorious “Operation Searchlight.”
However, the report lies buried, with little or no accountability; the report never saw the light of day and was kept as highly classified documents in fear of backlash.
The Hamoodur Rahman Commission (also known as the War Enquiry Commission), assessed Pakistan’s military involvement from 1947 to 1971. The commission was set up on December 26, 1971.
