The representatives also condemned the brutal police/paramilitary operation resulting in the death of scores of innocent civilians including children and women of all ages. The siege by the police force that lasted for several months was an ordeal of worst form of human rights violations witnessed by the 1.7 million inhabitants in its entire history including the periods of military dictatorships of the past.
Participants also condemned in the strongest terms the opportunistic policies of the then ruling Pakistan Govt. and President for selling out lives of Bengali Muslims and other Hindu inhabitants of
