In 2015 Imran Khan, then an Opposition leader, asked the Bangladesh government not to execute the war criminals

While Imran criticised the then Pakistan government for violating human rights in Pakistan by executing many people, he tried to defend pro-Pak Chowdhury ahead of his execution in 2015.

Pak PM Imran Khan stand exposed as he has habit of peddling false propaganda from Kashmir to Bangladesh. His war mongering on Wednesday against India based on false claims is reminiscent of his request to the Sheikh Hasina government in 2015 pleading mercy for a war criminal based on false claims. 

In 2015 Imran Khan, then an Opposition leader, asked the Bangladesh government not to execute the war criminals for the sake of peace in the region and elsewhere in the world. Khan supported Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury seeking mercy for him based on false claim that Chowdhury was abroad when East Pakistani citizens were murdered by Pak Army and their Bangladeshi agents. This is contrary to the fact as Chowdhury was directly responsible for several killings ahead of the war in 1971.

While Imran criticised the then Pakistan government for violating human rights in Pakistan by executing many people, he tried to defend pro-Pak Chowdhury ahead of his execution in 2015. 

Chowdhury, has been described as a ‘young goon’ in Chittagong who led his gang along with the Pakistani forces into Hindu populated villages and killed at will during Pak Army brutalities that killed three million people in East Pakistan. In 1971, Salauddin unleashed a cold-blooded savagery on five Raozan villages in Chittagong, killing 111 Hindu men. 

Later he had openly mocked the Liberation War and its martyrs and gloated over his role as a Razakar, also became adviser of parliamentary affairs of Khaleda Zia in her 2001-06 government. 

Chowdhury was hanged along with another war criminal Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed (raised the most fearsome gang Al-Badr to exterminate the intelligentsia of the country in 1971. 

Pro-Pak Mojaheed was the president of Islami Chhatra Sangha, the then Jamaat-e-Islami's student wing, and towards the last part of 1971 and became the chief of infamous Al-Badr Bahini.
