In September 1948 , Abdul Qayyum Khan Kashmiri , during his speech at the Provincial Assembly , said : “ I had imposed Section 144 at Babrra . When the people did not disperse , the shots were fired at them . They were lucky that the police ’s ammunition ran out ; otherwise , not a single soul would have survived . ” Then referring to four members of the opposition in the provincial assembly who were members of the Khudai Khidmatgar movement , he continued : “ If they were killed , the government would not have cared . ” In July 1950 , Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy , President of the Awami League , said at a large gathering in Dhaka , East Bengal ( present-day Bangladesh ) : “ The barbarous massacre of the Red Shirts ( Khudai Khidmatgars ) committed at Charsadda in 1948 surpassed the Jallianwala Bagh massacre committed by the British in 1919 . ” The massacre is commemorated every year by the Pashtun community on 12 August
