I'll buy the argument that the operation was unpopular.

Good, because its very obvious.

Which is possibly one of the reasons for the government not acting sooner. However when an armed group starts abducting people and state officials, and burns down state property, they need to act. Was it tragic? Ofcourse. Was it all the governments fault? No, because you're being myopic to the people keeping women, children inside an armed complex.

A little sooner, the Govt was working with them. Remember a guy called Ijaz-ul-haq, Mushy's religious minister? Him and Ghazi were tyte.

The image of women and children dying is indeed powerful. Your theory is that Pakistan Army has irrevecably lost public support as a consequence? You say people who cheered on this 'genocide' shouldnt demand sympathies for the armed forces,

yes

what about you? Do you think the armed forces should be supported in any future operation, or will it take more time for you to recover?

what i think doesnt matter, lets stick to the masses. the pak army remembers the operation it started in east bengal I bet, and have learnt from their prior mistakes.

You went the tendentious route of asking whats correct. Please note that any assessment of correctness is always personal, you shouldnt attribute finality to it.
