Re: Aik aur latka diya Hasina nay…
That came to my mind that its post election phenomenon and army operation in March 1971 that turned the tables. Election were fairer, results were not digestible as usual.
Now the bold part is the catching phrase and connected with topic. While I was going through some pages online on 1971 war, I found that JI introduced Albadr and Alshams to equal the score from rival parties. Apparently, this fact is even mentioned in Pakistani text books taught in schools as per this link:
In-depth: What students are being taught about the separation of East Pakistan - Home - DAWN.COM
It appears that in East Pakistan Awami League and in West Pakistan PPP defeated JI very badly (did they have any successful electoral history before 1971 is another question which ajaz might know). A detailed break-up of winners during elections would prove that. So, a fact which even taken a place in text books of Pakistani schools say that JI was a major party to war crimes (Its another thing whether we agree or disagree that current punishment by BD govt are justified. Personally, I would say unjustified, but the final decision remains with people who suffered and as per reports there is a sizable population in BD which is for such punishment).
