Re: Consensus & The Dam
Zakk Baboo, It is easy to talk trash about one ethnic group or the other.
Kapitaan Ji, You ought to know the details. Bhutto (A Sindhi) won in Punjab, so no one can accuse Punjab for racism. It is however racist to blame Punjab without proper analysis.
Bottom line is that Awami League suffered major defeat in "every single" province of the West Pakistan. If Mujib wanted a consensus government, why did he not form "pre-poll" alliances with Balochis, Sindhis, and Pushtoons. The reason was clear, Mujib's agenda didn't suite anyone in Sindh, Balochistan, and Frontier.
It was clear as a day to everyone in the West that Mujib was not a trustworthy partner. History now shows that even Bengalis didn't trust him. Look what they did to his entire family (minus one).
Kapitaan Ji, I fully agree what you said that "everybody must be respected and receive justice, treated equally.... anything outside (preferential treatment) will only damage the country."
You know in your heart that some minorities are demanding "preferential treatment" and they are getting away with that.
Best regards to Zakk baboo, Kaapitan Ji, and the rest.
