I believe TV was on in East Pak at the same time as West Pak or Bengali shows were being prepared for East Pak.
Also, I wonder what Radio Pak was reporting within East Pak during the days of agitation.
Media could have fooled the West Pakistanis but what was it presenting in East Pak.

What do you think about the authority of Radio Pakistan, when army was paralyzed. Moreover, State Media in Pakistan was always upto ‘sab acha hai’. Allegations (true or false) are also on account for Radio India.

For some time now India has been systematically interfering in internal affairs of Pakistan with clear aim of jeopardizing Pakistan’s territorial integrity. India has sent armed infiltrators into East Pakistan to create disturbances and to help anti-state elements. She has circulated false and highly distorted and tendentious accounts of events in East Pakistan through government-controlled radio and press. She has not only provided shelter to anti-state elements on her soil but has also persistently allowed so-called members of “Bangla Desh Government” to use her radio and other mass media to stir up rebellion against legitimate government of country.

East Pakistan – مدینہِ ثانی

There is a connected question? Indian movies were banned in Pakistan till 80s. Was this ban was effectively followed in East Pakistan (having connected borders with India)?

You mean between 65 and 71.

Also, what was the feeling of East Pakistanis during war with India in 65.
I have heard that they felt vulnerable.

Men and women, young and old in both wings of Pakistan stood united against the Indian attack. East Pakistanis (Bengalis) echoed the sentiments of their compatriots in the western wing and rose in unison against the Indian aggression. Unbelievable as it may sound today, that was the reality then.

From that to being a virtual colony and market of India with the Qaatil Hasina government playing India’s lap dog.

Pakistan is fast on this path also.

What has happened can’t be undone. If India has any role, that was provided by our own leaders. Our public still worship those people, who are blamed for all this. Bangladesh is not in that bad position. Its economy is growing. Unfortunately, Pakistani industries are shifting there

For those who put all blame on Punjab and its bureaucracy for separation of East Pakistan, the major role was played by Karachi based industrials who supported Bhutto for his actions, as they were afraid of Mujib’s 6 points and other demands which asked for autonomy and share of industries in East Pakistan. This business game has never been discussed actively. But as they say ‘jo ddosron ke liye gaRha khodta hai…’, the situation of Karachi’s industry is not that rosy today.

That is what happens when people don't take ownership of their country and are care-free.
Enemies are always out there watching like vultures for opportunities.
I guess Pakistanis deserve it for being lazy and careless ?
