Re: East Pakistan: Atrocity propaganda?
One must read the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report to get a fuller clearer picture.
Excerpts:
The Nature of Allegations
- According to the allegations generally made, the excesses committed by the Pakistani Army fall into the following categories:-
a) Excessive use of force and fire power in Dacca during the night of the 25th and 26th of March 1971 when the military operation was launched.
b) Senseless and wanton arson and killings in the countryside during the course of the “sweeping operations” following the military action.
c) Killing of intellectuals and professionals like doctors, engineers, etc., and burying them in mass graves not only during early phases of the military action but also during the critical days of the war in December 1971.
d) Killing of Bengali Officers and men of the units of the East Bengal Regiment, East Pakistan Rifles and the East Pakistan Police Force in the process of disarming them, or on pretence of quelling their rebellion.
e)Killing of East Pakistani civilian officers, businessmen and industrialists, or their mysterious disappearance from their homes by or at the instance of Army Officers performing Martial Law duties.
f) Raping of a large number of East Pakistani women by the officers and men of the Pakistan army as a deliberate act of revenge, retaliation and torture.
g) Deliberate killing of members of the Hindu minority.
It is a shame that an Islamic Pakistan couldnot keep itself united, mainy because of the West Pakistani’s rascist attitude(which still persists). Calling yourself Central Asian who are more Gora than the so called Kala Indians(Muslims ot otherwise). Is Javed Miandad a Central Asian? Bechara Kala Pakistani Hero. Was Muddasar Nazar Central Asian? Wo bhi kala tha(hai), aur ye bechara Nevved Ul Rana bhi kala hai(non Central Asian). Afridi is the real Pakistani hero(gora chitta, central Asian)!!! Parvez Mushrraf bhi gora to nahin.
Unless Pakistanis can give up their hatred for their own rality they will have more Bangladesh’s. In revenge you can try to tear away Kashmir from India, but even then you’ll keep hating the docile, peaceloving Kashmiris(gora as they may be).
