@Tanvir S.

I think I know of something easy that would win the hearts of BanglaDeshis in one minute without offending any Pakistanis. It may be naïve but maybe not.

[Anwar Pasha - don’t read this.]

When Imran Khan visits BanglaDesh on a state visit as Pakistan’s future president or prime minister, he should address the BanglaDeshis and simply say in Bangla bhaasha that he and all Pakistanis are extremely sorry for all the atrocities committed in 1971 - without singling out the perpetrators. That would automatically implicate Pakistan Army, Mukti Bahini and Indian Army (if it was directly involved in any killing) without naming them.

That would give a good start to warming relations.

This could also be done in Pakistan at the inaugural of the monument I mentioned in the first post.

What do you think ?

Didn’t Musharraf also send his apologies when he visited there last time officially? Sheikh hasina is trying to raise the issue now and I know why because she wants money, but I am in favor of full reconciliation where mukti bahini’s role in butchering Pakistanis (non-benglis and bengalis) is also highlighted and visited upon in history. The point is that 1971 was no holocaust as the bangladeshi establishment likes to make it out to be.
