They are in a much better position than they would have been had they still been part of Pakistan. It is supremely saddening to hear of the atrocities we committed against them, and tbh, they are justified in their resentment against us. The power hungry 'leaders' we had at that time are definitely to be blamed for what happened, and it is proof of the innate stupidity of our nation that we still revere those individuals, and even their families.Meenahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348195452962303138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977264793210699300.post-30943017990415103162011-12-22T16:35:52.853+05:002011-12-22T16:35:52.853+05:00I don't know if you are referring to the 1970 ...I don't know if you are referring to the 1970 elections, but Bhutto first came into government as the Ayub Khan's handpicked Energy minister in 1958 and was very much on his side when he dubiously defeated Fatimah Jinnah. Bhutto then lost the elections and became CMLA, taking over from Ayub Khan after he resigned and subsequently crowned himself president.<br />I havn't actually heard him myself, but i was told he said "tangain to do ga", which is a metaphor of a different kind.<br />In any case, Mujeeb didnt have a two third he would have needed to put his 6 points into the constitution, you give Bhutto too much credit despite his history upto that point had been that of a power monger.<br />What he did in the UN wasnt even at the direction of Ayub Khan and he didnt release the report because it spoke of the atrocities that had taken place. In my view all this does make him guilty, and not only by association.<br />Of course there are many reasons why Bhutto did what he did, when someone enjoys the level of cult love he does, their always are reasons for shortcomings.<br />The point i wanted to make in the article was that not many in the print media today wrote the whole facts over the last week of so called mourning about the fall of Dhaka. <br />What should have been a genuine look back at ,and acceptance of, those horrors has turned into opportunistic bashing of just one of the parties involved and no lessons have been learned by anyone.Ali https://www.blogger.com/profile/02891274267581806835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977264793210699300.post-44541039034290093902011-12-22T15:54:04.872+05:002011-12-22T15:54:04.872+05:00I think I can answer some of these questions for y...I think I can answer some of these questions for you. When Bhutto was elected to government he came via elections, Ayub Khan (who was still CMLA) had defeated Fatimah Jinnah (very dubiously) in the general elections and was elected president. <br /><br />Secondly the 'idhar hum udhar tum' speech you are referring too is being misquoted. That line was a headline from the newspaper the next day that was wrongly attributed to Bhutto. There is a clip of the journalist admitting it on youtube somewhere.<br /><br />Bhutto lost the general elections and said he would refuse to be part of a parliament that would accept Mujibs six points. That does not mean he stopped the parliament from being called. That was Yahyas call not Bhuttos. And he didnt say 'I will break their legs', he said "They will have no legs to stand on' which you might know is a metaphor. <br /><br />Also that speech you refer to online was actually Bhutto getting Pakistan to recognise the state of Bangladesh. Call it reverse psychology or whatever but Bhutto did recognise Bangladesh as a country and made sure that the people were on board with the decision by campaigning for it. 'Iran, Iraq, Maghrib, sab musalmaanon ke saath achay taaluqaat chahtay hain, tau woh musalmaan jinhon ne humaray saath jadojehad ki thi...' you get the point.<br /><br />Also the Hamood ur Rahman Commission Report wasnt lost. It was sealed. Just like democracies around the world seal reports. I disagree with him for sealing it but that was his prerogative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
