When Pakistan came into being in 1947, it was agreed that no province has the right to secede from the union at any point of time much like Indian constitution. East Pakistanis were as much part of Pakistan as any other .East Pakistan included Bengalees (majority), Biharis, Sylhetis, Chittagonians, Assamese, Chakmas and Rohingyas. We had right to settle anywhere in the country There were manifold economic opportunities We were just another province of Pakistan like Sindh Punjab So there was no need to demand special privileges for ourselves There was mutual economic benefit for us
Sheikh Mujib leader of Awami League was power hungry like Zulfiqar Bhutto and struck deal with RAW to support insurgents sent from India into Mashriq Pakistan which we now know as Mukti Bahini- the Agortola conspiracy case most probably in 1967 I guess. He was convicted and jailed which is why when Awami League won in '71 he wasn't allowed to become wazir e alam. But some Bangladeshis were credulous especially in the regions bordering India and were being fed propaganda against Maghrib Pakistan like looting us, stealing jobs which were baseless allegations of course.
We succumbed to false propaganda which eventually led to East Pakistan declaring independence and Mukti Bahini invading us as planned in 1967 aided by Awami League and attacking pro Pakistani Bengalis and Sylhetis who were like 90% They also targeted mohajirs like Biharis and killed them just because they supported Pakistan. They were killing innocent Bengalis, Sylhetis and Biharis. They werent freedom fighters. They were plain and simple terrorists.They raped women It was unforgivable act Mukti Bahini were threat to unity of Pakistan like BLA and PLA are nowadays Just few days some Sindhi Nationalist group burnt a girl alive Would you call them freedom fighters? They were terrorists and had to be eliminated
So the war began against Mukti Bahini Our family supported Pakistan because we loved our country very much We were patriot citizens We couldn't let anyone divide our country Plz understand If today CHT tries to secede BD Army would use the same force to curb separatism and eliminate the separatists No one would be spared Secession is not allowed under BD Constitution hope you know that . It was same situation '71
I am just saying do you really think we were suppressed in a country which was five times our size , where we had visa free travel and so many economic opportunities? Just think about it
