1947 : how sylhet became part of Pakistan


Can someone translate the whole video for international members. This debunks facts that Sheikh Mujib was anti Pakistan etc
I am not translating the commentator's statements because it has put almost all the credits on Sk. Mujib and has intentionally forgot to utter even the name of Mawlana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani by whose tireless efforts the Sylhet Referendum took place. Bhashani was an Assamese and was an elected MP somewhere in Assam. He played the strongest role by demanding a plebiscite and as a result, Sylhetis took the opportunity to vote in favor of becoming a part of (east) Pakistan.

Sk. Mujib was certainly a great Muslim League activist under H.S. Suhrawardi, but he was still a school student. Although he, with his group, came to Sylhet/Karmiganj to work for the referendum that helped but he was not a local leader. He was from a far away Faridpur/Gopalganj/Tungipara.

Nowadays, Hasina talks as if her father was really involved in the Agartala Conspiracy, which is incorrect. Now, another BAL commentator has come out with another distortion where he does not even mention the name of a Muslim League Assamese MP called Mawlana Bhashani.

I am very sad to watch this video with distorted one-sided comments and deviation from the truth. Please read the wiki citation below:

"A-------- participant of the Khilafat Movement protesting the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire he led the Muslims of Assam in a successful campaign during the 1947 Sylhet Referendum, through which Sylhet chose to become part of the Pakistan national project".

"He was the founder and President of the Pakistan Awami Muslim League which later became Awami League (AL). Later however, owing to differences with the right-leaning leaders in the AML, such as Shahid Suhrawardy, on the issue of autonomy for East Pakistan, he formed a new progressive party called National Awami Party (NAP)".

"He also differed with Suhrawardhy when he as Prime Minister of Pakistan decided to join the US-led defence pact CENTO and SEATO. He disagreed with Pakistan's growing ties with the United States".

Please also note that it was Mawlana Bhashani who was sent to China by the then Pakistan PM HS Suhrawardy sometime in 1957 (probably). Mujib accompanied him. But, Hasina type of stupids would say that it was Mujib who initiated relationship with China. All bloody Bakwas.

Pakistan ka Matlab Kiya

La Ilaha Illallah.
'Pakistan ka Matlab---' was to establish one or two countries with majority Muslim population where they would struggle hard to develop and build up their single or respective countries.

But, are we following what our forefathers wanted of us? Are we developing or are we wasting all our money and energy on stealing and military buildups that cause people to remain jobless and hungry and the countries to remain underdeveloped.

I do not think this was the Matlab for creating a Muslim majority country where people love to put meaningless jargon slogans in the front instead of development slogans. No wonder, we remain at the lowest rung. The two countries systemically borrow money from the Christian and Buddhist lending agencies and countries that our politicians then steal. Was it the Matlab?

You still in peeking mode or moved to sticking around mode?

How far are we from a hilsa-related jibe surfacing?

What are you talking about? Sylhet was always a part of Bengal Sultanate and Mughal time. During Mughal period Assam invasions were made via our Sylhet. It was added to Assam by the British for the administrative ease. Sylhet came back to Bengal, thanks to Mawlana Bhashani.

Arakan should have also been a part of east Pakistan. But, the influential families like those of AK Khan or Fazlul Quader Chowdhury of Chittagong, many of whom were from Arakan in the near past, did not struggle for it the way Bhashani did for Sylhet. Arakan was a Protectorate state under the Sultanate of Bengal for quite a few centuries and Assam was a part of Bengal.

There'll come a day when Sylhetis will rise up and overthrow the HASBEENa regime and rename Bangladesh to Greater Sylhetistan, a fortress of Islam and piety.

@Michael Corleone, please note that some Pakistanis are making only fun about Sylhet by saying this and that. Better not to provoke them while answering them. They still like their east Pakistan.
 
Do they claim to be different than Pakistanis?
.
Say That when your people can freely travel across the regions without permits. Case in point; waziristan
Or the Balochs y’all have launched multiple military crackdowns over
