Hasina says Bangladesh must punish ‘lovers of Pakistan’

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has called on the people to punish those who ‘still love Pakistan despite being in independent Bangladesh’.
“The people of Bangladesh must respond to those who have been lost in their love for Pakistan. They must be punished. We must make them forget their love for Pakistan,” she told a Genocide Day event on Sunday.
“If we cannot do it, we will cease to exist,” she told the event organised by the Awami League at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in Dhaka to remember the victims of the genocide carried out by Pakistan on Mar 25, 1971.
Awami League President Hasina said Bangladesh moved backwards after the assassination of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975.
She called ‘lovers of Pakistan’ BNP founder Ziaur Rahman, who grabbed power after the assassination of Bangabandhu, and his wife Khaleda Zia, who is the current chief of the party.
“The entire history changed after ’75. Even the words ‘Pakistani occupation forces’ could not be uttered. People had to call them only ‘occupation forces’ in an effort to make them forget that the forces were Pakistani, such was the love for Pakistan,” Hasina scoffed.
The prime minister said those who came to power after 1975 never wanted the people’s fate to change.
“They did not want the country to progress. They were implementing the agenda of the Pakistani occupation forces.
“Pakistan would be happy if Bangladesh became a failed state and they (Bangladeshi rulers after 1975) wanted to make Pakistan happy,” she said.
She also mentioned HM Ershad, who came to power after Ziaur Rahman, and said, “All of them had the same agenda.”
Ershad, the chief of a key ally of the Awami League, now serves as a special envy of the prime minister.
