Farooq Tariq, Labour Party Pakistan, becomes 1st political leader to apologize formally in Dhaka for 1971 war crimes.
a good move indeed.
we need to have war memorial in bengladesh and every pakistan must be obliged to kiss that, bow it and say sorry?? is that what u guys want??
musharraf did an apology on behalf of all pakistan, now every pakistani doesnt need to sorry sorry to them esp in awami league government.
they will have false sense of pride and that they are important for pakistan, and they will not feel need to apologise the urdu speaking massacre
there are equally wa criminals there as there are in pakistan
Now what about an apology for the 1 million Biharis killed by the Mukti Bahini in Bangladesh?
I am a Bihari, & my father & his siblings grew up in Bangladesh & did their early schooling there. Most of my Dad's side relatives were in Bangladesh as well pre-1971. I have felt the events of 1971 impact me directly. My avatar is of my uncle who was in the Pakistan Air Force in Chittagong, who was killed in April 1971 by rebels & received Sitar-e-Jurat. My Dad just about made it alive to Karachi from Dhaka in 1971, my family had to leave their houses & everything else to make it to Pakistan alive.
What happened in 1971 is done. No apologies from Pakistan. I am happy they got independence, & I am glad they are not part of Pakistan today. Germany did not apologize for the events that led to WW2, neither did the Soviet Union. And even in that case, it's different, because there were atrocities committed by both sides.
