You have to judge Mujib after clarifying your position regarding separation from Pakistan.
1) Do you support Bangladesh regardless Mujib or not Mujib and RAW or not RAW?
2) Do you support unified Pakistan East + West?
If you support position 1 then what Mujib did was the right thing. Reason, you need to make friends to defeat your enemy. Same thing we do with China to counter India.
If you support position 2 then everything Mujib did was a blunder. M_Saint, Md_Akmal, Luffy were known Rajakar. Al-Zakir is half Pakistani. Now you got to clear your position and disregard the opinion of this quadro.
What the heck does that mean ? To paraphrase Jinnah, 'Bangladesh is 'fait accompli' and it can never be undone !'. Having said that saying that the past is not as one-sided as Mr.Mujib and the People who worked with him would have you believe, isn't 'Betrayal of the existence of Bangladesh' ! It does exist...its there and we don't really want any reunion of any kind in Pakistan ! Partly because for some of us the wounds are still fresh because those who died or were captured in the East have still living relatives in Pakistan and partly because we realize now how big a mistake it was to go for an 'East and a West Pakistan' ! It should have been Pakistan and Bangladesh from the very start. But that said no one in Pakistan has any ill-will towards their Bangladeshi counterparts and we do appreciate that many of the assertions aimed at us had some element of truth to them; even the common Pakistani knows that and is pained by it but does the common Bangladeshi know that we weren't all butchers and rapists or that the Punjabis aren't an a bunch of uber-dominating, pompous a-holes and that one can pin everything that was ever wrong on a Punjabi's head ?
