Not exactly what you are stating about your PM. He was talking in the presence of your military who forced east Pakistan to seccede and become independent of the west.
PA is doing similar things in Baluchistan every now and then. Probably, the PM was indirectly telling the PA about the possible pitfalls if the PA troops keep on doing similar things it did in 1971.
I like you, so I know your statement comes out of misunderstandings. I hope you'll allow me to explain.
He was not talking in the presence of military, but the police, which is very much a civilian organisation.
His statement had nothing to do with the army, he is just a dumb fool who has nothing worthwhile to say. The country has had massive floods, and going through political issues, rather then provide calming statements, all his brain dead mind can make are empty statements that increase negativity.
There are politicians in Pakistan who make anti-establishment statements, to inflame issues, he is not one of them. He is just plain stupid.
Everybody loves to crap on Pakistan army without actually understanding anything other then sound bites, and then stuff keeps getting repeated no matter how false.
Pakistan army is not doing anything in Baluchistan, it is fighting members of certain tribes, there are people in the same tribes who are against those who are fighting, it's not so simple. Those groups have and likely still do the backing of foreign states and actors, chiefly India, but also Afghanistan, Iran, USA.
If Pakistan army was fighting with full force, it could have achieved the same success as it did in the tribal areas, and in the Pakhtunkhwa province. People do not appreciate how strong the fighters were in those areas, but Pakistan army succeeded.
In Baluchistan, they followed a different approach, but as in any conflict things go wrong and mistakes are made, it doesn't mean they are doing anything purposely wrong.
Regarding East Pakistan, I can understand the sensitivity of the issue, but allow me to make certain points, as I said everything is relative to what gets repeated and facts get brushed under the carpet, hidden away by everyone, which is a shame.
1. the first Marshall law declared in Pakistan was by a Bengali.
2. the official involvement of Pakistan army into politics happened when a army chief Ayub was also made a defence minister. This act was done by a Bengali.
Those are facts.
I am sure you understand that no one holds the eternal truth.
1. issues arise.,
2. you recognise the issues,
3. You search for solutions,
4. you try to create a final compromise,
5, you act on the solution.
All issues go through a process, from its inception to a solution, it takes time. it is a process.
1. Bangladesh parliament building was approved, designed and construction started under the watch of Pakistan army, under the rule of ayub khan.
2. that happened because in the early 1960s, it was recognised that there was a need for a second capital and Dhaka was to be the second capital, hence the construction of the parliament building.
Sometimes events can overtake the reality you live in, and that's what happened, and the rest as they say is history. Pakistan army has its faults, like other institutions around the world, but it is a good institution, with right intentions at its core.
