Imran Khan demands apology from Pakistan to Bangladesh

[Adeel]

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has demanded an official apology from the Government of Pakistan to the people of Bangladesh for the atrocities allegedly committed by the Pakistan Army in 1971.

Imran Khan stunned everyone during a live television show hosted by Hamid Mir on Geo News and Geo Super TV channels on Wednesday afternoon just a few moments before the start of a cricket match between Pakistan and West Indies in Mirpur, Bangladesh.

Hamid Mir invited Imran Khan in his live TV show on March 23, which was Pakistan Day. He asked a question to Imran Khan about the expected behaviour of Bangladeshi crowd in Mirpur. Imran Khan said that Bangladeshis will support the Pakistani cricket team.

Hamid Mir informed Imran Khan that today (March 23) is Pakistan Day and Bangladeshis will support Pakistani cricket team Dont you think that the time has come that the Pakistani government must apologise to the people of Bangladesh for Army operation in 1971? Imran Khan immediately agreed with Hamid Mir and said that previously he was also of the opinion that Army operation was a good thing because there was no independent media in Pakistan in 1971. Imran Khan said that when he went to England in 1971, his Bengali friends told him the reality of the Army operation. Imran Khan said that he experienced the love and affection of Bangladeshis during an exhibition match in Mirpur in 1989.

He said that the Army operations always created hatred in Pakistan and we must apologise to Bangladeshis. Responding another question, Imran Khan said we must learn lessons from our past mistakes and we should not repeat these mistakes in Balochistan and tribal areas where we have started Army operations on the US pressure. Cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan is the first ever Pakistani dignitary who has demanded an apology from Pakistan to Bangladesh on a live TV show in Pakistan.

well done to him.
I would suggest, he must pay visit to bangladesh and apologies on behalf of Pakistan for the crimes of so called politicians and generals at that time.
A since apology may not make bagladeshi's forget the sadness of their partition, but might act as ammolient.

Most Pakistanis cry foul when it comes to transgressions committed by the West e.g. drone attacks, pictures taken with dead Afghans by US soldiers etc.

But, when it comes time to do some self-reflection, a lot of them sadly fall prey to the same disease.

Human nature will always be human nature. If the oppressed gets a chance, he will not waste any time to be the oppressor.

Good move Khan (clap)

Imran would make a good leader as he knows who are friends and foes

Aaj kul Imran bhai key pass koi aur kaam nahi hai kiya, jo ho gaya us ko bhool gao, mafian talfian karney ka koi faida, jo karney waley kaam they woh to bhai kar nahi payey ab kis taraf logoun ko laga rahey hain.....lolzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[GeoG]

Nawaz Sharif has already done so during his visit to Dhaka.
If Govt of Pakistan does that, you will be liable for tens of billions in compensation, in international court of justice.
Don't open this new chapter as it will not help in any improvement in our bilateral relations.

Bangladesh is yet due to apologize for allowing Mukti Bahni and free hand to Indian operatives.

I was thinking the same yesterday night , I will soon write an article on it.

Fall of Dhaka was more due to PUNJABI Bureaucracy than Bengali leaders.

More over ,
General Rani acted as a bridge between Bhutto and Yahya so as to bring collateral benefit to both of them.


If you ever read Hammod ur Rehman commision report , the recommendations by the report were as following :

The Commission recommended Court Martial of the following officers:
(1) Lt Gen A.A.K. Niazi, ex Commander, Eastern Command

(2) Maj Gen Mohammad Jamshed, ex-GOC 36 (ad hoc) Division,

(3) Maj Gen M. Rahim Khan, ex-GOC 39 (ad hoc) Division.

(4) Brig. G.M. Baqir Siddiqui, ex COS, Eastern Command, Dacca

(5) Brig Mohammad Hayat, ex Comd. 107 bde. (9 Div)

(6) Brig. Mohammad Aslam Niazi, ex Comd 53 Bde (39 Ad hoc Div.)

BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can be expected from a stupid ............................thats where he lacks the qualities of a leader..............he is not corrupt like others but he is stupid and sometimes tries to b more loyal than the king.

Why should pakistan Government apologize for it..............They should apologize us for favoring India against Pakistan.

They supported Indra Ghandhi.................from Pakistan side its not the crime of a nation if some atrocities happened to them due to some army people, its their personal fault and those person should have been dealt with according to law which never happened.

Leader banney k liaey qaum ko mujrim bna raha he stupid khan.

 

[aneeskhan]

Bangladesh or atleast awami league should appologise for conspiring against pakistan with india with help of USSR,USA,GB a daylight reallity,massacring thousands innocent pro pakistani civilians including bengali,s ,its not one hand clapping,yes yahya,niazi were stupid coward generals compare with tikka,ayub who were winner,its not one hand clapping,we should never wellcome anti pak staements likely lively nations america never appologise for atom bomb,or other wars.,INDIA do regret over kashmir zulm?

Dear abbasiali,

Please do not do criticism just for the sake of criticism!

Just think about the background.... This was not a press release by Imran Khan. He just responded to the anchor's question:

"Hamid Mir informed Imran Khan that today (March 23) is Pakistan Day and Bangladeshis will support Pakistani cricket team “Don’t you think that the time has come that the Pakistani government must apologise to the people of Bangladesh for Army operation in 1971”? Imran Khan immediately agreed with Hamid Mir and said that previously he was also of the opinion that Army operation was a good thing because there was no independent media in Pakistan in 1971. Imran Khan said that when he went to England in 1971, his Bengali friends told him the reality of the Army operation. Imran Khan said that he experienced the love and affection of Bangladeshis during an exhibition match in Mirpur in 1989."

Regardless of past mistakes done by East Pakistanis and West Pakistanis, Bangladeshis are our Muslim brothers and we must try to keep brotherly relationship with them.

Dont you think the Army should apologise to the people of Balochistsn for launching an operation on them?
Dont you think the Army should apologise to the people of Karachi for launching an operation on them?

Yes they should apologise to people of Bangladesh, the atrocities committed there were the worst. Why dosnt anyone, now, raise their voice for the stranded Pakistanis in Bangaldesh who have until now, held on to their belief of Pakistan

n pre-independence India, the Biharis were an Urdu-speaking Muslim minority in the Hindu region of Bihar. In 1947, at the time of Partition, the Biharis moved to what was then East Pakistan. When civil war broke out between East and West Pakistan, the Biharis, who consider themselves Pakistani, sided with West Pakistan. In 1971, however, East Pakistan became the independent state of Bangladesh. The Biharis were left behind as the Pakistani army and civilians evacuated and found themselves unwelcome in both countries. Pakistan feared a mass influx of Biharis could destabilize a fragile and culturally mixed population, and Bangladesh scorned the Biharis for having supported the enemy. With neither country offering citizenship, the Biharis (also called stranded Pakistanis) have remained stateless for 33 years. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has not addressed the plight of the Biharis. An estimated 250,000 to 500,000 Biharis live in 66 camps in 13 regions across Bangladesh. In 1990, a small number of Biharis were allowed to immigrate to Pakistan due to the efforts of MQM, which is still campaigning for their return. The majority of Biharis in Pakistan live in Karachi,where Orangi Town has the highest concentration of them while those in Bangladesh are allowed to live in specific camps only mostly within Dhaka city. Due to not having citizenship, most cannot get good jobs.


These people are the real Pakistanis, suffered so much still are loyal to Pakistan, yet they are scorned by the whole nation and by all of you.

Cefspan you got your facts wrong. I am not going to go in details but mate seriously truth wasn't in the reports, Geeneral sahib qurbani ka bakra banay , he was called ASIAN TIGER for his past record Bhutto family sent him after was was meessed up and they knew they need to show Pakistan people that we sent our best man but he failed and surrendered. I met and heard from actual soilders who fought 1971 war and were prisoners, no one can tell actual account better than those people, our army cut supply lines of our own army fighting in bangladesh to pressurize them to surrender as General A. K kept saying he won't give up and will die fighting. Traitors were Bhutto, few other politicians and couple of generals back in Pakistan who had already made plans to divide Pakistan. Soilders didn't have enough food and water to survive, they were trapped and surrouned............so many heartbreaking stories. Coming to our army committing atrocities etc don't, there were cases but don't believe that it was on mass scale, few islolated incidents did happen but what Mukti bahni(RAW and trained/funded bengali defectors) did to patriotic bangalis and captured Pakistani soilders is untold and heartbreaking.
