No, I mean if everything had gone well. Excluding the oppression part. You can see first initiative of Ruppur was done in 1961. And their Karachi power plant gone to operational in 1972. I said it before we had done mistake by joining west pak which lead us behind some 26 years.

Yes,I saw that.but it's small reactor.while PK will commission their first 1000MW reactor in 2020.If contruction goes as planned,Ruppur will commission in 2020 too,initial construction has started already for 2 years by now.AND general people don't know about it,but Bangladesh do have an small nuclear power station too for research purposes.
So Cheers!!!

I hope the Bangladeshi planners are smarter than Pakistani ones and don't place it right next to their biggest city.

yes the "oppression" complaint would have been why didn't the Punjabi oppressors build a jute mill instead of 'wasting' existing jute money on nuclear plant. if you don't think you were independent as East Pakistan, you are even less independent as Bangladesh and you really belong to either of them.
