@ It had been seen when ever we tried to come close with Pakistan something abnormal happens in Bangladesh. In 1980, we almost came close with Pakistan and many of our defence structure upgraded with the help of Pakistan but then what ? General Zia was killed !!! Old people says it was due to the instigation of RAW that Zia was killed.
@ Then General Ershad came to power and many development took places during his tenure. Our Airforce deeloped a lot from the rudimentary stage. We almost had more than 100 aircrafts. Many of them specially A-5 and F-6 squadrens were equipped by the Pakistan but than a public agitation started against ERshad and he was over thrown. During the last days of Ershad he used to say that it was the act of neibhour countries. Can you believe it many student/terrors of Bangldeah who were stationed at Calcutta came to Dhaka univercity with arms and agravated the situation which hastened the fall of Ershad. BNP always claimed that the fall of Ershad was due to the continous struggle of BNP ? But this is completely wrong. Yes it helped the situation but the joint plan was made by invisible man. That is why once Sk Hasina before the general election 1991 went to West Bengal and there she said in front of press, "If election is held free and fair BNP will not even get more than 10 seats in the parliament".
