Mujeeb ur Rahman, GM Syed both struggled hard for Pakistan in 1947 and Sindh and Mashriqi Bangal became part of Pakistan. They are now labelled in our country as traitors and indian agents. But what us gave us the right to call them thus? Surely SOMETHING must have gone wrong that they suddenly became disenchanted.
U think that if Mujeeb, or for that matter GM Syed, became PM of Pakistan, the largest and most powerful Muslim nation at that time, they would have betrayed us to india? Absolutely not. All that raw agent bs are just ruses to keep power away from the other side. Truth be said I don't think Punjabis would ever have shared power with Bengalis. I can't call it anything other than racism. Replace Bengalis with Pashtuns and situation would be absolutely different. Skin colour racism is sad reality in our country and I have seen such very posts on this forum and some persons even boasting about the rapes of 1971 yesterday.
I as Muslim will never condone what our army did in East Pakistan to our own people, even raping its own Muslim sisters. That too after dumping their mandate. How's it any different to what india did in Kashmir, dumping mandate of Kashmiris by rigging elections and refusing to give power to Hurriyat which it righfully deserved. Then unleashing evil hindu army on our brothers and sisters there simply because they demanded their democratic rights. Indian Army killings are still going on today. Just like I condemn Kashmir killings and injustice, I will condemn what we did in 71. Our army being Muslim army makes it even more shameful.
And I know how our Bengali Muslim brothers selflessly fought for my homeland Kashmir in 65 when india attacked us. Even though their own province was left undefended. You think I will call them traitors? I won't because they are NOT. I used to think like some Pakistanis here, called them ghaddars, semi hindus and what not. Just 3 weeks back I was shouting at them. Then I read some articles by international writers which were let's just say, damning. So sorry I don't share your views. Maybe u hve been watching homeland season 3 a lot.
