Pakistani FM Hina Rabbani avoids Bangladeshi FM Momen’s call to seek apology for 1971 genocide at Colombo

[blain2]

Pakistan just needs to apologise for its behaviour in 1971 and then ties can be normalised.

Hasina is not asking for anything unreasonable.

Musharraf did so in his visit to BD. You can look up what he wrote and it was as remorseful and forward looking as you will get from a Pakistani.

Keep in mind that in the Pakistan of today, none of the actors had anything to do with 1971 and any atrocities related to it. However, Pakistanis do want better ties with BD.

Bangladesh should apologize for the ethnic genocide against Biharis. If it wants Pakistan to apologize, they Too must apologize.

If you care so much about Biharis, why don’t you guys take those Stranded Pakistanis back?

They left India for Pakistan, supported Pakistan during the war and now these people (may be around 500,000 Muslims) are stateless!

Bangladesh should thank Pakistan for protecting them from Indian hegemony after partition so they could have an identity. If it wasn't for Pakistan, BD would be India right now. I swear to God ask for an apology one more time and this will happen

Bangladesh people are very reasonable. You should apologize every time you meet them.

 

[UKBengali]

Wrong. Both BD and Pakistan have much to gain from uniting in the face of a increasingly emboldened regional bully that is India. You are already their bitch and from the way things are going, we just might be as well.

BD sees India as no threat but as a massive opportunity and a key state along with USA and China for it's long term security and economic prosperity.

BD is no-ones "bitch" as you say and in 10-15 years time Bengal and NE States would be no more than BD satellite economies, along with Nepal and Bhutan.

 

[Sifar zero]

Pakistan will eventually be forced to apologise as the economic difference between the two countries becomes massive.

No it won't we will sail through this rough patch IA like all the other problems before it.

Musharraf did so in his visit to BD. You can look up what he wrote and it was as remorseful and forward looking as you will get from a Pakistani.

Keep in mind that in the Pakistan of today, none of the actors had anything to do with 1971 and any atrocities related to it. However, Pakistanis do want better ties with BD.

It needs to be a formal and unconditional apology for 1971 on behalf of the Pakistani state.

Like I say BD does not need Pakistan but if Pakistan wants to benefit from better relations from BD then apology needs to come first.

here an apology, i am sorry that you betrayed me with that dirty b itch india.

oh the raping where are the half breed Pakistani children with army mustache.

Bangladesh has urged Pakistan to publicly seek apology for the genocide by its forces during the liberation war in 1971.

Bangladesh foreign minister AK Abdul Momen made the call while meeting Pakistan state minister for foreign affairs Hina Rabbani in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo.

He said, however, that Hina Rabbani didn't respond to this.

While replying to newsmen at state guest house Padma on Sunday afternoon, AK Abdul Momen made the disclosure.

He said, "She told me they want to strengthen ties with us. We have told her to publicly seek apology for the genocide in 1971. She avoided the issue and did not reply."

Momen said, "She said they have certain limitations. I said we have certain limitations here."

The foreign minister said, "Pakistan wants to increase trade relations with us. They want to FOC. I said you have given anti-dumping conditions and she said that was a good point.

That seemed positive to me. They want to improve relations with the entire Indian subcontinent, not just Bangladesh."

The foreign minister visited Sri Lanka on 3-4 February on the occasion of its 75th republic day. On the sideline of the event, Pakistan state minister for foreign affairs Hina Rabbani made a courtesy call with Bangladesh foreign minister on Saturday.

She should have punched him on the nose and spat at him. We do not forgive and forget traitors.

 

[HAIDER]

Bangladesh need to get over this. Gen Musharraf already indirect apologies. Not every govt will say sorry for 71.

 

[blain2]

It needs to be a formal and unconditional apology for 1971 on behalf of the Pakistani state.

Like I say BD does not need Pakistan but if Pakistan wants to benefit from better relations from BD then apology needs to come first.

Coming from the President of Pakistan is as formal as it gets.

It goes both ways. Pakistanis aren't lining up to visit or trade with BD either. Let's take stock of each other's stature before making such grand statements.

If Pakistan is extending a hand of friendship, take it. If not, then so be it.

 

[El Sidd]

Bangladesh's poor attitude towards diplomatic norms is astonishing and appalling.

 

[migflug]

Hina Rabbani carry herself really well!!

 

[TheSolution]

Bangladesh people are very reasonable. You should apologize every time you meet them.

I'm not joking one Bengali girl was actually saying this that she asks every Pakistani she meets if they are sorry about it and to apologise about what they did

It needs to be a formal and unconditional apology for 1971 on behalf of the Pakistani state.

Like I say BD does not need Pakistan but if Pakistan wants to benefit from better relations from BD then apology needs to come first.

This dude speaks like Bangladesh is China or something

Forget China, if we can survive severing ties with India, what is Bangladesh in comparison?

 

[Zhukov]

Why are these Bangladeshi Statemen always asking for this stupid demand on every forum?
They know exactly the complicate situation in Pakistan between Military establishment and Civil Leadership. And the uneasy peace that is upheld here.
What do you want Hina Rabbani Khar to say?. What will it achieve?.
Who was in charge of Pakistan Govt when East Pakistan Operation was carried out?.
Do these idiots believe Mil Establishment will tolerate any civilian official to say a word against Army role in 1971?.
The purpose of these moronic calls is just to strain the relations between two countries because they damn well know Civilians minister cannot apologize and him/her not doing so will hurt Bengali people sentiments. And a needless drama is created.

Benaglis be acting like they are about to release IMF tranche if we Apologise

How about a BIg F**k you…….apologise for the treason and betrayal of your own people. For the insurrection and secession of our combined motherland. You were wronged politically, economically but you betrayed your family. You were sleeping with the enemy and joined hands with them to attack your own family
