Pakistan should also apologize to Bangladesh for 1971

M. H. Sohail If New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern can apologize for the numerous raids against migrants in the 1970s 4 and a half decades ago, Pakistan should also apologize to Bangladesh for the 1971 genocide.

We saw in the news that 4 and a half decades ago in the 1970s, New Zealand carried out numerous raids against immigrants. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern apologized for that campaign! If New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern can apologize for the numerous crackdowns on migrants in the 1970s four and a half decades ago, Pakistan should also apologize for the 1971 genocide. The news of New Zealand's apology was published in The Dhaka Times today.

There are many such precedents in different countries of the world. Because Pakistan became a Muslim in 1971, the torture and persecution of the Muslims of Bangladesh has become a precedent in the whole world. The kind of work done by the then ruling military ruler is recorded as a scandalous chapter in the history of humanity.

Different human rights organizations of Pakistan have also expressed their grief about the role of Pakistan in 1971. Human rights activists also feel that the current rulers of Pakistan should apologize for the 1971 incident.

In 1971, the rape and torture of women who claimed to protect the country remains a scandalous chapter in world history.

The case of New Zealand is that this campaign was conducted from 1974 to 1976. At that time New Zealand was going through an economic recession. The country's then government cracked down on migrant workers from the Pacific region. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern officially apologized for it.

However, during the independence war of Bangladesh in 1971, the torture and torture of the unarmed people, including men and women, by the Pakistani forces is inhumane. In comparison, New Zealand's incident is nothing compared to the brutal incident in Pakistan. However, New Zealand apologized.

There is nothing wrong with apologizing. That's why mindfulness is needed. New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has done that and shown it to the whole world. Today we have raised the question that the present rulers of Pakistan should apologize to the people of Bangladesh for the events of 1971. After 50 years of independence, we as a citizen of this country can expect that.
