Bangladesh wants great relationships with Pakistan, but not without giving the impression that the atrocities of 1971 have been forgotten, according to international affairs director Md Touhid Hossain, who made the comment on Tuesday about suggestions that the interim government may be eager to put the knife to rest.
In response to a question from the ministry of foreign affairs, he said,” I think relations will be made easier if they ( Pak government ) have the guts to make a statement about what took place in 1971 and demand an apology.” Hossain claimed that meeting Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on the UN General Assembly’s agenda on September 25 did n’t mean everything was forgotten.
” It was a kindness meet… When we sit for a conversation, we may raise the hard problems”, the international politics director said. The current government did not express in any way that Bangladesh is ready to establish positive relationships by putting 1971 apart. What happened in 1971 is always in our emotions”.
Bangladesh has often argued that Pakistan should publicly apologize for the crimes committed against Bengali-speaking people during the conflict of 1971.
