Ever since Sheikh Hasina has been ousted from power in Bangladesh and Mohammad Yunus has become the head of the interim government, Pakistan has been engaged in improving the relationship with her. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister and Deputy PM Ishaq Dar has also reached Dhaka tour about this. However, in 1971, Pakistan has so much oppression on Bangladeshis that the relationship between the two countries seems to be a distant leper. Ishaq Dar’s Dhaka became insulted when Dar said that the issue of apologizing for the atrocities of 1971 from Bangladesh has been resolved. On this, the special and foreign advisor of Mohammad Yunus immediately said that Ishaq Dar is speaking wrong.
Tauheed Hussain, Foreign Advisor to the Yunus government, said that Ishaq Dar’s claim of resolving issues from 1971 is not good. Both countries will continue to discuss such pending matters in future. Ishaq Dar said after a meeting with Tauheed Hussain that in 1971, the demand for Bangladesh’s formal apology for the atrocities of the Pakistani Army was resolved in 1974 and 2000 itself. However, Tauheed Hussain immediately reacted to this. He said that definitely I do not agree with Dar. If this were the case, problems would have solved.
We raised unresolved issues in the meeting: Foreign Advisor to Bangladesh
Bangladesh’s newspaper ‘Prothom Alo’ wrote that Hussain said, “We have raised unresolved issues, such as forgiveness or regret for 1971, claims on assets and the case of trapped Pakistani citizens.” He said that it would be wrong to expect that the problems of 54 years will be solved in a single day. Nobody expects that we will sit for an hour and solve everything.
Sign on 5 mU between Pakistan-Bangladesh
Mohammad Yunus’s interim government’s foreign advisor said in a press conference, “Both countries have presented their respective status on these issues.” Hussain said that an agreement and five MoUs were signed between the two countries. Hussain said that both countries have agreed that historical issues should be resolved through discussion to carry forward bilateral relations.
PAK Foreign Minister’s visit after a decade
Please tell that a senior minister of Pakistan has reached a tour of Bangladesh after about 13 years. Prior to Ishaq Dar, Hina Rabbani Khar had visited Bangladesh in 2012, but it seems that even though Mohammad Yunus is sitting in power, forgetting the atrocities of 1971 and apologizing for it, Bangladesh will not be disturbed from Pakistan.
