There's a quote that's been cited by multiple publications that on 22 February 1971, General Yahya Khan is reported to have said "Kill three million of them [Bengalis], and the rest will eat out of our hands " Now this quote may not be true. But every action taken during that war and all the conflicts before and after it seem to embody and endorse the main spirit of this quote: that the main tactic by the Pakistani army to suppress the populace is to break the fighting spirit by decimating and overwhelming public movements through any tactic, dirty or clean.
The genocide we did didn't happen but our corrupt leaders getting couped by equally corrupt generals is genocide
We may think that this plays against the junta. But the dangerous duffers believe that after seeing the country go to heck under the "civilians's watch" we will become so utterly dejected and hopeless that we will yearn for the ounce of stability brought on by a full blown military-backed/martial law setup.
The hopelessness is by design, not a mistake. Resist it. Remember, they were not able to resist the public turnout in 1970 and failed to do any rigging against awami league. Therefore, their one and only goal right now is to spread enough hopelessness to depress public turnout.
Lmao they are legit going to pretend the guy Pakjab elected wasn't allied with military in suppressing a Beggardeshi PM.
Looks more like you're trying to sow hatred as well. I am mostly criticizing army too sometimes but get this thing into your head. A few hundred top brass is not the 6 million soldiers. Soldiers, NCOs and some junior officers go through the hardships that you can not even imagine and they still live as a part of the population that is below the poverty line. Hate the reason, not organization.
Don't preach us what and whom we should hate or love. Those few 100 come from the same corrupt soldiers and junior officers and rise through the ranks. The institution / organization is made up of all of those who are beneficiary of it.
I lost a brother and i do know inside out of the house that you have gazed from afar. You don't hang a family for q son's crime, you don't kill a city for a murderer and you don't blame an organisation for a few corrupt officials.
Oh so you belong to army. That explains alot. No need to argue more with you, bye and take care.
They are dangerous, powerful, and ruthless people. But we are fifth generation warriors, I am sure we are hurting them badly.
