The Man Who Knew The Future Of Pakistan Before Its Creation

Family of the Heart - DIALOGUE & DISCUSSIONS 

What Mr. Anis Zuberi and Anjum Niaz have written are correct. The tragedy is that we do not give proper importance to our own problems like that of Muslims killings Muslims which we experienced in Bangladesh and now in the NWFP and Tribal areas. Had we given power to Mujib to rule Pakistan he would have become more patriotic because power has been a great weaknes of the Muslims. In Moghul rule we see mostly Mulims fought and killed Muslims. Babar and his Muslim army fought Ibrahim Lodhi and his Muslim army to gain control of Delhi while the non Muslims watched in dismay. Mr. Bhutto who represented the power base of Punjab, wanted power at any cost and he forced Yahya Khan to prevent handing over power to Mujib. Mr. Bhutto had even threatened the NA members from West Pakistan not to go to Dhaka for assembly session otherwise their legs will be amputated. He wanted Mujib to drop his six points and come to understanding with him alone before assembly session. This was an unconstitional demand. He even advanced the idea of holding separate session of East and West Pakistani assembly members. Even if it is supposed that Mujib after assuming power would have taken the steps to break Pakistan, then our West Pakistan army located in East Pakistan could have taken a military action which would be welcomed and justified. The military action  taken resulted in killings of Muslims on both sides and Bhutto said Pakistan has been saved. We should see how Indira Ghandhi by giving power to anti Indian Kashmiri Leader, Shaikh Abdullah actually neutralised him. Because her army was there to thwart any attempt by Shaikh Abdullah if he proclaims independence.
