My Dear PM. "Koi Sharam Hoti Hai Koi Haya Hoti Hai." #MirMak.
National pride is at two levels. One, the people take pride in their nationality and second, the government promotes that pride at an international level. Us Pakistanis were never fairly represented at the second level. We keep screaming Pakistan Zindabad on every street of Pakistan and our leaders shamelessly do the contrary on international byways under the excuse of diplomacy. Another title for hiding cowardice. Let me explain and you decide...
March 1971. There was anarchy on the streets of Bangladesh, the then East Pakistan. People stopped going to offices. Banks stopped paying their customers. And while all this was happening, reports came that at East Pakistan Rifles EPR Head Quarter in Chittagong a Bengali Brigadier has started plans for an outright mutiny in which all Bengali units of Pakistan Army in East Pakistan along with all wings of EPR will revolt against Pakistan. Students from Chittagong Medical College and Dhaka University were recruited. Jagan Nath hall was chosen as the place of congregation. Intelligence sources from Pakistan Army gathered information that plans were made for mass killings of Pakistanis and a take over.
To control the situation, Operation Searchlight was planned by our Armed Forces to preempt this revolt. It was launched on March 26th 1971. The plans were to simply disarm East Bengal troops and stop them from mutiny.
General Rao Farman was in charge of the operations and had given strict orders that these anti-state elements were simply to be disarmed and restricted to their barracks. But the moment our forces reached Bengal to disarm these bandits and thugs, they started killing not only our officers but any Pakistani found isolated in any area. So much so that Colonel Janjua of Pakistan Army was killed by his own Batman and the murder was ordered by Major Zia, the same Major Zia who later became the President of Bangladesh.
Students were being killed everywhere. Pathans, who were known for doing business in remote villages of Bengal by being traveling salesmen were cornered and butchered. Keeping this in mind, our forces increased the thrust of he operation and it became a success in just 3 days and was finally finished by April 11th. This is where the Indians come in. Defeated by our forces, the insurgents ran away to India and started their training under the Indian Armed Forces, A fact that PM Modi accepted publicly just a few months ago, and the end result was MUKHTI BAHNI.
How stupid could our Government be that after Modi admitting this in public on the record in a speech, that we did nothing as Pakistanis. It was the biggest proof of Indian government's guilt. It was the best opportunity for us to raise the issue of Indian intervention in our matters since we came into existence.
Back to Mukhti Bahni, a Proper insurgency against Pakistan came underway. Our total Armed Forces strength in Bengal at that time was little over 10,000 Watching this phenomenon, patriotic Pakistan loving Pakistanis in Bangladesh came forward and offered their help for their nation. They offered to volunteer their services for their nation. They offered to protect their country, Pakistan. And Matee Ur Rehman, the recently hanged leader of JI in Bangladesh, was one one them. 40 Years later he was hanged for being patriotic towards his own country. Pakistan. Yes it was Pakistan at that time.
And our Government has kept its mouth shut. Even JI has kept their mouth shut.
Shaheed Ka Khoon Raaygaan Nahi Jaata... Matee Ur Rehman's only crime was that he loved Pakistan. Our Government's crime is that it is keeping its mouth shut. Turkey, a country that had nothing to do with this man's patriotism, has called back its Ambassador from Bangladesh. What is next, first hang people who helped their countries. Then start a movement to defame our Armed Forces in retrospect. Then start a campaign to try our soldiers for war crimes that they never committed. Then start a debate around the world that our forces are nothing but part of a "ROGUE ARMY".. Then making that the pretense to start a campaign to dismantle our nuclear assets and then try to disintegrate our country, all because our Government is keeping their mouth shut either for the love of doing business with India or outright cowardice... Whatever the case maybe, This is the beginning of the end for them...
Nehaal Hashmi, the PML-N leader and part of the government was also one of the volunteers like Matee Ur Rehman who fought bravely for their country, Pakistan, at Hilli, at Rangpur, at Bogra, almost all North Western sectors, What is next ? Bangladesh in connivence with India will ask for Nehaal Hashmi to be tried for being a patriotic Pakistani 40 years ago ? And will the PM hand over Nehaal Hashmi to Bengalis or will he only speak if his party member is attacked ?
When leaders let the blood of their people go to waste, Allah intervenes.....
