If Pakistanis were like them…
'The settlement was a "complete and moral acknowledgement of the damage inflicted on Libya by Italy during the colonial era", the Italian prime minister said. "In this historic document, Italy apologises for its killing, destruction and repression against Libyans during the colonial rule," Col Gaddafi said. This is part of the news posted by BBC. Can the Pakistanis read? If they can they would have understood what it means to be civilised. The news goes on--"It is my duty, as a head of the government, to express to you in the name of the Italian people our regret and apologies for the deep wounds that we have caused to you," said Berlusconi" If Pakistani leaders were enlightened like Italian PM Berlusconi, then they would have, too, acknowledged morally and physically, the atrocities meted out on us-Bengalees-- in 1971.Some of their intellectuals have stood in front of their press club with a 'We are sorry' banner. Is that enough to heal the wounds and scars ? I lost my elder brother in 1971.Each and every member of my family went through a painful psychological trauma from that death. Is that banner good enough for me and others like me? I will always curse Pakistanis from the depth of my heart. Pakistanis still have to learn what is meant by 'dignity, humanity and respect' .
See what is going on in Pakistan! Is Pakistan at peace? Not at all. They feign to be at peace and moving on. As long as they do not unconditionally apologise to us and compensate for the killings, rape, destruction in a dignified, humane manner, they will not be able move forward. Pakistan should learn from Italy's gesture and follow suit by officially acknowledging and apologising for the brutalities in 1971 and find a way of compensating. We have every right to demand it from Pakistan.
