Victory Day: an observation
A very positive thing happened this VICTORY DAY: no banners and no slogans. In future banners and slogans must be done away with. And the events proved beyond doubt that year after year Bangladesh produces some of the best planned events in the world. This land is brimming with talent. The level of culture and design of events this year was just impeccable. And now another piece of news. A War Crime Tribunal would be welcome if it helped to heal the gaping wound in the nation. Three million people were killed, hundreds of thousands of women and children raped, and millions injured, and billions of dollars lost to the economy at the hands of Punjabi dominated pre-1971 Pakistani Army, civil servants and its political leaders- that can never be allowed to be forgotten. Sadly, the wound cannot be healed since it was the first government of Bangladesh that could not bring the cowardly Pakistani rapists and killers to justice Please tell me why I may be wrong. A correction would be most welcome.
