Pakistani scientist's unwise comments
We are really vexed at the comment of Dr. Abdul Quader Khan - the Pakistani nuclear scientist. It is a worthless comment about the emergence of independent Bangladesh. It is also insulting to the freedom fighters of Bangladesh, who made supreme sacrifices for the country. Dr Quader should know that the emergence of Bangladesh was historically inevitable.
The political and economical repression on the then East Pakistan by West Pakistan was much more than nuclear bomb. The loss of lives at the crackdown on unarmed people on 25th March was worse than a nuke attack.
It was proved even if Pakistan had hundreds of nuclear bombs, they could not resist the Bangladesh's independence. During our Liberation War, some powers were in favour of Pakistan. Could they resist the emergence of Bangladesh?
