Pakistan should beg apology

I am deeply shocked to see a picture in The Daily Star of March 23, 2012 with the following caption: “Premises of this mosque at Gobinda village in Pabna town witnessed the most unimaginable barbarity on March 26 in 1971 when the Pakistan occupation army opened fire at the people taking part in janaza prayers as part of a deceased villager's funeral.” What a pity! Pakistanis consider themselves as practicing Muslims but the heinous crimes their army personnel had committed on the innocent Muslim population here are beyond the codes of Islam. I wonder if the people of Pakistan have by now realised what sort of barbarity their savage soldiers had done in Bangladesh. They should beg an unconditional apology to the Bangladeshis for the brutal acts they committed in 1971.
