Quick Glance: Bangladesh War History Can't be Rewritten by Pakistan's Ex-Army Chief
- In his final public statement, Pakistan's former Chief of Army Staff, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, attempted to rewrite a history that spans five decades.
- On March 25, 1971, the Pakistani army launched a massive crackdown on the intelligentsia in Dhaka.
- Bajwa's attempt to rewrite history has inadvertently revealed the lingering impact that continues to haunt the corridors of GHQ Rawalpindi.
- Rather than praising the Pakistan armed forces, Bajwa should reflect on their actions in former East Pakistan, apologize, and offer reparations.
