[🇧🇩] Bangladesh-Pakistan Relation---Can we look beyond 1971?

[Saif]

In war soldiers get killed. In our long neighbourhood history, we had minimal conflict. I don't recall any civilian killed by either of the army.

How about the killings of Sikhs in the golden temple?

All who raises weapon against nation will be dealt with weapons. May it be Hindus, may it be Muslims or may it be of any other community. We have not killed any innocent shikhs. Those terrorists who had occupied the temple were flushed out with use of power. Your poor logic of Identifying terrorist with any community is laughable. Pakistan did same in Lal Masjid with Muslims. No matter who you are, if you challenge state with weapons, you will be delt with power. Many of the Maoist who are killed in encounter with armed forces are Hindus. What is your logic?

............and the consequence was........the assassination of Indira Gandhi at the hands of Sikhs.

BD should pursue greater engagement with Pakistan as long as BDs interest is maintained.

I am all for increased trade and people to people contact via reopening on shipping lanes, direct flights etc.

However I would be against seeking Pakistan as a replacement for India in any capacity. This is not a zero sum game.

Not withstanding current issues with India, BD should engage Pakistan with a view to opening new horizons and exploring win win scenarios.

There has been some positive developments and I am hoping to see BD exports starting to flow west.

@Bilal9 @Saif
It's a start Pakistan, Bangladesh leaders agree to expand, deepen bilateral ties

Although some folks like @Sharma Ji @Vsdoc @Krishna with Flute won't like it.
