Dr. Jafar Iqbal has so vividly written exactly how I feel.
I also feel that this is not the time to criticize Awami League or Sheikh Hasina.
I am in total agreement with Dr. Iqbal as to how self-respecting Bangladeshis should feel about Pakistan in general. We can feel pity about the lack of human development and education in Pakistan, but there is no doubt that it is not just the feudal and military rulers who have not come to their senses vis-à-vis the break-up of Pakistan in 1971. That whole nation still remains addicted to their pan-Islamic stupidity. They certainly have not come to the realization of the gravity of the heinous crimes that were committed by the Pakistani military and their collaborators in 1971 on the ordinary people of East Bengal, which constitutes most of today's Bangladesh.
To me, Bangladeshis who have been talking about friendly or brotherly relationship with Pakistan are necessarily utterly idiotic; if not illegitimate creatures on Earth, in the real sense of the word 'illegitimate'.

While reading Jafar Iqbal's emotional writing, I was trying to understand why and how so many "professional" intellectuals in Bangladesh can change their views so quickly, so easily, and go against Sheikh Hashina at the time when Bangladesh has opened the second phase of liberation war, in which - country is engaged in bringing justice to those criminals, who have taken part in the genocide during the liberation of Bangladesh. Shouldn't they forget petty issues and get united behind Awami League now? Instead, they have been trying to pour fuel in the fire to make this process even more difficult to accomplish. Why is that? Why?
Like Jaffor Iqbal, I asked myself many times – why do professional intellectuals blame government when BNP/Jamat cadres kill people, burn houses, businesses, and properties? Why do they blame government for the crimes of BNP/Jamat? Why are so many people shading tears for Kader Molla, the butcher of Mirpur, who has been recognized by Pakistani government as one of their collaborators? Why do they still cast doubt about the justice of Kader Molla? I find no answers to so many of these questions.
