He reacted immediately by holding a meeting in his office and calling him a "prize fool". In his memoirs,"White House years", he recalls that the Shaikh asked his captors to release him as he was the lone person to dump "the civil war".

CIA conspiracy theory is also there. It is possible that various vested interest groups joined hands. Any way, I have not read the book. Has Kissinger admitted that Mujib was assassinated for formation of BKSAL?

Splitting Pakistan was not avenged as these leaders were little more than pawns on the chessboard of South Asia.

The Bengali article mentioned that the death verdict on Mujib was carried out in 1975. The other one on Bhutto vs. Ziaul Huque was written by a retired army officer of Pakistan.Apparently Mujib was killed by a group of derailed army officers and Bhutto was punished for killing a political leader. But the authors simply tried to look at a broader picture, or, in other words, they tried to explore the root causes. That's why I did not show the audacity to negate your theories. We can only analyze and try to find out actually what happened.On Sunday, July 6, 2014 1:55 PM, "Kamal Das kamalctgu@gmail.com [mukto-mona]" <mukto-mona@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

Das's first sentence is good and will encourage a healthy debate. The second sentence reflects Das's mindset that it is only he who comprehends history perfectly well. Whatever I have written is based on articles written by competent authors. I believe instead of trying to shut one's mouth, the debate should be taken to a higher level. We need to remember that BKSAL was created in 1975 while Mujib had been in the bad book of the countries that directly or indirectly acted against Bangladesh's liberation.

Bhutto was punished for land reform, and Shaikh was for political reforms and formation of BKSAL. If you don't comprehend history, don't concoct it.

Red carpet welcome given to Bhutto is often seen as an insult to our great liberation war. After all Bhutto was a villain. Interestingly both Bhutto and Mujib were punished for the 'crime' of splitting Pakistan into two. While Bhutto was executed by the Pakistan army itself, Mujib was executed by 'an extension' of it.
It is also noteworthy that both Mujib and Bhutto with great promises brought an end to actual and virtual army rules in Pakistan. While Bhutto quickly surrendered to evil forces like Islamists, Mujib did not. But Mujib was struggling to do some thing good to the economy devastated by the war. One strategy he followed was to get support from countries not friendly to Soviet Union. Despite opposition from within he attended the Islamic Conference in Lahore.

Three million debate ain't over. After assertion of such casualty, a red carpet welcome was given to Bhutto. Nine months of liberation war could not have a comparative casualty of twenty year long Vietnam War.
