Bangabandhu killing,the 'Bottomless basket’ and the 'Famine74' issue:the three adjacent pages in Bangladesh History( part –3)

Some people most fashionably uses a rhetoric which was uttered by a diplomat who was opposed to the freedom of Bangladesh- he is Henry Kissinger, the then secretary of state of US. In 1971 US was the most potent most powerful country but was against the freedom struggle of Bangladesh, Kissinger as a secretary of state remained an integral part of that policy making So within two years of post-liberation period when Mr. Kissinger says - ‘Bangladesh is a bottomless basket’ that should not warrant a whole sale cognizance. In fact whatever wealth we had , Pakistan took it all so much so that there was no basket at all. We have examined the scope of this negative comment about Mujib or for that matter about the desperate post war situation in Bangladesh and will do more as go through.
And again there are those who not try to recognize that the period from 1971 –to august 1975 - is hardly four and a half years – within this period a). Mujib got his people mesmerized towards Bengali nationalism and the economic disparity between the east and west part of Pakistan & thus got all the seats in provincial assembly but one in early 1971, b).he directed his people towards a freedom struggle against the occupying force of Pakistan & magically snatched the liberation of Bangladesh ,c) he gave his people a parliamentary democracy with a secular constitution in Dec 1972, d).gave them re-election on that constitution in 1973. the country’s economy infrastructure were devastated by Pakistanis he & his team of people worked tirelessly to regain it as quickly as possible. e) but national and international conspiracy killed him . We will find it hard even find out such a leader in the international arena who gave so much in so little time . (continued)
