Special Report on: Bangladesh & the dismemberment of Pakistan

Pakistan has always considered the bitter past of the 1971 dismemberment as a closed chapter in view of the tripartite agreement signed in April 1974 for repatriation of war prisoners.

On March 25, 1971, the army was sent in to put down a rebellion in what was then East Pakistan. The move proved a turning point in this country’s history. By the end of that year, the Pakistan that had come into being in 1947 was no more. This special report examines the darkest chapter of our country’s history, focusing on the ten crucial days leading up to action taken by the army, causes of the separation and the latest developments.
