I believe there is no harm in the state of Pakistan making a formal apology for what happened.
PERTH, WA, AUSTRALIA: This is with reference to Kuldip Nayar’s article of December 20, titled “The birth of Bangladesh”. General Pervez Musharaf did apologise in his capacity as the ruler of Pakistan when he visited Bangladesh and laid flowers on the graves of martyrs of the language riots of 1948. However, I still believe there is no harm in the state of Pakistan making a formal apology for what happened, if that helps heal wounds.
