قومی ترانے کی دھن اور اس کے بول تیار کرنے کا کام پاکستان بنتے ہی شروع ہو گیا تھا مگر عام طور پر لوگ یہ نہیں جانتے کہ ایک موقع پر سورۃ فاتحہ کو بھی قومی ترانہ بنانے کی تجویز دی گئی تھی۔

This is high time we admitted that the separation of East Pakistan in 1971 was due to our fault. Historian Dr Mubarak Ali said this on Thursday as he spoke at an online talk on Brig (retd) AR Siddiquiâs recent book on former president Yahya Khan, titled âGeneral Agha Mohammad Yahya Khan: The Rise and Fall of a Soldierâ. He said Bangladesh got independence on December 16, 1971, and we should call that day independence of Bangladesh rather than Fall of Dhaka.
The talk was moderated by academic Prof Dr Riaz Shaikh. He said Yahya was a major character in the incidents that led to the separation of East Pakistan, but not many books had been written on him. He praised Brig (retd) Siddiqui for writing on the former president.
