Musharraf said to Bangladesh to forget this past. 30 years is a long time. Forget the Past and move forward. While it is 53 years still Pakistan does not want peace with India. He does not want to punish the criminals whi massacred and killed 3.6 million Bengalis. He says Hamoodur Commission Report was not correct.
As Shahriar Kabir, a leading campaigner in bringing war criminals to trial, said "it is an irony for Pakistan as regards Kashmir they want the past to settle the problem, but in the case of Bangladesh they want to forget it."
Pakistan is not bothered on Human rights of Muslims in China or Biharis who have been stranded in Bangladesh for 27 years but is more concerned about Human Right abuses of Indian against Kashmiris, Christians, Dalits and Assamese and Tamils
In an interview with CNN on Friday Hasina had called for fresh elections in Pakistan, saying the absence of democracy could not help any country.
"People should have every right to elect their government," she said.
Musharraf, who seized power in an October coup last year, evaded questions on the cancelled talks during a press conference.
Musharraf concurred with Sheikh Hasina's comments when referring to Bangladesh's war of independence that one has to forget the bitter past and look forward.
"People of Bangladesh are our brother and we want friendly ties with them," he said.
Sheikh Hasina told CNN that war criminals should be punished.
"We cannot forget what happened to our people, our children, our women in 1971. So there is a demand that they should be punished," she said.
Bangladesh, the former East Pakistan, gained independence in 1971 after a nine-month bloody war.
