Bangladesh’s foreign affairs minister has urged Pakistan to formally apologise for alleged atrocities committed during an independence war in 1971. The ministry said Dipu Moni made the demand Sunday in a meeting with Pakistan’s new envoy to Bangladesh. Aided by India, Bangladesh won its independence from Pakistan in 1971 after a nine-month war. Bangladesh says Pakistani soldiers, aided by local collaborators, killed an estimated 3 million people, raped about 200,000 women and forced millions to flee their homes. Pakistan has disputed the allegations.
