Farman Ali to Yahya Khan men behind the Bangladesh genocide

I recall that on my very first visit to Pakistan in December 1995 (nearly twenty-five years after I had left it as a high school student in July 1971), as part of a group of journalists at a conference organized by the South Asian Media Association (SAMA), the general manager of the IFIC bank branch in Lahore acquainted us with how he had once rebuffed Rao Farman Ali. Apparently, the man reviled for planning the killing of Bengali intellectuals had once come to the IFIC bank, ostensibly to open an account. The general manager, a proper Bengali and a freedom fighter to boot, made him sit down but did not shake hands with him. "I had no wish to touch his blood-stained hand," he told us.
