Despite bilateral discussions, the recovery of $4 billion from Pakistan never materialized.

2025.01.24 05:43 Rubence_VA Despite bilateral discussions, the recovery of $4 billion from Pakistan never materialized.

After the liberation of Bangladesh through an all-out war with Pakistan, several contentious issues arose between the two countries. The notable ones were:

The repatriation of 93,000 Pakistani soldiers detained as prisoners of war. Pakistan sought their swift return, while Bangladesh aimed to prosecute them for war crimes.
Repatriation of over 400,000 Bengalis detained in Pakistan.
Repatriation of Pakistanis (Biharis) detained in Bangladesh.
Gaining Pakistan’s recognition of Bangladesh, securing United Nations membership by convincing China, and
Recovering Bangladesh’s assets owed by Pakistan.

According to international law, a newly independent state is entitled to a share of its predecessor state's funds and assets, both movable and immovable (Vienna Convention, Article 2). During a visit to Japan in October 1972, Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman told journalists, “Bhutto is delaying recognition of Bangladesh because, under international law, he would be obliged to hand over Bangladesh's share of assets. The Pakistani forces have destroyed all our resources. They didn’t even leave us any ships or planes. They should promptly recognize us and return our rightful assets. I seek nothing from Pakistan beyond what is justly ours under international law.”
To prioritize other diplomatic matters, Bangladesh remained silent on this issue for some time. However, after gaining Pakistan's recognition on February 22, 1974, Bangladesh initiated efforts to recover its dues. On April 5, 1974, a tripartite meeting between Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh was held in Delhi. Two days before the meeting, the government-controlled newspaper Dainik Bangla published a detailed report stating that Bangladesh's foreign trade-related claims against Pakistan amounted to 50 billion Bangladeshi taka at the time. It was revealed that $200 million, sent to aid East Pakistan after the 1970 cyclone, had been transferred from the Dhaka State Bank to the State Bank of Lahore during the war. According to the United Nations' UNROD, the war caused $1.2 billion in damages, while Bangladesh’s official estimate was 12.49 billion Bangladeshi taka.
Following the report, Pakistan responded through the Urdu newspaper Nawa-i-Waqt, which claimed on April 19 that Biharis in Bangladesh owned assets worth 55 billion Pakistani rupees and that Bangladesh should return this amount to Pakistan. The counterclaim aimed to undermine Bangladesh’s demand for its assets.
In June 1974, ahead of Pakistani President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's visit to Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Planning Commission prepared a detailed document outlining its claims based on international law. It specified Bangladesh’s share of assets, Pakistan’s liabilities, and the foreign loans incurred during the united Pakistan era. Foreign experts estimated that excluding war damages, Pakistan owed Bangladesh $3.975 billion.
During Bhutto's visit, a draft agreement included the asset-sharing issue. Bangladesh claimed $4 billion, including $11 million in gold and foreign currency reserves. Pakistan, in return, demanded 108.8 million Bangladeshi taka. Bhutto, citing the lack of financial experts in his delegation, attempted to sidestep the issue but eventually agreed to form a committee under pressure from Bangladesh. However, Pakistan stated that it was not ready to accept the proposal in principle.
While Bhutto publicly celebrated his visit to Dhaka, he criticized Bangladesh’s demands upon returning to Pakistan. Meanwhile, Bangladesh prioritized asset-sharing and the repatriation of non-Bengalis as preconditions for establishing diplomatic and trade relations. When bilateral efforts failed, Bangladesh sought international support. On October 4, 1974, during a stopover at Heathrow Airport, Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman stated, “Progress in Bangladesh-Pakistan relations depends on resolving unresolved issues. We demand our rightful share of assets. We are not begging from anyone.”
In May 1975, at the Commonwealth Summit in Kingston, Jamaica, efforts were made to address the asset-sharing issue. As part of this initiative, the UAE’s oil minister visited Dhaka and Pakistan in June. Bangladesh also sought mediation from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) decided to revisit the issue at the upcoming Non-Aligned Movement summit in August 1975.
However, after the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on August 15, 1975, international efforts to recover Bangladesh’s dues stalled. In December 1976, Bangladesh announced compensation for nationalized industries, benefiting Pakistani businessmen who owned significant portions of these industries in Bangladesh. Despite protests, the government began compensating some Pakistani firms in 1978. In July 1979, a government order allowed claims on abandoned properties if the owner was a Bangladeshi citizen. Many non-Bengali owners exploited this by acquiring citizenship certificates and reclaiming properties, often selling them and transferring funds abroad. Additionally, Bangladesh assumed $13.485 million of the $506.761 million loans incurred during the East Pakistan era.
Despite bilateral discussions, the recovery of $4 billion from Pakistan never materialized.
When Bangladesh claimed $4 billion in 1974, the exchange rate was 8 BDT per dollar. With the current rate at 122 BDT and an annual interest rate of 6%, calculate how much Pakistan owes Bangladesh in 2025!

2025.01.24 05:43 EvilDarkCow Bought a car at Carmax, got a check engine light the very next day. What should I do?

Just yesterday (Wednesday 1/22) I purchased a 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan with 36k miles from my local Carmax. Technically my third Carmax purchase, though I returned a car I purchased last week to get this one (it just wasn't working out). I fell in love on the test drive, and the car exhibited no issues at all, felt like a Bentley compared to the Corolla I had returned. Finished the deal, drove off (got a low key battery warning as soon as I left - easy fix), and went about my business with this car I absolutely adore.
Today (Thursday 1/23), while parking back at work after grabbing lunch, I noticed the check engine light had come on. This was new, as the light had not been on before this. I pulled the code and got a P0491 (Secondary air injection system insufficient flow Bank 1). Some quick Googling reveals that this is a common issue in VWs and Audis, and can be either a quick fix, or quite a major repair (valve guides, engine head, etc.). Carmax has always taken good care of me and seems to have good quality cars, so for something like this to pop up within 24 hours is a little shocking. The previous owner seemed to maintain the car meticulously at a VW dealership, based on the service records that I could find.
I love the car but, as you can imagine, this is a little disappointing. I hope that once this is resolved I can get years of reliable service out of it. Of course I have the complimentary 90 day/4k mile warranty, but I also got 5 y100k Maxcare on it and there still seems to be a little tiny bit of factory warranty left. Should I call the local Carmax service department, since I bought the car there, or should I go straight to VW since it's still under factory warranty?

2025.01.24 05:43 Own-Panda-7535 Help?

Hi!
I’m not sure if this is the right group, but I really need to talk to a Muslim person about something important. I live in a foreign country where there aren’t many Muslims, so it’s hard for me to find someone to talk to in person.
I’m not currently wearing the hijab, but alhamdulillah, I have a strong desire to start wearing it because I believe it’s the right thing to do. The only thing that held me back before was my concern about being treated differently in school or in future jobs. I’ve come to realize that wearing the hijab is not a problem as I once thought. I understand how important it is, and I’m wondering if it’s too late for me to start wearing it now. Will I still be able to enter Jannah if I begin wearing the hijab at this stage in my life? Thank you so much!

Pro tip here, the UA lounge in Narita is crap. If you’re in busy class or are a united Gold level, for a short 10 minute walk you can use the quiet, uncrowded, better food, better booze ANA lounge. Really empty and super comfy chairs, nice view too. UA really needs to step up the service in Narita.

Unpopular opinion: it really grinds my gears when people talk shit about women that findom . Stating that they don’t know how to hold conversations, all they want is people’s money & etc . Like DUDE . I can’t even fathom how many times I’ve had like legit regular conversations with people w/o the money aspect immediately popping up . We’re HUMANS before anything . GOSH . & then it’s like I understand the girls who ARE like that because I’ve definitely been scammed or lead on before by someone who was pretending to be a sub. It’s give or take . You can’t judge someone off first glance . #OkayRantOver

I just booked my first trip to Cancun (temptations) and one of the restaurants has an elegant attire dress code. The nicest attire I own (have ever owned in 40 years) is slim fit Wranglers, a western button down shirt with nice boots. Is this acceptable attire for an elegant dress code?

2025.01.24 05:43 DawnCrovan Can't view the Stock-Market lines.

First of all, English isn't my first language and I lack some vocabulary to make myself clear. But I'll try. So, I've been playing on this cookie clicker save on and off for 12 days (my first ever save, I'm new), and since day 10, I can't seem to view the Stock-Market-line-stuff. I saw someone else asking the same question as me, but they just got told they had cheated. I know how this might sound, you can't always trust internet strangers, but I did NOT cheat. I attached a picture, in case that would help.

I booked the Toy Story hotel on the Shanghai side but it didn’t allow to me purchase park tickets more than 30 days out. So I purchased the park tickets through Klook instead as they allowed me to select a date farther out. Do I still get early access to the park since I’m staying at the hotel, even though I got my park tickets through Klook?

How do you normally go about writing an OC with a power?
Do you write your power around your OC's personality? Like how heroes did with Sylar and his power, both shaped by his need to figuring things out?
or do you go the other way around and center the OC's personality around the power? Like how MHA does with AllforOne?
