The relationship between Bangladesh and Pakistan is affected by past history . Due to political , economic , linguistic and ethnic discrimination by the Pakistani state before independence in 1971 , and the atrocities against the Bengalis committed by the Pakistan Army during the Bangladesh Liberation War , some people in Bangladesh abhor everything from Pakistan . The Government of Bangladesh demands a formal apology for those atrocities from the Pakistani head of state , as well as putting on trial former military and political leaders who had played a role in the army action in then East Pakistan . Pakistan has continued to ignore this demand
