Mufti: Your two question are good ones and I am happy you asked.
There were several reasons why Mujib was not handed over power. First of all, the country was being ruled by a general with little foresight and zero knowledge of world politics. Secondly, with Mujib winning a landslide majority with the backing of a neighbouring country, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and his party would have been forced into the opposition. A very clever politician, Bhutto did not want that to happen. It is fact that he is said to have stated "Mujib tum udhar, hum idhar" which reflected what was up in his mind.
As for the Pakistan army being accused of killing "millions" and raping "thousands" you may be knowing that it is the victor who always writes the history and the vanquished is always the villain. If the Nazis would have won World War II, by now everyone would have believed them to have saved the world from a treacherous attack from inferior people jealous of the Aryans. There would have been no talk of the Holocaust.
The Pakistan army is a disciplined force and for it to go on a killing and raping spree is nothing but conjecture. By the way what were the rag-tag force of Mukti Bahini with very little training and guns in hand doing after the fall of Dacca or even during their fight for freedom? Did this force comprise of just "holy" people? Nobody talks about them murdering and raping the unarmed Biharis..
