Mujib's confusion on Bangladeshi deaths

The Guardian, Tuesday 24 May 2011
To my surprise and horror he told David Frost later that "three millions of my people" were killed by the Pakistanis. Whether he mistranslated "lakh" as "million" or his confused state of mind was responsible I don't know, but many Bangladeshis still believe a figure of three million is unrealistic and incredible.

Comment:  Confusion or habit of exaggeration and illiteracy? Wasn't he a muscleman of Suhrowardhy?Abid Bahar
