In the 14th December 1971 Pakistan wanted to killed all the intellectual people of our country. It was a last attempt by an occupation army to leave a nation they had been unable to subdue, crippled intellectually and culturally. They think Knowledge is the only things which can be a protection of Bengali people. If we Destroy it then Bangladesh will be powerless country and we'll be winner. But they were not gain because of mass people of Bangladesh. Although Bengal people have no knowledge power at all, but they have unity and these unity become the power for the them.
Pakistan used their knowledge as well as their power over the people of Bangladesh. They did it because authority was in favor of them and it was the inspiration for used their knowledge for their erroneous entity of Pakistanies are into this country.
Human nature is like that, they always tried to use knowledge as a weapon or power. For that reason knowledge and power become contradictory issue for each other. If knowledge used for to do good things or invent somethings then again it become an weapon or power.

As we see in the movie "Enemy of the State", power comes through the knowledge and also knowledge is used by the power. In this movie when we see the hero Will Smith become a doll of agencies when agencies had the power. After that Will Smith gain the knowledge and he became a powerful man. Now he has the weapon or power which can help him to protect himself and able to destroy agency bureaucratic network.

Interesting digression and I am glad that you have taken the time to apply this to your own life.
However, I wish you had spoken more on the film, because it is easier for you to talk the Liberation War, because you are already familiar with the discourse around the war. But you are not yet used to applying Foucault's concepts to an unfamiliar object like a film.
Despite your appeal to Bengali unity being a strength, in fact the Pakistani army did deal a devastating blow to the new Bangladesh by killing the intellectuals. The removal of an entire "knowledge class" from Bangladeshi society did in fact make it less "powerful" for years to come.
You point to some good issues within the film but - as I said above - you did not go into depth on them.
