I find it moving, in a certain fashion, that some people are still
behind Hasina and Khaleda and their families. Loyalty is such a rare
virtue in BD ! That there were irregularities during both regimes
cannot be questioned. That both the families are now very well-off
with a lot of wealth abroad is also well-known. Local assets would
not show the entire picture, but leakages do remain, and ACC are
probably depending on that intitially.
What makes the entire exercise futile is the immunity offered to any
politician who is willing to betray the hands that fed them all
these years. If anybody claims that Mannan Bhuyan, Ehsanul Huq
Milon, Osman Faruk, Abdul Moyeen Khan, Anwar, and others [sorry, I
am naming persons at random, and not in any order] of BNP, Mujahidi
and Nizami of Jamaat, and Razzak, Mukul Bose, Amu and some others
of Awami League did not commit any corruption, that would be the
most laughable story of the decade. If they are being pardoned for
performing a Tauba ["reformist"], why should not Tareq, Mohiuddin K
Alamgir and others who have been chargesheeted and/or sentenced, get
a chance to do so too? Indeed coming to evasion of Income Tax -
Barrristers Amirul Islam, Rokonuddin Mahmud amd even Kamal Hossain
never paid their taxes as per their true income, which is
astronomical indeed, considering the one to five lakh taka they
charge for each appearance in court.
So, if it is case of 'amra sobai chor amader ei chorer rajatye', the
best objective might have been a general pardon for the lesser
criminals, like that of 1971 to those who had opposed Bangladesh,
but were not involved in any felony. In this case too cases should
be pursued by ACC according to the magnitude of the theft, and not
on account of how much a person appears to support people like
Mainul Hosein, hardly a well-respected , popular figure. Perhaps
this government is simply arranging things to make sure there is no
reprisal when they leave. But if men like Mannan Bhuyan {ex-Minister
of LGRD, the most corruption-infested Ministry according to
Transprency International) can betray once, they can do it
again.
