Dear Alochoks:
I would like to draw your attention to recent
development: demand from certain quarter to band
religion based politics and to initiate trials of the
"war criminal." Much has been written about, discussed
upon, and commented by alochoks recently on the issue
that indicate irrationality and zealotry as well.
However, in my opinion, few alochoks have realized the
realpolitk that drives the sudden rise of the demand,
which actually is a hoax, a political ploy to reap
benefit, only to be discarded later by politicians, as
time progress.
I provide my rational why I believe so.
First, this demand, in all of its facet, prima facie,
is a political ploy per se. It is intended to drift
away the incumbent CT government from its course:
focus on anti-corruption drive.
Had these politicians had such fervor of patriotism
and had they were imbibed with value of War of 1971 so
much as they exhibit now, until recently, they would
not have been engaged in plundering public property
and had made political alliance with these so-called
war-criminals, whose blood they now demand.
Second, it is politicians' calculated attempt to make
Fakhruddin government appear as a partisan publicly,
because perceived neutrality of the incumbent
government has been the pillar of its success, which
these politicians seek to destroy.
Consider the strategy of the game: so far, it is
pro-Awami League (AL) and AL following leftists, who
are demanding the trial of Jammat-e Islam leaders, but
they remained silent about their own fundamentalist
allies: the Islami Oykko Jote and others, who also
opposed the creation of Bangladesh.
The reason for such one sided argument is simple: AL
wants BNP ally Jammat, thus, by default BNP, to become
weak in coming electoral calculation, but AL wants
their own fundamentalist ally remain intact, whom they
would cash on later, appealing to Islam.
Third, majority of outspoken proponent of this newly
found sentiment gets indirect support from AL
quarters. AL supports them as to achieve their own
party objective, as they did before supporting the
movement initiated by Jahanara Imam, whom they later
discarded eventually, once their electoral objective
was achieved.
What Awami League sympathizers otherwise intend, is to
put the CT government face to face with political
quarters, who espouse pro-Islamic sentiment at home.
They intend to make sure that the current CT
government invokes disappointment both at home and
among Middle Eastern countries. This strategy is
pursued to weaken the grip of CT government against
them. And they want to fuel it in the backdrop of
price hike, to maximize their gain.
Finally, there is no sincerity in the demand. It is
attempted to cover crisis that politicians now face:
how to avoid prison term. Politicians are trying to
divert public sentiment, as to cover them from public
scrutiny, as they are being accused of and proved to
be guilty of corruption. That is, raising such
sentiment, politicians are attempting to appear as
patriot and wash their hands off of political
corruption.
