[vinnomot] Re: [khabor.com] Article on: BAKSAL

Dear Mr. Syed Aslam,

 

Thanks for your sincere effort to understand BAKSAL.

 

BAKSAL is a huge and farsighted socio - political – economical concept - thesis - programme of Bangabandhu & his think tank. It is the best plan to develop Bangladesh to a real "SONAR BANGLA" and to get economic sovereignty, after gaining the political sovereignty through prolong political struggle and & a short but costly military struggle - by defeating Paki & pro Paki (anti Bangladesh) political parties - leaders & their overt & covert supporters – agents – activists. It (military struggle) concluded by the total & disgraceful surrender of about one lakh Paki soldiers - RAZAKAR-Al Badar etc.

 

Perhaps it is a world record, surrendering of such a huge number of armed military personals - surrendered after a very small period of fight, nine months only.

 

That is why historical Suhrawardy Uddan is very disgraceful, guilty, shameful place & spots to all Paki - Razakar - Jamat – Nezam i Islami - Muslim league supporters and enemies of Bangladesh.

 

That is why & to erase that historical witness & sign of win over Paki - RAZAKAR - from the mind of the Bangalee - Gen Zia intentionally constructed "SHISHU" park at that historical Suhrawardy Uddan, close to the historical place where – Paki - RAZAKAR surrendered to the Joint forces in 16 th December of 1971. This 'mindset' was confessed & disclosed by a prominent think tanker & brain of BNP-Jamat axis.

 

To know more (critically & logically) about BAKSAL, I would request you & all, who interested and who intentionally & foully criticise BAKSAL - to read the informative analysis - articles of renowned political columnist Mr. Abdul Gaffar Choudhury, written on some reply to some common & past criticism and some unknown events on BAKSAL (in more than 12 episodes continuously) in the Daily Bhorer Kagoj during 2004  

 

Those long episodes were highly praised by all political conscious columnist, writers, readers and no rejoinder or criticism or protest (even & including not by Motiur Rahman, editor of the Prothom Alo, whose sneaky role - to be a central member of the BAKSAL by replacing a senior renowned political leader, was also described in that article) were made to any of the comments or remarks made by Mr. Abdul Gaffar Choudhury

 

You can also read some very high-quality book published & compiled by the central committee of 'Bangabandhu Parishad'. It was created to make research - analysis on social-economic-political life-activities of Bangabandhu, by farsighted personality, eminent scientist, 'Bose Professor' & Ex VC of Dhaka University Dr. Matin Choudhury.

 

Actually all the sensible, rational political scientist/analysts recognise that the BAKSAL was the temporary arrangement to recover from the worst socio-political-economic solution situation prevailing after massive LOOT PAT & destruction by Paki during the liberation war of 1971 and after 16th December 1971 by the defeated enemy of Bangladesh ('Muslim Bangla', different SORBOHARA groups) & to some extent, by some corrupt ruling party leaders-workers and by 'misguided' & 'infiltrated RAZKAR-Paki agents' within JSD and by all Jamat-Razakar-Paki minded overt & covert supporters – businessman - civil & Army bureaucrats.

 

We, millions of political supporter of Bangabandhu, still believe that the BAKSAL programme of Bangabandhu is the best programme to develop Bangladesh and to get economic sovereignty. Many rulers has used some of the BAKSAL programme (viz UPO ZILA system), directly or indirectly in Bangladesh and still many are asking for some other policy of BAKSAL (viz new better election system) etc etc.

 

We feel proud of BAKSAL & most of the Bangabandhu supporters hail that very appropriate programme for Bangladesh at that moment and under the leadership of Bangabandhu only. Hardly 5% leader -worker-supporter opposed that farsighted political programme of Bangabandhu

 

To successfully perform a complicated, modern & best medical operation - it needs the best, modern and expert surgeon.

 

Experienced & best teacher are need for outstanding results of common students

 

Similarly to implement the best political programme, BAKSAL, for the total development of Bangladesh, need also, best & expert political leader like Bangabandhu. He was the only leader, who would successfully implemented the BAKSAL programme in Bangladesh & we would get a developed, prosperous, peaceful Bangladesh in the mean time.

 

That is why enemy & conspirator of 'SONAR BANGLA' (developed & prosperous Bangladesh) planning killed Bangabandhu, to make Bangladesh a 'failure country'."

 

All Paki - Razakar - Jamat - Muslim league supporters and enemy of Bangladesh - do not know detail of the BAKSAL, did not study about BAKSAL, but they blindly criticise BAKSAL.

 

By this "SHAREMEO  CHITKAR" they try to proof or identify themselves as a "KHATEE" (pure) Paki - Razakar - Jamat - Muslim league supporters and try to get some "VHIKKA" (abet, alms or commission or donation) from Paki (as, they have seen that Golam Azam & others Razakars & Paki supporters got after 16th December 1971, from the vested groups).

 

We know the educational, political background of all these Jamat-Paki "DALAL"s. We are also sure (from their background & merit of their posting) that they do not know the 'ABC' of BAKSAL or of any other political programme, thesis.

 

They do not know even that the BAKSAL programme was not yet implemented in Bangladesh. BAKSAL was going to function from 1st September, 1975.

 

Most common criticism - they generally make against BAKSAL is that Bangabandhu suspended all the daily news papers except four number of daily news papers!

 

Now in reality, how many daily news papers we can read every day and how many we need!

 

I can tell you that 95% of the people of Dhaka can not read all the daily news papers of Dhaka and sub editorial, analysis, columns of the news papers.

 

95 % of the people can not effort to buy all the newspapers and they have not that ample of time to read all these news, sub-editorials, columns etc of the newspapers.

 

Even 90% people can not & do not critically - minutely read more than two news papers.

 

(I have got this statistics from a reader's survey on many general readers & political conscious readers in Dhaka)

 

Now I am citing some very interesting social, political facts of New Zealand - one of the topmost democratic, transparent country and least corrupt countries of the world.

 

  • New Zealand 's first parliamentary election was held in 1853 , after New Zealand got political sovereignty in 1840. Very few country had that at that time.
  • New Zealand is the first country in the world where women got the right to vote in parliamentary elections (on 19.09.1893). In UK it happened in 1918, in USA in 1920. Women in Saudi Arabia, Brunei and many other countries have no right to vote
  • Even in USA - African (Black) Americans were not allowed to vote before 1965.
  • In 1975 New Zealand allow all types of permanent residents (PR) to vote, whether or not they had New Zealand citizenship
  • The judiciary and officials in the public service are appointed independently from the political process.
  • New Zealand consistently ranks as one of the world's most transparent and least corrupt societies.

 

In last general election of New Zealand in 2005 (voter turnout reached 80.9 percent) ruling party, Labour, remain in power by getting 51 parliament seat (about 41.1 % party votes) and their main contester National Party got 49 parliament seats (about 39.1 % party votes). There are two major political parties in New Zealand & they are the Labour Party (was in Government for 7 terms) and the National Party (was in Government for 6 terms) and there are dozens of moderate to small size political parties in NZ.

 

BUT:

 

The New Zealand Herald (published since 1863) is the one and only daily news paper of Auckland and Auckland is:

 

  • The biggest city of New Zealand
  • About 41% of New Zealand citizen lives in Auckland
  • 22 Parliament constituencies area in Auckland out of total 61 (direct) constituencies' area whole in New Zealand.
  • In last month Mayor Election of Auckland City, about 15 candidates participated & contested for the Mayor Post.

 

But there is no hue & cry for democracy or nobody say that there is no democracy or "GANOTANTRA  GELO  GELO" in Auckland or in New Zealand!

 

So, number of the daily news paper is not the measure stick or the quantity of democracy.

 

Further to above:

 

  • In New Zealand - while TV or radio or news paper or phone interviewing - even Prime Minister, top most Govt position (instantaneous or pre scheduled) never say "sir" before the question and again after the question.

 

But I have seen & heard recently in Bangla TV Channel (Bangla Vision) news paper reporters while asking some question to our Army Chief (he was sitting beside US commander of force pacific area) was adding word "sir" before the question and again after the question too! What a flattering, buttering action!

 

  • In New Zealand, Inspector General of Police (top most police Officer) lost his job when he disclosed & uttered his official position in a common police check post - while he (IGP) was on off duty with his partner's car!

 

  • In New Zealand Prime Minister's car is also fined for improper parking - by a smallest grade City Council staff/employee (Traffic warden) and for that type of BEADOBI he/she is not punished (in any form)!

 

  • In New Zealand Prime Minister's office give appropriate & immediate reply (not only acknowledgement) and take appropriate & insistent action within 4 hours of receiving any letter or application or e-mail, whether he/she is at her office or whether it is related or irreverent to his/her office. This happened to me in all the occasions!

 

This is called democracy, accountability and responsibility.

 

So, sincerely speaking, I do not give reply to any input or reply of recognized, noted, overt & covert supporters, agent of Paki - Razakar - Jamat - Muslim league supporters

 

Because it mere waste of time and energy to give reply to them.

 

Last but not the least, many thanks for you time and patience for going through my big e-mail

Mr. NetZero Anwar which uses the word Baksal/Bakshalism out of context, as

a slogan, to stymie others who has different perspectives.

Article on: BAKSAL
Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Awami League
(BAKSAL) the only legally recognised party of Bangladesh founded on 7 June 1975 following the Fourth Amendment to the constitution of Bangladesh. Under the Fourth Amendment (Article 117A), bangabandhu sheikh mujibur rahman was entrusted with the responsibility of forming a new 'national party' which would try, on the one hand, to tackle the social, political and economicdestabilisation consequent upon the war of liberation , and on the other, reconstruct the nation from the debris of the war. Thus authorised, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman formed a national party which he named Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Awami League. The rules of BAKSAL required all other parties and associations including various services and forces to join the national party and work unitedly in fighting corrosive forces and in rebuilding the nation. Elaborating on the various aspects, scopes and prospects of BAKSAL, Sheikh Mujib characterised it as a 'second revolution'.
In seeking national unity, the Fourth Amendment provided that no person could continue to remain a member of parliament unless he joined the national party before a time fixed by the President. BAKSAL, the new national party, was scheduled to replace officially the nation's other politicalorganisations and associations on 1 September 1975. Many restrictive regulations coming from the BAKSAL included the promulgation of the Newspaper Ordinance (June 1975) under which the declarations of all but four state owned newspapers were annulled.
Organisationally, President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the BAKSAL chairman, appointed for the national party a fifteen-member executive committee, a 115-member central committee, and five frontorganisations, namely, Jatiya Krishak League, Jatiya Sramik League, Jatiya Mahila League, Jatiya Juba League and Jatiya Chhatra League. All members of the executive committee were to enjoy the status of ministers. BAKSAL was also designed to overhaul the administrative system of the country in order to make it people-oriented. Reforming the elitist bureaucracy was one major aim of theparty. The reorganised bureaucracy under the new system was to stand on two pillars, the central committee at the national level and the administrative council at the district level. Every existing sub-division was to be turned into a district headed by an elected governor.
The administrative council would comprise the members of the Parliament of the district, BAKSAL representatives, and district officials belonging to civil, police and security forces. The governor would be the chief executive of the district with deputy commissioner as his secretary. Such a scheme of local government was a complete departure from the colonial and post-colonial systems that Bangladesh had inherited. It was felt that the district governor system would destroy the vestiges of the exploitative colonial bureaucracy and bring the administration closer to the people and make independence politically and economically meaningful to them. BAKSAL also envisaged large scalenationalisation of private concerns with a view to eliminating social and economic inequalities and exploitations.
In short, BAKSAL, as a system, aimed at achieving an exploitation-free and socialist economic and administrative order more or less close in spirit and contents to the systems of government in contemporary socialist countries.
The new system, in fact, created a lot of misgivings and revulsion amongst the bureaucracy, army, and civil society. Many of the people who had supported Bangabandhu for his role as a democratic activist, were unhappy to see him as the champion of an authoritarian single party system. However, before the BAKSAL system was put to full operation, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was brutally killed (15 August 1975) with other members of his family at his residence. BAKSAL was neither abrogated nor operational until April 1979 when it was removed from the Constitution and a multi-party system reintroduced. [Sirajul Islam]
