Dear Asoke Da,
Please accept the greetings of the victory Day (BIJOY DIBOSH).
You wrote in your last e-mail, "I believe our founding leaders did mistakes with regard to those issues".
I am politely disagreeing with you.
Bangabandhu "did mistakes" - is not fact. It was not so a 'straight forward' or so 'simple' to make an 'equation' or to make a 'comment' on Bangabandhu and his activities.
You have to analysis more deeply - keeping alongside all the prevailing & corresponding circumstances, situation (political, social, economical, law & order, administrative etc after our independence until the death of Bangabandhu).
We can tell - he (Bangabandhu) put them all his short & long term tasks in a proper order or sequence of priority on the basis of importance & necessary.
It is very easy to say but very difficult to achieve! Please read & see the economic conditions of the effected countries after the 2nd World War, including country like UK
Asoke Da, which were the top most necessary or importance to Bangabandhu & his government when he returned from Pakistan on 10 January 1972 ?
- To establish a pro people "central administrative structure" in place of a 'anti people', 'weak', 'neglected', 'inexperienced' 'provincial type of administrative structure'
- To reinstate, re-establish, reinstate 1 core 'refugee' (14% of the total population) who forced to live their home, land & every thing
- To establish a regular & full fledged people oriented Army, Navy, Air force & some Para military forces
- To recover all the arms & ammunitions from the possession of different group of freedom fighters and other 'fake' FF & from RAZAKAR - Al Badar - Paki - ML cadres, and from different "SORBO HARA" parties
- To re-establish the damaged, shattered, ruined economy (since 1968, due to Student-Mass movements - upraise during 1968-69, devastating cyclone of 1970 and due to a full fledged armed liberation war (mainly based on guerrilla tactics), thus lots of infrastructure like rail & road bridge - culvert, railway line, road, sea & river port, power station, govt institutions etc were damaged). Bangladesh Bank & all other major banks cash vaults & their money were took away, looted and damaged by Paki - BIHAREE - RAZAKAR - DALAL from the 1st week of December until their surrender on 16th December, 1971. There were not single cents of foreign currency in January of 1972.
- To get the diplomatic recognition of different countries & world body - like UNO, Commonwealth etc. In spite of veto & conspiracy of China (China used her 1st veto against Bangladesh), Paki, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, US, due to Bangabandhu's brilliant & intelligent diplomacy (informed & recognised by the than top officials of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, by their recent writings and columns in news paper & in books) Bangladesh got recognition from the most of the countries in a very short time, become member of UNO, Commonwealth, ICO & many other organisation.
- To fight and resist all internal conspiracy, destructive activities, false propagandas (by Vhasanee NAP, different SARBO HARA parties, MUSLIM BANGLA party, overt & covert supporters & active agents of Jamaat - Shibir (ex ICS) - Razakar - Al-Badar - Paki - PDP - Muslim League in business group, in civil & Army bureaucrats groups etc, and to some extent, by some corrupt ruling party leaders - workers and also by 'misguided' & 'infiltrated RAZKAR-Paki agents' within JSD )
- To face & combat the ( USA created ) famine and devastating Flood of 1974
- To reinstate all infrastructures (more than 1000 rail & road bridges (including the than longest & major bridges like Hardinge bridge at Pakshi, Meghna bridge at Bhairab bazaar)
- To reinstate Chittagong Port (many deadly mines were put all around by Paki and many soviet mine cleaner died in that operation in 1972), Chalna (Mongla) port. A lot of damaged ships were sunk around those ports and to their approach route.
- To reinstate thousands of rail line, road, river link.
(As a qualified & experienced Civil Engineer you know how much money, time and efforts are required to do these works)
- To start a 'political diplomacy' to arrange for Hajj in 1972, as it was a very sensitive issue (as Saudi Arab, KSA, did not yet recognised Bangladesh until Bangabandhu was killed in 1975, though Pakistan was compelled (through ICO) to recognise Bangladesh a year before), but Pakistan tried her level best, with the help his known DALALs - so that they can claim that Bangladesh has become a "non Muslim or Hindu" state after the independence.
- Trial of Paki war criminals & prisoners. The then Paki Prime Minister Z A Bhutto gave an open & public threat to Bangladesh that if Bangabandhu make trial of any Paki war criminals & prisoners then, he will throw all the Bangalee (stranded in Pakistan) to Arabian Sea. On the other hand many social - political groups, including Maulana Vhasanee also urged to bring back lakh Bangalee (both civil & in military, stranded in Pakistan) in exchange of Paki war criminals & prisoners.
- Still Bangabandhu took some instantaneous sentence action against the top most Paki DALALs, RAZAKARs, Al-Badars & criminals like Muslim League leader Shafiqul Islam (Golam Azam's paternal uncle, live beside the house of Golam Azam in Mogh Bazaar ) & Chief of the notorious "Shanit Committee", collaborator (DALAL) & PDP leader Nurul Amin, collaborator (DALAL) & Razakar & Jamat leader Golam Azam, collaborator (DALAL) & Muslim League leader Khawja Khoeruddin (who contested against Bangabandhu in Dhaka seat in 1970 election), collaborator (DALAL) & PDP leader Mahmud Ali and many other most criminal, RAZAKARs, collaborator (DALAL). Many Paki minded leaders were declared not to get in Bangladesh (& their citizenship of Bangladesh were cancelled). They were allowed to get in & helped to establish politically, economically, and socially - all we know, by Gen Zia & BNP alliance. These MOITTA RAZAKAR< MUZAHIDDA RAZAKAR, DEILLA RAZAKAR, SOBHAN RAZAKAR & other top-medium-small scale Jamat-RAZAKAR-Al Badar either left the Bangladesh or gone in political hibernation. Some of their lower level worker supporters either changed their identity or took shelter or overtly or covertly supporting all anti Awami League - Bangabandhu parties like Vhasanee NAP, JSD and even SARBOHARA Parties!
As, above mentioned (and also many other) prevailing & widespread economical-social-political-administrative issues and also other international political issues (due to US-Russia cold war) were most serious & critical.
Also those Paki DALALs, criminals, RAZAKARS, Al Badar did not openly or directly created any serious threat & problems, so, Bangabandhu Government gave more importance on above mentioned prevailing economical-social-political-administrative issues and gave comparatively less priority to the trial of all Paki DALALs, criminals, RAZAKARS, Al Badar, as most of them either left Bangladesh or were gone to hibernation or changed their political platforms and did not made any such objectionable comments about our liberation war - which they were doing after 1977 and specially after 2001.
In spite of these - Awami League government led by Bangabandhu has started the trials of those killers, rapist & punished (jailed few of them) in spite of these most important works but he was not able to complete them.
Asok Da, do you think, Bangabandhu (with very limited resources and with all internal & external conspiracies) should do the trials of those Paki DALALs, criminals, RAZAKARS, Al Badar - at first instance or to solve these burning issue or to take action against above mentioned (and also many other) prevailing & widespread economical - social - political - administrative issues of green Bangladesh.
Awami League government led by Bangabandhu has done enormous works in all sectors in spite of many local & international conspiracy (led by collaborator (DALAL), Razakar, Jamat, Muslim League, PDP, NI & Paki minded leaders like Nurul Amin, Golam Azam, Khawja Khoeruddin, Mahmud Ali and many others).
I can write pages after page about positive contribution of Bangabandhu (and Awami League) government.
I also agree that Awami League Govt have done some mistakes, which are much less than constructive & good one - in both quantity & quality.
So, after the independence of Bangladesh - Bangabandhu had took the most right decision, You will agree that other than to trial those DALALs, RAZAKARs and criminals - there were many most important tasks & burning issues ahead of a fresh and green government of Bangladesh, like reconstruction of Bangladesh - in all respect. Pakistani Military & Civil Janta exploited Bangladesh from 1947 to 1970. And before surrendering in 1971 they have made planned destruction of new coming & inevitable Bangladesh in all sectors (economical-political-social-educational-intellectual) to make an "ineffective", "failed" & "unstable" country
So, please, Asok Da, I hope that, in this critical situation, you will write & act more wisely, strongly, openly and vigorously, as you have done after 15th August 1975 to till eighties.

Dear Moderator,
Our intellectuals were killed by Al-Badar and Al-Shams of Jamat in 1971 at the dawn of independence with a view to get rid of leadership to the newly born country. Our home land was turned into killing fields by those killers in 1971.
Freedom fighters were divided after independence and could not hopefully try to bring those killers into justice. Our nation is deprived to be proud for not doing justice with martyrs by bringing known killers under trial for their heinous acts in 1971. Instead killers were given share to rule the country. And this was mostly started after killing of Mujib.
All the marshal government gave footings to these ill forces to get money and power. We are divided by those forces and at the same time they are united to infect our social fiber of the nation.
Political leadership should realize that we can be divided for political issues and should not be divided for common cause of liberation struggle. Government should come forward to find those enemies and bring them under trial. And those ill forces should not be allowed to get access to politics. Their ill activities in 1971 should be recorded and written in our school books so that new generation can identify those demons and their present accomplices. And we should not forget that they are the common enemies of the nation.
I believe our founding leaders did mistakes with regard to those issues and we should be united to find them and bring them to trial for justice and government should take initiative to make us a proud nation.
Regards,
Ashok Kumar Bose
