I am afraid all your good suggestions in this topic are nothing but
cover up for Jamaat/Shibir. We all know about these and other big
and good ideas. But good things start on a strong foundation and
that foundation stands on truth and justice. Unless we get rid of
the worst criminals in Bangladesh's history, nothing will work out
perfectly. For you information and thought: Ershad, Hasina, Khaleda,
Tareq etc. are all little children compared to Golam Ajam, Nijami,
Mujahid, Kader Molla etc's crimes. Yes, we do not want to see any
more of Hawa Bhaban or Sudha Sadan to appear as vultures in the sky,
but we also do not want to see outwardly religious groups (inwardly
and spiritually empty) to abuse our beloved religion any more for
their own putrid political agenda.
I fully agree with all of your highlighted issues, but you ignored
the number one which you pitifully labeled as putrid political agenda
(it may sound funny, but a lot of right-wing Hindu fascists use the
same term whenever the BJP/Sivsena's barbaric criminal role in 2002
Gujarat riot are discussed). But rest assured there are plenty of
apolitical people back home and abroad who will fight constantly even
if it takes 500 years to establish truth and justice in Bangladesh.
There will be NO national unity until then.

Jamat, not AL, not BNP, not Hannan, not Amnesty ... please highlight
core issues of national interest.... It seems you guys have only
agenda, only mission, only topic, only politics, only discussion -
guess what - when it comes to talk anything about the country. Please
give us a break.... Let's talk about future socio-economic agenda of
Bangladesh. If you really care Bangladesh, and I'm sure you all do
care so much, let's highlight issues like:
>
> A. How to bring foreign institutional and High Net Individuals
(HNI) investors to Bangladesh taking cue of our neighboring India
where investors swarm and compete who should put how much.
>
> B. How to generate positive image of the country. Remember again
every Indian citizen and agency abroad work as an Indian ambassador
whereas there are plenty of factors within and without Bangladesh to
destroy good image of the country and campaign for exposing all it's
bad images so as to prove that the country is always and hell that
she deserves, if at all, charity rather than investment.
>
> C. How to improve strong diplomacy of economy rather than
remaining as a subject of mercy. Remember, because of India's strong
economic diplomacy big international players frequent to India for
strategic partnership while they visit Bangladesh if there is any
charity call. Indian government agencies and policy makers when
travel to foreign countries, they bring on their discussion table
issues around bilateral trade, investment and many other agenda of
economic import while their Bangladesh counterparts table the only
agenda - how many laborers can be recruited into those countries.
>
> D. How to marginalize the bad impact of national and student
politics, specially the politics that create thugs, family dynasty
and hooligans to rob the nation and keep the mass people in captive.
We do not want to see any more any Hawa Bhaban or Sudha Sadan to
appear as vultures in the sky of the country's fate.
>
> E. How to promote economic activities and corporatocracy to bring
about expected level of economic growth and development and financial
stability.
>
> F. How to institutionalize democracy at national level and within
party politics.
>
> G. How to promote and improve technical training, education and
use of state-of-the-art technology in all economic and other
activities to ensure efficiency and enhance productivity.
>
> And I leave it open for you to add some more to the above list.
If you are capable of any intellectual and professional service to
the nation, the country really need all the above from you and not
the disservice that you are giving to the country by highlighting
putrid political agenda. Best regards. Sincerely, Wohid

Bangladesh has been raised for partisan political purposes, to malign
nationalist and Islamic forces .This is obvious also from
simultaneous demand by the same quarters for banning of Islamic
parties. Every body knows that in a popular referendum extremist
secularism of 1972 constitution has been overthrown and Islam was
made a pillar of the statecraft. The left and extremist seculars have
no support in the country, so they take political cover to reach
their unpopular agenda. After all the war prisoners of 1971 war was
released and the then President of Bangladesh gave amnesty to all
people except specific cases of murder etcetra, there is no
justification except partisan politics to raise such old issues.

person of Bangladesh origin and she has been influenced by a group.
We hope Amnesty would realize its mistake.
