National Election: Minus 2 and State of Emergency must hold.
Mohammad Gani (USA).
Most of us have heard of this "true" story before! An Indian gentleman came to visit England for the first time and was staying in his friend's house in London. One Sunday morning, he was surrounded and greeted by a group of friendly Nuns/Pastors out from the nearby church while he was walking along the side walk around the neighborhood. They as usual smiled at him, talked to him nicely with affection and kindness before giving him a long and touchy lecture on God, Heaven and the Hell for more than half an hour. This Indian gentleman was not really interested in all these heavenly information early in the morning and was pretty much not paying attention. They noticed this in his face and then one of the visibly unhappy Pastors quickly asked him, "Sir, don't you like to go to the Heaven?" The reluctant Indian gentlemen politely replied, "I think, I am O.K here and no, I do not want to go the Heaven. After all, if Heaven were truly that great place to live in, the BRITISH would have occupied the Heaven long time ago"!!
Last night, God has sent an Angel to interview our original champions of Democracy Hasina and Khaleda in their luxurious sub-jail mansions. He inquired about their personal life, their health and welter of their political life; especially the reasons behind their long time "silent absence" from performing "frequent fliers OMRAH HAJ" as they used to do almost every month in the past. After the long interviews with these 2 step sisters of multiple personality characters, the holy Angel proposed them to choose the Heaven and go with him instead of screwing this poor nation of 150 million people up again and again. No sooner had he said so than contentious and petulant Hasina stood up, started yelling at and chasing out the holy Angel, calling him "Pakistani Razakar number 2" [Please note: The Razakar number 1 is Golam Azam!]. Interestingly, stupefied but relaxed Queen and pioneer of all corruptions Khaleda was reticent and afterward briefly spoke to the Angel by saying, "No, thanks; I like my Howa-Bhaban better". Disappointed Angel then abruptly vanished back to the Heaven, leaving Bangladesh in the hands of these 2 picaresque traitors and their "Company limited". Now, anyone can easily imagine how much these 2 "JonoNetri" and "GonoNetri" love this nation from the middle of their hearts, from deep inside of their souls (Let paradise get lost!]. Shame on this Care Taker Government for confining our prides, the only 2 left over patriots in Jails(?). Cruelty should have a limit!
So, what did the so-called Democracy exactly deliver "good" to this poorest nation on earth for last 37 years? Is there really anything to good to say? Absolutely none! This nation has so far never tasted the flavor of "civilized democracy" since its "inception" as a free nation; our democracy was first choked around its neck to death by our founding father Sk., Mujib himself with his declaration of "State of Emergency" on 25 January 1975. Mujib's pet Parliament (?) then "democratically" amended the Constitution under State of Emergency, banning all opposition political parties and declaring Mujib the "President for life", giving him extraordinary superpowers! As its continuation, our Democracy of "Accountability and Transparency" fell into the "BLACK HOLES" of 2 splenetic tyrants Hasina and Khaleda 15/16 years ago that instantly vanished (to nothing) and then a local Big Bang generated out a super democracy of corruptions, extortion, bribery….. but cunningly enough with the rhetoric of freedom of speech, human rights, free and fair election and Razakars. You shall not hear Hasina, Khaleda and their surrogates ever talking against corruptions, grafts, extortions…. etc those made Bangladesh the most corrupted country in the Universe [and it is agreed by our favorite western civilized world too]. Our political lieutenants worldwide, front runners of democracy and human rights, especially Awami-llectuals always come up with their perennial distortions on "Democracy of Accountability and Transparency" in Bangladesh and shy of saying anything against or of abscising endemic corruptions.
So, "Road to Democracy in Bangladesh" now needs an alternative approach instead of a conventional one or the brasses of so-called "free and fair election". This democracy must come out through the barrels of guns like in Japan and in Germany after World War II. Nation simply can't effort giving out free rides any longer to this notorious bunch of thieves. The upcoming election, likely in November 2008 must be conducted under Emergency Role that would protect the security and freedom of choices of 150 million citizens, prevent all political hegemony, deaths of innocent voters, secure a "free and fair" election and finally prevent the losing "Patriots" from digging for excuses of calling it a fraud election. Lifting Emergency shall cause more harms to this nation than good because of the exigent and circumstantial field reality. To the contrary, the President may consider calling the armed forces to crack down on all the "unruly and hostile patriots" those would attempt fomenting lawlessness, shall prevent them from hurting our law abiding citizens during rancorous election campaign. If any untoward situation or development warrants, President could also consider dismissing the Care Taker Government, postponing the election indefinitely and declaring Martial law for 3 to 5 years or until the country becomes ready for a "free and fair" election. Politicians must understand that only the Care Taker Government alone can't secure a "free and fair" election unless political parties come up with open mind toward accomplishing that mission. Another disturbing and convoluted puzzle is that in Bangladesh, there can not be any "free and fair" election unless Awami League and BNP both win with majority seats in the Parliament!
Meanwhile, the exciting MINUS 2 formula and REFORMS inside political parties those once were hovering above and among the "tranquilized politicians" immediately after 1/11, appear to have been frozen, if not dead. No, not so fast! Let the nation steams of their renewed and onward journey leaving these 2 crooks behind. Their comrades would obviously come across difficult time to exist without their beloved Queens of mean, should be entirely irrelevant here. These crusaders of democracy love Hasina and Khaleda much more than they actually love their families, this nation and democracy, if any at all. We must come out from the umbilical cord of Mujib and Zia, set ourselves free and secure practicing true democracy. My other favorite character, Alhaj General Mowlana Ershad that has been surfing these days, to re-establish amorous relationship with his former and estranged sweet-heart, lovely Bidhisa should also be included with this MINUS 2 list. Very important but needless to mention that unlike all other previous Governments (conscionably or unconscionably), the Care Taker Government should seriously consider excluding enemies and scarce of our freedom Nezami and "his accessory accomplishes" from participating the National election. This nation should no longer continue rewarding these enemies of our freedom and they must pay heavy prices for their brutal roles during our struggles for independence.
Finally, these 2 vicious women leaders in Bangladesh national politics indeed have "heart problems" or have "no heart" of kindness and love for this poor nation except their obsessed, perverted and fatal attractions for power, greed for public wealth and love for their own political family trees. Despite unfolding many convincing and circumstantial evidences of known and hidden crimes, these insouciant patriots so far have demonstrated no sense of remorse or guilt whatsoever and are becoming obstinately defiant against all allegations. This should not be the teaching of "civilized democracy" or "democracy of Accountability and transparency", is it? We, the ordinary citizens of Bangladesh now need to bear in mind that our national security, spirits of freedom and freedom itself must win over anything including over "Hasina/Khaleda brand" democracy at all times and at any cost. Sedulous Care Taker Government must be girding for more punches of its protracted struggle in defeating these "aggressive evils" of circus democracy as well as have the mission of establishing true democracy of Accountability and transparency in Bangladesh. Delivering smiles to 150 million people can not be endangered and spoiled years together; let an apposite democracy takes the meaning with true flavor for all; a democracy that never visited this nation before.
