There is every reason for people with conscious to be worried about which direction our country is moving toward. In absence of caretaker governments inability to handle Isalmist bigots is creating an atmosphere where people have to take the law into their own hand to challenge mullah's plan to turn our country a backward state of Taliban.
Jamaat-e-Islami lead terrorist are burning not just the cars and motorcycle and beating police they put prayer rugs of Baitul Mukarrom on fire. Mercilessly beat Muslim devotees who went to the mosque for prayer. It happened not just in Dhaka but in Chittagong too. Followers of Islami Chatro Shibir the student wing of Jamaat-e_Isalmi attacked police station and a mosque without any provocation.
Three members of Islamist outfits beat up a policeman, two with the snatched shotgun and helmet while the other with a bamboo stick, after the cop fell behind his retreating colleagues who chased the agitators near Baitul Mukarram National Mosque yesterday. Photo: STAR |
Baitul Mukarrom mosque, showing sign of what happened with Lal Masjid of Pakistan. Baitul Mukarrom is no longer a place of worship but a den of fanatic terrorist led by Jamaat-E-Isalmi . This is out national mosque and we must claim it back.
I will ask civil society, forward looking political organization, women's right organization, Islamic organization, especially Sector Commanders Forum to declare Baitul Mukarrom our national mosque free of terrorist. Call for a especial National Prayer Session in Baitul Mukarrom and return the mosque to Muslim devotees. Take oath to fight one last time to free this country from religious bigots. These are the same people who killed our brother, sisters, fathers and mother in 1971 in the name of Islam. These are the same people who raped our women and handed them to brutal Pakistani military force as Maal-e-goni-mat.
Progressive political parties have to take a stand on this issue; nation wants to know where they stand. If they fail to take a stand in favor of fifty percent population of the country then they have no right to ask out vote.
Civil Society irrespective of creed, gender, religious belief and political identity have to make demand similar to what Sector Commanders Forum pressed that political party declare that they will not associate with religious bigots and will pass women's equal right act if they voted to power. I will urge the civil society to boycott any political entities that will not come forward in favor of women's equal right.
Where is our Nobel Laureate Dr. Younus? His Nobel peace prize is a direct result of our deprived women's. He could not win this prize without he women's effort, why he is not talking? Unfortunately he never ever took stand on any issue that our country faces. When peace of the country was falling apart because of dummy president Dr. Iajuddin's illegal anti constitutional stand, it was Dr. Younus who came out to support him and asked Iajuddin not to listen to anyone and go forward with secret blue print election. I hope at least once in a life time Dr. Younus will come out of his egg shell and stand beside the people.
Where half of the population is women who the mullahs are to stop women's equal right?
It is the woman who earns the maximum foreign currency of the country giving their sweet and blood working 12 + hour shift in a garments industry, who are these people who wants to stop them from their legitimate equal right?
It is the women, who makes her all out effort in agro economy and it is because of women farmers our agriculture sector is flourishing day by day. Male farmers only farms on the other hand the female farmers not just farms but takes care of wellbeing of entire family, who are the mullahs to stop that forward march.
Every citizen who believes in Bangladesh, every citizen who believes in the constitution of the country has to abide by it. Our constitution gives the equal right to its entire citizen. Bangladesh government who took oath under this constitution has to abide by it upheld it and protects it from anyone who wants to destroy it. If they fail to protect the constitution which we received with the sacrifice of millions of mutterers then surely we will fight on their behalf to protect it.
Wake of son's of mothers, protest who wants your mother's right to be revoked in the name of religion. Mother who kept you with her love in her womb for nine months this is your time to return her not favor but her right. Fight until your last breath for your own mother and sisters right which ultimately will protect your rights too.
Let us walk together out of darkness toward the light
With a sincere hope for victory of truth and justice over untruth and injustice
