It is unfortunate that an all-important subject like the impact of military take-over of civilian governments has been reduced to the issue of who is 'faulting' whom. I am not in the habit of using the word "fault" as a verb. I thought we were engaged in a collegial discussion, and not a school-yard scuffle. Eager "to fault" the other, these school-yard rompers look for foul-mouthed, bloody, nose-busting victory.
I did not "fault" Rabiul Islam. My posting was not directly addressed to him.
My aim was to engage the general reader and increase the awareness of how seriously damaging the pattern of military rule had been to the very existence of Bangladesh and the Martial Law's blatant violation of the idealism with which Muktijuddho was fought.
The Bangladesh Constitution was framed in 1972 with all the efforts by both our own people and a group of experts on constitutional law from abroad. The Jamaati and the Islami-pasand people keep spreading denigrating lies about it, and people do not know how to dispute the lies.
The quote from the 2006 Judgment on the Moon Cinema Hall writ petition at the High Court Division gives a vivid idea how under the clout of an illegally imposed Martial Law our precious Constitution was mangled. [I took a lot of trouble acquiring the quote traveling by rickshaw from one end of Dhaka to another. I knew Advocate Jahed Karim, youngest son of Dr. Ahmad Sharif, had a bound copy of the Judgment. I sat in his Chamber and hand-copied the quote].
Therefore, my exhortation to "memorize" was more of a rallying cry meant for all of us. It was just another way of saying -- Let us not loose sight of this important judicial criticism of the odious Fifth Amendment, 1979, to our Constitution.
It now appears that despite all my efforts and good will, the importance of it is totally lost upon Mr. Zaman.
