[ALOCHONA] Advanced intelligence needed to counter terrorism

Advanced intelligence needed to counter terrorism Abu Zafar Mahmood Bangladesh is promised in fighting against terrorism and also earned the goodwill of winning on this danger without any compromise. In this respect Bangladesh needs to develop it's intelligence services to go forward winning larger war. Are we ready to accept Bangladesh to face and fight stronger enemy of any terror form in future? That's to be answered first. Does Bangladesh need such capabilities? Answer should be limited primarily within two words; Yes or No.My answer is-Yes. Bangladesh must have capabilities of facing enemy & international intelligence activities at home and abroad for the security of its interests with no exception. Is it a duty of the government of the Republic to detect the connection of foreign intelligence network of any form in power exercising corners including the political party, trade union, association etc that have the capacities to provoke and mobilise the public unrest in one hand and organise public opinion infavour of strengthening Bangladesh on the other hand? My answer; yes, it is the duty of the government. Bangladesh government opened up a separate Intellegence bureau in Dhaka City in the police department in August 2008 that might be one of the reform programs of the present policy makers. It's area of activities specified in the political field. The bureau will collect the information on political activities of the country. The decision shows that Military intelligence or the Army is far from politics. The accusations on Army to interfere on politics will carry no attractions anymore. This proven again the attitude of professionalism of Bangladesh Army that they are not interested in politics at all except their profession and helped to wash out all doubts of Army interference in politics. It enlightens the image of Bangladesh Army. We might continue debating on it. Here might get peoples also whose opinion in favor of abolishing Bangladesh military and not to spend finance for military matters. Bangladesh is so weak that cannot afford expanses of feeding the military. Indian Army is so strongest that might grab Bangladesh anytime even in presence of Bangladesh Army. It is never possible of fighting against Indian Army. So it is unwise and unworthy to maintain Army in Bangladesh -as some says. Bangladesh Students Union(BSU) and Bangladesh Student League (BSL) including all pro-socialism, pro-Communism Student branches of political parties always have been campaigning in School, College and University Campuses since 1972 with the slogans, "Senabahinir Budget rokho-Seekkha khatey Budget Barao,"etc etc. These organisations were controlled by Indian Intelligence Research and Analyses wing-RAW through the Youths and Student leaders those were trained by RAW officers in India during the Bangladesh liberation war in 1971. We were the students in '70s. We also were trained the leadership training in Dehradun Military academy in India and campaigned on it following our Central and national political leaders after liberation. Our leaders like other party leaders patronised student followers to form arms cadres arming the courageous and dedicated brilliant students. So politicians turned the educational campus into musclemen recruiting camps, drug distributing place, smuggling materials carrying agents and pimps contact centers. Thus gradually the youth muscle cadres were formed under the command of Ex-Student leaders. In this situation the educational atmosphere totally collapsed in Bangladesh and the students became frustrated on their future and day by day started becoming the burdens of their family against their intentions. Political leaders did not care to grow and train intelligence agencies for getting clues of anti- country activities inside the country and did not feel of establishing intelligence in abroad of looking after the interests of the country. Political government focused their activities on the magic of political speech of accusations to the rival party. They were engaged of cashing the credits of encountering political party forces through their party muscles and fulfilling the assignments of the foreign intelligence guardians. Politics became the source of becoming rich persons through unchallenged corrupt ways. In the meantime the founder president Bongo Bondhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Liberation wartime and Founder Prime Minister Tajuddin Ahmed and other politicians were assassinated.Lots of war heroes were assassinated including another President and sector Commander Major General Ziaur Rahman Bir Uttam.Is it possible without the knowledge of RAW any power can make it happened? Who divided Bangladeshis into pieces and engaged them fighting and killing each other for these long long years and pushed Bangladesh in the door of Civilwar? Why "Mujibbad" is no more the slogan of Mujib followers? Why "Scientific socialism" is no more the slogan of JSD? Who are RAW trained leaders behind these all killings and Sabotage against destroying a generation of wealth? Who will compensate the loss of millions valuable lives of freedom fighters and brilliant students who were killed for supporting and following these political magic? Why all the times all governments of the Republic were unstable and the crime and corruptions went together with politics? Who will compensate for the frustrations of the dedicated politicians and party nominations for elections were sold to corrupt peoples and used the elections as the festivals of the corrupts and anti-Bangladesh agents? Definitely all political peoples can't be accused for crime. Most of the politicians are reasonable. They like to find democratization in the country. But majority politicians are true democrats to the public and loyal slaves of their party leaders in Bangladesh . For this double standard habit and expertise our politicians scare to come under the real systems of fare answering to the peoples. They can not accept that nation know the real picture of them. Some senior politicians shown unhappiness and criticized against the open up of the police intelligence team after the politicians. But the real dedicated politicians who love to sacrifice for peoples and confident on themselves don't care for the intelligence or whatever. The politicians who don't depend on corrupt sources of income, are not in Anti-Bangladesh payroll, have no cause of worriness. They silently welcome the Intelligence as they will be benefited through this step. The politicians support or oppose any agenda when it is helpful to them personally. We know and everybody know as Serajul Alam Khan, respectable political thinker once told me in New York at his residence in Elmhurst in an answer of a question," If there is no corruption then who will donate us for running our political campaign?" He was sincere in saying the truth, I will comment. But he did not hide in hiding the dream of the whole nation. Bangladesh is no more a traditional easy going simple society. It is being changed in inside and is influenced by the global process in every moments. Lot of foreign nationals is becoming the part of Bangladesh society and Bangladesh politics. Immigration systems are contributing new elements of inquiries in our country also. The marriage of foreign nationals of different believes and religions with Bangladeshis and diversified trades and businesses contribute of bringing the unknown characters in Bangladesh too. Who can give you surety who is not a foreign intelligence member. This is the age of terrorism. The global powers identified terrorism as the prior target to fight. United Nations have been fighting against terrorism of so many kinds across the world. Bangladesh needs it's safety. India and other neighbors have been suffering from extremism and terrorism in their politics.Afganistan and Pakistan are already fighting against terrorism and facing troubles in growing economically. They are large countries. But Bangladesh with its small size and huge possibilities of growing super power in future with geopolitical specialties needs more cautious on fighting against terrorism and anti-Bangladesh and anti-Islamic sector of provocations that for keeping it under pressures. On the other hand the new cold war between Russia and America already jump up hot recently. The military situation of the world is going out of control day by day .The situation of Kashmir also riotic. Indian Prime Minister Calls for Fight against terrorism in their Independence day on August 15th.The seven sisters political situation is going worst day by day at closer to Bangladesh Border. The example of Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan is been repeated by Russia in it's bordering Country Georgia and South Ossetia. Russia and America already face to face on nuclear defense in Poland and Czech Republic . New messages are on the way. In the meantime Bangladesh has reasonable arguments to be more alert for Bay of Bengal and Indian moves in the Indian Ocean . Under these circumstances, the eyes and ears of the Country must be kept open all-time. The Intelligence is the such tools of a nation .So, separately the Intelligence agency on politics by the Dhaka police department is a right step of the government. We appreciate the separation in Intelligence functions as well as police department for stepping something difference then it's pasts and introducing new avenue in profession. It might help Bangladesh for taking pro-active measures in security and fighting terrorism.   http://nation.ittefaq.com/issues/2008/08/22/news0408.htm
