[ALOCHONA] Re: The snake is still hissing…but susil media don't want you know

Dear Alochok Mahathir

Tarique's resignation as senior GS of BNP surprised no one - least of
political commentators. You need to find a new style of pushing your
agenda. Outright indignation is a better - and more honest - style
than fake indignation.

Editorials must first seek to present themselves as unbiased and
logical. The military controlled interim government cannot logically
remove the GS of a politcial party. This is the line of editorials.
But editors know very well that Tarique should not be the GS of BNP
and that this government is trying to remove him. So there is no real
surprise on their part.

In truth, editors across the board are more angry about the fact that
this government's agenda has apparently failed than the fact that
undemocratic methods have been applied. But they can't say that...

Thank God Tariq was forcibly removed from the post of senior GS.

Who do YOU think should be the senior GS of BNP?

Regards

Ezajur

retired from politics. This news surprised many political observers
and to them something did not sound right. Khaleda Zia herself
mentioned that her son would not be able to be involved in ground
political activities in Bangladesh while he undergoes treatment
abroad and this treatment be as long as two-three years. But a formal
resignation and faxing it to newspaper offices after midnight was
rather unusual.

This news item published in the New Age mentions how an ailing and
hurting Tarique Rahman was virtually held hostage at ZIA airport by
members of military intelligence, DGFI. Here is how New Age described
it,
>
> …Tarique was made to sign a paper, which he was very unwilling to
do, by members of the intelligence agencies at the Zia International
Airport, according to sources in the airport. ‘They threatened
Tarique Rahman that he would not be allowed to fly unless he signed
the undertaking,’ said an airport source. ‘The word
“undertaking” was, however, replaced with “statement” as he
was unwilling to sign the paper,’ he added. According to the text
of the paper written in incorrect Bangla and carrying Tarique’s
‘signature’, which was faxed from ‘SIG CEN DGFI’ through the
number 8752921 at 12.34am on September 12 to New Age and some other
newspapers too, he ‘relieved himself’ of the charge of senior
joint secretary-general of BNP and retired from active politics…

paper) published in Daily Amader Shomoy. Amader Shomoy also published
the news item without mentioning the name of DGFI.

Moeen and his con men in DGFI are still very much active behind the
scene. They are still breathing at the neck of Bangladesh.

the indignation of righteousness and despite the fact that they claim
themselves bunch of honest, educated “do-gooders”; all they did
in last two years are nothing but dirty politics.

minister and leader of the most organized and one of the largest
political parties in Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina was arrested hours
after she dared criticize DGFI for it’s illegitimate activities.
> Generally the question will arise that on what ground DGFI has to
poke its nose in partisan politics of the country. Who they are to
take undertaking from politicians whether he/she will do politics or
not?
> Those days are coming when the DGFI and those few generals also
have to sign another undertaking. This undertaking will be given to
the nation that they would refrain from illegally poking their nose
into jurisdictions which is not their mandate.
> Since 1/11/2007; the activities of the army chief and the
leadership of DGFI have seriously undermined the integrity of these
two institutions. Never in the past, had an army chief (without
holding any administrative leadership role like CMLA etc.) abused his
post so much for petty personal political gains. Same thing is true
of DGFI, which has ventured way deep into a territory which is
definitely not their jurisdiction. DGFI was a fine institution and
this organization was built by hardworking members of Bangladesh
armed forces. And the truth is that an overwhelming majority of the
members of these forces do not support the current activities of
DGFI. One army chief and some of his con men generals have used this
organization for their personal gain and vendetta. If a democratic
government is allowed to take over after a meaningful election, there
is no doubt this fine institution will come under the wrath and may
even be stripped off essential fund

definitely does not serve the national interest of Bangladesh.
