Many thanks for ur well-written note. You will be happy to know that writing few comments in Yahoo, is just part of my hobbies/passion.
I do work for betterment of Bnangaldesh, as silently as possible, without any political/ other motivation.
AL are not the only morons in bdesh, I do talk about other destructive,inefficient, corrupt elements in Bangladesh as well.
By the way, I dont belong to any political party...many years ago...I thoought leftist parties can change the quality of life..for the common people. And still think so!
But some of the AL chamchas, write in-tolerable letters, praising Hasina + AL, and tries to justify all the evil activities of AL
is the past.
You don't need to be in power to be a destructive force...Hasina is the only person alive, among the present + past PM in Bangladesh, who spread
inflammatory words against Bangladesh, against her own country ,while lavishly enjoying her days overseas, SHE is the ONLY politician in Bangladesh, who manufactured the theory that " Bangladesh is becoming a al-kaida land " under BNP!
Such allegations are dangerous, with so much negative + distorted publicity against muslims. How these distorted words can affect the minds of donor
countries.
Tarek has proved to be 1 of the biggest thieves in Bdesh...no doubt. But who finances Hasina's frequent trips overseas and shopping spree
( including expensive house ) for her children?!
What percentage of people belong to al-kaida in Bdesh?
How many people al-kaida and saudi wahabis can buy in Bdesh? Very few...these are insignificant forces in Bdesh.
You havnt expressed enough anger/emotion/passion...against the " dynasty system "...in Bdesh!!
There are more brilliant politicians than Tarek + Joy!!
Do you want to join me...to offer a scholarship to 2 master's students....to explore the extent of damages caused to Bdesh ....by Jamaat , and non-jamaat
forces!? Do you understand, very few BNP+ AL chamchas want to talk about it? From tomorrow..they will be calling me a " jamaat supporter".
Any body who is keen to reveal the simple fact...that AL+BNP+JP...have done more damages to Bdeshi people than...Jamaat and others, become a target of AL+ BNP thugs.
Have you ever thought about it, spoken about it, written comments about it? Please do...and do it more frequently.
Can you also tell us...why the nation could not get rid of these corrupt political elements...in the past many years?
AL+BNP+JP...morons have done enoromous damage to our economy + morality + social fabrics...it will take years to repair that.
Hope you will be there...to offer a helping hand...to poor/disabled/orphans/helpless...people, without expecting any reward.
Best wishes + eid mubarak.
Khoda hafez.

If you have the illusion that your postings are very thought provoking, classy, well documented and not just cheap, I am not here to defend Prince Joy. Should I inform these ignorant educated people (PhDs, Doctors,Engineers and best muslims on the earth etc.)that our beloved prophet Hazrat Mohammad (peace be upon him) had also married a non-Muslim. Who can hold a public office higher than him?
Bangladesh was liberated through a bloody war some 37 years ago. The country is still facing multitude of problems. Awami League was in power for around 8.5 years (including the initial period when everything in the country was in a big mess) out of these 37 years. Can these very rational educated people tell if Awami League is solely responsible for all the miseries of the people of Bangladesh? Guaranteed Awami League made mistakes and may be blunders during their era but why those mistakes were not rectified later on.
Nothing to say if your grudge against Awami League is personal. However, being an educated person should not we expect from you and people like you, for the sake of the interest of Bangladesh, to come above your personal hatred (what may ever be the reason for that). Don't you think you are wasting too much of your time for anti-Awami League propaganda? My brotherly suggestion, utilize this time for the betterment of Bangladesh.
Who is keen to establish family dynasty in Bangladesh? No educated and well wisher of Bangladesh can support it. My problem, I cannot hate a person only because of his/her family background.
Why these elites are mum about Prince Tariq? Given the opportunity to choose one good between the two whom will you select? I know your response. Very smartly you will say none of these two. But by your previous writings I can read your mind.
Regards
Junaid

London doctor is held as forced marriage hostage
Race is on to release trainee GP lured to Bangladesh by family, held captive, beaten, and about to marry a stranger against her will. Nina Lakhani reports

The Independent

Dr Humayra Abedin has been held captive in Bangladesh since August by her parents, who have ignored orders from the high court in Dhaka to release their daughter
British lawyers were this weekend working frantically to rescue a London doctor who has been beaten and held captive in Bangladesh in an attempt to force her into marriage. Dr Humayra Abedin, known as Dorothy to her friends, this weekend faces being forced to marry a complete stranger, unless efforts by lawyers to free her, using new powers, succeed.
Dr Abedin is being held hostage by her family in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, where she is thought to have been gagged, bound and violently beaten to get her to comply with her parents' wishes. The 33-year-old trainee GP is depressed, suicidal and without hope, according to an email she managed to send to a close friend last Friday. This is the first time friends have heard from Dr Abedin for more than three months.
Her parents and uncle were yesterday served with a Forced Marriage Order issued by the British High Court on Friday. Dr Abedin, who has worked as a doctor in the Britain since 2002, is among the first cases to be heard under the Forced Marriage Act which came into force on 25 November. The move came after the family ignored orders from the Bangladeshi high court to bring Dr Abedin to court.
The new legislation allows judges to issue protection orders to prevent forced marriage and help to rescue victims who have already been married off. Those convicted of forcing people into marriage can be jailed for up to two years.
Anne-Marie Hutchinson, the barrister from Renaissance Chambers acting for Dr Abedin, said: "There are real concerns for the safety of this young woman. It is understood that she is to be married this weekend. The Forced Marriage Act offers protection to all residents of this country. It makes it clear that because she lives here it is not just a domestic matter for the Bangladesh authorities. "
While the Act is not enforceable in Bangladesh, lawyers for Dr Abedin are confident it will strengthen the resolve of the authorities in Dhaka.
The only child of Mohammed Joynal Abedin, a retired businessman, and his wife, a housewife, Dr Abedin trained as a doctor in Bangladesh and then came to England in 2002 to study at Leeds University. She has since set up home in Leyton, east London ,while working in hospitals across the capital. Dr Abedin is described by friends as an intelligent young woman who loves Bollywood films and Hindi music. She is only a year away from qualifying as a GP.
Her Muslim family became incensed after she developed a close friendship with a Hindu Bangladeshi man she met in London. Since May, they have made several attempts to keep her away from him and to force her into marriage. The Metropolitan Police launched an inquiry at the end of June, after she was held captive in her flat by her mother and uncle, who visited for several days. Her case has also been taken up by Interpol.
Her family duped her into returning to Bangladesh in August, by claiming her mother was seriously ill. They then hid her passport and plane ticket, and have held her captive since 5 August. She has been subjected to physical and psychological violence and denied contact with friends or lawyers. There are also unconfirmed claims that Dr Abedin has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital at the wishes of her parents, who have insinuated in court that her relationship with a Hindu man is a sign of mental illness.
Deprived of any access to a telephone or internet, Dr Abedin somehow managed to send an email to a close friend last Friday. The tone of the email conveys the desperation of her plight. She wrote: "I wish I could see you once in my lifetime. This is the only wish I have. Most important thing is Please try to forgive me if you can. I AM SORRY. Please don't hate me. My life is already ruined. I don't care any more. I just want to end my life as nothing left to live and look forward to. You are one of the best person. I will always remember you. I wanted to grow old with you. It will never happen now."
Dr Abedin is one of hundreds of young British men and women who are thought to be forced into marriages every year. In the first nine months of this year, the Government's Forced Marriage Unit was contacted by 1,308 concerned callers fearing they or someone close to them might be forced into marriage. The unit directly helped 388 of these victims – nearly twice as many as in 2007.
The Ministry of Justice minister, Bridget Prentice, said: "I am delighted that the courts have already begun to make use of the Forced Marriage Order to prevent forced marriage. This is very significant and demonstrates quite clearly that the Act will make a real difference to the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our society. I expect the Act to send a clear message that forced marriage is a fundamental abuse of human rights and will not be tolerated. Forced marriage, like other forms of domestic violence, is underreported, so we do not know the full extent of the problem."
Lawyers acting for Dr Abedin's cousin are pursuing the case in Bangladesh. The high court in Dhaka has for the fourth time ordered her parents and uncle – who are in contempt of court – to bring her before the judge on 14 December. The cousin, Dr Shipra Chaudhury, is said to be under huge pressure to withdraw the petition.
The majority of British victims involve families of South Asian origin, but there are cases from a range of countries including Somalia, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. Another protection order has been issued for an 18-year-old girl who has been missing in Iraq for more than a year.
Ms Hutchinson said: "Dr Abedin's case shows that even bright and educated adult women can fall foul of these practices. These proceedings will not end until she is produced. If we are too late and she has been married, it [the Forced Marriage Act] will help us to bring nullity proceedings for her."
