Dear Mr. Shamim Chowdhury, I respectfully disagree with your comments. By reading your comments, I remember a quote: "A student asks his teacher that he will obey teacher's decision during mango distribution, but he has to get the bigger one" AL has came to power because CTG gave a free and acceptable election. My question is that AL can get fair game during MP election and general people can trust AL to be voted in power. Why can't AL trust people during the Upazilla election? Why elected AL MPs have to set-up lots of Upazilla election with thugs, money, police and power. Forget about other areas, I am talking about my own areas. You are sweet talkers and want both ways. It's not actually you, I have lots of people in my own family who are brain dead as far as AL party and its supports are concern. They just can not say a spade a spade even its in different shape. Well the bottom line is the EC & ACC are dole under AL mighty and power in Bangladesh. I think a 5th grade in Bangladesh knows that and I don't have to lecture you. You are intelligent man but just not using it. I also believe that you should give credits even its your enemy. I still appreciate CTG service and that's why AL was able to come to the power. You may disagree with my arguments and it's your problem. I speak the truth and like to hear truth even it hurts somebody on the line. I also believe that if you break the glass you better fix it as far as Bangladesh politics is concern. AL has set up lots of Upazilla election results with thugs and money and AL has to find out who did it if they really appreciate general people decision who voted them in power with enthusiasm. Now AL keeps it or not that AL's problem. I will pressure them until self correctness is happened in AL. I am still asking AL leaderships to bring those culprits who manipulated many Upazilla election results and fix it with the help of EC. EC is power less in front of 800 Ibs Gorilla. I believe in free speech but with facts and reality, not with blind eyes. Thanks for your comments though. Please don't take personally, it's not only AL, any party or MPs who deprives poor people in Bangladesh is not my friend.
Regards, M. M. Chowdhury (Mithu), Virginia, USA

| Mr. M. M. Chowdhury (Mithu), you always wants government to dictate everything, which is absolutely against the norms of democracy. During two years of caretaker government, we have seen your hyperactivities in the net. Your all-out unethical support for caretaker government's every action including the ones most controversial is known to almost everyone in these forum. Netters also witnessed your 360-degree turn around when you found caretaker governments days are numbered. At one point, your restless mind even tried to exploit expatriates in the name of giving them parliamentary election nomination from different political party. Your undue activities was unmerited and nosy with political and election procedure. Unfortunately, use of Change Bangladesh banner was used to change your own fortune. Your support for caretaker government went so far that you supported military backed government to try expatriate dissidents. You came up with the list of names of expatriates whom you called traitors and called for punishments. Anyway, let me get back to the point of upozilla election instead of making opinion on sleepwalkers who walks but not toward a definite direction. Election Commission is a constitutional body, which should and is free from government's dictation. Constitutional body of election commission can take measure on all aspect related to election and they have taken so. Awami League or no other political party participated in upozilla election directly. In almost all upozilla there was more then one candidate from members of any given political party therefore no political party had any control over people who contested. Awami League's stand is comprehensible; election commission is the supreme authority, let them do their business without any governmental meddling in favor or against their investigation. Awami League high command already asked election commission to take stern action against anyone including ministers and MP if they found to be guilty of meddling with election. It is the independent constitutional election Commissions responsibility to conduct the election in a free and fair manner not the government. To meet the election commissions request government deployed hundreds of thousands of security personal from Army, Navy, BDR, Police, Ansar and other agencies under complete command of Election Commission. If they have failed to execute their responsibility fearlessly and fairly then the blame chiefly goes to election commission not the government. Election Commission constituted a judicial body to investigate suspended elections in seven upozilla out of four hundred eighty one to find discrepancy. Commission found credible proof of irregularity in seven-upozilla constituency out of four hundred and eighty one and took measure against it by withholding or canceling election result for those upozilla. Now seven out of four hundred and eighty, which is somewhere 1 plus percent. Proportionately it is very nominal and insignificant though unwanted. Expectation could be that there will be no hindrance, no disagreement, no violence, no manipulation or interference by any quarter but that is not the reality. Reality of political environment in not only in Bangladesh but also in our subcontinent is there will be some violence, manipulation, vote tempering and influence, it is unfortunate but the reality. If Bangladesh or any other country in the world could execute an election with 100% success and no error then the country will see honey and milk steaming in their rivers instead of water. Measuring the success is based on proportionate success not on absolute achievement. To election commission I will say, liberty is not what you see but what you believe and carry out. Liberty has no significance to people with no spinal column. Liberty finds no implication from a week mind, which blames others but fears to take blame from his own fallout. To the government, my demand will be stay out of decision making process of election commission and let them work independently. Let the judicial body come out with their investigation without any interference. Sincerely Shamim Chowdhury Maryland, USA

More than 50%election results should be canceled based on the reports from the ground. I like to remind that total setup by AL in Upazilla election in Munshigonj areas won't be acceptable. AL thought that this is the only Goldmine left for them since Padma Bridge will be built and will able to maximize their corrupt money with this election setup in that areas. Since I am from that area and I can speak more with facts and ground reports. This is the high time for AL to be credible for the next 5 years. They should cancel all Upazilla election results from these areas as soon as possible. You were so greedy that one case you dished your own 25 yrs AL honest veterans leader and failed him with vote rigging and set-up since he won't allow any corruption in that areas for Padma Bridge. Before your mask gets out to the public, it's your own benefit to make it honest and make it better and make it right NOW. I will keep pressuring you to cancel these disputed results until you fix it yourself. If you do not do, your credibility will be worst soon. I will work to save poor people wealth and their future in that areas. Regards, M. M. Chowdhury (Mithu) ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ------\ ------------ --------- --------- --------- ----- The Election Commission (EC) today suspended the polls results of seven upazilas in line with the allegations of massive irregularities during the polling. The upazilas are Banchharampur in Brahmanbaria, Araihazar in Narayanganj, Teknaf in Cox's Bazaar, Kaliganj in Gazipur, Mehendiganj in Barisal, Muradnagar in Comilla and Raipura in Narsingdi, Election Commissioner M Sakhawat Hussein said. The election commissioner said a judicial inquiry committee will be formed to investigate the allegations and a final decision will be taken after the committee files its report. On a query he said, "Legal steps will be taken against the lawmakers accused of exerting political influence in the January 22 upazila elections ." On the election day, the EC called off elections to Brahmanbaria Sadar, Ramganj in Laxmipur, Barura in Comilla and Belkuchi in Sirajganj while polling of Dighinala (Khagrachari) and Ukhia (Cox's Bazaar) had been put off before the voting day. The commissioner said the judicial inquiry committee will also investigate the irregularities in the upazilas where elections were postponed. Re-election in these six upazilas would be held sometime soon, Sakhawat added. --- End forwarded message --- | |
