BDR Carnage :Let us know our foe & friend By Mohammad Zainal Abedin Bangladesh survived yet another a debacle that extremely stunned and aggrieved the Bangladeshis living in home and abroad due to the loss of lives of our great sons during the abrupt and foiled BDR mutiny in Dhaka. Bangladeshis have no room to mourn the immature death of about one hundred brilliant officers of our beloved and glorious Army and we express our solidarity with and sympathy to the members of their grieved families. The plan and pattern of mutiny and its unprecedented havoc within shortest period of time, uncovers one truth that the mutiny was preplanned having deep-rooted conspiracy of destroying not only our Army, but also the country. It was designed by the adversaries of Bangladesh so that the nation is divided into two groups Army versus BDR, which would lead to civil war. We hail the Army for showing uncommon restraint, tolerance and patience under such an abrupt situation that saved the country from unthinkable debacle. Analyzing prevailing situation, I would suggest the government to dismantle the existing BDR and reform and rename it with new recruits. Foreign intelligence agencies infiltrated their agents in BDR. So this force is no longer secured for Bangladesh. As some of the derailed BDR members stood against the country and deliberately massacred about one hundred brilliant army officers with a view to throwing the country to the civil war, which is tantamount to treason. As a result people in general will hate the name 'BDR' and the term 'BDR' will always remain as a symbol of hatred. So the name of the border protectors should be replaced by a new name. Government should invite names from people and select suitable one. I, however, opt to propose some names such Bangladesh Simanta Sena (Bangladesh Border Soldiers), Bangladesh Simanta Rikkhi (Bangladesh Border Protectors), Bangladesh Simanta Prohori (Bangladesh Border Guards) etc. Government should remain vigil in recruiting the members of the proposed new border guards. Government should allow those personnel of BDR who did not participate in the mutiny. In the case of new recruits government should attach importance to family background and heredity alongside educational qualification and personal qualities of the candidates. A man of high morality could never commit such crimes what the cursed BDR members committed in BDR Headquarters that included cool-brain murder, torture, robbery, even rape, which are unprecedented by the law enforcers of any independent country. Such series of crimes might not have happened if precautionary measures were taken at the time of recruitment. The patronage and role of the hidden power is to be identified through non-political in-depth investigation that staged mutiny from behind the screen. It is now clear that availing lame excuses some BDR personnel were used as their tools to cause a heavy blow not only on Bangladesh Army, but also its independence and sovereignty. It is to be particularly ascertained whether there was any foreign hand behind the mutiny. Government should be very cautious and prudent in dealing with the situation and should not accept any offer of assistance from any country which may emerge as another headache for the country. We should depend on Allah and on ourselves and stand on our own legs. All should be united shunning our pity coterie and political self-interest and face our adversaries with a strong hand. We should save this country for our future generations. Let us know our friend and foe. http://newsfrombangladesh.net/view.php?hidRecord=251872 |
