The imperialist media like the BBC, the Economist, etc. and the governments like Norway have been trying their best to prop up the Hasina government after the BDR crisis, because it is them, the evil US-Israel-India axis and their allies, who installed this puppet 'democratic' government after a two-year demolition of the political process through a military-controlled interim government and then a rigged election under deployment of army. The BBC, a mouthpiece for the imperialist world, shamelessly propagated the view that the whole BDR incident was a matter of on-the-spot anger on pay demand. Now they have been slightly changing their version by asking the question: If it was pay demand only, why was there so much brutality? Most of the observers believe that it was a pre-planned massacre, and there are indications that it was pre-planned from at least two months ago (actually, probably the result of a long conspiracy, we do not have any concrete evidence yet. BDR's circulated leaflet, organised civilian processions near BDR HQ and slogans in support of the BDR demands while the killing was going on, BDR killer group's reported slogans of 'Joy Bangla', 'our leader Hasina', etc., India's immediate all out military preparations to come in with air-support, their offer of military intervention and financial help, their offer to send military peace mission to Bangladesh, their standing negotiations for joint military operation in Bangladesh, their immediate dozens of propaganda reports and articles in their media, their reported mobile link with the perpetrators of massacre while they were in action, etc. are strong circumstantial evidences). The big question is who pre-planned and executed it?? We have suggestions, circumstantial evidences and convictions, but no concrete proof. There are national and international agencies to hide the truth and give a concocted version. But, hopefully the truth will come out. The sole objective of the present Economist report from Delhi, is to build support for Hasina, who is in a precarious political situation and who was humiliated right and left by the army officers with their angry questions and 'shame, shame' slogans, in her meeting with them in the cantonment. But the present Economist report said, "She has emerged from this crisis with her reputation enhanced." If this conclusion is not an untruth, what is?!! Hasina is a Prime Minister in office, but not in power. She is a puppet in the hands of the evil axis and their lackeys in Bangladesh. What is more, she has now lost all credibility, even within her own party.

Friday March 6th 2009 Sheikh Hasina has a good mutiny
EVEN as the corpses of 56 army officers—victims of a mutiny on February 25th and 26th by Bangladesh's paramilitary border force—were being retrieved from a mass grave and sewers in Dhaka, the conspiracy histories were being written. Rabid nationalists, on the fringe of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), blamed India for the uprising, which occurred at the huge headquarters of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) force, then flared at paramilitary camps around the country... Some also accused the ruling Awami League party of plotting it, to rid the 45,000-strong Rifles of the army officers who lead them, and create a private political army. Others blamed some faction within the regular army, which has bred over a dozen coup attempts in Bangladesh's short history. Indian newspapers, just for a change, pointed the finger at Pakistan. After all, the League's two-month-old government, led by Sheikh Hasina Wajed, wants better relations with India. But in the absence, so far, of any evidence for these theories, another, almost-equally bizarre, explanation seems possible: that the mutiny, which claimed 74 people in all, including two army wives, was a scarcely planned act of madness by some hot-tempered men with guns. The shooting began during, or shortly after, a meeting of several thousand BDR soldiers with their top brass. At the meeting, the paramilitaries voiced old grievances about their low pay and inferior status, as compared with the pampered army's. A posse of BDR men carrying automatic rifles interrupted it. Most, or all, of the dead officers were killed within an hour or two. But the mutineers—and their startled comrades, a much bigger group—held out for another 30 hours, while government emissaries urged them to surrender. Sheikh Hasina promised them an amnesty. Yet the BDR gave up their weapons only when the army sent in the tanks and Sheikh Hasina threatened to use them. She has emerged from this crisis with her reputation enhanced. Having recently ended two years of rule by army-backed technocrats, during which she was jailed on corruption charges, Sheikh Hasina has reason to fear the generals. Yet she co-operated with them during the mutiny. When army officers began to rage at the killing of their comrades, especially as the bodies were disinterred amid excited casualty reports, she announced that there would be no amnesty for the killers, including five alleged ringleaders arrested this week. But hopes that the crisis might lead to better relations between the mutually-loathing main parties have already been dashed. Having quietly supported the government while the bullets were flying, the BNP reverted to oppositional type this week, calling for the resignation of the home minister. Indeed, when Sheikh Hasina warned of more mutinous trouble on March 3rd—"The game is still on and the conspirators are not taking a break"—it might have been her political opponents she had in mind. |
