" Commerce Minister Lt Col (retd) Faruk Khan yesterday retracted his earlier comments linking Islamist militants to the Pilkhana carnage.
He said the statements he had made before were not based on probe findings; rather they were his personal observations.
He said this at a press briefing at BDR Pilkhana headquarters.
"After an analysis of the information gleaned from different sources, it seemed to me that militants were involved. Besides, I have visited the crime scene and talked to many people," explained the minister.
The same day FBCCI President Annisul Huq said "too much talk about militant activities would only tarnish the country's image"."
==================================================================
so Faruk khan and his chamchas don't have enough brain ...to understand...that making fictious comments about islamic militants will have effects on public-moral, investments by foreign countriesand impression on Bangladesh!!
Didn't Hasina did exactly the same...as an opposition leader...while enjoying good meals overseas?
Time will tell, how much Islamic militants have caused damage to Bangladesh, and what
thugs, created and maintained by other non-islamic politicians in the past, did to our society.
There r few phrases politicians and their puppets use regularly...to create smoke-screen, like
" anti and pro liberation forces, freedom fight, islamic militants, foreign powers".
Politicians and their chamchas should also abandon the theory...that anybody condemning them...have connection with islamic militants!!!
They have fooled ordinary Bangladeshis, for too long, talking about fanatic elements in Bdesh and ' anti-liberation forces'.
Best wishes.

Dear Alochok Sajjad
I am too weary, too worn out from the agony of 25/3/09 to participate in a name calling contest with you. I would enjoy it of course, especially because I am bound to win any name calling contest with you. Bloody useless talent though!
Bhai lets be clear:
If I had my way, The CTG and the Army would still be pursuing the minus two theory now. But if we have to have an election (as per your wish) then may the best man win in every seat. In Sylhet town I supported AMA Muhith (AL) over Saifur Rahman (BNP) and in Balaganj I supported the AL candidate (a fellow Londoni) over Ilyas Ali (BNP). You want to argue about why I should have supported Saifur Rahman or Ilyas Ali? Go ahead. Try your luck.
There may have been massive rigging. I don't know. But I have not met a single BNP supporter (I know hundreds) who expected to win the election anyway. In fact many BNP supporters actually stayed at home on election day in protest at the candidates selected by BNP.
Don't think the passing of 3 years makes BNP a bunch of angels today. If BNP ran itself, the government and the country properly there would be no 1/11 and no CTG with the Army. There would be no such majority for AL. Let me spell it out for you because you need to be reminded: BNP WAS A PARTY ROTTING FROM THE INSIDE RUNNING A ROTTEN GOVERNMENT. If people like you got your stubbornness and nethri fetish out of your system you could have saved the party from its disastrous course. There is still much to do. BNP could still be the modernizing and liberalizing party par excellence. But let's not focus on that – lets focus on all other kinds of other rubbish.
I did not need your prompting to complain about the law and order situation today in Desh under AL. So stop gloating so much. Its not like you complain about anything under a BNP government.
Who funded my trip? What? You think it's a lot of money? Well maybe for you. I could fund your next trip too if you want. Or do you want an independent arbitrator to decide who between us earns more and is willing to spend more? Go ahead if you feel lucky. Though perhaps I underestimate how much can be earned nowadays selling international calling cards in Toronto : )
Real patriotism is putting the country before self, before party, before nethri. Not turning a blind eye to the stubborn flaws within oneself, one's party and one's nethri. Canada should test this concept in its immigration interviews. Canada would be better off without the crappy antics of AL and BNP on its soil.
And so finally you reach the bottom of your barrel. You bring family into it. Sigh. Bhai don't you know this is a bad sign for you? Please take care of yourself properly.
There, in Toronto, where you live, reside some of the greatest rock musicians of all time, Geddy Lee, Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson. They form possibly the greatest rock band of all time, known simply as RUSH (though U2 and Coldplay are causing trouble!). Here are some lyrics from a song of theirs. These lyrics stir every western heart when sung in stadium after stadium, continent after continent. These lyrics have for decades expressed in the simplest, deepest way the hopes of millions of Western voters. These lyrics express, in spite of the failures, what voters want from their leaders. What they will always want. In Bangladesh, under the nethri system, there is no question of our men in high places even understanding what is meant by the term 'closer to the heart'. And yet we, far more than the Canadians, need a new mentality, closer to the heart.
Closer to the heart.
Ezajur Rahman

Closer To The Heart lyrics
Rush
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mould a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart

At that time you were wearing the sheep skin. Then you demonstrated your true color when you went from Kuwait to Sylhet to participate in the election campain f Abul Mal Abdul Muhit. God know who funded your trip. After Awami League returned to power through the massive rigging with the help of MUA and his DGFI machineries, you have become a more Awami Leager than Sheikh Mujib. Within two months, Awami Leage turned the country into a living hell. People like you are blaming BNP for each and evey chaos. BNP left from power in 2006 October and now it is 2009 March. Now seems to me you are trying to jump from the ship? When the amount of postings I see of your, I imagine how much time you spend writing those. Don't you have a family? or you don't care about them?
