Reply to Habib Siddique's 'Re:Comments on the so-called Inquiry Document of the BDR Carnage' By Taher Mia, USA I just read Mr. Habib Siddique's comments on 'Re:Comments on the so-called Inquiry Document of the BDR Carnage'. It seems that Mr. Siddique supports, albeit with some differences, the way Sheikh Hasina faced the brutal killings in the BDR headquarters. It also seems to me that he thinks that the inquiry report submitted by Mr. Anisuzzaman is based on evidence provided by different individuals questioned by the inquiry committee. Unfortunately I find it very difficult to support Mr. Siddique's views. First of all, let me ask Mr. Siddique if he had the oppotunity to listen to the audio cassette on Sheikh Hasina's visit to 'Shena Kunjo.' Almost every single surviving army officer including Lt. Col. Syed Kamruzzaman said that most of the lives would have been saved if BD army, RAB, etc. were allowed to go inside BDR headquarters in the morning of February 25, 2009. Lt. Col. Kamruzzaman went to say that the current BD government should lease out Bangladesh to [India], abolish BD army, etc. Then, most retired army officers including one former DG of BDR, Mr. Fazlur Rahman, said that military intervention would have been the right strategy to tackle the situation. So, I don't have any doubt in my mind that the whole episode of the very tragic killings in the BDR headquarters were carried out with full cognizance of some Awami League leaders and with tacit approval of Sheikh Hasina. Like her father Sheikh Hasina has allergy to the BD army and she does not have respect for human lives. Freedom fighter journalist (famous as a BBC corrspondent) Mr.Sirajur Rahman wrote that in one BBC interview Sheikh Hasina said 'I hate politics, but I joined politics only to avenge my father's death.' Her one time aide Motiur Rahman Rentu wrote (about Hasina) 'Give me more dead bodies.' When Sheikh Hasina was asked by army officers (at the Shena Kunjo) about Sahara Khatun's role on the night of February 25, 2009 she replied 'Peelkhana ta vishal'. Then why did she ask Sahara to go there? Was there shortage of competent people in Bangladesh? On the report itself [by Anisuzaman]: he named ex-BNP MP Nasiruddin Pintu, local BNP leader Mrs. Surya, etc. pointing out their political affiliation. But what about Torab Ali, his son LEATHER LITON, etc.? The readers should remember that Sheikh Hasina pointed to the location of Pintu's house while speaking in the Sangsad after the BDR carnage. It does not surprise me that she did not know that Torab Ali, an ex-BDR member, is an influential Awami League leader. If Hasina did not know it, then Mr. Anisuzzamam cannot know it. How could Mr. Anisuzaman point out anything that could contradict Sheikh Hasina! Sheikh Hasina is the paramount leader of Awami League, it is not true!! Why did not the report recommend that top Awami League leaders like Fazle Noor Tapash, Mirza Azam, Jahangir Kabir Nanak, etc.be interviewed to find out the real truth? I am very sorry to learn that the report could not establish any link between the carnage and the Jungi's loyal to BNP and Jamat-e-Islami!!!! I think that Lt. Col. (retd) Faruque, a man without any sense of self-esteem, was appropriately given the responsibility of coordinating the three different inquiry committees. From day one he has been saying that Jungi's are behind the brutal killings in Peelkhana. When journalists asked him where did he get the information about the JUNGI connection he replied 'from my own sources'. What a great reply! A minister has his own sources!! It sounds like MAFIA. Congratulations to Sheikh Hasina for appointing JEWELS like Faruque, Sahara, Dipu Moni, Romesh, etc. in her CABINET OF THE WONDERLAND!! In summary, I will say (without any reservation) that the government inquiry committee report on the BDR carnage has been tailored as per wishes of Sheikh Hasina, it is full of half-truths, if not total lies. The people of our beloved country, especially the members of the martyred BD army officers, should demand for a complete and unbiased report.
