Dear Alochok Mahathir
My points are entirely relevant to the subject. This is in line with maxims such as the pot should not call the kettle black, what is good for the goose is good for the gander, people who live in glass houses should not throw stones, what goes around comes around and my favouriote - nothing sucks like hypocrisy.
The CTG's very existence and illegality was a direct result of the criminality of both AL and BNP. You talk all day and night about AL and CTG but never ever about the rubbish mess created by BNP. Why? Why can't you see that this is very wrong?
BNP is your party because you think Tariq is a suitable General Secretary for it. Nothing wrong with supporting BNP - it is an essential party for our country. But that doesn't mean it can do what it wants. And it doesn't mean that you can complain about everybody but not BNP - and hide behind the tepid excuse of subject relevance.
BNP and AL supporters ask billion dollar questions about the CTG and Prothom Alo - but don't ask char anna questions about their own parties. It should be a joke - but actually it is an unbelievable injustice towards our country.
As if murder and mayhem, crime and corruption are unacceptable under a CTG but acceptable under a relative of Mujib or Zia. Only in Bangladesh.
We have witnessed for decades what BNP and AL are capable of - good and bad. Don't get too proud about the good because the bad is really awful. You have seen nothing about the good or bad that would be done by empowered people who are not committed to either Hasina or Khaleda - after all Jago Bangladesh lasted a few weeks only. We have seen plenty about the good and bad of people who are committed to Hasina and Khaleda.
Let us assume that I am an Ambassador for Jago Bangladesh and you are an Ambassador for BNP (or AL as you claim to be neutral!). Will your list of crimes committed by the people and ethos of Jago Bangladesh be worse than my list of the crimes committed by the people and ethos of BNP (or AL)?
What will save Bangladesh is not your right to support Hasina and Khaleda under the pretence of democracy. Bangladesh will be saved by the faith of millions in the dream that there is a future beyond Hasina and Khaleda. And as long as BNP and AL keep restricting the options of the people the realisation of that dream will be delayed.
It's why you will moan about murder committed by an undemocratic CTG but turn a blind eye to murder committed by a democratically elected BNP. What is this? Some kind of massive group orgy of denial and delusion...
Theres a saying you can hear the elders speak sometimes when they let their guard down - 'the country is beautiful but the people are screwed up'. Of course you are not used to reading this in a public forum so you will be outraged. But if you hear it in the privacy of your living room you will smile knowingly and move on. Its not just you - we all do it...
Your question is a good one. My answer is that the first country Bangladesh has to fear is Bangladeh itself - in other words the first people that Bangladeshis have to fear are other Bangladeshis.
Scream all you want - I know most of the elders in your family (or any reader's family) agree with me...
It's why you have a problem with a politically active army but have faith in those who are empowered simply and only because they are relatives of a military dictator (however benevolent he might be).
Don't think I hate you. If I beat you (assuming I did) there is no satisfaction in it. For your miserable political condition makes me quite ill. I am more miserable than you.
Regards
Ezajur Rahman
