[mukto-mona] Fw: poor deshbhakt!!



"However, police sources told Arab News that Gafoor has been made a scapegoat by the Congress-led Democratic Front government and that it had used Gafoor when it needed prior to state assembly polls after which they dumped him. The chances of a minority IPS police officer, a Muslim, heading the state police force for the first time have now evaporated into thin air. The mind-boggling question that still remains to be answered is why the acting state DGP Anami Narayan Roy, who was the DGP then, and should have been in the command, was left scot-free and why the services of terrorism expert and former DGP S.S. Virk were not requisitioned by the government, the sources asked"

DGP Gafoor in dock over Mumbai terror attacks

Shahid Raza Burney | Arab News

 

NAGPUR: Giving a clean chit to senior police officials and the state government, the two-member Pradhan Committee's report into last November's Mumbai terror attacks blamed the then Mumbai police commissioner and presently director general of police (housing), Hassan Gafoor, for lack of leadership during the terror attacks.

The report cited several lapses on the part of Gafoor, adding that other police officials performed their duties sincerely.

In the covering letter attached to the 90 page report presented to Chief Minister Ashok Chavan in July, Ram Pradhan, chairman of the panel, said that Gafoor had failed in handling the terror attacks and that there was an absence of leadership on Gafoor's part and lack of his visible command and control at his office.

Pradhan also stated in the covering letter that there were several lacunae in the working within the state government secretariat and the police administration. "Gafoor didn't exhibit adequate initiative in handling the attack and remained rooted at one sport near the Trident Hotel throughout the operations … he failed to give any directions and had not enquired about the ongoing operations. During a crisis like the Mumbai terror attacks, Gafoor should have been in the command center in the control room which might have helped prevent duplication of efforts by different units," Pradhan stated in the letter.

Giving a clean chit to the police and the state government, the panel said that they noticed no failure in acting on input provided by the federal intelligence agencies. The war-like attack was beyond the capacity of Mumbai police or any police set-up. It had to be tackled by specialized forces like the National Security Guards (NSG). The panel report also stated there were no serious lapses in the way Mumbai police acted and praised several police officers including lavishing praise on the role of Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria.

The panel also again came down heavily on Hassan Gafoor, and said that he did not exhibit adequate initiative in handling the multi-pronged attack and remained at one spot near Trident Hotel through out the operations. For lack of command and control at the police commissioner's office, an impression that the police handled the operation ineffectively was created in the eyes of the public.

On the criticism part in the report, the panel said that several senior officers told the panel that Gafoor did not give any directions nor enquired of ongoing operations during those three days of attacks. "We found that although Gafoor kept in touch on wireless and mobile on selective basis, several officers felt that they did not get a feeling that they were part of the team. The panel is of the view that Gafoor should have been in the command center in the control room," the report stated.

However, police sources told Arab News that Gafoor has been made a scapegoat by the Congress-led Democratic Front government and that it had used Gafoor when it needed prior to state assembly polls after which they dumped him. The chances of a minority IPS police officer, a Muslim, heading the state police force for the first time have now evaporated into thin air. The mind-boggling question that still remains to be answered is why the acting state DGP Anami Narayan Roy, who was the DGP then, and should have been in the command, was left scot-free and why the services of terrorism expert and former DGP S.S.

[ALOCHONA] Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison



Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison

By Gopal Sengupta, Canada

Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury while speaking at a seminar on last Saturday, rightly observed that many a lawmaker do not go through the texts of the laws before passing them into laws, and said that the legislators needed to seriously discuss the proposed laws, usually drafted by the bureaucrats, in Parliament for the sake of safeguarding the democratic interests of the people.

But the state minister for law, Advocate Quamrul Islam, loves to violate rules has been proved on more than one occasion over the past one year. That he also loves to make irresponsible comments on well meaning people genuinely concerned with rule of law and human rights has been proved on Sunday, when he publicly threatened with actions, censure motion included, against Justice Nazrul Islam of the Bangladesh Supreme Court for the latter's observation that the lawmakers need to critically examine a bill before passing it to be a law. The state minister believes that the privileges of the legislators have been affected by the judges public observation.

Moreover, the sharp reaction that the state minister came up with against the democratically oriented judge in question is highly contemptible on two distinctive grounds. The minister appears to have distorted the comments of the judge first as the latter did not call the members of parliament illiterate, rather he criticised the carefree legislative process through which the laws are usually made in parliament, without the bills, usually drafted by the bureaucrats, being inadequately examined by the parliament members. Had all our legislators, the elected representatives of the people in other words, been a little more attentive to the law making process, we would like to believe, Jatiya Sangsad would not have made many a law which is undemocratic in essence and therefore fails to uphold the democratic interests of the people. Secondly, he failed to understand that the special privileges granted to the Members of Parliament could hardly be considered affected by the criticism of anyone and that the MPs were not paying adequate attention to the legislative process they are expected to pay in a democratic polity.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asked the Law Minister and the State Minister for Law to be cautious about making any remark on judges, Prime Minister wanted to know why they had made negative remarks about Supreme Court judge Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury. The ministers tried to defend their act but the prime minister was apparently dissatisfied with their answer, sources said.

The progress of a country depends critically on the mindsets and motivation of those who are charged with the responsibility of making the critical decisions in the life of a nation. We must discuss an equally important area of public policy, namely internal security and law and order. Development and security are truly mutually interrelated. We need therefore, to evolve a combined strategy to deal simultaneously with the twin challenges of development and security within the framework of a democratic polity committed to respect for all fundamental human freedoms and committed to upholding the rule of law.

Yet, there are challenges that our democracy faces. These challenges arise partly because of the unevenness of our growth processes, the iniquities that remain in our social institutions and the shortcomings sometimes of our political institutions. Often these challenges also arise because we are an open society and have allowed free expression to descent of varying degrees. This is not our weakness. This is our strength. But in this also lies the challenge that we need to deal with and grapple with effectively.

A democratic government has to make a distinction between the genuine and legitimate expression of descent and disaffection and the manifestations of anti-national, antisocial and anti-people threats to our democratic way of life. There are today many challenges to internal security: criminal activity, extremism, insurgency, terrorism, communal violence and atrocities against women. Our security forces are duty bound to deal with crime and law and order problems within the framework of clearly explained laws. Insurgency and extremism, on the other hand, have a political dimension that often requires the political management of a security situation. The challenge of terrorism must be faced squarely and resolutely by all shades of political opinion. There can be no political compromise with terror. No inch conceded. No compassion shown. The people of Bangladesh have suffered a great deal at the hands of terrorists. Our Government would resolute in its determination to wipe out this threat to a civilised and democratic way of life. There are no good terrorists and bad terrorists. There is no cause, root or branch, that can ever justify the killing of innocent people. No democratic Government can tolerate the use of violence against innocent people and against the functionaries of a duly established democratic Government.

When genuine descent becomes extremism there can be no ambivalence about tackling it, even if it be only symptomatic. I urge, should recognise these different facets of the security threats we face and develop effective policies designed to address them. Our citizens are free to choose the particular brand of politics they wish to follow, they have the freedom to take recourse to collective action to achieve the social, political or economic changes that they desire, but no one is either permitted or expected to resort to violence to achieve these ends or to try and prevent elected functionaries from doing what they are supposed to do. This should be made amply clear in our policy announcements. Talks and negotiations should always be welcomed. I have repeatedly stressed that we are ready to talk to any group that abjures violence

In spite of massive protest locally and internationally, the government of Bangladesh has not taken any significant steps to stop the extrajudicial killings. Either the government is unwilling or it is not capable of stopping such killings. It is time to resist this massive violation of peoples right to life, which now takes place, as it seems, with the government's direct or tacit consent. We urge everyone to take part in active protests to stop these killings and to return to the democratic way of life, as envisaged in the constitution of the Republic. Currently, the country's constitution as well as the international obligations that Bangladesh has agreed to remain flouted by such killings.

To prevent further killings of activists and human rights defenders and to avert a new social crisis in the country, the government must take immediate action regarding these matters. First, and most obviously, full investigations and judicial inquiries must follow without delay, with a view to holding the perpetrators fully accountable for their crimes and making clear that this pattern of killings will not be allowed to continue. Secondly, witness protection must be given to all persons who have witnessed the crimes. Thirdly, the Commission on Human Rights of Bangladesh must play an active role by co-ordinating its work with the National Bureau of Investigation, rather than waiting for other agencies to take the initiative, and by considering recommendations to indemnify the families of the dead.

The ministers would therefore be well advised to concentrate on observing rules and laws properly while discharging his ministerial responsibility, rather then publicly abusing democratically oriented people upholding the principles of rule of law and human rights. Some people question whether Bangladesh will ever be able to attain its true potential. I have no doubt about this. We are rapidly moving forward. We have faith in ourselves. We have political stability. Our democracy is an example for the developing world. We are gaining in economic, social and judicial strengths. And most importantly, we have full confidence in our judges. They are our future. I am sure that they will take our country to a new glory. Let us all commit ourselves today to working for a golden future. Let us resolve that nation building will be our highest duty. Fear is not the natural state of civilized people. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.

[ALOCHONA] Re: copenhagen summit:Have we informed the world how india damaged our echological balance?



Brother Aminul
 
A very pertinent question that peeps in the minds of millions of Bangladeshis. Before we get any answer from any die hard BAL activists we put forward some questions :
 
a. First of all do we have any political direction without HINDU  STAAANI control ????????
 
b. Do we have self dignity to stand for our cause in the region as well as in international forums ??
 
c. Do we have the honesty to call a spade a spade infront of their(politicians) mentors/masters ???

d. Why we fail again n again to make a simple "Uh ! at the brutal killing of our citizens by BSF ??
 
e. Why we are opening all the doors (perhaps the bed room as well ??) for masters interest
     without getting any access at all for ourselves as well ?  ???????????????????????
 
f. Why we shout or bark like dogs favouring HINDU  STAAAAN to build disastrous Tipai Mukhi
    Dam having  environmental/ecological disaster engulfed the southern part part by Farakka??
 
g. Why we failed to free the encircled people of Dahagram/Angopota by the bestial security
     force(bsf) even after handing over the sovereignty of Beru Bari brought by ocean of blood ??
 
So, my dear friends you cannot expect from Mir jafars/umi chand/jogot sheth/GOSHETHI BEGUM
as they are n their connivers are born to defame,destroy n subjugate the freedom asipiring people.

[mukto-mona] JS body for law on custodial death, torture : We Want An Early Legislation_________________________



 

 


 

JS body for law on custodial
death, torture : We Want An Early Legislation

Newspapers have reported that an all-party parliamentary body unanimously agreed to enact a law for preventing custodial deaths and torture by all law enforcing agencies, with a maximum death penalty.  The parliamentary standing committee on private members’ bills and resolutions at its meeting Tuesday discussed a bill on prevention of custodial deaths and tortures.The  bill proposed that if any person dies in custody or becomes victim of torture at the hands of law enforcing agencies, the perpetrators will be held responsible.
   The bill also proposes death sentence for those responsible for deaths in custody. The minimum punishment for minor torture in custody is temporary suspension from service.  ‘We the MPs, irrespective of political identities, have approved the passage of the law to stop custodial deaths and tortures,’ Abdul Matin Khasru, the committee chairman, told bdnews24.com Tuesday evening after the meeting at parliament building. ‘I support the bill as custodial deaths and tortures worry us and the common people alike,’ Syeda Asifa Ashrafi Papiya, the lone member of the BNP at the committee, said. The chairman said his committee would finalise its recommendations on the bill at its next meeting for further scrutiny. As per the parliamentary practices, the bill will be tabled in parliament subject to approval of speaker. The bill can only be passed in parliament if the treasury bench desires. Otherwise, the private-member bill will be rejected by parliament after holding discussion on it.
   ‘According to the bill, law enforcer charged with custodial deaths and tortures must have to prove their innocence,’ Khasru said. According to Bangladesh’s legal principle, the plaintiff must prove the accused persons guilty. ‘I have inserted such provision for the accused to prove innocence as none other than the custodians are the witness of human rights violation in custody,’ Saber Hossain said after the meeting. He clarified that Bangladesh signed the UN convention against torture in 1998. ‘Bangladesh is in obligation to enact such law in line with the UN convention,’ he said.‘The bill should be considered as a tool to establish rule of law, good governance and protect human rights’.  Khasru said Saber’s bill will also propose punishment for the instigators.

We welcome the move. We are not sure whether this bills include cross-fire by the agencies because this is done by without taking the persons involved in official custody. Inclusion of the cross-fire deaths is a must in the present circumstances. Cross-fire must stop and no argument should stand in banning it.If necessary , longer preventive detention in certain category of cases may be considered.

There is no doubt that the post 1971 political skills of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman are questionable and debatable but his personal dedication to the cause of Bengali nationalism is indisputable. To every Bengali the dream of a sovereign land where only the Bengalis will rule is a dream entrenched in the antiquity. Through the dedicated leadership of Mujib that historical dream was realized. Mujib did not die for his blunders; he was brutally murdered for his blind reliance on his most incapable, selfish and dishonest followers. His sincere and selfless contributions to the cause of our freedom can't be washed away by his mistakes. Ask and hold those followers responsible who pathetically misled and ill advised a great leader that brought a tragic end to his career. It will be an act most ungrateful to opine that Mujib could be trashed in the garbage of history. There is no harm in identifying his lapses but it will be an outright act of ignorance and disrespect to malign and vilify him by denying him the dignity he deserves.

Dear Alochoks
 
It never ceases to amaze me what sycophants and idol worshippers us Bangladeshis are.
 
Mujib was a great wartime leader. He inspired and led Bangladeshis to secure independence from the Pakistani yoke. He is the Father of the Nation and Bangabandhu.
 
Mujib was an incompetent administrator, a poor father to his children, pompous and obsessed with self-egrandisement. His legacy is the politicization of every organ of government - a legacy that millions of Bangladeshis have paid for with their lives every year since Independence, they are paying today and will continue to do so.
 
I celebrate Independence and Mujib's role in it.
 
I mourn independent Bangladesh and Mujib's role in it.
 
Period.

Subject: [ALOCHONA] Maudud on Mujib!!!


The
unmitigated gall, the audacity, the chutzpah, the tawdriness--is truly lamentable indeed. How else one can respond to this invective, vituperative and blatantly partisan diatribe by anti-Mujib forces in Bangladesh. Let the forum members judge Bongobondoo after reading a excerpt from Barrister Maudud Ahmed's
book--writes Maudud, "Greatest Bengali of All Time…Mujib is the greatest phenomena of our history. His death was not his end. He will continue to remain as a legend in the political life of Bangladesh. No body gave so much to the Bengalis political independence and national identity. He was the symbol of Bengalee Nationalism. The fact that there is a country called Bangladesh is a sufficient testimony to Mujib's status as a legend of our age.  Despite Mujib's many failures, the fact that Mujib was sincere and his intentions were genuine and that he loved his people should not be questioned. As a Nationalist he tried his best to bring Bangladesh out of the Indian subjugation. He was able to send out the Indian army from the soil of Bangladesh within 2 months after his arrival. He flew over Indian Territory to their utter disgust to attend the Islamic summit in Lahore. He established the Aid to Bangladesh Consortium in 1974. He removed Tajuddin to reduce the weight of Indo-Soviet influence. Mujib's return to Bangladesh in itself saved the new country from further and perpetual subjugation. Had Mujib been killed by the Pakistani Junta he would have been immortal and would have become the greatest martyr of our history. If he had been killed by the Pakistanis---there would have been a civil war and the country would still be under Indian Army's control. Mujib's arrival from Pakistan brought a deep sense of relief to all the people of Bangladesh who were living in the midst of most dangerous uncertainties.  It seems that Mujib came back from the pedestal of an immortal betting only to die for saving the independence for which he struggled. It is true that Mujib faced a tragic death but he left Bangladesh free and independent. Maudud Ahmed P 313-318 'Era of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman". 'Mujib's arrival from Pakistan brought a deep sense of relief to all the people of Bangladesh, who were living in the midst of most dangerous uncertainties'.

Zia saved the country from the anarchy, Zia is the true savior. Zia is the most post-liberation progressive leader of bangladesh. While Seikh Mujib has a premitive thinking of Hitlar to be a dictator, and destroy democracy to instill his kingdom in Bangladesh, Zia thrives the country in the right direction.

Truth has to be told, history need to be said properly.

Dear sirs,

 

Assalamu Alaikum.General Zia did nothing on 15th Auguast. There is no proof.Even the case in which Bangladesh Supreme Court has given judgment , there is no mention of Zia,.As Maudud Ahmad has said the judgment shows that Zia had no role.

 

Zia saved the country from falling back to Awami League's BAKSHAL rule, one party dictatorship and also re-asserted the Islamic identity of the nation.

 

No other nation or group other than Bangladesh Army was involved. All other things are just Awami propaganda.

  Pakistani agents infiltrated Baksali supported army in 1975 ??
  What a
  ridiculous claim. No scholarly article/book has ever made such a
  funny claim. The BD army in 1975 was very much a pro-Bangladeshi
  force who had played the leading role in the war of liberation
  against the Paki army. The officers who killed Mujib and toppled
  Baksali regime were all active freedom fighters with missionary
  zeal, unlike many AL leaders who were enjoying the sensuous
  pleasures in Kolkata the entire time during the liberation
  struggle). These army officers were all against Pakistani Gov. and
  supportive of liberation war. They staked their life for it. Why
  would they suddenly become Paki lovers in 1975? Doe it make sense?
  It makes sense for them to become anti Mujib/Baksal. They were not
  anti-AL even. They installed an AL gov. headed by Balist Moshtaque
  comprising majority of then then AL parliament members

  The reason they turned against Mujib and Baksal is manyfold. But
  none of those manyfold reasons had anything to do with
  infiltration by Pakistani elements. The manyfold reasons have all
  been well documented by many scholarly writings by professional
  journalists and intellectuals/ historians. In a nutshell the reason
  were the rampant corruption by AL/Baksal, the undemocratic
  measures widely adopted by Mujib to silence/torture opposition and
  keep his power through using Rakkhi Bahini and other private
  armies (like Lal Bahini, Awami Shechchha Shebok Bahini etc). There
  was widespread public resentment against the Mujib regime from
  1974 onwards. So much so that ASM Rob could declare "Mujib, we
  will peel your skin and make shoes out of it" to the thunderous
  applause of hundreds of thousands attending his rally in Paltan.
  Adding fuel to fire was the insulting of some army officers by
  some AL hooligans and Mujib's siding with the hooligans. None of
  these had anything to do with Pakistani elements. As I said the
  army  majors who fought against Pakistan in 1971 had no reason to
  suddenly become Pakistan lovers in 1975. In fact majors Farook and
  Rashid were very much nationalists then as they were during 1971
  and totally opposed to the idea of reverting to one Pakistan. On
  page 87 of Anthony Mascarenhas' "Bangladesh: A legacy of Blood"
  Mascarenhas mentions that if Moshtaq had dared to unite BD with
  Pakistan (There were rumours to that effect at that time) then "he
  would have been immediately killed by Majors Farook and Rashid,
  both staunch nationalists"

  Zia was no Paki lover either, nor had any reason to be either. Zia
  mentioned to Mascarenhas that he had been 'extremely suspicious
  about Moshtaq hobnobbing with Pakistanis' (mentioned on page 88 of
  Legacy of Blood).

  The fact is they had every reason to become anti Mujib in 1975,
  not pro pakistan. Anti Mujib does not mean Pro-Pak, a simple logic
  that does not get through the skull of Awamists, just like
  criticising Islam does not mean being pro-Christian/ pro-American/
  Pro-India, a logic that does not get through the thick skull of
  Islamists. In fact by diverting the blame to fictitious Pro-paki
  elements the Awamist try to deflect the attention away from their
  own misdeeds that led to the revolution and subsequent killing
  in 1975.

>"conspiring to kill the nascent democratic process brought on
> under the civilian political rule"
>

 ??? What a joke. It is pathetic how unabashedly one can make such a
  remark. It was Baksal who killed democracy. Does democracy mean
  installing a one party rule? Does democracy mean banning all
  newspapers except four that toes the official line? Does democracy
  mean raising private militia to suppress political opposition.
  Maybe thats what Awamists define as democracy. Just like the
  Islamists declare an Islamic state as the true form of democracy
  to them, the Awamists/Balists equate AL/Baksal rule as democracy.
  Any other option is undemocratic to Awamists just as it is to
  Islamists.

  "The killers got support from the conspirator of all times named
  Gen. Ziaur Rahman."??

  Another unsubstantiated claim by the Awamists. If by supporting
  means "not preventing the killing of Mujib" then not just Gen Zia,
  then the entire nation, including the majority of the then AL
  parliament members who joined the "killers" supported Mushtaq
  government can be said to have supported the killers. None did
  anything to protest/prevent the killing of Mujib. The ONLY person
  who laid down his life to protect Mujib was an army officer who
  was not even a freedom fighter, made no attempt to escape Pakistan
  in 1971 and was repatriated after independence. He was Colonel
  Jamil. He was just doing his duty as professional army offcier
  assigned to protect the presdient.

  Gen Zia did not do anything pro-active to support the killers nor
  did he do anything to stop them. But in no way did he offer
  support to the killers. In fact in Mascarenhas' Legacy of Blood on
  page 51 Mascarenhas mentions that Gen Zia was one among major
  Farook's hit list of army officers potentially offering resistance
  to their missions thus may have to be eliminated. Mascarenhas
  mentions on page 91 that Farook and Rashid had even considered
  arresting Zia along with Khaled Mosharraf.

  The responsibilty for stopping the majors from their mission lied
  not on Zia, but on Army Chief Gen Shafiullah, a veteran freedom
  fighter and AL's pick at that time. Even he must have felt so
  disgusted with AL/Baksal not to have risked going against the tide
  of Baksal Hotao operation. The entire events of 1975 had nothing
  to do with Pro-Pak or pro- anything. Most people who welcomed the
  elimination of Mujib were not pro-Pak, they were anti Mujib (Mujib
  as known b/w 1972-75). Many of them were Mujib lovers up until
  1973. There was no need or reason for Mujib killers to be Pro-Pak.
  Mujib had already offered Bhutto a red carpet reception, got
  Pakistan's recognition of BD, and wooed the Islamic countires for
  joining OIC, which he did. And Pakistan then was ruled by Bhutto's
  PPP party, Bhutto was an atheist and PPP was clearly soft towards
  socialist ideas. So what's there for the killers to be pro Pak
  unless they wer also very much an admirer of Bhutto, they
  obviously were not. The unpleasant bitter pill of truth that
  Awamists would not rather have people know is that there was
  exchanging of sweets after the news of Mujib's death. Majority
  were heaving a sigh of relief. A general sense of relief was felt
  among the mass. The only feeling of fear and uncertaintly that the
  Awamist is referring to was in fact a fear of reverting to status
  quo through some counter coup, or of a civil war between the
  supporters of AL and the new regime, which did not happen at all.
  The BAL/Baksal supporters simply had no moral courage to fight
  back knowing full well what kind of misdeeds they had committed
  between 1972-75 and the level of public resentment/disencha ntment
  against them. There is no need to have been alive and witnessed it
  first hand to see that. If the valiant freedom fighters and the
  people fought against the Pak military and laid down 3 million (an
  exaggeration but touted by Awamists, even if it was hundreds of
  thousands still a huge sacrifice) then if the killing of Mujib was
  unpopular with the people and was actually committed by Pro-paki
  elements, then there would surely would have been a similar mass
  movement against it. If popular uprising could defeat a formidable
  and unified Pak army with all their military machine and numbers,
  such a mass movement surely could have defeated a handful of
  junior officers with six antiquated tanks (The bulk of the army
  navy air force were not even under the command of those four
  majors). That in itself proves the lack of popular outcry against
  the killing of Mujib and against the end of Baksal. It is the
  condoning and tacit support by the masses for which the 1975
  revolt and killing met with no resistance. Anyone with a
  common sense can put two and two together and come to that
  conclusion.

  It is ironic that this Awamist and many others shed crocodile
  tears for Col Taher for being hanged by Zia's military court. Do
  they shed tears for Siraj Sikdar when he was killed by simply
  shooting on his back at Mujib's behest, which later Mujib bragged
  about saying "Kothay aaj Siraj Sikdar?". Taher did the most
  unprofessional thing in the army and he received army punishment
  for that. It was not Zia who used Taher but the other way around.
  It was Taher and the red brigade of Jashod who used Zia's
  popularity in the army to accomplish their red revolution using
  Zia as the front man knowing full well that he (Taher) or the
  Jashod brigade would not command that level of respect or
  acceptibility because of their bloody agenda of mass slaughter of
  entire army officer corps and elite of the society eventually if
  successfull. Zia tactfully managed Taher in turn to save the army
  from such a massacre and anarchy, or stop the massacre from
  further spreading. It is more ironic that Awamists praise Taher
  when in fact Taher and Jashod symbolized anti Mujibism. They would
  also have killed Mujib had thay gotten the opportuine moment.
  (Remenember Rob's declaration of peeling Mujib's skin to make
  shoes out of?) In fact they did not condemn or protest killing of
  Mujib but considered it as the first dirty step done by others so
  they could proceed with their own bloody red scheme, exploiting
  Zia's popularity.

  The rest of the ramblings about Zia's role in August killing is
  the Awamists personal spin on the events in 1971. It shows lack of
  professionalism and objectivity. One can only hope to get the best
  picture of what happened in 1975 and beyond by reading
  professional articles and books, not spin stories by Awami
  bigots,leftist Jashod fanatics or the Islamists. History is
  merciless, it does not necessarily favour one side or the other or
  all.

RE: [Dahuk]: Re: [ALOCHONA] BNP Council: Khaleda Zia and her(OUR) despicable mindset



Friends or Brothers, Assalamu Alaikum:
 
Let me believe that all of us who speak or write on current political issues addressing Bangladesh are conscientiously doing so. Maybe, because of the spirit of youthfulness and patriotic pressures we sometimes go a little beyond the limit of our languages and expressions that sometimes become unkindly partisan transgressing the limit of decency and fellowship. This kind of zealotry definitely undermines our human virtues making the time, effort, and resources invested in our upbringing and education virtually wasted & void. 
 
I understand we have emotions and affections for our country, and it is genuinely so. But for the sake of good citizenship and/or by virtue of the birth in the soil, we have to bring the hormones under control so that it does not get to destroy our qualities of characters and the power of patriotism. No matter how proud and great we think we are, individually or as a group, we are just a drop in the ocean of the great nation of Bangladesh. This may look a small country but if we ponder hard on the value and status of it, we will find this as one of the greatest nation in the world. Along with our loving land, we must show respect to our mothers, sisters, and brothers, whoever and wherever they are.
 
Now the ball is in our court. Each of us will have to prove our worth as citizens of this great nation. If the nasty mentality and ugly behavior emulating some of our political zealots or selfish criminals occupy our heads and hearts, then we better go somewhere else. Bangladesh does not need anymore mud-slinger. It has had more than enough.  
 
Comments are most welcome.                 
 
Sincerely yours,
Mohammad Jalaluddin

Friends
 
Some questions to the sender of the mail below :
 
Does his leader Hasina talks sense about the great warrior Mukti Jodhdha Ziaur Rahman ???? No not at all.
Why hasina n her pet neta n netris like ogni konnya(now fused) Motia m Shajeda chowdhury who refuses to admit the true history of Mukti Judhdha n the "Shadhinata Ghoshok.
 
To be honest Hasina n her pet staLwarts n die hard activists murmers those phrases that has beeen set in the  dumb brain by the chief n the ally beyond the border.
 
It was  hasina who was officially censured by the High Court of Bangladesh as wrong headed women( what is bangla  of wrong head  ???) .The country has never came accross such insular,vindictive n mean politician like her.
 
Histrory says something else regarding granting indemnity to the killers of Mujib. It was the Awami League government which succeeded the BAKSAL  government in the aftermath of 15th August'75 who granted the indemnity not Ziaur Rahman ( Please read verdict given against Sheikh Mujib's murder Quote: Justice Md Muzammel Hossain in his observation said after the killing of Bangabandhu the then government of Khandaker Moshtaque Ahmed promulgated the Indemnity Ordinance, 1975 and the subsequent governments took some other steps to stop initiation of any criminal case in respect of the gruesome murders of August 15.).  Unquote.

 
Pages after pages could be written about the treacherous politics of BAL in last 38 years(Tin Bigha/Farakka/Tal Patty/Shanti bahini/atrocities of Rakhkhai bahini/slaughtering the constitution to instal BAKSAL causing immense damage to the image,dignity n sanctity tainting Bangladesh as fundementalist terrorist muslim country n many more to benefit HINDU STAAAN.
 
It was hasina who gave legality to the great Liuchcha/Lompot chritrohin(womenizer) ERSHAIDDDA by particiapting in the farcial election of 1986 just the day after her great announcement at public meeting that anybody participating in the election of the "SHOIRACHAR" would be termed as "BEIMAN". What else is there to differentiate between the two ladies who rose to helm of power by accident n heridetary n mainly our men politicians have truned eunach n psycophants.
 
IT IS FOOLISH TO SPIT LOOKING AT THE SKY SINCE IT DROP ON THE FACE OF THE SPITTER H/HERSELF.

We all know about this woman Khaleda Zia has a legacy of despicable mindset when it comes to the question of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Since her rise in politics, she made it no secrete that she is fearful with the name of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu and can not put up with the name.

 

Yesterday December 2, Khaleda Zia has unveiled the new official website of BNP national council 2009 where the venue Bangabandhu International Conference Center has been disgracefully shown as China Bangladesh Friendship Convention Center. Falsification and distortion of facts has become part of her life, birth (so far she has been born five times only, many to come) to present……….

Link : http://www.bnpcouncil2009..com/council2009.php

 

She has come up with fabricated story of her birth in five different days finally to choose August 15 to celebrate her birthday, the most somber day the day when the nation lost Bangabandhu and almost all members of his family except two daughters. BNP supporters perish few thousands of pounds of cake on August 15 to satisfy the loathsome blacken heart of Khaleda Zia widow of Gen. Zia clandestine accomplice of spiteful killer gang of August 15 fateful night. However, her hateful crocked mind likes no one except herself glory, she made it no secret about her extreme disliking of her husband Gen. Zia. Khaleda Zia conferred to head of the government thrice but did not made slimmest attempt to try Gen. Zia killers

 

Her husband Gen. Zia and she her self made every effort to protect, empower, satisfy and accolade the killers of Bangabandhu home and abroad. Her husband Gen. Zia ratified the indemnity ordinance to protect the Bangabandhu killers and to stop the due processes of law to bring justice home.

 

I condemn Khaleda Zia and her party BNPs inferior crocked mentality and hope they will discard their long practice of distortion of our history.

 

Thank you
