[ALOCHONA] "War crimes Trial" is a bogus diversion of AL's failure in governance

AL has failed miserably in management of governance, and supply of people's basic needs. This is because of its predominant obsession with TRIALS. This 5 year term will be a "TRIALS REGIME" - first Mujib-killer trial, then BDR trial, then August 21 trial, then what next trial? Maybe Hasina's CTG "slow poisoning" trial !!? This regime should be titled the 'regime of nothing but trials'.

Past 1.5 years, what has govt achieved? Answer = NOTHING.
While people suffer desperately with water gas & power crisis, AL is beating the drums of another bulldozer trial. Current 'war crimes trial' dhakka-dhakki has exposed AL's obsession clearly. D.Star's poll showed majority 55% people believe this so called 'war crimes trial' is an AL game to oppress opposition parties.

There were many critical issues in AL's election manifesto of 2009, for which people voted AL. And AL is ignoring (failing to commit) any of those issues (like anti-corruption, etc) and instead, AL is cherry-picking only the TRIALS items listed in the list. If the govt remains obsessed with trials as priority, and ignores the people, then the same old story might repeat itself - ARMY may be forced to take over governance, for the survival interest of the people.

[ALOCHONA] Encouraging state repression in Bangladesh



Encouraging state repression in Bangladesh
 
by Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury

Lately, an activist of the ruling party lodged sedition case against mayor of Dhaka city and leader of Bangladesh Nationalist Party, Mr. Sadeq Hossain Khoka for his recent statement where he recalled the contribution of late President Ziaur Rahman [founder of Bangladesh Nationalist Party], in the war of independence of Bangladesh.

Almost a week back, series of cases were brought against the President of National Press Club and eminent journalist Mr. Showkat Mahmood for his remarks demanding investigation into corruption charges brought against the ruling party 'elites'.

For the first time, since independence of Bangladesh, the ruling Bangladesh Awami League has adopted a strategy of harassing political opponents with bundles of cases, whenever any of the comments of the opponents are disliked by the rulers or its fans.

The situation would only be compared with any totalitarian nation, where rulers are almost considered to be best part of god. In Iran, for example, criticizing Mahmoud Ahmedinejad would be considered to be blasphemous. In former Soviet Union, any critic of the government would be picked up by the secret agents and killed. It happens in many of such nations, where democracy is non-existent and autocracy is established in various forms and names.

But, to my knowledge, Bangladesh possibly is not any un-democratic country. People voted the ruling party in power during the election of December 2008, where the current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina pledged to establish rule of law, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, religious harmony etc in the country. But, just after one year in administration, the present rulers in Bangladesh are gradually exposing a very nasty face of worst form of dictators. And of course, those supporters and activists of the ruling party are seen terribly active in harassing political opponents with various tactics.

Possibly the ruling party in Bangladesh dislikes any criticism from the opposition. They want a nation of sycophants, where no one would even think of uttering a single word against the rulers or even family members of the ruling leaders. In brief, the ruling party in Bangladesh has almost established extreme authoritarian rule under the garb of democracy. Freedom of speech and freedom of press is by now greatly screwed by the ruling elites in Bangladesh.

Now, while I have described only a small segment of what is happening with the political opponents in Bangladesh, let us put focus of what are the 'achievements' of the present government during their 14 month's rule.

Power crisis has already reached extreme level and even the Capital city is witnessing 'load-shedding' 5-6 hours a day. Business establishments are forced to shut down at a very early hour, while most of the shopping centres in Bangladesh are now compelled to observe 2-days holiday instead of just one. Such situation has already put the small traders in the country into extreme adversity. The entire country is under tremendous sufferings due to such power crisis. On the other hand, the government has virtually failed in taking necessary steps in resolving this issue. Instead of taking measures, those 'elites' of the government are engaged in giving cheap political statements, which surely enhances the hidden anger of the people. Political pundits are even opining that, if the government will fail to resolve the crisis within shortest possible time, there might be tremendous outburst of people's movement, which would become the biggest challenge for the present government.

Law and order situation deteriorated greatly when Awami League came in power. Now, possibly murder, extortion, abduction, rape etc has become a regular phenomenon to the people of Bangladesh and that is why the home minister might have now given up her idea of combating terrorism and militancy.

Foreign exchange earning from expatriate Bangladeshis working in various countries, especially in the Middle East has already decreased to a great level of volume. Recently, the ruling party leaders have started making statements against Saudi Arabia, labelling it to be patron of war criminals. Such comments of the ruling party leaders surely will annoy the Saudi rulers and possibly there will be further axes on Bangladeshi workers in that country.

Unfortunately, most of the Muslim nations, including those in the Middle East were worst opponent of War of Independence of Bangladesh. Especially, Saudi Arabia and Iran were actively patronization the anti liberation forces. Saudi Arabia even waited several years to recognize Bangladesh. Since the independence of the country, it has been consistently observed that, a major segment of the opponents of War of Independence of this country were receiving various forms of patronization from those Muslim nations especially in the Middle East.

According to latest news, one of the most wanted war criminal named Mir Kashem Ali, who turned into a billionaire with massive financial support from Saudi Arabia and other Muslim states, secretly left Bangladesh and went into absconding to avert the eminent trial of the war criminals. Mir Kashem Ali, who has established a vernacular daily newspaper and a private television channel, mostly spreading Jihadist notion in Bangladesh with specific agenda against United States, West and Israel, is the top figure in Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited as well a number of Islamic NGOs in the country. It was also rumoured that Kashem Ali was linked with Islamic militancy in the country. Most importantly, Mir Kashem Ali is a 'man of confidence' of Pakistani espionage agency ISI. It is a million dollar question as to how a known anti-independence element like Mir Kashem Ali managed to escape the country. Moreover, it is also a question to Bangladeshi government as to whether people like Kashem Ali will be allowed to own newspapers and TV channel, which they actually use for advocating Islamic extremism as well as pro-Pakistani notions.
