[ALOCHONA] Bangladeshi Musa Ibrahim conquers Everest



 
'হিমালয় থেকে সুন্দরবন, হঠাৎ বাংলাদেশ'
 
Musa Ibrahim has scaled Mount Everest as the first Bangladeshi, said friends and family of the mountaineer. He reached the summit at 6:00am Bangladesh time yesterday, Musa's wife Sorabon Tahura Rimi told The Daily Star. She was citing an e-mail sent by the manager of Himalayan Guide, the firm that arranged the expedition.

The news came at around noon in Dhaka. Soon, greetings began pouring in on different blogs and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Musa, a sub-editor at The Daily Star, used the North Alpine route on the Tibetan side to conquer the top of the world, Anik Khan, a friend of the climber, told The Daily Star from Kathmandu in the evening.Iswari Paudel, managing director of Himalayan Guide, has confirmed the news, he added. "Iswari learned about Musa's feat when her brother Bhola Paudel, manager of the advanced base camp, called via satellite phone."

All 26 members of the expedition including 14 Sherpas got to the summit (8,848 metres), Anik said quoting Iswari. Besides Musa, three Montenegrins, six Britons, one American and a Serb are in the team.

The arranger of the tour told Deutsche Welle Bangla Service that they had the news from their Tibet base camp yesterday morning.The team departed from their last camp, situated at 8,300 metres, at 10:00pm Saturday. Musa, founder of the North Alpine Club in Bangladesh, left Dhaka for Nepal on April 8.

Along with a group of young mountaineers, he had been preparing for years to summit the highest peak on earth.

[ALOCHONA] The Government vs. the Party



The Government vs. the Party

The government in power and the ruling party play a complementary role -- in good times and bad. Currently, however, a lack of coordination and a distance has grown between the Awami League government and the Awami League party. This has been hampering the progress of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's dream for a digital Bangladesh...

by ANWAR PARVEZ HALIM

 

Both in the government and the party, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina remains at the top, the centre of power. Her decision is the last word. She may have half a dozen advisors, but their recommendations hardly count. At least this is what several quarters claim.

Actually Sheikh Hasina's nature is to take on any crisis as a challenge. This is all very evident in the actions she has taken over the recent past -- the candidates she selected for the parliamentary elections, her formation of a cabinet with new and young faces, inducting these young ones into Awami League's central committee at the risk of angering the veteran heavyweights of the party. All this warrants due attention because they point to her propensity to take on mammoth challenges without a hint of hesitation.

Sixteen months have passed since the inception of Sheikh Hasina's government and stock is being taken of how far her dreams have approached reality in this time. If one is to believe the opposition, then the government has been a total failure, but then the opposition's word will always be taken with more than a pinch of salt. Again, there are the deprived leaders within Awami League, irate and upset at being sidelined. They have their fair share of barbs against the government, though they naturally prefer to remain anonymous. They are angry with the Prime Minister, her ministers and the MPs. Then there are the voters who elected Awami League to power and who are none to happy at the failures of the government so far.

The media plays a vital role too. Nothing remains under covers. A rickshaw-walla on the streets, a housewife in her home and an expatriate Bangladeshi worker toiling in some far off land, all know what is happening in the country, what the ministers are saying and what they are doing. The violence, crime and extortion of the ruling party and its fronts, particularly its student front Chhatra League, are no secret. This was not to be. Where have things gone wrong? The Prime Minister is intent on clearing up the mess and taking the nation forward. So wherein lies the problem?

The squeaky new cabinet

The decisive 1/11, when the military-backed government of Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed took over power, really brought doom down on the politicians' heads. Instigated by General Moeen and his associates, 'reformists' within the party were programmed to bring down Sheikh Hasina and Begum Khaleda Zia, in the so-called 'minus two' move. Reports of these activities, both on video and audio recordings, were provided to the two leaders in jail. Having identified her foes, Sheikh Hasina dropped over 50 senior tried-and-tested leaders of the party from the election. As a result, other than Motia Chowdhury, Muhit and a few others, the rest of the cabinet are all comparatively young and new. They are inexperienced in international dealings of the government, functioning in the global context and even in national politics. The politics of some of them have been restricted to a district and upazila level so far. So now sitting in cabinet, they find themselves rather overwhelmed. Their words and their actions do not tally. There is a sense of unrest all over. Spewing out off-the-cuff statements, these inexperienced ministers are simply sinking the government into a deeper quagmire.

Take for instance the recent hullabaloo over the film industry. Over the past decade or so the local film industry had been stuck in a rut and in recent years it had been endeavouring to revive itself. At this juncture, Commerce Minister Col. (retd.) Faruk Khan suddenly announced that the market was opening up to Indian films which from now on could be imported and screened freely. This decision was immediately met with an avalanche of protests. When it came to the Prime Minister's attention, she immediately cancelled the decision.

Then there is the upward spiral of the price of essentials. Over the last 16 months the Commerce Minister has failed to activate Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) though the Prime Minister had been sincere in taking TCB to the doorsteps of the people. The month of Ramadan is not all that far off, but the Commerce Minister remains silent.

The State Minister for Environment is eager to shut down the ship-breaking industry to protect the environment. The question being raised is, why close down a thriving industry which is earning so much? Why not install safety measures to ensure that the environment is safeguarded instead? Neighbouring countries have done so.

Many compare the statements of Home Minister Sahara Khatun with those of a certain Home Minister of the alliance government. In the meantime, while Chhatra League hooligans run rampant in Bogra, Barisal and other places of the country, creating a realm of terror, the State Minister of this ministry blithely declares that all is well and law and order is under control.

As for the War Crimes investigating body, it would have been prudent for the Prime Minister's Advisor Dr. Alauddin Ahmed to have avoided being so vocal about the head of this body Abdul Matin being a Chhatra Sangha member in the past. He could have dealt with the matter quietly without causing the government so much embarrassment.

Again with the exception of Motia Chowdhury and a few others, allegations of corruption have been levelled against several of the ministers. A certain state minister elected from Dhaka is said to have already bought himself a house in London.

Analysts state, there is no alternative to proper qualifications and efficiency in the smooth running of government. An Awami League leader says, "The ministers of Sheikh Hasina's past government were long experienced in politics. They had good vibes with the opposition too. There was coordination among them so they could discuss on a personal level before taking decisions. There were no contradictions in their statements. And as they were national-level leaders, the grassroots level leaders of the party were loyal to them. This is sadly lacking today.

Fallout of enhanced authority for MPs

According to a certain Awami League leader, among the 267 MPs of Awami League, about 130 are not directly involved in the party's politics. Many of the MPs have been born and raised in Dhaka. They hardly know much about their own constituencies. They have no idea about the local leaders and workers of their areas. Yet this time the power and facilities for the MPs have been increased manifold. They are receiving plots, cars and office facilities in Dhaka and in their constituencies. They have been given PS and APS's to assist them. Other than test relief and Food for Work funds, each MP will be given 15 crore taka in five years to use for development work at their own discretion. Their allowances have been doubled too.

MPs take up all sorts of development work in their constituencies -- having culverts constructed, tubewells and so on. The local leaders and the UP chairmen have no role here. It has been learnt that these new MPSs have been meting out the work to their favoured persons, at the cost of the die-hard party leaders and workers who have been slogging hard and facing all the brickbats of their opponents over the past seven years. As a result, a large section of the party at the grassroots are gradually becoming detached from the party. Then there is the other section who pay no heed to the ministers and MPs and who have unleashed their own rule of corruption and exploitation all over. All this is taking toll on the party.

Local leaders and workers are unhappy with the enhanced authority of the MPs. Awami League has always been active for the local government. Yet now though there are demands resounding all over for UP elections, the government remains mum on this head. Most of the UP chairmen in the country at present are from the opposition BNP. Awami League aspirants for these posts are frustrated. The UP chairmen have been clipped of their powers and this has brought them into direct conflict with the MPs. This does not bode well for governance.

There are allegations that Some MPs collect 'toll money' from various sources in their constituencies. An MP of Netrakona reportedly collects three lac taka everyday from the sand traders there. The local leaders and workers, in disgust, are distancing themselves from the party activities. Or they are directly standing up against the MPs in a show of muscle.

There are rumours that a leader of the mahajote, outside of Awami League, has become a multi-millionaire. Another MP has been accused of collecting huge sums of money for admissions in the capital city's schools and colleges. He has also been accused of taking bribes to give government college teachers their choice postings. The government needs to probe into these matters if it wants to save face.

Centre vs. grassroots

There are many among the motley crowd drawn into the party's central committee by Sheikh Hasina who have not as yet visited Awami League's district organisational units. They are too engrossed in their Dhaka-based affairs of state, particularly the party President's next-in-command, Awami League's General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam. The party General Secretary is supposed to be involved totally on the party's organisational activities and so is expected to constantly be on the move around the country. The question has naturally arisen as to why such a comfort loving person has been chosen for this office. He has been accused of not giving the party enough time. When leaders from the district come to Dhaka and call upon him, he does not meet them. They leave spurned and angry, sorely feeling the absence of former General Secretary Abdul Jalil.

Due to neglect from the centre, councils have not been held in eleven of the party's organisational districts. Even though the leaders recently visited 50 organisational districts, there remains political stagnancy and conflict all over.

Inner conflicts have also held up the councils of Awami League's eight front organisations -- Jubo League, Schecchashebok League, Krishak League, Mahila League, Mahila Jubo League, Tanti League, Swadhinata Chikitsha Parishad and Awami League Ainjibi Parishad.

A veteran leader of Awami League tells PROBE, "New leadership is bound to come, but not at the expense of the old. The new ones should be tagged along with the old. Experimenting with the new ones is simply hurting the party." He says, "As there is a dearth of qualified and efficient leaders both in the cabinet and the party, the chain of command has collapsed. Internal feuds in Awami League, Jubo League and Chhatra League have crossed all limits. They are fighting under the nose of the ministers. All this is due to lack of leadership.

Awami League's senior experienced leaders feel that simply due to this break in the chain of command, the government is having to go through such travails because of Chhatra League alone. Distancing herself from Chhatra League, the Prime Minister had placed central leaders Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Ahmed Hossain and BM Mozammel Huq in charge of the student body. They have failed to bring it under control. Their 'zero tolerance' policy has fallen flat on its face. Intelligence reports on crime and corruption carry the names of several Chhatra League leaders including the organisation's President. They have been reportedly aiding and abetting various criminal activities. Unfortunately, they remain untouched. Much of the government's achievements are being marred by this wayward student wing.

According to commentators, unless the gap between the government and the party is lessened, the crisis will merely increase. With this burden on her shoulders, it might not be easy for the Prime Minister to face up to the challenges ahead.

Friends

FOR LONG I HAD BEEN CALLING THE NOTORIOUS FORCE OF THE HINDUS AS :

BESTIAL    SECURITY    FORCE ( BSF) whose motto is to kill n kill have fresh blood in their breakfast table as daily basis.

But our sarkar (manned by Sonar desciples of mujib) installed by the hindus of hindustaaan do not raise any voice against killing of Bangladeshis by the fascist janwars hindu BSF since BAL do not care about own citizens other than hindus interest as they are indebted to them for life long.

When it comes to right to life or human rights, record of Indian Govts is at the bottom low despite India being a democratic republic under a written constitution

which guarantees right to life. But there is a sky difference in what is said and actually practised. While the international community is striving to attain total

abolition of capital punishment even in cases where culprit commit heinous crimes, India's Border Security Force is such an inhuman organization which can kill

even an innocent person who touches India's border even inadvertently. Notwithstanding BSF's killer policy the smuggling activity on the border is often in news.

Narcotics drugs often cross borders and there are allegations that often there are nexuses between the smugglers and BSF men.
Human right activists have been raising loud cries against this organization but it is the first time that international community has taken notice of this notorious

organization when Canada refused visa to an ex-man of BSF. Though subsequently Canada made a tactical statement that it has respect for Indian security forces

but it didn't disown the earlier decision.

[ALOCHONA] Sheikh Mujib



 

 

 

AN ILLUSTRATED    HISTORY  OF BANGABANDU AND BANGLADESH

 

                                     

               

Sheikh Mujib addresses the foundation meeting of BKSAL, sitting on a throne like a king

 

 

        Dr.  Abid Bahar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                   

PREFACE

 

Bangabandu and Bangladesh are two interrelated names. Bangabandu was not an ordinary leader of Bangladesh. The present research findings points out that he was a Machiavellian leader. He played both positive and negative roles in the history of Bangladesh. It seems that AL in promoting him as a semi-god that he was not is causing disrespect to his many positive contributions. This work still in its draft form is an attempt to show the real Bangabandu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as different from the AL's hero-worshipping of him. This book was written and the illustrations were compiled together to help Bangladeshi people see through its difficult past and understand it to take the necessary measures to help reform the country for a multi party democracy so as to be able for Bangladesh to develop into a prosperous country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

              CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

        BANGABANDU: HIS EARLY LIFE (1920-1939)

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, later Bangabandu was born in Tongipara of Faridpur district in Bangladesh in 1920 A.D. He was the third child among four daughters and two sons of Sheikh Lutfar Rahman and Siara Begum. The parents were very affectionate to him and called him Khoka. Due to eye problem in his left eye, the parents withdrew him from attending school for four years. During this time, the compulsive Mujib's prolonged break of study must have created anger in him, for he had no home education either. What would he do but to play with one eye with children who skipped classes? When he returned back compared to his fellow students, he found himself way behind in education. He also found himself physically taller and liked to skipping classes and when attended classes would create trouble to other students.  In 1938, at the age of only eighteen, the parents forced Mujib to get married to Begum Fazilatnnesa. In the following year in1939 "Bongobondhu's political career was effectively inaugurated while he was a student at Gopalganj missionary school. He led a group of students to demand that the cracked roof of the school be repaired" this was when Suhwardhy came to visit the school. No one at the moment knew that Suhrwardhy just met a rebel who years later would be claimed by the successive AL governments as the father of Bangladesh nation.

Suhrawardhy the populist leader of his time originally recruited Mujib to counter his political rivals. Under Suhwardhy, Mujib began his career as a muscleman student leader. Mujib remained loyal to him until his death in 1962. In the Calcutta riot Mujib was with his mentor Suhwardhy who was behind the Hindu-Muslim Calcutta riot in the Jinnah called Direct Action Day that claimed many innocent lives for which the Congress Party leadership continue to blame Suhwardhy. Mujib's dress and mannerism and his association with Suhwardhy show the sign of Mujib's role at the time. See below the picture with his mannerism and his nonverbal expressions especially his shirt's collar. He was hardly a student. Despite his busy time, it seems that he managed to complete his education.           

 

                     

             Mujib the Muscleman from Faridpur's Tongipara village

 

In Calcutta, one Mazharul Islam from Kutubdia of Chittagong was known to have written his BA examination. Back in Dhaka he again became a student of law at the Dhaka University; known to have recommended by Suhrwardhy to make him prepare for a capable statesman. But he was seen to be sitting in the backbench with a group of his friends causing trouble to his professor in the law faculty classroom. Despite his disinterest in education, he was out and out a political person and unfortunately never finished his law degree from Dhaka University.

 

Who was Sheikh Mujibur Rahman?

Mujib's upbringing made him more of a populist leader politician than a statesman. But he was no ordinary and a naïve leader as many people wish to believe. He was a complex figure in politics; a Machiavellian and as a very powerful rebel rouser ready to take risks but almost always knew how to save himself. Personally he showed pride and confidence in his work and in his accomplishments he would show mockery to the opposition. It was his early sign of intolerance to the opposition. During his entire career; we see almost always before a serious threat to his life he prepared the necessary grounds to be arrested and be in jail. During the time of language movement as expected he was in jail. This reminds us of a story in a film where a person the authority just released to cause the extra burden but he insisted that they keep him in jail where he will be safe. Not surprisingly, once, was just released from jail and hearing the report of an imminent trouble, he did something violent in front of the jail premise causing the death of a child(1) His critics claimed that after his 7th March Speech in 1971 at the critical juncture of the national life instead of leading the nation he repeated his similar behavior and for his and his family's safety surrendered himself to the Pakistan army.

CHAPTER 3: 'There I Come and there I Go': MUJIB'S FALL

Mujib's well-known characteristics in the pre liberation period were:
Anti establishment agitation
Anti constitution, anti institution and
Anti bureaucracy. After the liberation, logically he considered himself as the source of all power.
In this situation, the constitution was considered as subordinate to Mujib's power.

"The Constitution (Fourth Amendment) Act 1975 was passed on 25 January 1975. Major changes were brought into the Constitution by this amendment. The presidential form of government was introduced in place of the parliamentary system; a one-party system in place of a multi-party system was introduced; the powers of the Parliament were curtailed; the Judiciary lost much of its independence; the Supreme Court was deprived of its jurisdiction over the protection and enforcement of fundamental rights."

.

Mujib's style: Mockery of the opposition and the Self Pride:His  three blunders

Standing in the parliament Mujib said "Sheraj Sikder Tumi Akhon Khotai"

"Jatir Pitahoichee bole noito Lal Ghora Dabaiea Ditham"

"Tribals, Tumra Bangali hoye Jao, triggering unrest in Chittagong Hill Tracts."

Over the precipice: fate of the fascists

             

 

          The dead Mussolini lies

Deadbody of Mujib

 

 

 

 

Bangabandu's Killers

It says, All's well that ends well. True, Jalal Uddin Khan says:"No assassination can ever be supported (it is always a heinous crime) but the rejoicing at the death of Sheikh Mujib, even by the elements of his own party, was indeed a fact. He was a great leader but his rule was highly compromised and controversial with people suffering from famine, anarchy, lack of security, Rakkhi-Bahini torture and the dictatorial operation of his government.(1)

 

"Mujib's sycophants think that only Mujib and family blood is the most worthy, pure and valued. And that of all other people are Dholai Khaler dirty water. That's their problem."

Mujib's killers are his own people. His opportunism in 1971 led his surrender to the Pakistan army and a genocide of the ordinary people in Bangladesh. While Pakistan army spared him but Mustaque's diplomatic success with Kissenger to save Bangladesh from becoming Red led Kissenger's initiatives to release Mujib from Pakistani jail, but realizing him as a traitor and a cunning politician his own people and the foreign connection it is alledged led by Mostaque got him killed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The AL Minister Mostaque Ahamed

 

 

 

 

"Bhutto who remained apologetic and on the defensive ever since March 1 was thus compelled to further expose his ambition in Karachi on March 14. Here he introduced West Pakistan for the first time to the concept of the Two Nation theory and demanded that power be handed to the two majority parties of Pakistan, namely the Awami League in Bangla Desh and People's Party in West Pakistan."

 

 

CHAPTER 5: A DEBATE

ZIA THE DICTATOR- AL

ZIA IS THE FATHER OF MULTI PARTY DEMOCRACY IN BANGLADESH -BNP

Fifth Amendment of President Ziaur Rahman

The Fourth Amendment was made by Bangabandu and the Fifth Amendment was by Ziaur Rahman

"The Constitution (Fifth Amendment) Act was passed by the Jatiya Sangsad on 6 April 1979. This Act amended the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution by adding a new Paragraph 18. The expression 'BISMILLAH-AR RAHMAN-AR-RAHIM' was added before the Preamble of the Constitution. The expression 'historic struggle for national liberation' in the Preamble was replaced by the expression 'a historic war for national independence.' One party system was replaced by multiparty system. Fundamental principles of state policy were made as 'absolute trust and faith in the Almighty Allah, nationalism [Bangladeshi nationalism], democracy and socialism meaning economic and social justice.'

President Ziaur Rahman established the multi party democracy and allowed Hasina to enter in politics."

----------------------------

Dialogue between Hasina and Pronok

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hasina:Dada, I am afraid that people will find out Zia the General was actually the one who allowed multiparty democracy and gave newspaper freedom.

Pronok: Don't worry we have the Daily Star to lie daily about Zia as the betrayer; and as the military dictator. We also have Prothom Alo to help you. Your father didn't have that help.

Hasina: I am also afraid that some intellectuals call themselves as the independent-minded Bangladeshis. They opposed Pakistan and now opposes India. What am I going to do about them?

Pronok: Call them Jamat!

Hasina: But they were freedom fighters.

Pronok: Look, if could turn Zia from a freedom fighter into a Jamati, why not these brainless intellectuals. It's propaganda that matters for perception but not the reality. It's called manufacturing consent.

Hasina: Due to the killing of Bangladeshi border guards and the fence dividing Bengal, I am afraid that one day most of my countrymen are going to abandon our ethnic identity Bengali for the territorial nationalism, Bangladeshi. Bangladeshi nationalism has an advantage that it includes all the Bangladeshis well being.

Pronok: True, your opposition has many advantages but they don't have the support of your country's cultural groups. Your country's cultural groups are connected to the West Bengali and Indian groups. Only if they can create strong media support and pro-Bangladeshi cultural group in drama, cinema, music, you will be really in trouble. Tarek was taking such dangerous moves. He is your #1 enemy. Now that you have our full support at least for now  you don't have any thing to worry.

            Conclusion: The "Bangabandu" Story

                                                    

 AL's declared "Father of the Nation"                   

 

 

It says, an abusive biological father's role shouldn't be glorified. In today's Bangladesh, questions are asked, why to honor an "absentee," "authoritarian" and "partisan" leader, and the founder of BAKSAL as the symbolic "father of the nation" of an emerging democracy.

Each time, the AL comes to power Bangabandu is brought to the forefront as the father of the nation. And it seems to open the Pandora's box because by doing that it opens the debate on an absentee and authoritarian leader to be recognized as the symbolic "father of the nation" of a democratic country. It is more so because Mujib was accused of killing the infant democracy in Bangladesh setting the stage for the bloodbath and subsequent anarchy in Bangladesh. Now, asking him to be recognized as the "father" it seems is as if in the democratic Russia, Stalinists asking to recognize the Fascist dictator Stalin to be the "father of the nation." It is true, Mujib missed his chances and now doesn't deserve to be the father of the nation for the following reasons:

(1) Mujib was not the biological father of the nation, (it is not possible) nor an ideal fatherly political figure of Bangladesh requiring to be recognized as the "father of the nation." An abusive biological father is not generally glorified. In a symbolic form, why to glorify Mujib who loved only his people; the ALs and was abusive to other anti BAKSAlite democratic Bangladeshis? He is the one who led Bangladesh from democracy to BAKSAL dictatorship. He even put Bhasani under house arrest.

It is a known fact that Mujib's Rakhi bhani, Lal bahini and the other Bahinis, killed thousands of activists who opposed him. He didn't tolerate opposition. He didn't tolerate the Tribal's demand for Bangladeshi nationalism. Mujib said, "Forget your ethnicity, be Bengali." Now some people (former BAKSAL leader/ supporters) out of personal devotion and favour/ love received from Mujib want to elevate him to the status of an ideal father. But was he an ideal father? History tells us that he wasn't.

On record Mujib, established BAKSAL dictatorship of one party system, banned newspapers, demanded intellectuals to visit him to their show of allegiance, and in the process divided the nation. The legacy of that divide still continues. By accepting Mujib as the "father of the nation" the military backed CG is clearly taking side of the AL / BAKSAL and giving symbolic weight to Mujib style "anarchy" and Hasina's violent politics of strike, blockade and legitimizes a system that ruined the economy and brought the international recognition for Bangladesh as a failed state, the "bottomless basket case."

It appears that this ever diminishing idea of "father of the nation" now revived by the present army chef (possibly was a devoted former Mujibbadi) will divide the nation further demanding perhaps another future coup to defeat the anarchist Hasina's BAKSAL forces. If that happens, it will be a tragedy for Bangladesh.

(2) Mujib shouldn't be considered as the father of the nation also because he surrendered to the Pakistani enemy. He was an elected leader, instead of staying in his house until the last moment he was supposed to be with his people to lead them. (See Zahirul Quaium's interview, Quaium was the senior vice president of the AL, Mujib waited unti March 25 afternoon for a fresh negotiation to begin on the 28th of March). Before his death, Mujib shied away from explaining to reporters why he surrendered to the advancing army when each and every top member of the AL leadership could escape to Calcutta. Kamal Hossain who was with Mujib never clarified the issue either. They must be hiding something and now the army chief even asking for Mujib to be recognized as the "father of the nation."

(3)Mujib was clearly not a statesman but a demagogue and shows he believed in Pakistan until the last moment. He wanted autonomy not independence. He even sent Rao Farman Ali to peruse Yahya Khan to save Pakistan. (See Farman Ali's book Bhutto, Mujib and Bangladesh.) He even said to him that time was running out. For not being a statesman he continued his foolish negotiation of the 6 points with the pretender Yahya Khan until the 24th of March.

Like most other leaders, even Bashani could escape hiding as a refugees, when the Pakistani army went to Tangail to hunt down "the Kafir" Bhasani, but why not Mujib? It was not definitely his courage to surrender as somr ALs claim, nor his love to save people as most neo-BAKSalites claim. It appears that at the last moment, he didn't have much of a choice but to save himself and his family. Alas, such an opportunist person (Hasina's father) who had left his people to such a helpless situation in 1971, just to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan (power hungry politics) at last in 1975 could neither save himself nor his family!

But again killing was not the solution; especially his family was innocent. But nature takes its own course, his family suffered for his failures.

The point is if you know that Pakistani military rulers will not accept the 6 points, and you will not sacrifice a bit of the 6 points, why to negiotiate until March 24 when Yahya left Dhaka after finishing all the preparation? If it was not his foolish love for Pakistan, what was it? Negiotion means to come to a common ground.

How can a Paki lover be the father of Bangladesh?
 
Bhasani reminded Mujib again and again, Pakistanis will not accept his 6 points. Bhasani declared independence in December. Why Mujib didn't is a question repeatedly asked? BAKSAlite explanation, "This great patriot, wanted to save lives," Could he save them?" Then why he had to be a coward not a revolutionary?

Bhasani used to call Mujib lacking in enough intelligence in the upper chamber. The truth is as a very powerful agitator he was dealing with big and small political issues he couldn't handle.

Some Als even believe that the Paki army feared to kill him. It will be foolish to forget, the notorious Pakistani army didn't fear to hang Bhutto! the Prime Minister of Pakistan. But why Mujib was saved and his family even received protection and allowance in Dhaka? Was there a secret deal at the last moment? If there was one does he deserve to be a father? These are some unanswered questions. That is the untold "Bangabandu story" of Bangladesh.

If Mujib had some love for Pakistan, or most love for his family at the expense of the millions of people facing the organized Pakistani military, what does he deserve? Not glorify him as the father of the nation. Under the circumstances, if historians consider him as a pretender, an absentee political leader at times of national distress, while in power only proved himself a dictator,  no govt. should open the controversial issue to further lower his credibility. In opening the issue we are only dividing the nation and doing a disservice to it because to many, Mujib's BAKSAL was similar to Sadam's Bath party, or like any other African Fascist dictatorships.

In conclusion, will glorifying this man as the "father" likely to create consensus in Bangladesh? I don't think so! To me they are only opening the Pandora 's Box which will be a recipe for further chaos.

If we desire for a developed Bangladesh for the common masses, but not help benefit Hasina's, or Khalidas, or the hero-worshippers, the wisest measure to take would be either to ignore the issue altogether or recognize this controversial partisan BAKSAL founder/figure/ absentee politician as only one of the founding fathers of Bangladesh (for his role in the pre liberation period (leading up to March 7, 1971.)

Bhasani, the spiritual leader of Bangladesh, the founder of AL, and the Ittifaq, the leader of 1969 movement that ousted Ayub and saved Mujib, and was the chairman of the government in exile in India and declared independence, was a fatherly figure to Mujib also deserve to be one of the founding fathers. 

Then it was Zia who declared independence and brought order after Mujib's BAKSAL and its subsequent anarchy. It seems that until the nation recognizes Bhasani, Mujib and Zia as the founding fathers of Bangladesh, there will not be any political consensus. Seen in the favorable light, Bhasani, Mujib and Zia could be seen as our Gandhi, Nehru and Patel of Bangladesh. But the question will continue to be asked to the thinking Bangladeshis if the followers of the rebel rouser Bangabandu and their India backers will accept something positive about the contributions of the other national leaders in order to save the nation from the shadow of fascism "my way or no way' politics that was first installed by Bangabandu.
