Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) attacks student rally over DU accident

As the news of the accident spread on the campus, angry students
brought out a procession and set ablaze the car and vandalised 10
other private cars and a pick-up van at TSC

Unruly activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) on Thursday
attacked on the students of Dhaka University who staged demonstration
following the injury of their fellow student in an accident.(The Daily
Star )

Police also charged baton on the agitating students and picked up
two--Md Sabbir of IER and Nazmul Huda of Hotel and Tourism
Department--after BCL cadres gave them a heavy beating when the
students vandalized vehicles over a death row of the injured student.

Sadhan Kumar Gosh, a 4th year student of Psychology Department of the
university received severe injuries after a private car hit him from
behind while he was crossing the road near Teacher-Student Centre
(TSC) intersection at about 12:30pm.

He is now undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital and
his condition is stated out of danger, said a doctor of his in charge
to The Daily Star.

As the news of the accident spread on the campus, angry students
brought out a procession and set ablaze the car and vandalised 10
other private cars and a pick-up van at TSC.

When the procession reached near Rokeya Hall, the BCL activists
attacked on it and hurled indecent language urging the students to
refrain from any demonstration.

Police also picked up the car driver – Rubaiya Haque Tanni, a student
of Dhaka City College and four others who were riding on the car

[ALOCHONA] Gen. Jacob’s memories of Bangladesh: Some factual errors

Gen. Jacob's memories of Bangladesh: Some factual errors

In 1971, as Chief of Staff (COS) of India's Eastern Command (EC)
(GOC-in-C Lt. Gen JS Aurora), Maj.Gen. (later Lt. Gen.) JFR 'Jack'
Jacob played a key role in the Pakistan Army's surrender on 16
December.
Dhaka's largely circulated English daily of 6 November 2010
published Gen Jacob's article titled "My Memories of Bangladesh" that
broadly comprises three sections.
The first describes his initial contact with what is now Bangladesh
in 1943 when Jacob moved with his battery to Arakan. The third
contains his views on Bangladesh's current economic condition and
future prospects.
These two sections are peripheral to the second and substantive
part of Jacob's recollections of the 1971 War. This is most relevant
to Bangladeshis and will be analysed here.
The overwhelming impression created by Jacob's memories is its
singular focus on, even embellishment of, his role and contribution in
1971 that, like Alice in Wonderland, gets "curiouser and curiouser" as
the narrative unfolds.

EBR troops' border crossing
Thus, Jacob asserts in para 13 that "...he went to the border to
help extricate them (EBR soldiers)…trying to enter India"… and "...at
Benapole, deployed an infantry battalion to cover their movement into
India."
He doesn't give any dates and implies the EBR units entered en
masse through Benapole at more or less the same time. The reality is
different.
Only 1 EBR based in Jessore may have used Benapole but certainly
not 2 EBR (Major Shafiullah), 4 EBR ( Major Khaled Musharraf) or 8 EBR
(Major Ziaur Rahman) who entered India on different dates in April
1971 from Mymensingh, Comilla and CHT borders, that is, from eastern
Bangladesh whereas Benapole is on the western side. These three majors
along with Col. Osmany et al conferred at Teliapara Tea Garden, Sylhet
on 4 April (Muyeedul Hasan Muldhara '71, page 15) and went their
separate routes thereafter.
By early April, India had declared the border open. So it's unclear
why Jacob deployed this battalion, since there were no Pakistani
regulars astride Benapole? And what is one to make of his reference
that this battalion fired on the Pakistanis at a customs post—neither
name nor location given—inside Bangladesh (para.14)?

Government-in exile
In this paragraph, Jacob refers to Tajuddin's meeting with British
MP Griffith at this customs post but doesn't give the date or purpose.
Whether this meeting occurred is doubtful. And had it occurred, what
use it would have served is unclear.
Tajuddin crossed the border at Kushtia on 30 March evening with
Barrister Amirul Islam and was escorted by BSF DG Rustomjee to Delhi
to meet Indira Gandhi twice, the first on 3 April (Muldhara '71, pages
10-12).
In paragraph 15, Jacob states that prominent Bangladeshi leaders
like Tajuddin, Nazrul Islam, Kamruzzaman, Mansur Ali, (Col.) Osmany
and (Grp. Capt.) Khandker had reached India by end-March. This is
incorrect.
Osmany was inside Bangladesh till at least 6 April (see above)
while Khandker crossed the border on 9 May (Muktijuddher Purbapar
Katopkathan page37). Tajuddin met Kamruzzaman and some AL leaders on 8
April at a house in Bhabanipore, Kolkata only on 8 April and others
like Nazrul Islam, Mansur Ali, Mushtaque Ahmed and Osmany in Agartala
on 11 April (Muldhara '71, pages 16-17).
Jacob is right to point out that India allotted the Bangladesh
leaders 8 Theatre Road as the seat of the government-in-exile where it
started functioning "immediately." This overstates the case.
It naturally took a while for the exile government to collect
together, settle down and work effectively. Analysis of its
deliberations unsurprisingly reveals some lapses into dissension
(failure of United Front mechanism), discord (relationship of Mujib
Bahini with government-in-exile) and even treachery (Mushtaq's contact
with the Americans) (See Muldhara'71, various chapters).
National liberation movements rarely function frictionless. Thus,
the leadership struggle between Mao Dze Dong and Li-Li San was settled
in Mao's favour at the Tsunyi Conference in January 1935 during The
Long March 1934-36.
Similarly, de Gaulle's wartime relationship with Churchill and
Roosevelt was frosty. The British and Free French intelligence
services—Special Operations Executive (SOE) and Bureau Central de
Renseignements et d'Action (BCRA)—infiltrated agents into France
independently although located within a few miles of each other in
London.
Their bitter rivalry led French Resistance leader Henry Frenay to
complain in July 1943 while secretly visiting London: The French were
fighting on three fronts: Germans in Occupied France; Vichy in
Unoccupied France; Anglo-Americans in London!
But in the end the exile government achieved its objective: the
independence of Bangladesh.

Mukti Bahini organisation
Jacob claims in paragraph 15: "I set up the Mukti Bahini. 8 camps
were organized. Sector commanders were appointed." Jacob does not
elaborate but implies that he was directly involved in all of these
activities. Let's evaluate this assertion.
Delhi decided on 30 April to entrust the MB's training to the
Indian Army, with the first camp set up on 9 May (Muldhara 71, page
21). Jacob as COS, EC may have been involved at the outset in
implementing this decision.
But his further involvement appears marginal. The compelling
evidence is Jacob's book "Surrender at Dacca" (OUP 1997) which
extensively details the operational and logistical steps he took to
prepare for the coming war with Pakistan.
On page 64 of his book, Jacob bemoans the fact that he could not
brief his boss Lt. Gen Aurora about logistics as Aurora was "involved
in advising the Mukti Bahini and spent time touring" (page 64). Gen.
Jacob can't have it both ways: run with the hares and hunt with the
hounds!
In the third week of May, the Bangladesh authorities established
the Bangladesh Armed Forces (Niomito Bahini) by merging EBR and EPR
troops with Col. Osmany as C-in-C. Sectors' demarcation and Sector
Commanders' appointments was finalised at a military conference in
Kolkata on 10 July 1971 (Muldhara '71, page.26; Muktijuddher Purbapar
Katopkathan pages 49-50) though some sectors were functioning earlier.
The Indian officer most closely associated with coordinating the
Mukti Bahini's day-to-day operations was Maj.Gen. BN Sarkar from Fort
William who, together with Bangladesh high command, prepared monthly
list of targets from September onwards as guerrilla activities
accelerated (Muktijuddher Purbapar Katopkathan page 102).

Campaign character
In paragraph 14, Jacob talks about a "lightning campaign," a
favourite term of Indian generals about the 1971 War's eastern theatre
(see DK Palit 'The Lightning Campaign').
Against a demoralized enemy and enjoying overwhelming military,
political and diplomatic advantages, it nevertheless took the Indian
Army 10 days to reach the outskirts of Dacca (Mirpur), and that too by
a subsidiary unit (95 Bde of 101 Comm Z Area under Maj. Gen. GC Nagra,
a course mate of Lt. Gen. AAK Niazi).
The Agartala-based main Indian force of IV Corps (Lt. Gen. Sagat
Singh) of three mountain divisions made relatively stodgy progress,
reaching the Meghna river ports by 15 December. This was not a bad
rate of movement considering the terrain and infrastructure but hardly
a 'blitzkrieg" (swift operations combining tank, air support and
lorried infantry bypassing enemy strong points like Rommel's 7th
Panzer Division did in May 1940).
Could the Indian Army have reached Dhaka sooner? This is difficult
to answer. Certainly allocating more resources to Nagra's anaemic
northern force—whose infantry component essentially comprised one
mountain brigade—that marched along the Tura/Tangail/Dhaka axis may
have paid dividends. But this is being wise in hindsight.

Surrender ceremony
Perhaps Gen. Jacob's most interesting claim is in paragraph 18.
Citing the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report, Jacob quotes Niazi as
saying that Jacob blackmailed him into surrendering even though the
latter had 26,000 (sic!) troops in Dhaka. Facts don't support this
view.
Niazi's core strength was three infantry divisions: 9 Div in
Jessore; 14 Div in Dhaka; and 16 Div in Natore/Bogra; and two
under-strength ad-hoc 36 and 39 Divisions with HQs in Dhaka and
Chandpur.
Thus, nearly all the crack troops were deployed astride the border
far from Dhaka. They made no move to reach the capital which Indian
air superiority would have made difficult if not impossible. Thus to
claim there were 26,000 troops in Dacca and immediate environs on 16
December is stretching things.
In paragraph 18 Jacob makes a fascinating claim: "In the space of
four hours, a ceasefire was converted into an unconditional public
surrender, the first in history" (underscoring supplied).
Taking together these three ingredients—hours, ceasefire and
surrender—this claim may have technical validity but its rich
frankness boggles the mind. Unconditional surrenders of course have
been done publicly before 1971 e.g. Japanese surrender on the
battleship USS Missouri on 2 September 1945 in Tokyo Bay.

Miscellaneous points
In paragraph 11, Jacob claims to have listened on 25 March "…with
difficulty to the orders given by tank commanders at Dhaka
University—"traverse left open window, fire…" Did the technology then
available enable Jacob to do so from Kolkata? If so, this must be
considered a major scoop by Indian intelligence. But some scepticism
is warranted.
There are some minor factual errors. In paragraph 1, Jacob mentions
his battery crossed "undivided Bengal" en-route to Arakan in 1943. At
that time, Bengal comprised East and West Bengal. Pakistan's Lt. Gen.
Yaqub was Commander, Eastern Command not Governor, East Pakistan
(paragraph 7).
In his article, Jacob is described as Deputy Commander, EC in 1971.
There was no such post. From COS, EC, he later became GOC-in-C, EC,
was promoted to Lt. Gen. from where Jacob retired, joined BJP (the one
prominent Indian Jew who did)) and then became Governor of Goa.
Conclusion
Jacob undoubtedly did a superb job in 1971 as EC's principal staff
officer for which he deserves full credit. His memories make
interesting reading but as a historical document have limited value.

[ALOCHONA] Disappearances : 22 vanished this year

Disappearances in question-Ward Commissioner Chowdhury Alam among 22
vanished this year

"Disappearance is another phase of extrajudicial killing and
continuation of the crossfire," said Odhikar President Prof CR Abrar

Around 10:00am on July 22, 2008. Tusher Islam Titu, 25, was buying
bangles for his wife at Dhukuria Bera Bazar in Sirajganj. Suddenly, he
heard an unknown voice from behind asking him his name. Shaken, Titu
turned back to find he was surrounded by four well-built men.(The
Daily Star )

Before he could utter a word, the men started punching him
indiscriminately. Within minutes the four, now brandishing automatic
pistols and identity cards, announced to the curious crowd that they
were members of the Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) arresting a criminal.

As hundreds in the crowded bazaar looked on, the "Rab" crime busters
bundled Titu into a Nosimon, a human hauler, and asked the local
operator to drive on.

Since that morning Titu disappeared without leaving a trace. His
family looked for him at different Rab offices and police stations
only to learn that the law enforcers know nothing about the arrest at
Dhukuria Bera Bazar.

The Rab spokespersons never admitted to have arrested anyone in that
area that day.

Fifteen days after Titu was picked up in Sirajganj, a young man turned
up at Titu's house in Rampura in the capital. Family sources say the
youth was too scared to reveal his name. The family quoted him as
saying that he had just been released from the Rab-1 custody in Uttara
where he met Titu.

Titu gave him the address and begged him to inform the family about
his whereabouts, the youth added.

"We immediately went there to look for Titu but were told that there
was no-one of that name," said a family member asking not to be named.

There was, however, enough reason to have Titu arrested and put him on
trial under the country's legal system as he was accused of at least
six criminal offences including a murder and of possessing illegal
firearms.

Khilgaon police identified him as "western" Titu, a listed criminal of
the capital. Fearing arrest by Rab, Titu left Dhaka and tried in vain
to settle in Dhukhuria Satlathi, his native village.

Similar disappearances throughout the country allegedly with the elite
force's involvement have nonetheless continued. Rights organisation
Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) puts the number at 22 in the eight months
since January this year on the basis of newspaper reports. ASK
officials say the actual number would "definitely be higher".

"Many even don't know when their loved ones are being picked up as the
law enforcers pick them up from the streets. Many are too scared to
report that the law enforcers are behind the disappearance of their
family members," says an ASK high official.

Dhaka City Corporation ward councillor and BNP leader Chowdhury Alam
disappeared on June 25. Only five days before his disappearance
plainclothes Rab men followed him on motorcycles and tried to drag him
out of his vehicle at one point.

According to a general diary (GD) recorded by Gulshan police
Sub-inspector Mohammad Ali, a patrol team rushed to Road-70 and found
Chowdhury Alam and a crowd of more than 200 people who detained two
men on a motorbike around 7:30pm on June 20.

In his official statement SI Ali said when the crowd identified one of
the two as "one of several people who tried to abduct Chowdhury Alam,
I demanded his identity."

The man produced his ID card which said the person was ASI Md Billal
Hossain (ID No 314772 and Personnel No 4016801) of the Rab
headquarters, says the GD.

The crowd immediately melted into darkness as the police officer
showed them the ID card of the Rab man.

Five days after that incident Chowdhury Alam was kidnapped by unknown
assailants on a yellow cab and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Alam's son Abu Sayeed Chowdhury said there is enough circumstantial
evidence to relate Rab with the abduction of his father. "We have no
doubt, considering the events of past few weeks before my father's
disappearance, that Rab has abducted him," Chowdhury said.

Nazma Begum, a resident of Kapasia in Gazipur, filed a writ with the
High Court seeking a directive to produce her husband Salim Miah
before the court. According to the petition, her husband Salim
disappeared allegedly after Rab arrested him in Kapasia on February 19
this year.

"The same action is continuing. State terrorism is carried on in
different ways. Disappearance is just the extension of crossfire, a
new form of state terrorism," observes rights activist and ASK
Executive Director Sultana Kamal.

"Disappearance is another phase of extrajudicial killing and
continuation of the crossfire," said Odhikar President Prof CR Abrar
of Dhaka University, adding, "This is a matter of grave concern that
this phenomenon is occurring."

Rab Legal and Media Wing Director Commander Mohammad Sohail termed the
allegations "absolutely baseless and motivated".

"A vested quarter is trying to tarnish the image of the
law-enforcement agency by spreading these allegations. This
[disappearance] might have resulted from internal feud among criminal
gangs."

Continuous extrajudicial killings by law enforcers appear to have a
serious effect on freedom of expression as many of the eminent
intellectuals, lawyers, rights activists, journalists, bureaucrats,
media academicians and retired police chiefs refused to comment about
it.

Rab is so tight-lipped that none other than its legal and media wing
director could be reached for comments regarding extrajudicial
killing, which insiders think is "too sensitive".

Despite repeated attempts an appointment with the Rab director general
on the issue could not be arranged.

Disappearance is nothing new in the state's effort to control crime or
criminal activities. Wherever extrajudicial killing continued for a
longer time, the countries experienced cases of disappearance.

Extrajudicial killing is nothing new in Bangladesh and began soon
after independence with the formation of Rakkhi Bahini in 1972. The
Operation Clean Heart was another phase of extrajudicial killing in
the country.

"It occurred during the tenure of every government in the past," said
advocate Adilur Rahman Khan.

The phenomenon of extrajudicial killing can also be traced at times
around the world in the name of uprooting terrorism or extremism,
mostly during military regimes. Disappearance was an excellent
discovery to carry out the killings across the globe.

During 1970s and 1980s disappearance was a common phenomenon in the
Latin American countries including Argentina, Chile, El-Salvador and
Nicaragua.

In 1996 a court found Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte responsible
for the death or disappearance of 3,197 people between September 1973
and March 1990 using a secret police force he formed under the name
National Intelligence Directorate (DINA).

Ninth prime minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was hanged on
April 4, 1979 on charges of authorising the murder of a political
opponent in March 1974 using a special police force.

Bearing scars of disappearance thousands of people endure inhuman pain
for their near and dear ones every moment around the globe and many of
them still await their return.

Titu's nine-year-old son Sazzad still does not understand what has
happened to his father and sleeps with one of his photographs kept
under his pillow.

"Where did you go? Why did you leave me? I can't keep waiting
anymore," Sazzad speaks to the photograph of his father every night as
his voice gets fainter in sleep.

The following words are of Mr. Ezajur Rahman of Kuwait and I have put them as my status on my Facebook page:
 
"Many Bangladeshis living abroad love Bangladesh and understand its woes as much as, and sometimes more than, those who live inside the country. Our love is unconditional and uncompromised by corruption and the necessity of surviving amidst wickedness. Our love can be foolish but it is pure. And our country has much need of us."

Hi Junaid

Thank you for an email of some substance. Now we can talk.

It takes 3 minutes to knock out 10 sentences, especially using predictive text and wireless technology. Respectfully, you probably spend 20 times as much time as I do in traffic jams. The time and energy one takes to debate an issue is irrelevant. More time and energy is spent by AL and BNP ruining our country.

There is indeed a brain drain in Bangladesh. Every year thousands of our best minds leave the country. No one cares. They are not wanted.

I'm not brainy. Better better people than me, at home and abroad, apply better intellects to our problems. But blind supporters of AL and BNP don't face such intellects. Our best minds tend not to address them. So I take on these supporters - many may do it better but they don't bother.

If only I can provoke you to write then I am happy. For just as you glean something about me I also glean something about you.

I am not saying all sophisticated politics is draining out of Bangladesh. I was being sarcastic. I should have been ruder. We don't have sophisticated politics - we have rubbish politics which is exported abroad.

Our people don't leave anymore for education or jobs. They leave to leave Bangladesh. All labourers in the ME would take their families and permanent residency if it was offered to them. If empowered none would return - to the delight any Deshi government. People are fed up.

Parents don't urge their children to stay abroad primarily because of careers, money and lifestyle. This is the language of deception as per the wealthy airport official who demands his bribe stating economics. Parents urge their children to stay abroad for reasons of health, safety, security, peace, values, reasonableness etc. How cruel that it takes a madman like me to say it.

It is my job to offend those who are not offended enough by the headlines in any paper on any day of the year.

Many Bangladeshis living abroad love Bangladesh and understand its woes as much as, and sometimes more than, those who live inside the country. Our love is unconditional and uncompromised by corruption and the necessity of surviving amidst wickedness. Our love can be foolish but it is pure. And our country has much need of us.

I have written with courtesy, and with time, to you in this mail. If you disagree with me on anything you are most welcome to take me up, to correct me and to inform me. But if you seek to make our nation's condition seem tolerable, understandable and unworthy of insult you will find a lifelong foe in me. I have as much time and energy as the criminals in the party of your choice. The tone will always be set by you.

I am a member of a growing body of vocal people who are politically neutral. I am on the angry fringe of that body. But I never killed anyone or stole from anyone - unlike many members of the main body of AL and BNP.

Our country conducts its affairs as if our country is a joke. Our country is therefore a joke. This offends/hurts me as much as it offends/hurts you. But thats no reason not to say it. Especially when it offends supporters of AL and BNP who never complain about their own criminals.

[ALOCHONA] Re: [KHABOR] Hartal statistics since 1991 (AL:173+130 days, BNP:59 days) - Nayadiganta article (Nov25/10)



Friends


I wonder n feel pity on the Paa Chata kutta Jibis when their dubious character is exposed by the people for their act like the street whores. These concubines either keep tight lipped or accord full support to the illegal act of the only n the only HARTAL RANI of the whole world Hasina Begum.
As per the calculation of these whore like Jibis the nation loses at least 250 crore Taka a day to realize demand for the emancipation of the people as claimed. 

The amount comes after calculating 303 days hartal called by Hartal Rani X  250 =  TK: 75,750 Crore(almost a years budgeted amount)                                                                                                                                                                                                 and 
59 days hartal called by Khaleda X  250 =  TK: 14,750 Crore. Who is going to pay for this colossal loss takinmg tha nation economically

backward n helping the bestial HINDU   STANI  economy grow better at our cost ?????????????????????????????

The people should think seriously to held these two Netris  absolutely responsible for the uncalled for miseries caused by their whimsical acts to destroy the nation's economy.

The concubines of Hartal Rani  are now shouting at their high voice when Khaleda Apu called Hartal for the same reason as of Hasina that the country cannot afford Hartal since it brings nothing but miseries to the poor segments of the people. These shameless creatures are unique in their dubious character n make people fool when their and their mentors interest across the border is being threatened.
Talk show after talk show is being telecast with the aim to raise public awareness about the negative impact of the HARTAL.
But these die hard BAL concubines do not utter a single word about the negative role of the Hartal by destroying the economy of Bangladesh whole scale by holding people at ransom through 303 Hartal. 

SHAME SHAME SHAME TO THESE SO-CALLED CONCUBINE BUDDI JIBIS WHO DEMAND TO BE THE BIBEK OF THE NATION

কোন দল কত দিন হরতাল করেছে
১৯৯১-৯৬ আ'লীগ ১৭৩ দিন
১৯৯৬-০১ বিএনপি ৫৯ দিন
২০০১-০৭ আ'লীগ ১৩০ দিন
মঈন উদ্দিন খান
 
আসছে ৩০ নভেম্বর বিএনপি আহূত হরতালকে সামনে রেখে ব্যবসায়ীদের শীর্ষ সংগঠন এফবিসিসিআই আইন করে হরতাল নিষিদ্ধের দাবি তুলেছে। তবে রাজনৈতিক দাবি-দাওয়া পূরণে হরতাল কর্মসূচিকে 'গণতান্ত্রিক' বলেই মনে করে সরকার ও বিরোধী দল। হরতাল সংস্কৃতি পর্যালোচনা করে দেখা গেছে, বিরোধী দলে থাকা অবস্থায় বিএনপি'র চেয়ে আওয়ামী লীগই হরতাল ডাকায় বেশি পটুত্ব দেখিয়েছে। ক্ষমতায় থাকাকালে হরতালের কর্মসূচি না দেয়ার অঙ্গীকার করেও আওয়ামী লীগ বিরোধী দলে গিয়ে হরতাল ডেকেছে।
১৯৯১ সালের পর থেকে গণতান্ত্রিক সরকারগুলোর সময়ে হরতালের রাজনৈতিক সংস্কৃতি বিশ্লেষণে দেখা যায়, ১৯৯১-৯৬ সালে ক্ষমতায় ছিল বিএনপি, আর এ সময়ে বিরোধী দল আওয়ামী লীগ ১৭৩ দিন হরতাল পালন করেছে। '৯৬ থেকে ২০০১ পর্যন্ত আওয়ামী লীগ আমলে বিরোধী দল বিএনপি জাতীয় পর্যায়ে (সারা দেশে) ৫৯ দিন এবং স্থানীয় পর্যায়ে ২৩৩ দিন হরতাল পালন করে। ২০০১ থেকে ২০০৭ পর্যন্ত বিরোধী দলে থেকে আওয়ামী লীগ ১৩০ দিন হরতাল পালন করেছে। এর মধ্যে ১৯৯৬ ও ২০০৬ সালে কর্মসূচি হিসেবে হরতাল সবচেয়ে ধ্বংসাত্মকভাবে পালিত হয়েছে। বিএনপি ক্ষমতায় থাকাকালে আওয়ামী লীগ ১৯৯৬ সালের জানুয়ারি থেকে মার্চ পর্যন্ত ২১টি হরতাল পালন করেছে। '৯৬ সালের ফেব্রুয়ারির নির্বাচনকে কেন্দ্র করে এ সময় টানা ৩৯ দিন আওয়ামী লীগের নেতৃত্বেই অসহযোগ আন্দোলন চলে। ১৯৯৬-২০০১ সালে ক্ষমতায় থাকাকালে আওয়ামী লীগ প্রধান শেখ হাসিনা বিরোধী দলে গেলে হরতাল না করার প্রতিশ্রুতি দিয়েছিলেন। কিন্তু ২০০১ সালে এসে সেই প্রতিশ্রুতি আর রক্ষিত হয়নি। বিএনপি জোটের ক্ষমতার শেষ বছর ২০০৬ সালে আওয়ামী লীগ অক্টোবর থেকে টানা হরতাল-অবরোধ কর্মসূচি পালন করে। এ রকম পরিস্থিতিতে বিএনপি সরকারের ক্ষমতা ছাড়ার দিন ২৮ অক্টোবর পল্টন মোড়ে লগি-বৈঠা দিয়ে হাফ ডজন মানুষ পিটিয়ে মেরে ফেলা হয়।
মঈন-ফখরুদ্দিনের জরুরি দুই বছর পার হয়ে বিতর্কিত নির্বাচনের মধ্য দিয়ে ক্ষমতায় আসে বর্তমান আওয়ামী লীগ সরকার। খোঁজ নিয়ে দেখা গেছে, এ সরকারের ২২ মাসে এখন পর্যন্ত প্রধান বিরোধী দল বিএনপি জাতীয় পর্যায়ে মাত্র দু'টি হরতাল (২৭ জুন ও ১৪ নভেম্বর) পালন করেছে। আগামী ৩০ নভেম্বর তারা আরেকটি হরতালের ডাক দিয়েছে। এ সময়ে স্থানীয় পর্যায়ে সাতটি হরতাল পালন করেছে বিএনপি। অন্য দিকে ২০০১ সালে দুই-তৃতীয়াংশ সংখ্যাগরিষ্ঠতা নিয়ে ক্ষমতায় আসা বিএনপি জোট সরকারের মাত্র দেড় মাসের মাথায় হরতাল ডাকে আওয়ামী লীগ। ২২ মাসে আওয়ামী লীগ ১৮ বার দেশব্যাপী সকাল-সন্ধ্যা হরতাল পালন করে।
যেকোনো রাজনৈতিক দাবি-দাওয়া পূরণে হরতাল কর্মসূচি বাংলাদেশে সাংবিধানিকভাবেই স্বীকৃত। রাজনৈতিক দলগুলোও হরতালকে দাবি আদায়ের সবচেয়ে মোক্ষম পন্থা বলে মনে করে। পর্যবেক্ষণ অনুযায়ী, আন্দোলনের ক্ষেত্রে সংযমী প্রধান বিরোধী দল বিএনপি বর্তমান সরকারের ২২ মাসের মাথায় যখন তৃতীয়বারের মতো হরতাল ডেকেছে, তখন রাজনীতির মাঠ বেশ উত্তপ্ত হয়ে উঠেছে। সরকারি দল আওয়ামী লীগ হরতালকে গণতান্ত্রিক কর্মসূচি হিসেবে উল্লেখ করলেও আইনশৃঙ্খলা পরিস্থিতি স্বাভাবিক রাখার নামে শক্ত হাতে হরতাল দমন করার কঠোর হুঁশিয়ারি উচ্চারণ করেছে। হরতাল নিয়ে আওয়ামী লীগের শীর্ষ নেতাদের নানামুখী বক্তব্যে সরকার ও বিরোধী দলের মধ্যে আক্রমণ ও পাল্টা আক্রমণের রাজনীতি ফের মাথাচাড়া দিয়ে উঠেছে।
আওয়ামী লীগের তরফ থেকে 'বাড়ি রক্ষায়' হরতাল ডাকা হয়েছে­ এমন অভিযোগ করা হলেও বিএনপি তা নাকচ করে দিয়েছে। বিএনপি বলছে, জনস্বার্থে আগামী ৩০ নভেম্বর হরতাল আহ্বান করা হয়েছে।

[ALOCHONA] Re: Facebook can trigger extreme stress reactions

It is unbelievable and not the fault of social network. It may happen in road , people may heartfelt after seeing his/her ex- girl/boy friend . I have seen number of news in the news paper that number of people committed suicide after the death of dhakai hero salman shah. It is the age of socialization that we need run with. We may say mobile is not good for health but will we able to continue our todays life without mobile?
