[ALOCHONA] BSF issues




India 'regrets' Felani's murder
Wed, Jan 19th, 2011 4:10 pm BdST

Dhaka, Jan 19 (bdnews24.com) – India has expressed regret and sympathy at the recent killing of a minor girl along the border near Fulbaru in Kurigram. 

It also requested Bangladesh to motivate people to follow the legal routes in crossing the border and particularly restrict movement at night, said a press release issued on Wednesday. 

The press release was issued after the 10th meeting of Bangladesh-India Joint Working Group (JWG) on Security in the city. 

The minor girl, Felani, 15, was shot dead by BSF troops on Jan 7, while she was returning to Bangladesh with her father. 

The joint secretary-level meeting started on Tuesday and the proposals prepared by the meeting would be put forward to a home secretary-level meeting between the two neighbouring countries. 

The two-day Bangladesh-India home secretary-level meeting began on Wednesday afternoon.

[ALOCHONA] RAW and Mossad: The Secret Link



 
 
Thirty-five years ago, in September 1968, when the Research and Analysis Wing was founded with Rameshwar Nath Kao at its helm, then prime minister Indira Gandhi asked him to cultivate Israel's Mossad. She believed relations between the two intelligence agencies was necessary to monitor developments that could threaten India and Israel.

The efficient spymaster he was, Kao established a clandestine relationship with Mossad. In the 1950s, New Delhi had permitted Tel Aviv to establish a consulate in Mumbai. But full-fledged diplomatic relations with Israel were discouraged because India supported the Palestinian cause; having an Israeli embassy in New Delhi, various governments believed, would rupture its relations with the Arab world.

This was where the RAW-Mossad liaison came in. Among the threats the two external intelligence agencies identified were the military relationship between Pakistan and China and North Korea, especially after then Pakistan foreign minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto visited Pyongyang in 1971 to establish a military relationship with North Korea.

Again, Israel was worried by reports that Pakistani army officers were training Libyans and Iranians to handle Chinese and North Korean military equipment.

RAW-Mossad relations were a secret till Morarji Desai became prime minister in 1977. RAW officials had alerted him about the Zia-ul Haq regime's plans to acquire nuclear capability. While French assistance to Pakistan for a plutonium reprocessing plant was well known, the uranium enrichment plant at Kahuta was a secret. After the French stopped helping Islamabad under pressure from the Carter administration, Pakistan was determined to keep the Kahuta plant a secret. Islamabad did not want Washington to prevent its commissioning.

RAW agents were shocked when Desai called Zia and told the Pakistani military dictator: 'General, I know what you are up to in Kahuta. RAW has got me all the details.' The prime minister's indiscretion threatened to expose RAW sources.

The unfortunate revelation came about the same time that General Moshe Dayan, hero of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, was secretly visiting Kathmandu for a meeting with Indian representatives. Islamabad believed Dayan's visit was connected with a joint operation by Indian and Israeli intelligence agencies to end Pakistan's nuclear programme.

Apprehensive about an Indo-Israeli air strike on Kahuta, surface-to-air missiles were mounted around the uranium enrichment plant. These fears grew after the Israeli bombardment of Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981.

Zia decided Islamabad needed to reassure Israel that it had nothing to fear from Pakistan's nuclear plans. Intermediaries -- Americans close to Israel -- established the initial contacts between Islamabad and Tel Aviv. Israel was confidant the US would not allow Pakistan's nuclear capability to threaten Israel. That is why Israeli experts do not mention the threat from Pakistan when they refer to the need for pre-emptive strikes against Iraq, Iran and Libya's nuclear schemes.

By the early 1980s, the US had discovered Pakistan's Kahuta project. By then northwest Pakistan was the staging ground for mujahideen attacks against Soviet troops in Afghanistan and Zia no longer feared US objections to his nuclear agenda. But Pakistani concerns over Israel persisted, hence Zia decided to establish a clandestine relationship between Inter-Services Intelligence and Mossad via officers of the two services posted at their embassies in Washington, DC.

The ISI knew Mossad would be interested in information about the Libyan, Syrian, Jordanian and Saudi Arabian military. Pakistani army officers were often posted on deputation in the Arab world -- in these very countries -- and had access to valuable information, which the ISI offered Mossad.

When young Israeli tourists began visiting the Kashmir valley in the early nineties Pakistan suspected they were Israeli army officers in disguise to help Indian security forces with counter-terrorism operations. The ISI propaganda inspired a series of terrorist attacks on the unsuspecting Israeli tourists. One was slain, another kidnapped.

The Kashmiri Muslim Diaspora in the US feared the attacks would alienate the influential Jewish community who, they felt, could lobby the US government and turn it against Kashmiri organisations clamouring for independence. Soon after, presumably caving into pressure, the terrorists released the kidnapped Israeli. During negotiations for his release, Israeli government officials, including senior intelligence operatives, arrived in Delhi.

The ensuing interaction with Indian officials led to India establishing embassy-level relations with Israel in 1992. The decision was taken by a Congress prime minister -- P V Narasimha Rao -- whose government also began pressing the American Jewish lobby for support in getting the US to declare Pakistan a sponsor of terrorism. The lobbying bore some results.

The US State Department put Pakistan on a 'watch-list' for six months in 1993. The Clinton administration 'persuaded' then Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif to dismiss Lieutenant General Javed Nasir, then director general of the ISI. The Americans were livid that the ISI refused to play ball with the CIA who wanted to buy unused Stinger missiles from the Afghan mujahideen, then in power in Kabul.

After she returned to power towards the end of 1993, Benazir Bhutto intensified the ISI's liaison with Mossad. She too began to cultivate the American Jewish lobby. Benazir is said to have a secret meeting in New York with a senior Israeli emissary, who flew to the US during her visit to Washington, DC in 1995 for talks with Clinton.

From his days as Bhutto's director general of military operations, Pervez Musharraf has been a keen advocate of Pakistan establishing diplomatic relations with the state of Israel.

The new defence relationship between India and Israel -- where the Jewish State has become the second-biggest seller of weapons to India, after Russia -- bother Musharraf no end. Like another military dictator before him, the Pakistan president is also wary that the fear of terrorists gaining control over Islamabad's nuclear arsenal could lead to an Israel-led pre-emptive strike against his country.

Musharraf is the first Pakistani leader to speak publicly about diplomatic relations with Israel. His pragmatic corps commanders share his view that India's defence relationship with Israel need to be countered and are unlikely to oppose such a move. But the generals are wary of the backlash from the streets. Recognising Israel and establishing an Israeli embassy in Islamabad would be unacceptable to the increasingly powerful mullahs who see the United States, Israel and India as enemies of Pakistan and Islam.

[ALOCHONA] Re: Felani's Dead Body or Bangladesh's Dead Body !!!!!!!!



Dear Alochoks

Here we can see the Bangladesh type intellectual at work. On the issue of a bullet shot child dying for hours, hanging upside down, in teh air, on a barbed wire fence. And she dies.

And our intellectual writes using these terms:

Indian Human Rights activist; BSF; heart-rending photograph; RAW; human rights violation; Indian villagers; ultra-patriots of BD; The Jehadists of BD etc.

And nowhere was there ever any chance of her mentioning the responsibility of her party, the ruling AL, Nowhere was there any chance of her mentioning the prime minister, the leader of her party, the ruling AL. Nowhere was there any chance of her mentioning the government, home minister, defence minister, foreign minister - all of her party, the ruling AL.

It is disgusting. It is cowardly. If is shameful. It is deceitful. It is wilful. And it is against the best interests of the state.

These intellectuals practice simple village politics under the disguise of a degree.

[ALOCHONA] A bullet is a bullet is a bullet



A bullet is a bullet is a bullet
 
Brig Gen Shahedul Anam Khan ndc, psc (Retd)
 
Deaths from BSF firing have assumed disquieting proportion, and the Indian authorities seem to be able to do nothing about it. And only recently has the Bangladesh government been spurred, by criticisms at home and prodding from the Border Guards Bangladesh (and perhaps from abroad in the form of a report by the International Commission on Human rights about the border killings), to summon the Indian high commissioner to register its condemnation of BSF action.
 
This was in the wake of the brutal and senseless killing (that is how the particular killing was described by the Bangladesh foreign ministry reportedly) of a 15 year old girl by the BSF on January 7. The situation had come to such a pass that the chairman of the Bangladesh Human Rights Commission was constrained to invoke the help of his Indian counterpart.
 
One is at a loss to rationalise the trigger-happy attitude of the BSF, and even more at the fact that the killings have gone on in spite of the declaration of unilateral moratorium on border firings by the Indian government, and assurances of the BSF authorities at the very highest level of command that such killings would cease. Statistics of border deaths belie the much vaunted excellent state of relationship between the two countries.
 
Felani's killing (that was the name of the poor girl who was shot like a sitting duck literally when her sari got entangled in the barbed wire she was trying to negotiate in her attempt to cross the border illegally) makes BSF explanations of the shootings, and the descriptions of those being killed as being criminals and felons armed to the teeth, sound hollow. It is a fig leaf that fails to hide their contempt for human lives. And hiding behind semantics and resorting to verbal subterfuge like these are not killings but death by firing, as the BSF DG tried unsuccessfully during his visit to Dhaka in September of 2010, doesn't assuage the feelings of those affected.
 
It just so happens that a meeting of Bangladesh-India JWG on security is on in Dhaka currently and as one paper has reported, both the countries "have agreed on the need to stop border killing." Is it not such an obvious matter that needs no consultation to "agree upon?" Instead, what one would have liked to hear is what steps would be taken to that end?
 
However, we have been given to understand that the Indian government, in order to prevent deaths in the border, is thinking of providing the BSF with rubber bullets instead of metal ones, to fire at the trespassers, majority of whom, going by the number of reported deaths in BSF firing, happens to be Bangladeshis. And Bangladesh has taken the credit for suggesting such an alternative.
 
A bullet, whatever it is one chooses to coat it with, rubber, or sugar or honey, will still hurt, and if it happens to strike at a sensitive spot of the human anatomy, may very well kill. Therefore, neither can one take satisfaction in suggesting it as an alternative to metal bullets nor should one feel elated by accepting the suggestion. It is a bad alternative to an equally reprehensible use of illegitimate and disproportionate use of force. And there is nothing to exalt at the new arrangement, since it sanctifies a bad alternative without going into the very fundamental nature of the problem; neither does it guarantee the physical safety of those that choose to use the border illegally, but nonetheless don't deserve death as a consequence of breach of the border.
 
Rubber bullet, according to the manuals, is rubber or rubber-coated projectile which is intended to be a non-lethal alternative to metal projectiles and is used for short range practice and animal control, but is most commonly associated with use in riot control and to disperse protests. According to experts, these are kinetic impact munitions meant to cause pain but not serious injury.
 
Rubber bullets are used at close quarters, but if used indiscriminately can prove lethal; they may cause bone fractures, injuries to internal organs, or death. In a study of 90 patients in Northern Ireland, one died, 17 suffered permanent disabilities or deformities and 41 required hospital treatment after being fired upon with rubber bullets.
 
Since the core element is metal the risk to life remains from misuse, particularly where intentions are hostile. It is more of a defensive expedient, but given the psychological disposition of the Indian border guards, the palliative, poor as it is, will not work.
 
Regrettably, the Bangladesh-India border is not as well managed as it might be. And changing the type of weaponry only is not the answer to a situation which requires a change of mindset of the BSF. Some of the deaths have been due to torture also.
 
Managing the Bangladesh-India border requires a deep understanding of the intricate nature of the border, a border that is not like borders between any two countries. Thus the rationale of rubber bullets is full of holes. And a hole is a hole is hole, as much as a bullet is a bullet is a bullet.

RE: [ALOCHONA] Re: [KHABOR] Father Timm's Letters of 1971 (CITIZENSHIP )




 We see Golam Azam was a pure Pakistani and he was right 100% till 16 decm, 1971, All other pro-independence people was not right according to the law of the land of Pakistan, and he will not be punished for his activities according to the law of Pakistan.
 
If the above statement is wrong..............................Let me declare independence of NoaKhali, on the same context I also should not be brought to justice as being of freedom seeker. Or some one from Sawandeep who declare independence , be father of the nations of Sawandeep should be rewarded.
 
However , all the above are talk of the talk..............................
 
Captain Chowdhury , Golam F. Afkar, Sayeed Aslam, Engr. Shafiqur Rahaman , Farida Mazid all I think did not have minimum studies , training tarbiyat from their childhood on Islam, their parents did not brought up them on Islamic values, environment and teachings otherwise we would see reflection of Islamic way of life in their quote........................I want to be wrong for such a quotation, and seek apology to all the concerned for my such an uncivilized quote.
 
I have been in this Arab country for so many years, observed that the Arab who is more literate he is more islamic but we see opposite to our countries, the guy who is more literate he is more away from Islam, may be their studies on Bengali and English ..........Rabindranath poems.

Dear Mr. Golam Akhter

I am not against awarding Citizenship to any personality who are suppose to have had a good track record for doing good to our nation Bangladesh. Moreover, I am also not against voluntary conversion as happens in Western countries(as cited by you) but definitely oppose conversion by taking advantage of poverty, illiteracy,ignorance and alluring for better life. This is case with almost all the foreign NGO's who thronged in the aftermath of our independence war  as dole giver. As a missioner Mr. Timm's first priority was to conversion as done by such missioners in all poor countries of the world. In HINDUSTAAN there are uproar against such clandestine activities in some state like Assam/Karnataka/Gujrat etc etc resulting in communal riot lately.Some political parties there are demanding tight control over the missionaries to stop conversion. 

I wonder when I see the people with the placard of HR and democracy shouts(Stangsu/Captain Choudhury n their Hindustani gong)) day and night to hang the alleged Razakars n war criminal without carrying any credible investigation and proven by the court of Law. But they want to hide the visible(for them no problem) act of conversion and award him citizenship.I opposed Golam Azam's citizenship on the ground of his proven complicity with the bestial Pakistanis to coerce then East Pakistani people.

According to your argument/opinion  then thousands and thousand Hindustani soldiers who fought(????) and civil activists who took care of the refugees from then Bangladesh surely have attained the right get Bangladeshi citizenship. 

I again reiterate that I do not contest Mr. Timm as a teacher since he was my elder brother's teacher as well but as missioner I will continue to object how much the Sitagshu/Capitano barks since they have gone out of their mind as BALIST who gets mad when see truth is standing in front of their evil design.

Dear Mr.  Faroque Alamgir,
 
We, Bangladesh-USA Human Rights Coalition Inc. with due respect want to oppose your contention to your proposition that Father Timm does not deserve to be considered to be awarded the coveted citizenship of Bangladesh. the reason you cited that his mission was to convert "After leaving the teaching he joined CARITAS �a well known foreign funded Christian NGO like MCC, OXFAM, TERE DES HOMES, WORLD�VISION and many others whose clandestine aim is conversion.There were lot of reporting in late 80's and early 90's about such illegal acts of conversion by the NGO's. The foreign funded �NGO including some UN agencies are now trying to create law n order situation in the Chittagong Hill Trak as reported lately so, the Govt. has put restriction on the activities."
Your view on conversion or attempt to convert freely,  openly, with the consent of converts is not illegal, (reference Article 18, below), I do not know where do you live or what you read , in USA and other law abiding and all signatories of UN charter can not and should not obstruct any conversion at all, (Muslim conversion in UK is doubled---https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox/12d5d250494ea55e  )it is  part of our freedom as a human being.
Mr.  Faroque Alamgir, let us come to more serious concept and definition of human being, according to Article 1, we are endowed with 'reason and conscience ' this is the only quality which differentiate us from animal, animal does not have ' reasoning  and conscientious behavior' otherwise they have all feelings like us. so if our views, behaviour and writings do not have 'reason and conscience' then we should be considered as animal though we look like human being - eat and dress like human being. Now let me cite one of your reasoning-    you want freedom of opinion, freedom of expression and you also want freedom or religion then where is your logic to obstruct conversion on some one's free will, if we behave like that then we are animal and deserve to be treated like animal restrict our unlikable irrational activities, like the Taliban, Alquida, and Afghanistani terrorists are doing irrational things and getting killed by bombs by drones, if you propagate those irrational views, simply declare yourself as Taleban and make us easier to identify you and take proper steps to bring you to proper senses to make you a rational human being with 'reason and conscience'. First thing you have to do; go to 30 articles of human rights as given below in the reference, and read "   reason and conscience    " going by the given link, again and again, until you feel the sensation of real human being and then write, talk, go for your daily routine as human being other wise you are an  a..........while you dress like a human being.
Your behaviour and logic sounds very irrational that you were against the citizenship of 'THE GREATEST JANWAR RAZAKAR GOLAM AZAM'; Prof Golam azam got his citizenship, because he was born in Bangladesh according to Article 15, below:
Regards.
Yours sincerely,
Golam F. Akhter

Friends

It is surprising that some�enthusiasts�are again pleading for citizenship Mr. Timm. But why and for what role he played to the nation that we will have to be grateful and award him the coveted citizenship ???????????????

It reminds me that date back in October 1991 there were few sporadic write up by some enthusiasts of Mr. Timm �who advocated in high voice for the same showing�arguments�that Mr. Timm is�inseparable�to our independence for so and so n so contributions. I along with some other�Bangladeshis�vehemently opposed to the proposal of awarding coveted citizenship to Mr. Timm( re:The Dhaka Courier October 25-31, 1991 issue)..

I personally feel there is no earthly reason to award citizenship toa religious missioner who prime aim was to covert poor Hindu/Muslim/Santals n other simple minded tribal living in bordering ares.He along with other accomplices succeeded in alluring the simple populace with money,job and dream for future and converted big chunk of these tribal populace.

IN THE SAME SMALL WRITE UP I ALSO VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED TO THE DEMAND OF GRANTING COVETED CITIZENSHIP TOTHE GREATEST JANWAR RAZAKAR GOLAM AZAM.BUT THE HIGHEST�JUDICIAL�COURT AWARDED CITIZENSHIP TO THE�RAZAKAR. I CANNOT MAKE�ANY�COMMENT OVER THE VERDICT OF� HIGHEST�JUDICIAL�COURT.

I still maintain that there is no earthly reason why we have to give in to the pressure since we know very clearly his purpose of coming to this part and his achievements. After leaving the teaching he joined CARITAS �a well known foreign funded Christian NGO like MCC, OXFAM, TERE DES HOMES, WORLD�VISION and many others whose clandestine aim is conversion.There were lot of reporting in late 80's and early 90's about such illegal acts of conversion by the NGO's. The foreign funded �NGO including some UN agencies are now trying to create law n order situation in the Chittagong Hill Trak as reported lately so, the Govt. has put restriction on the activities.

Lately, this Mr. Timm has become Champion of HR and that he advocates for the minorities to create a sense of distinctive separation between the people of the minorities and the majority . This is done with purpose to keep our poor country under psychological pressure from other so-called HR Champ nations including the powerful neighbour n succumb to illegal demands. They also do not raise any objection to killing of innocent�Bangladeshis�by the Bestial Security Forces(BSF) on the daily basis.The HR Champs do never raise a single voice when the majority havenots �of our own country are coerced, suppressed by the brute politics. They also keep their tight lipped when the minorities in the powerful neighbour are subject to random killing, rape n pushed back in inhuman condition.�

So, we can clearly make an assessment of the purpose of Mr. Timm's coming here and work for humanity(?????). It is correct that the minorities of any given territory are subject to deprivation, humiliation and coercion( which is random in our neighbouring friendly nation HINDUSTAN n this needed serious attention. But for this we do not need any alien to come and teach us since we have enough conscious group to cater the need.�


I personally appreciate his feelings and endeavours in this respect. But it reminds me of �a phrase that"charity begins at home".I am sure honest readers will agree with me that Mr. Timm is much needed in his own country since millions and millions of Blacks/Hispanics and�immigrants�from different continents are in�disheveled condition resulting in deprivation of their HR on every count. He should have been there to help those unfortunate people had he had real love for the minorities as propagated by the over enthusiasts.

Dear Friends,

It is very nice to hear from you and your appreciation for Fr. Timm's contribution in building our country, development and human rights. He is still very active and coming regularly to the office. If you could write to him about all good appreciation that you are writing, he will feel good. He became old but his mind is still young and active.

I really thank you all and wish that you will continue your efforts for Fr. Timm's citizenship in Bangladesh. If you all write from your own perspective as you know Fr. Timm, I feel this government will ultimately grant his last wish - to die as Bangladeshi.

With you all a very blessed, happy, prosperous and bright New Year - 2011.

Blood suckers animals can't spare a poor girl. Hasina has given them the whole country to cruise around in the name of corridor and in return, they are running havoc in the border.
Shame Indian bootlicker Hasina.

[ALOCHONA] Double blow for AL




The ruling Awami League has suffered a double blow in the just concluded municipality polls: it has lost the battle of ballots to its archrival Bangladesh Nationalist Party. Even a greater loss has been the violence that marred the last day of the staggered polls.

The Election Commission, the administration and especially the ruling party won praises for making the first three days of elections peaceful and largely credible.

But the gains were lost on the fourth and last day of the voting when supporters of the AL-backed mayoral candidates snatched ballots, attacked polling stations and torched vehicles in Noakhali, Feni and Laxmipur districts. Authorities have been forced to suspend polling in many centres.

The Awami League-blessed candidates having 88 mayoral posts were behind the BNP-backed candidates who bagged 92 posts, according to election results of 236 municipalities.

The last day's violence has ruined what could have been a victory for the government and the ruling party even after its electoral loss. Making the elections peaceful all through could have been a rare trophy for the ruling party and the government.

The rampage also brought to public mind the bitter history of polls in Bangladesh.

Except a few instances, parliamentary or local government polls have never been free of manipulation by ruling party and interference by the government.

Remember the Magura by-polls in 1994?

Allegations of massive rigging by the then ruling party BNP finally led to the introduction of the caretaker government to oversee national elections in Bangladesh.

The then opposition led by AL refused to take part in the parliamentary elections under the then BNP government in February 1996. The sixth parliament, which had lasted only 11 days, passed the constitution 13th amendment act, introducing the caretaker government system.

Thus, the culture of winning the elections by any means, growing political intolerance, distrust and rivalries between AL and BNP brought a constitutional amendment leaving power to caretakers for three months. The main job of the caretaker government is to oversee the holding of national elections.

The same practice of using muscle power to manipulate elections was seen in subsequent local government voting. The last union parishad elections held in 2003 with the BNP-led four party alliance in power saw much violence. The then ruling party's violent means to manipulate the elections left around 80 people dead during the polls.

The last municipality election, held between May 5 and May 10, 2004 with the BNP-Jamaat-led alliance government in office, was marked by violence and irregularities.

The silver lining that was emerging in the just-concluded municipal polls has now been tainted by violence.

It could have been otherwise. The AL-led Grand Alliance government could have used its loss as an opportunity to learn some crucial lessons: to try to find why it fared so poorly and then improve its work in the three years still left.

The government should carefully analyse the message it has received from people and take steps without blaming only party's rebels for the defeat.

In fact, it is good for the government that it has got an early warning just two years into its governance. It has three more years to do better.

The government still can demonstrate its good will if it takes stern actions against those who were involved in the latest polls violence.

The election results also indicate that the ruling AL's grassroots remain unorganised and lack discipline. The party's high command should think how to revamp field level workers who sustain a political party.

The results should boost the opposition camp. But the BNP in no way can claim all the credit for its gains. The party has done little to stage such a huge comeback just two years after its drubbing in the 2009 parliamentary polls.

The BNP is still trying to overcome internal feuding and lack of discipline.

BNP has its own lessons to learn from the polls. Rebels in the AL, price hike of essentials and violent activities of ruling party men in many areas are among the reasons why voters in many places have turned away from the ruling party.

BNP will sure use the results to boost its anti-government campaign. But it should not rush to the conclusion that the people have displayed no-confidence to the AL-led Grand Alliance government.

Finally, the Election Commission (EC) deserved kudos for conducting the elections that were considered even by independent observers as largely peaceful and credible.

It's time to build on the gains and look forward to the Union Parishad polls due in March/April.

[ALOCHONA] AFP on Yunus



Bangladesh's Nobel winner Yunus in trouble at home
 
Lauded internationally for his innovative work making small loans to poor entrepreneurs, at home he has been dragged to court to answer charges of defamation and faces a government probe into his bank.
 
The two blows in quick succession over the last month have led to speculation -- denied by the government -- that his woes stem from personal differences with Hasina, who said in December that microfinanciers were "sucking blood from the poor."
M.M. Akash, a commentator and economics professor at Dhaka University, said Yunus's problems are rooted in events in 2007, a tumultuous period in the history of the impoverished South Asian country.
 
"Hasina and Yunus appeared to be on good terms before he floated the idea for a political party," he said. "That was a huge political blunder and he is now paying the price for it."
After months of political turmoil, including violent street clashes between supporters of the two main parties, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and the Awami League, the military seized power in January 2007 in a bloodless coup.
 
A month later, Yunus announced plans to set up his own party, the Nagorik Shakti or Citizen Power, which the septuagenarian "banker to the poor" said would change Bangladesh's confrontational political culture."My politics will be the politics of unity and peace to establish honesty in politics and to change the fate of the nation," Yunus said at the time, offering an alternative vision to the country's two main parties.
 
By May 2007, however, he had abandoned his plans and the following year in December 2008, Hasina's Awami League returned to power in a landslide victory."The ruling party is not happy with him. There is an attempt to malign him personally so as to send him the message that he is not indispensable," Salauddin Aminuzzaman, political science professor at Dhaka University said.
 
"They want to remind him: don't even think about politics," he told AFP, adding that most Bangladeshis thought Yunus's legal woes were a case of Hasina "settling old scores."
The first sign of problems was in November 2010 when a Norwegian documentary accused Yunus of misusing Norwegain aid money given to his Grameen Bank in 1996.
 
This was investigated by Oslo, which cleared Yunus, but the issue was taken up by the Bangladeshi government and led to the announcement of a separate probe into Grameen.
Hasina accused Yunus of pulling a "trick" to avoid tax and online newspaper, BDnews24.com, owned by one of her senior economics advisers, seized on the story and ran a string of articles accusing Yunus of "syphoning" off aid.
 
Separately, a long-dormant defamation lawsuit lodged in 2007 against Yunus by a low-ranking official of a left-leaning party allied to hers came back to life, leading to a brief court appearance on Tuesday.
 
Yunus stands accused of defaming the country's political class through an interview with AFP in 2007 in which he said politics in Bangladesh was about "the power to make money."
The government maintains the Grameen Bank probe is not directed at Yunus and denies claims of a political vendetta."There is no politics behind this investigation. Yunus wanted to launch a party, but he never did," Hasina's economic adviser, Mashiur Rahman, told AFP Wednesday.
 
"We are simply investigating whether anything is amiss in Grameen Bank's operations. Yunus as such is not the primary objective of the investigation," he added.

[ALOCHONA] AL performance




Thursday, January 20, 2011

Front Page

AL sees it as wakeup call

Ruling Awami League plans to restore chain of command in the party, and correct its leaders' and activists' often discourteous behaviour with the public, to avert further slide in its popularity.

The plan came after BNP-backed candidates bagged more mayoral posts than the candidates backed by AL in the just concluded municipal polls.

AL policymakers primarily identified a breakdown of the chain of command, lack of coordination, internal feud, and inappropriate selection of candidates for backing, as major reasons for the party's lesser performance in the polls.



http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=170807


Is it a joke?

didn't AL leaders know what party-men have been doing for the past 2 years?


They were hallucinating...as they did during '1972 - 1975period'......that everything is ok.

It is time for Bangladeshis to wake up......and ask themselves, what damages AL have done

in every spheres of life, since coming to power.



best wishes.


khoda hafez.
