------- Forwarded message ----------
Seven years after the grenade attack on an Awami League rally, survivor Abdul Matin, who had been paralysed for some time, wants to meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and ask for a job.
Today is the seventh anniversary of the horrific grenade attack on Bangabandhu Avenue which was apparently carried out to assassinate Hasina, then opposition leader. Twenty-four people died in the attack including Ivy Rahman, wife of President Zillur Rahman. The attack also left scores of people injured who now have to live with the scars.
Matin was partially paralysed after the attack in 2004.
One of the many splinters he carries in his body today had entered his head and left the right side of his body inactive.
He lost his salesman job at a shop and has been unemployed ever since due to his physical inability. Now he can walk but with great difficulty.
Hailing from Barguna, the forty-year-old reached Dhaka on Friday. This is the first time Matin is going to attend any programme in Dhaka commemorating the August 21 attack.
He wants an audience with the prime minister. He wants to stand on his own feet again, earn for his food and treatment since he is regaining senses in the right side of his body.
"I can only move slightly but I cannot do much with this movement. I need help of others even if I want to get on a bus," the Awami League activist told The Daily Star yesterday.
"I have no job now…" he said, adding, "I need a job now to survive." He received Tk 25,000 in last two and a half years from the government for treatment but he has to spend Tk 750 a month for pills alone.
On that fateful day, Matin was listening to Hasina at the rally. He heard the sound of a huge blast and within seconds he heard a number of similar bangs. "Suddenly, I understood that something had hit me on the head and then I lost consciousness. I can't remember anything else but then I regained senses at Dhaka Medical College Hospital several hours later," Matin recalled.
Stories of many other survivors of the August 21, 2004, attack are not different from Matin's. Many survivors still suffer from various physical and mental complications. The Daily Star talked to several of them to know how they are passing their days now.
With around 200 splinters inside his body, Mohammad Mukti Mamun, a survivor and Jubo League leader from Bashabo, cannot walk for a few minutes. The excruciating pain stops him.
"I have to take medicine every day, otherwise the splinters inside my body start itching," said Mukti, who was on the southern end of the dais for speakers.
"I could not stand up and I got frightened seeing all the blood coming out of my body," Mukti recalled. He was rushed to DMCH after the attack and later moved to a private hospital.
Kazi Jamir Uddin Siddique Titu has another problem. He cannot sleep well. Nightmares haunt him.
"I often wake up at night having nightmares of the incident...I have been living with around 50 splinters inside my body, mainly in the back and left chest," Titu of Brahmanbaria said.
He cannot even offer his prayers the usual way. He has to pray sitting on a chair since he still feels the pain.
His doctor asked him not to climb more than a few flights of stairs. He is now in Dhaka to join the August 21 commemoration programme.
However, Mukti and Titu are pleased with the supplementary charge sheet submitted in the cases filed in connection with the attack. They want exemplary punishment for the masterminds and others involved.
CHARGE SHEET & TRIAL
The Criminal Investigation Department on July 3 submitted supplementary charge sheets including BNP chief Khaleda Zia's son Tarique Rahman, former state minister Lutfozzaman Babar, Khaleda's political secretary Harris Chowdhury and Jamaat leader Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed and 30 others in the August 21 grenade attack cases.
According to the charge sheet, Hawa Bhaban, former political office of Khaleda Zia which was considered a BNP power house, different militant organisations and a number of people from the administration had collaborated in the planning and execution of the grisly attack.
The Court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate on August 16 this year transferred the supplementary charge sheets of the murder case to the Second Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court of Dhaka for trial.
Two cases were filed in connection with the attack, one for murder and the other was filed under Explosive Substances Act.
PROGRAMMES
The Awami League has plans for two days of programmes to observe the seventh anniversary of the grenade attack.
It will begin with placing of wreaths at the memorial plaque in front of the Awami League central office on Bangabandhu Avenue in honour of the deceased leaders and workers at 11:00am today.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will exchange views with family members of those killed and the survivors at Gono Bhaban at 5:00pm. A discussion will also be held at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital at 3:00pm tomorrow with Awami League chief Hasina as the chief guest.
Awami League General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam urged all to observe the day and attend the discussion programme.
The current state of the foreign ministry
PROFESSIONALISM has no match in formulation and implementation of a
country's foreign policy. The slightest mistake in formulating and
conducting foreign policy can make the country vulnerable to attack by
foreign powers. Therefore, it should be formulated keeping in mind a
country's interests while avoiding any attitude that might be
construed as a hostile or unfriendly act of the government. Foreign
service officers and political entities who head the foreign ministry
should be well-acquainted with the nitty-gritty of the foreign policy.
Recently, the foreign ministry saw an influx of people from other
areas who do not seem to be acquainted with the ins and outs of the
country's foreign policy. Half a dozen ambassadors come from a
different sector, some of them placed in important countries,
including Russia and Britain. Germany, an important donor country and
second highest export destination of Bangladeshi products, remains
without an ambassador for quite some time. I recall the generous
contribution of the German government and NGOs when severe floods
affected Bangladesh in 1998. At that time I was in charge of the
Bangladesh embassy in Bonn as the ambassador was on leave. The
permanent representative to the United Nations is also represented by
a non-diplomat — an American citizen of Bangladesh origin. His recent
meeting with the exiled Tibetan Dalai Lama raised eyebrows in the
political circles in Beijing. If no appropriate explanation is given
to the Chinese authorities, the relations between Bangladesh and China
will grow cold. Bangladesh needs China much more than China needs
Bangladesh. Our country should maintain balanced relationships with
the two Asian giants, China and India, in the interests of the
country.
Sex scandals involving diplomats at the ambassador level has seriously
damaged the image of the foreign ministry. In June this year, the
Bangladesh ambassador to Japan, AKM Mujibur Rahman, was called back to
Dhaka on such a charge. Japan has been playing a very important role
in developing the infrastructure of Bangladesh since pre-liberation
days of the country, apart from turning out to be our largest donor
country. In the recent past, another diplomat, Hasib Aziz, was called
back to the foreign affairs ministry for taking an Uzbek woman as a
second wife without seeking permission from the government. He later
married two others. The latest incident involving someone with a
non-diplomatic background was that of the ambassador to Nepal, Neem
Chandra Bhowmik, which turned out to be a very serious matter. Apart
from the scandal, the former applied physics teacher of Dhaka
University was accused of meddling in the internal affairs of Nepal.
There has been allegation of corruption against him while offering
scholarships to Nepalese students selected by the Bangladesh
government. As reported, he lacks mannerism and diplomatic etiquette
in dealing with foreign government. There has been serious allegation
against the Bangladesh ambassador, as reported in the news media, that
he gave ride to retired Indian general Jacob to different meeting
places in his official car flying the Indian flag. It is an
unbelievably disgraceful affair. No action has yet been taken despite
requests from the Nepalese government for calling him back. Needless
to say that Nepal is a very important country in the region for
Bangladesh. Also, allegation of corruption against the Bangladesh high
commission in Britain needs to be looked into by the foreign ministry.
Both the prime minister and the foreign minister have toured many
parts of the world by now, the achievements to which are not much
visible. After Bangladesh has allowed transit facilities to India from
Akhaura to Tripura, India will succeed in establishing link with its
seven landlocked sister states through Bangladesh territory, apart
from using Bangladesh sea ports. It may be recalled here that
following our independence, the Chittagong Port was under a mine
cleaning operation by Russian naval units, due to which Bangladesh had
placed a request to use the Calcutta Port for transhipment for the
time being. The request was denied by the Indian government at a time
when friendship between the two countries was at its highest peak as
India had assisted our freedom fighters to liberate the country from
Pakistan's subjugation. Speaking recently at Bangladesh strategic
study institute, the visiting Indian foreign minister reportedly said
that Bangladesh would enjoy trade relations with the Indian landlocked
states. The possibility of such scenario is bleak as these areas are
low income. The entire north-eastern part of India is infested with
insurgency. For all practical purposes, the government of India has no
hold on Nagaland. Arunachal Pradesh has become controversial since
China claimed 16 districts of the state. Apart from this, the Indian
authorities are in the process of demarcating the border by
constructing barbed wire fences along Bangladesh borders without
consulting the Bangladesh authorities, which should be considered an
unfriendly act. Killing of Bangladeshi nationals by India's Border
Security Force is increasing without any serious protest from the
Bangladesh side. Without resolving water sharing issues, India is
reportedly ready to construct Tipaimukh dam, in spite of protests from
the local people. Although the government of India verbally assured
that no damage would be done to Bangladesh if it is constructed,
experts are of the opinion that there would be tremendous adverse
effect on Bangladesh, it being the lower riparian country. In a way,
much more harm would be inflicted on Bangladesh than was by the
Farakka barrage. Since China is going ahead with a project to divert
waters from the River Brahmaputra in Tibet to arid Xinxiang region,
apart from building hydroelectric power plant, India is taking
initiative to make a dam to preserve waters from Brahmaputra, causing
damage to Bangladesh. Brahmaputra is an international river and the
interest of lower riparian should be looked into.
The non-recognition of Kosovo by the Bangladesh government may have
irritated the United States which took the initiative to recognise
Kosovo. There are similarities between the birth of Bangladesh and
that of Kosovo from the subjugation of Serbia. It is understood that
the Russian influence has deterred the recognition of Kosovo by
Bangladesh. Possibly, the issue is linked with the construction of the
atomic energy plant by Russia at Rooppur in Pabna. The treaty between
Bangladesh and Russia is likely to be signed when the prime minister
pays a visit to Russia this year. This would be her second visit to
Russia.
The ministry of foreign affairs suffers from a shortage of manpower to
run it effectively. With the departure of the ambassadors to China and
France, there will be a vacuum in the ministry in respect of foreign
language oriented diplomat. The post of additional foreign secretary
remains vacant till writing of this article. The director general is
looking after the territorial desk. No director general, however
efficient, can handle the territorial desk without gaining a clear
perception thorough training abroad. Each territorial desk is
different from the point of view of geography, history and current
affairs from other desks. From the desk officer to the
director-general level, the ministry needs specialisation in the area
to make judgment on significant issues which might affect the national
interest of the country. Research work on important developments
around Bangladesh and international platform is very important in
formulating foreign policy. The ministry lacks a full-fledged research
wing. It may consider introducing a course for non-diplomatic
ambassadors before posting them abroad.
A state can be governed by a person uninitiated in politics, but
foreign ministry could not be run by non-professional diplomats. The
government should pay much more attention to the ministry of foreign
affairs as it stands as the first line of defence for the country.

Here are my two cents for this debate: Socialism will work only in heaven where there are no earthly needs exist. "There", people are busy with their own idiosyncratic passions and nobody checks their productivity. Socialism has totally failed us and it has no future in our current or future society. Some Indian diehards still might be dreaming about those Lenin/Stalin's days without having to experience the practicalities of slavery under the unelected state apparatchiks. These morons should go to Cuba and ask Cubans about their experience about socialism!

Among the rarely-erudite scholars on Marx and Marxism who stated ingenuously that the drift began with Lenin is Prof Paresh Chattopadhyay of the University of Quebec. Therefore, it's not ethical to blame socialism.Â
