[mukto-mona] Corrupt millionaire ministers in Bangladesh 2001-2006 !!!!!!



Corruption is the number one problem for Bangladesh. Transparency International in its annual report placed Bangladesh at the top of the list of most corrupt nations in the world. Certainly, it makes the politicians in Bangladesh, especially those in power, extremely uncomfortable and worried. It is apprehended that in the coming report of Transparency International, Bangladesh is going to be placed once again at the top. Although the ruling alliance in the country are making frantic bids in cleansing the image of Bangladesh, it is well understood that, international community are yet to be convinced to the fact that, Begum Khaleda Zia's government is doing something in eliminating corruption from different section in the country. Only recently, an intelligence agency in the country identified 11 mid ranking officials with National Board of Revenue, who own 15 luxurious villas in countries port city of Chittagong, which costs US$ 2.5 million. It is important to mention here that, monthly salary of these officials are less than US$ 400 per month! Police and Customs (revenue) are the most corrupt departments in Bangladesh. Almost all the officers, on their retirement, emerge as multi-millionaire. They acquire wealth and properties in their own name of in the names of their spouses. It is almost an open secret in the country. Government also knows these facts, but is unable to take any action.

In recent days, names of some of the members of the present cabinet in Bangladesh comes as the worst corrupts. They minted money like wild gambling. Sixty members of parliament rose complaint against a particular minister, while the Prime Minister did not take any action against him. It is also learnt that, many of the family members of Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia are becoming fabulously rich, by using state power. The most talked about corrupt figure in Bangladesh is Tareq Rahman, eldest son of the Prime Minister. Tareq became billionaire just in few years, while many of his friends, who were partners in homosexual activities or in the addiction of Phensidyl also became very rich under the direct patronization of the son of PM. Tareq has established Hawa Bhaban, which is although considered as one of the offices of the ruling party. There are solid evidences of this office's involvement in interfering in almost all the business and contracts in the country. Hawa Bhaban palls are considered as the most influential figures in Bangladesh. One of the Hawa Bhaban palls is Giasuddin Mamun, who is tareq's closest friend too. Hailing from an extreme poor family in the southern part of Bangladesh, Mamun is today one of the richest men in Bangladesh through various corruption, smuggling and many other forms of illegal activities.
Surprisingly one of the assistant press secretaries of Prime Minister Zia, Touhidul Islam alias Ashik Islam is simultaneously working in the PMO as well in Hawa Bhaban as its spokesman. Moreover, this man is also involved with Tareq's private television channel, Channel One. There are numerous allegations on Ashik's involvement in a number of financial irregularities as well of misappropriating state money with various excuses, government did not take any action against this man, as he is considered to be one of the closest aides of Tareq Rahman. In the PMO too, Ashik is known as an womanizer, alcoholic, bribe taker and blackmailer. Prime Minister Khaleda Zia was notified several times about this man's illegal activities by country's intelligence agencies. But, she could not take any action against Ashik, as Tareq always stood behind him with fullest support.
Khaleda'a own brother, Sayeed Iskander, who is a sacked major of Bangladesh army, also turned into multi-millionaire by using the influence of his sister. Sayeed runs a company named dandy Dying, which is a mere camouflage of his other activities. Behind the mask of Dandy Dying, Sayeed is involved in minting fabulous amount of cash through kick backs or other means; as well he is virtually active as the unseen defense advisor to the Prime Minister. No posting or promotion in the army is possible without his blessings or recommendations. Sayeed Iskander placed a number of his course-mates and even some of his close relatives in the sensitive and important positions in Bangladesh Army. A man with high political ambition, Sayeed is known to be one of the key conspirators in seizing power from Khaleda by using his grip in the armed forces. His ultimate goal is to become the future Prime Minister of Bangladesh. Khaleda's late husband President Ziaur Rahman sacked Sayeed Iskander from Bangladesh Army for his alleged involvement in a number of corruption charges. Zia was one of the few honest figures in Bangladesh politics, who did not allow any of the members of his family to make money using state power. Not only that, Ziaur Rahman was the man, who did not interfere when both of his sons were ousted from St. Joseph School, which is considered one of the most prestigious schools in Dhaka. Zia's sons were to leave this school because they turned to be duffers and extremely inattentive to their education. Tareq and his brother requested their daddy to readmit them in St. Joseph, when angry Ziaur Rahman said, "I am not in power to support inattentive sons of mine".
The present government will finish its tenure this October. Meantime, names of most corrupt ministers are already coming in circulation, with figures of cash they minted during the five-year term of the BNP government since 2001. The corrupt ministers are:
01. Barrister Nazmul Huda, amount earned – US$ 0.5 billion
02. Mirza Abbas, amount earned – US$ 43 million
03. Begum Khurshid Jahan Haque (sister of PM), amount earned – US$ 40 million
04. Tariqul Islam, amount earned – US$ 38 million
05. Abdul Mannan Buiyan, amount earned – US$ 35 million
06. Salahuddin Ahmed, amount earned – US$ 32 million
07. Barrister Aminul Huq, amount earned – US$ 31 million
08. Chowdhury Kamal Ibne Yusuf, amount earned – US$ 30 million
09. Altaf Hussain Chowdhury, amount earned – US$ 28 million

24. Advocate Ruhul Quddus Talikder Dulu, amount earned – US$ 8 million
25. Lutfur Rahman Khan Azad, amount earned – US$ 6 million
Finance Minister M. Saifur Rahman is although considered to be a clean man, his sons are engaged in minting money by using the influence of their father. His sons are involved in several businesses like multi-level marketing (a company, which just disappeared after taking a few million dollars from the innocent people), customs clearing and forwarding business (this company is handling most of the big businesses in the country, just because, finance minister's sons are partners in the business), readymade garments (smuggling of narcotics are done under the cover of this business) etc.

Re: [mukto-mona] That Dreaded Drone Strike Genie



I do not blame Americans. If they can kill Talibans from the sky, why would anybody want to a fight a hand to hand combat with Taliban? Future wars will be fought with drones whether we like or not.

Kerry Says Drone Strikes in Pakistan Will End, Spokesperson Takes it Right Back
thecable.foreignpolicy.com
Secretary of State John Kerry declared in an interview with Pakistan TV Thursday that U.S. drone strikes in the country will soon come to an end . . .

<< In practice, the drone strike genie is refusing to be returned to the bottle, as evidenced by State's comment today that the United States would never "deprive" itself "of a tool to fight a threat if it arises." Compare that statement to Obama's May speech: "As our fight enters a new phase, America's legitimate claim of self-defense cannot be the end of the discussion. To say a military tactic is legal, or even effective, is not to say it is wise or moral in every instance. For the same human progress that gives us the technology to strike half a world away also demands the discipline to constrain that power -- or risk abusing it." >>

Re: [mukto-mona] Fw: France struggles to separate Islam and the state



People should follow the laws of the land. France has banned only full veils but not other foreign customs, Why can't people respect the law? Why this should be an overreaction from French side? They do not want these full veiled people in their country, period! These economical migrants have the choice to conform to French society or move back to their own countries. Why this a problem?

I have a different opinion. Our societies (I mean all religious groups) in general do not tolerate a non-believer. The word "non-believer" or "atheist" is a "cuss" word in our society. An atheist is a damned member of the society. An atheist is portrayed as an immoral and unethical hopeless person. We have seen and are still seeing drama that started with the discovery of atheist bloggers and involvement of some of them in Shahbag Projonmo Chotwor movement. All top leaders (of political and religious groups) of the country including the prime minister herself and many intellectuals to various degrees have shown their intolerance with the bloggers most of whom are not atheists at all.  
Having said this I must admit that traditionally our people have in general been living side by side with religious harmony. Borkha, dhoti, beef, etc. in general have never broken that harmony. 
In my opinion the new French law forbidding veil is an over-reaction. Unless a veil causes professional hazard or security threat or creates public nuisance, any one should have the freedom to wear whatever he or she wants.
Those who wear veils need more "light" which can only be guaranteed by providing them with good living conditions, modern education and employment.

The difference between Western secularism and our own centuries-old Bengali secularism is that ours has more freedom of religion,  inclusive of non-believers in religion,  in the total concept of secularism.   ~ ~ Farida Majid

TRAPPES, France (AP) - Riots broke out over a full-face Islamic veil. A woman may have lost her unborn baby in another confrontation over her face covering. Tensions flared over a supermarket chain's ad for the end-of-day feast for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

France struggles to separate Islam and the state

TRAPPES, France (AP) — Riots broke out over a full-face Islamic veil. A woman may have lost her unborn baby in another confrontation over her face covering. Tensions flared over a supermarket chain's ad for the end-of-day feast for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
France's enforcement of its prized secularism is inscribed in law, most recently in a ban on wearing full-face veils in public. Meant to ensure that all faiths live in harmony, the policy instead may be fueling a rising tide of Islamophobia and driving a wedge between some Muslims and the rest of the population.
Yet ardent defenders of secularism, the product of France's separation of church and state, say the country hasn't gone far enough. They want more teeth to further the cause that Voltaire helped inspire and Victor Hugo championed, this time with a law targeting headscarves in the work place.
A new generation of French Muslims — which at some 5 million, or about eight percent of the population, is the largest in Western Europe — is finding a growing voice in a nation not always ready to accommodate mosques, halal food and Muslim religious dress. Political pressure from a resurgent far-right has increased the tension.
Women who wear Muslim apparel "are no longer safe," said Mohera Lukau, a 26-year-old mother of three living in Trappes, a town south of Paris known for its large immigrant population, high unemployment and women who wear long robes or hide their faces behind veils.
Police clashed last week with crowds protesting the arrest of a man who allegedly attacked an officer after his wife was ticketed for veiling her face in public. Dozens of cars were set afire in two nights of unrest in Trappes and an adjoining town. A 14-year-old boy suffered an eye injury.
Weeks earlier, a man allegedly assaulted a pregnant woman and ripped off her veil— one of two separately accosted in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil. She lost her baby days later, although the link with the incident remains unclear. Insults have been unleashed on women wearing Muslim headscarves, with investigations or court cases in three attacks in Reims and three more in Orleans.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls has denounced "a rise of violence against the Muslims of France." At a dinner breaking the Ramadan fast at the Grand Mosque of Paris, he insisted that Islam and the French Republic are compatible. But he signaled the belief by some French people that Muslims want their own rules, denouncing "those who want to make France a land of conquest."
Lukau has received the message as a sign that she is not entirely welcome in her native country. She veils her head and body but not her face, and covers the heads of her daughters, two and four years old, with hijab scarves that drape over the shoulders. People tell Lukau, who is of Algerian origin, "If you're not happy, leave, go home," she said. But, she pointed out, she was born in France.
Most French people are baptized Catholic, but church attendance has been in decline for decades and secular ideals run deep. With the growth of France's Muslim population, lawmakers have increasingly turned to legislation to try to stifle public displays of Islamic faith.
In 2004, lawmakers passed a law that bans "ostentatious" religious symbols in public schools, a measure clearly directed at Islamic headscarves. It has been enforced with barely a hitch, although no one knows how many students dropped out of school rather than submit. A two-year-old law banning burqa-style veils from the streets of France has had a bumpier ride, even though only some 2,000 Muslim women cover their faces. Islam does not require face veils or even hair coverings, and most Muslim women in France wear neither.
A report by the Observatory of Secularism, installed this year by President Francois Hollande, revealed that a handful of the 705 women stopped by police for covering their faces in public chalked up more than 10 tickets each — two of them more than 25, suggesting that some are provoking authorities intentionally.
But it is not just veils that have raised controversy. A local official in Nimes, in southern France, posted on his Facebook account an ad by the Carrefour supermarket chain publicizing "oriental" dishes for the nightly breaking of the fast during Ramadan — with the comment, "Our Republic, is it still secular? Everything is on the way out." After an outcry from Muslims, the post was quickly removed.
"Why, when there are Catholic feasts, is no one upset? Why, when there are Jewish feasts, is no one upset? Why, when there are Chinese feasts, is no one upset? Why, when there are Muslim feasts, is that upsetting?" asked Abdallah Zekri, the Nimes representative of the French Council for the Muslim faith. "Muslims are French citizens and live in France."
While several European countries embrace secular values, France has been at the forefront of enforcing them, with the separation of church and state enshrined in law since 1905. But France is also home to the greatest tensions over them. Some defenders of secularism say the country needs to be educated about keeping religion out of public life — and needs one more law to protect secularism in private companies.
"When the rules aren't clear, things can get out of hand," said Alain Seksig, a member of the High Council of Integration who led a government-mandated mission on secularism that encourages rules for companies concerning dress and other religious practices.
"Laicite," the French word for secularism, is a la mode today. Associations throughout France work to uphold it. Far-right groups use it as a mantra, and leftists embrace it as well. There is even a secularism prize.
Defenders often evoke Voltaire, the 18th-century Enlightenment philosopher whose writings condemn religious fanaticism and espouse tolerance. Or Victor Hugo, who advocated education free of the grip of the then-powerful Roman Catholic Church.
But the concept is meant to protect religion from government, as well. Many Muslims say that France's obsession with secularism is trampling on their rights and more moderate advocates for secularism agree, arguing that the 1905 law is being twisted. Conceived to ensure freedom of conscience, it is doing the opposite, they contend.
Hicham Benaissa of the National Center for Scientific Research said today's secularism "appears to be a sort of (protection) against the religious influence of Islam" when "its spirit is to protect the faiths."
In the latest case to provoke calls for new regulations, a pre-school fired a woman who refused to remove her headscarf. An appeals court ruling in March calling the firing illegal spurred a demand for laws protecting secularism in private companies that would govern, for instance, dress and schedule requirements for prayer time or religious holidays.
A resulting bill to regulate religion in companies, sponsored by the opposition conservatives, failed. President Hollande says there's a need to "protect" children in private pre-schools, but his Socialist Party does not appear ready for a new law quite yet. Another report, released in June by the Observatory, tried to tone down the controversy, suggesting that slights to secularism have been exaggerated and dialogue, not a new law, may solve problems.
Guylain Chevrier, a member of the High Council on Integration who trains social workers, says the government is being too soft, trying "to put a Band-Aid on the situation."
"One educator offered a prayer rug to a child," he said. "Religion has no right to be mixed up in the private lives of citizens."
For Lukau, such laws are encouraging the separatism they are trying to prevent. She believes they are driving Muslims away from the mainstream, leading to the growth of private Muslim schools and propelling Muslims to open their own businesses.
The law and the media "with their constant finger-pointing at Muslims are the reason the French population has become aggressive," she said.
Because of her robes, Lukau sells cosmetics from her home. "I myself couldn't apply for a job in an office."
