West Bengal names airport after Nazrul Islam

Submitted by Shahriar.Asif on Thu, 19/09/2013 - 9:24pm

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has christened the airport at Andal near Durgapur in Bardhman, some 100 km from Kolkata, as Kazi Nazrul Islam International Airport, after the Bengali poet, musician and revolutionary.

While inaugurating the airport on Thursday, the Chief Minister said commercial operations at the airport were expected to start early next year.

The airport has been named after Bangladesh's national poet as he was born in Churulia village in the same district, Bardhaman.

The poet's daughter-in-law Kalyani Kazi shared the stage with the Chief Minister at Thursday's event.

The airport, the first privately built greenfield facility in the region, will probably be among the few in the world to be named after a poet.

On June 13, 2006, the airport at Granada, in Spain was officially named after the poet Federico García Lorca who was from the city. In addition, the José Joaquin de Olmedo International Airport, in Guayaquil city in Ecuador, is named after Ecuadorean poet José Joaquin de Olmedo.

The Mytilene International Airport in Greece is also referred to as Odysseas Elytis, after the Greek poet and Nobel Laureate.

"The Kazi Nazrul Islam airport is a landmark achievement. This will mark the beginning of a new era for Bengal as an investment destination," Banerjee said at the event.

The 650-acre airport is the nucleus of the airport city project that will also house an integrated township and an industrial and logistics hub. The township with contain residential blocks, hospitals, schools, markets, hotels, sporting venues, shops, offices and retail centers.

The Aerotropolis project is expected to draw investment of Rs 12,000 crore (roughly Tk 15,000 crore) and provide 40,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities. When complete, it will be home to nearly 15,000 people.


Banerjee had in May this year sent a proposal to officials of Bengal Aerotropolis Limited to name the upcoming airport after Kazi Nazrul Islam, also known as "Bidrohi Kabi'.

"We have already proposed to name the upcoming airport near Durgapur as Kazi Nazrul Islam International Airport," read the Chief Minister's Facebook post, a day before the poet's 114th birth anniversary.

The Aerotropolis authorities had earlier proposed three names—Satyajit Ray, Rabindranath Tagore and Bidhan Chandra Roy—for the airport.

"Kazi Nazrul Islam, the national poet of Bangladesh, is our pride and asset. His nationalistic creations live on and inspire us and generations to come," the Chief Minister had posted on Facebook.

"The state government is also setting up the Kazi Nazrul Islam University at Churulia in Asansol and courses would start from academic year 2013-14," the Chief Minister had also mentioned in her post.

[mukto-mona] ব্রিটেনে নেকাবের আড়ালে থাকা অপরাধীর দণ্ড - হিজাব নেকাব নিয়ে জোর বিতর্ক



ব্রিটেনে নেকাবের আড়ালে থাকা অপরাধীর দণ্ড

হিজাব নেকাব নিয়ে জোর বিতর্ক

তবারুকুল ইসলাম, লন্ডন

কর্মস্থল থেকে ২১ হাজার পাউন্ড চুরির দায়ে নেকাব পরা এক মুসলিম নারীকে এক বছরের জেলদণ্ড দিয়েছে ব্রিটেনের একটি আদালত। সাহিদা লরগেট নামের ৪৯ বছর বয়সী এ নারী পরিচয় গোপন রাখতে মুসলিম মূল্যবোধের কথা বলে সব সময় আদালতে নেকাব পরে থাকতেন। গতকাল বৃহস্পতিবার ল্যাংকাশায়ারের প্রেসটন ক্রাউন কোর্ট এ রায় ঘোষণা করে।

অন্য একটি মামলায় ব্রিটেনের আদালত অপর এক মুসলিম নারীকে সাক্ষ্য দেয়ার সময় অবশ্যই নেকাব খোলার নির্দেশ দেয়ার একদিন পরই এই ঘটনা ঘটল। আইনি কারণে নাম প্রকাশ না হওয়া ঐ নারী আদালতে নেকাব খুলতে রাজি না হওয়ার ঘটনাটি ব্রিটেনে বেশ আলোচনার জন্ম দেয়। সর্বশেষ আদালত মত দেয়, সাক্ষ্য দেয়ার সময় অবশ্যই বিচারকের সামনে তাকে নেকাব খুলতে হবে। এ সময় একটি পর্দা দিয়ে অন্যদের কাছ থেকে তাকে আড়াল করার ব্যবস্থা থাকবে। এদিকে গত দু'সপ্তাহ ধরে দেশটিতে শিক্ষা প্রতিষ্ঠান এবং হাসপাতালে হিজাব বা নেকাবের মত পোশাক পরিধানের উপযুক্ততা নিয়ে জোর বিতর্ক চলছে। বাঙালি অধ্যুষিত পূর্ব লন্ডনে মাদানী গার্লস স্কুল এবং আয়শা সিদ্দিকা স্কুলে ছাত্রীদের বোরখা পরার বাধ্যবাধকতার সমালোচনা করে গতকাল ব্রিটেনের গণমাধ্যম সংবাদ প্রকাশ করে। এমন অবস্থায় অর্থ জালিয়াতির অভিযোগে মুসলিম নারী সাহিদার জেলদণ্ড ব্রিটিশ সমাজে নেকাব সম্পর্কে খারাপ ধারণাকে আরো শক্তিশালী করবে বলে মনে করা হচ্ছে।

সাহিদা লরগেট একটি কলেজে ক্রয়কর্মী হিসেবে কাজ করতেন। তিনি কলেজের ক্রেডিট কার্ড ব্যবহার করে ফ্লোরিডায় অবকাশ যাপন, এ্যালটন টাওয়ার ভ্রমণ, নিজ বাড়ির সাজসজ্জাসহ স্বামীর সঙ্গে ডিভোর্সের মামলায় উকিলের বিল পরিশোধ করেন। গত ফেব্রুয়ারিতে বিষয়টি কর্তৃপক্ষের নজরে আসলে তাকে বরখাস্ত করা হয়। সাহিদার এক প্রতিবেশী বলেন, তিনি তাকে মাথায় স্কার্ফ পরা অবস্থায় দেখলেও কখনো নেকাব পরতে দেখেননি। ফেসবুকের ছবিগুলোতেও তার নেকাব নেই। মামলার রায় ঘোষণার সঙ্গে সঙ্গেই স্থানীয় পুলিশ সাহিদার ছবি প্রকাশ করে যেমনটি তারা যে কোনো সাজাপ্রাপ্ত আসামির বেলায় করে থাকে।

Re: [mukto-mona] যে যত মিথ্যাচার করতে পারবে সে তত বড় BNP নেতা হতে পারবে।





I agree with you, mostly. Awami League should listen to your honest opinions.

As far as Sheikh H, she speaks layman language; that's a good way to communicate with the ordinary people. You are judging her from a higher ground. I would have agreed with you if most voters were educated.

I see only TV clips of her speech; so, I do not know a whole lot. My impression of her could be wrong. What I see is - she mostly replies to Khaleda Zia's political rhetoric using humor and civility, and that's what I like about.

But, I agree with you - such criticisms should come from others; unfortunately, as you said, none available, who can effectively communicate with the ordinary people.

Joy is pretty impressive. His replies in most cases are to-the-point.
 
Joy's target audience should be the urban youth, they generally get swayed easily. Staunch supporters of Awami Leaugue will always vote for Awami Leugue, they don't care about the false propaganda. Around 40% of all votes cast will always go for AL (it was in the low 30 percents in early 90s - ALs achievement under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina had led to this (we should give due credit to her)- even in 2001, AL received 41% of total votes cast).
 
AL needs to target the floating voters in the cities while holding onto their base in the villages. Sheikh Hasina's haughty speecehes and sarcasms actually reduces her support in that target arena of cities(I politely differ with Dr. Roy, I use to attend all general meetings by AL in the 80s and early 90s if held in Dhaka, SH is not a good public communicator).
 
If I am not mistaken, AL received 49% of total votes cast in 2008 (they did not contest in all seats- so in fact tehey received over 50% in the seats they contested)  while Mahajot received 56% or so. Out of that at least 10-12% were neutral votes - who got attracted by vision 2021.
 
Al should target those neutral voters, they have to clearly describe ALs achievement, clearly refute BNP's false allegation and acknowledge where they could not acieve the target yet - at the same time why they could not complete achieving those, clearly explaining the road-blocks and what is being done and will be done to overcome those - for example Padma Bridge).
 
The main problem faced by AL at this point is lack of unity among the leaders (mainly at district/city level). For example, I am not an insider but it looked like Mahiuddin Chowdhury's campaign was sabotaged by some Chittagong leaders (one of them is Nurul Islam BSc).
 
SH should show restraint in her speeches, it looks indecent when she points fingers at her rival's personal character - people do not like this even if those are true. She should not encourage MPs like Apu Ukil from indulging in nasty quarrels. AL should have visible difference from BNP, from people like Papia or Jainal Abdin Faruq (remember addressing a police officer as 'Malauner bachcha). How public money is being spent is a public matter, not who sleeps with whom. She should politely request Mr. Muhit to speak less, he is a nice gentleman and competent as a minister, absolutely honest in monetary matters, but he has become senile and does not know what he is talking about - also telling the truth is not always wise - any small investor who expects positive return everyday and expect to run his livelihood from that earning are no doubt 'fatkabaz' but it is unwise to say so if you are the finance minister. Advocate Quamrul Islam should be told to keep quiet too.
 
SH should beg Suranjit Sengupta to shut his mouth completely, every time he opens his mouth AL loses thousands of votes. Suranjit is a very twisted person  however that 72 lakh taka episode was a well thought-out made-up act. But people perception is that he is the culprit and they already named him 'Kalo Biral'. Also what is the purpose of keeping him as a minister without port-folio?
 
On the other hand Syed Ashraf seldom speaks, he should be much more active as the General Secretary.
 
One of the big mistakes of AL government was to provoke Dt. Yunus. Though the goverment did not do anything illegal and also Dr. Yunus has abused his power to quite some extent, he has very powerful friends. Also perception is very important. For example he made some illiterate ladies the members of board of directors just so that they always support him, but this has been successfully portrayed as empowerment of women.
 
Another mistake is to send Hasan Mahmud to appease Hefajot. Instead they should not had been allowed to held the meeting in Shapla Chattar. Buijja (old in Chittagonian dialect) Shafi will never support AL, even if he did so, hefajotis/wahabis will never vote for AL. Putting your feet in two boats is very dangerous.
 
In my eyes, the biggest mistake was trying to re-convince World Bank to finance Padma Bridge after their first denial. It was a very bad advice by Mr. Muhit, there were powerful people behind this who wanted to teach AL a lesson, otherwise World Bank never pulls out on the ground of unproven allegation, specially if no money exchanged hands. If that much time was not wasted on trying to convince WB, by this time there would be at leat some pillars erected in the site of the bridge.
 
Anyway, I am not a political analyst, just writing this haphazard piece as on ordinary supporter, based completely on my personal observations.
 
AL needs well-targeted comunication and strong unity among its ranks and files. In-fighting is the biggest killer.
 
Hope my friend Anu reads it - he ignored my friend request in FB though :-)

BNP/Jamat has polluted political environment in Bangladesh with their falsehood and propaganda. Mr. Sajib Wazed Joy is a breath of fresh air in the pollution filled political environment in Bangladesh.
 
I think  Joy will be a good public communicator as her mother; he could be a role model for young politicians, if he can control himself. Usually, youth political stars become invincible too fast, and end up abusing their power of influence and ultimate become thugs in the end.  I hope - he will keep this mental image in the back of his mind, as well.
 
All he needs to do is - present government's achievements to the public in a layman language; he won't need to get involved in the dirty politics of falsehood and propaganda, like BNP/Jamat. That's a very good political condition to be in. So far I like what I see.

হাঁ,
বিএনপি –Jamat করলে বা BNP – Jamat কে সমর্থন করলে যে মিথ্যাচার করতে হয়, ভন্ডামী – প্রতারনা করতে হয়, ধোঁকাবাজ হতে হয় ---
যে যত মিথ্যাচার করতে পারবে সে তত বড় BNP নেতা হতে পারবে।
জেনে ও বা না জেনে ও বা ইচ্ছাকৃত ভাবে - নির্ধিধায়, অনরবরত - অসত্য, মিথ্যা-সত্য এর মিক্স বলায়, প্রচারে, জেনে শুনে ইতিহাস বিকৃতি, ভন্ডামীতে, প্রতারনাতে --বেগম খালেদা ও তার BNP-জামাত-রাজাকার ও তাদের বাচ্চা-আত্মীয়–সমর্থকরা ও তাদের বেশীর ভাগ নেতা-কর্মী-সমর্থকরা –
