Political Culture Declining Further in Bangladesh :AL Accuses Khaleda  Zia  Of Conspiracy

National dailies have reported that senior Awami League lawmakers on Thursday accused the opposition leader Khaleda Zia of being a party to the conspiracy behind the October 21 bomb attack on AL lawmaker Fazle Noor Taposh. They termed the attack a deep-rooted conspiracy against the country's independence, parliament and democracy. They also pointed out it had occurred at a time when the trial of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's killers was at the final leg and when the government had initiated moves to try war crimes and perpetrators of the grenade attack on Sheikh Hasina in 2004. The treasury benchers also asked the government to form a high-powered investigation committee to find out the conspirators who are beneficiaries of Sheikh Mujib's murder. The conspirators have got united and the attack on Taposh was aimed at destabilising the democratic process, they added.
   Suranjit Sengupta called on the government to issue a statement on the attack to keep the nation abreast of the latest information.'This attack is not merely on Taposh. It is an attack on democracy, constitution, independence and parliament,' he said, blaming the forces who acted against the country's independence and their collaborators for the attack.Sheikh Selim  castigated Khaleda Zia for not condemning the attack on Taposh and accused her of being part of the conspiracy. 'Why did not she issue a statement? She must be part of the conspiracy,' he fulminated, adding that the opposition party has been making underhand efforts to grab state power illegally by misleading the countrymen with false statements. The deputy leader of the house, Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury, suggested that the speaker fix a date for general discussion after consulting the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina. The deputy speaker, however, proposed it should be held on Monday.

 

We are at a loss to see such fulmination against Khalida Zia, a former Prime Minister.Bomb blasts are almost routine in Bangladesh and for that to blame a former Prime Minister as a part of conspiracy shows total loss of political decorum.Bangladesh is losing all sense of political propriety and law and order is at stake.

 

We have seen how daughter of an accused in Sheikh Mujibur Rahman assassination case has been remanded for five days with her one year old child.We have also seen how all relations of the accused in the case are being arrested and taken on remand.We have also seen how a remand matter of an ex- minister ( who was shown as arrested in an old case only two days back) has  moved to Appelate Division so fast  .It is the talk of the town that Attorney General has said in this case ( when pointed out that the ex-minister is very sick and can not walk ) that case can be filed if he dies in remand in the custody of the police. The government is following vendetta and in future any possibility of rapproacment is receding. Bad days ahead for Bangladesh.
