[ALOCHONA] Re: Khaleda_ Delwar Must change their vindictive attitude

Dear Mahathir

It doesn't matter what I think but even then I will tell you that your sincerity and passion is plain to see. The point is that passion and sincerity are not enough as they alone are not effective. Passion and sincerity need definition, direction and a destination.

If your party, or your personal resources, do not empower you to be a real change agent then you have 3 choices: 1. quit caring (physically impossible for people like you or me) 2. protect the status quo (I'd rather die before teaching my son that) 3. protest (in the name of every child who died in '71).

Enough have quit.
Enough are with the status quo.
Not enough are protesting.

Nurul Kabir, whom you quote, needs you more than Khaleda needs you. Join him and stand up for what is true even if the truth does not always serve AL or BNP. Join him and fight injustice even if injustice sometimes defines AL and BNP.

Support BNP loudly.
But protest injustice with BNP.
Demand reform within BNP.
Fight for talent and brilliance within BNP.
Complain about stupidity within BNP.
Build a future that gives your children a chance to lead our country.

How many Bangladeshis have to die on our highways since 1971 before Bangladeshis demand a proper highway police force? Give me a number brother? Give me a number.

Try to give me a number.

In Bangladesh most people who are in a position to change public opinion in a nation defined at birth by illiteracy and povery, end up protecting the status quo. If today's political establishment, appointed by the public to bring reform and change, does not worry about your message then you are making a mistake.

And people like you and me - we are the last to die for our mistakes. Instead children burn in Old Dhaka.

Facebook is open again I heard. Write to Khaleda and let us know what changes she will make because of your words. Or you could contact her the old fashioned, tried and tested, efficient and Bangladeshi way....

Take 2 lakh cash to Harris Chowdhury.

I wish he, and his like, are the first to burn for their mistakes.

> We think the whole world lives in the same political gutter that we live in. We have no concept of time. We think we will never die and that our land will be the last one to fall on Judgement Day. This is why we do not understand the importance of time. And so educated Bangladeshis are quite happy to say that our condition is the best we can possibly expect, that our condition is both normal and natural - and that we can afford to wait for another several decades before we reach a half decent condition. So it is that democratic reform, intellectual enlightenment, civil rights and the enfranchisement of the citizen can just wait. And wait. And wait.

> Look. You can't use 'typical narrative' with me - it just won't work. I suggest you are hypocritcial in your complaints about the CTG. You think (and you are not alone) that there was no alternative in 1975 but to kill Mujib. You think there was no alternative but for the military rule of Zia. You think that it there was no alternative but for the opposition to AL to unite under a general. What is so democratic about such thoughts? Similarly there were many who thought there was no alternative on 1/10 but to go ahead with the CTG's agenda on 1/11.
> And what do you mean by 'until a better leader comes along'? Better leaders are not allowed by either Hasina or Khaleda, AL or BNP. You want to wait - well, I think you only want to wait till Tareq comes along. He will slip into position - just because he is the son - and you will say lets keep him until a better leader comes along. And then his daughter may come and you will say the same thing.

Because everyone amongst 150 million poeple is willing to wait a few more decades before cadres of a ruling party stop rape and murder?

They shouldn't say like that they would make BAL leaders to run in the corridor of court by suing them and winter of Mag would also come for BAL leaders. Firstly, because we want get rid of the vicious cycle of vindictive politics. Secondly, such statement will increase BAL's atrocity. They will think whatever happens later, they will see. Now they will try to torture BNP and itÃÆ'¢â‚¬â„¢s supporters to such a level that BNP does not have the ability to take revenge.

They will take law at their hand, this will badly damage the image of newly formed govt and anti BNP media like Prothom-alo, will high light it very badly though Alo didnÃÆ'¢â‚¬â„¢t mention the political identity of rapist who raped mother and daughter on the previous night of Vola-3 by election as they were workers and leaders of BAL.

For example, BNP leaders should not use the ambigous world like "selling of the country". rather they should use very specific world such as "sacrificying the interest of the country" so that BAL propaganda mechine can not interpret it differently and raise question about it . BNP can use council of advisers to Khaleda zia for forming such group.

Unless and untill attitude and behaviour of party workers and supporters change, violence and tender snatching , torture on women will not be reduced by administrative measures. The sooner our leaders understand that, the beterr is it for our Country and nation.
