Immediately after the formation of the current Bangladesh government Selim started showing his real colours both inside and outside the parliament. He started by saying that Ziaur Rahman did not take part in the war of liberation. He compared Ziaur Rahman to a mad man. He told the Parliament that they did not take part in the war of liberation being urged by a pagol-chagol. He was ably supported by Sajeda Chowdhury, Faruk Khan, Showkat Ali, Motia Chowdhury, etc. As always Awami league believes that MIGHT is RIGHT.
>>>>>>>> This 'Crazy" statement does not take anything from one of the leaders of freedom movement--------- Ziaur Rahman. Not only he fought for his country, he lead the fighters from front and risked his life from the start. This statement by BAL leaders only shows how much hate they have for a decorated freedom fighter of our country.
We can all talk about policies of Ziaur Rahman took as leader of the country and one has every right to oppose some of his policies but ignoring Ziaur Rahman for our liberation movement shows how low we are "Able" to go in politics. I think even BAL leaders should have protested more clearly against this smear campaign. As I said we some of us may not like Ziaur Rahman as president of BD but we should be united in honorignt his courage and sacrifice for our country during "Muktijuddho". None of should 'Tolerate" such shameless distortion. That is the bottom line.....

The common citizens of Bangladesh are observing with horror the nefarious activities of Awami Leaguers at all levels. Their actions and words both inside the parliament and outside are raising alarms in the minds of the common citizens. Even some Awami league supporters are confessing that their leaders are doing excesses. They say that they are very scared now thinking of the future of the country.
Only the other day Sheikh Selim, a cousin Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina declared that Tarek Rahman will be arrested upon return to Bangladesh on murder charges. In his opinion Tarek Rahman was behind the killings on August 21, 2004 (in a public meeting attended by Hasina and other top ranking Awami league leaders). People tend to believe that Selim acts as a spokesperson of Hasina.
When Hasina says something in the parliament or in any public gathering it is repeated by Selim the next day. It happens the other way round too. In cases when Hasina does not want to utter filthy words Selim takes over.
Immediately after the formation of the current Bangladesh government Selim started showing his real colours both inside and outside the parliament. He started by saying that Ziaur Rahman did not take part in the war of liberation. He compared Ziaur Rahman to a mad man. He told the Parliament that they did not take part in the war of liberation being urged by a pagol-chagol. He was ably supported by Sajeda Chowdhury, Faruk Khan, Showkat Ali, Motia Chowdhury, etc. As always Awami league believes that MIGHT is RIGHT.
They do not have any sense of decency, any sense of accountability. They do not understand that their statements in the Parliament portray them as street children who follow the directives of their masters.
Then last month both Hasina and Selim said that they believe that Ziaur Rahman's body is not in the grave at the Zia Udyan. They challenged BNP to prove them wrong. Begum Khaleda Zia once said "I do not have the taste to respond to Hasina's statements". I think Khaleda Zia did the right this time as well. Why should she respond to such preposterous claims! But to show respect to the sentiments of millions of common Bangladeshi a widely circulated Bangla daily published a report on the burial of Ziaur Rahman's body (preceded by Janaza attended by lakhs of common Bangladeshi).
The report cited headlines from different daily newspapers published on the day of burial of Ziaur Rahman, the most honest politician this part of the world has seen. Even after that the AL leaders kept repeating the same words over and over again.
As always Awami league wants people to accept that truth is what Awami League thinks to be true. It was made clear by the actions of some AL members of Parliament a few nights ago: they displayed their true colours. I do not have the taste to dwell on this any more. Awami League is always the same - devoid of tolerance, hostile, violent and detests dissenting voice.
The activities of Awami League activists these days remind us of the dark days they had to endure during 1972-75 period. Only the principal actors are new.
