[ALOCHONA] Re: Latest_Two More Blows To Sheikh Hasina



 

Respected Sufi (From Australia) Vai and Dear Nickson (from Oman),

 

Thanks for your valuable and rational inputs.

I was reading all these mails and I did not replied, as I do not reply to this "MA" (as it is useless and mere waste of your valuable time and energy). But finally I have to write this informative mail, for saving and utilizing your valuable energy, time and mental peace.

 

Do you know, to whom you are giving these precious inputs, facts and rational replies?

 

This "MA" (may have many other identity or birthday - like his leader Khaleda who had only FIVE birthdays) is a stupid RAZAKAR minded e-blogger having very little knowledge on political subject and matter!

 

Most of his inputs-replies are "full of lies" or "mix of lies and some truth" (to make it full fact).

 

Initially, like you, I also replied and finally got his real identity, then I challenged him on some occasions about his information and facts (!) - He used to provide in the mails. But unfortunately not a single challenge was logically replied and defended. In your this current thread also he added a 'new' false statement (about Bangabandhu) of Beer Shresta Capt Jahangir before his 'sahadat' in 1971.

 

How he will do?

Does he have that ability and capability and efficiency?

 

If wishes are horses, beggars could ride!

 

As this "MA" used to use some false or doubtful ID and name (MA or Anis or FA and many others ).

 

Few years back, Mr. Shamim Chowdhury, USA AL leader (from USA and his e-mail is veirsmill@yahoo.com) has challenged him and disclosed his different ugly faces, from his different statements and e-mails. If you need I can forward those mails, if required, but now a days I am a little bit busy with my job, so it may take some time.

 

What is his political background (present and in past)?

What is his educational background (present and in past)?

What is his social background (present and in past)?

What is his professional background?

What is job or profession?

 

He and anyone from the blogs have never given those information.

None from the blogs do not know him!

 

But many of us know you very well.

 

I know Engr. Khondakar Saleque Sufi Vai from my BUET life.

 

Other than a top meritorious student and a expert energy professional of Bangladesh,

·         He was a good sportsman in BUET

·         He was sports journalist also (I used to read in weekly Bichitra)

·         He was also a top grade student leader in BUET.

·         After graduating from BUET in 1977-78 he used to work in top position in prestigious gas organisations of Bangladesh government. His job was illegally terminated during last Jamat-BNP era by corrupt Mahmudur Rahman (though he was class friend and colleague of Sufi vai,  corrupt Mahmudur Rahman done that just from jealousy and due to inferiority complex of MR).

 

·         Then he shifted to Australia and got a nice job in Australia. He is also a part time UN energy consultant in Afghanistan.

 

·         He regularly writes columns on energy issues in many influential magazine of energy sector.

 

I also know this ither young Engineer Nickson also; he is managing a big construction organsiation in Oman. Earlier he was in Dubai.

 

On the other hand, that "MA",

  • We do not know what he is?
  • What is his political - educational – social- professional background? No 3rd person can proof those also!

 

 

But from the quality and standards of his inputs and postings - we can easily understand his real political - educational – social - professional background and caliber!

 

Sometime - he is a BNP activist (sometime against corrupt Tarek and sometime pro Tarek), sometime a NaPaki-Jamati activist, sometime an ex JSD activist, sometime a supporter of Iazauddin-Fakaruddin govt, sometime he says "he is an anti BAKSAL" (there was a fight between two, at one stage, one has asked the other, " what is you?", other replied – "I am a human" and asked the questioner, "what is your identity?", other replied, "as I am always against you, so I am an anti human").

 

But most of the time he is the 3rd tot of the goat (he has only that much ability or capability) – he cannot be in top!

 

So, do not respond to this "MA", it will be mere waste of your valuable time and energy.

 

Because, "KALAO   KOILA    HAZAR   BAR    DHUILEO    SADA    HOI    NA"

Dear Mr. Anwar,

Take my salam!

1st of all I don't know you but as long as I am receiving your mails i have decided to write few words about my feelings on your comment "BAKSHALI". Very frankly to say I did not see the liberation war, I did not see the bakshali period. As u r saying the prestnt perion of government is bakshali. In that regard I wish you should know as young generation what we understand about your word "BAKSHALI".

 

To us Bakshali means 

 

NO 21st August

No Bombing in Bangla new-year celebration

No Series Bomb Blast

No Suicide Bombing

No Bombing in Court

No Banglabhai

No howa Bhaban

No series rap in front of mother  

No killing for fertilizer

No 10 Truck arms

No ban For TV channel (ETV)

No  artho (money) pachar

No 5 birth date of a great leader

Full freedom in journalism

Full freeness on your speech

 

 

Would you tell me if a leader can't decide which one will be his / her birth date what else he / she can decide for us, I mean nation.

 

I don't think it is very hard to understand and I wish you will introduce some new innovative &creative idea to us for the betterment of our nation. Whatever we say about each other at the end the country is our and we have to build it up.

It really pains me to even respond to your mail. Yes I am Bangladeshi but not like you. Possibly you are not aware of my present or past. If you need to know me check me out in Google. Are you the agent of August 15 killers ? If you are dreaming that there will be another August 15 you can keep day dreaming that for ever.  Would like to know what you are doing and where you are ? If you want to know me ask your guru Engr Mahmudur Rahman the self styled Spokesman of the Religious fanatic .
We fought liberation war in 1971 in teens .I do not know where you were at that time . Are you awre of what is hhappening in London? Are you aware that British empire sucked Bengal before you Fucki Pakistanis? Please  see your face in your mirror before you talk about Bangabndhu.
This is my last mail to you . I will hate to respond to your irresponsible mail any more .

From your response I undestood that you are a kottor Bakshali, and I am a kottor anti-Baksali (I am proud to be a kottor anti-Baksali)but the reality you are a Bangali and I am a Bangladeshi.
Baksalis are always Baksali, they never change even after 15th August 1975. We might need another greater 'August revoultion of the mass' to change them forever.
If any magazines write good about your netri 'Bongobondhu Konnya Bharotbondhu Hasina  that's ok but if any international media criticise your Netri and her policy tha those me4dia becomes foreign agent or agent of reactioneries.
I know the tragic end of news of the world. The case between NOTW and Economist is totally different. In London or olsewhere you won't finf Jonokontho liuke Chatukar mediaq.
 
Thanks Again.

Mr Mohiuddin Anwar,
I do not know whether you know " The News Of the World" a famous English Media is closed for forgery and Yellow Journalism. Rupert Murdoch the media Icon had to beg excuse. The Economist may have same fate who knows ? What is your evidence that " The reporter of The Economist has not taken a bag full of cash from Beneficiary of Hawa Bhaban and prickly person like you is working as agent of Corrupt Khaleda Regime. You rather wait and see how the agents of War Criminals and Corrupt Hawa Bhaban regime are identified and thrown out.
Government of Bangladesh has already sent strong protest. They are aware that what to do and when to do.
BAL and Hasina Government still has massive popular support. The real face of Ugly Khaleda Regime is getting exposed . Only impudents like some persons are day dreaming.All the villagers and farmers who matters are in much better stead than before. No amount of Conspiracy can rock the government. If you have opportunity read E-Bangladesh on Google .
You are unfortunately those who have no self respect .That is why you are singing song of Khaleda Regime .Persons like you are unfortunately singing songs of Anti Indian fobia. I do not support some Government failures in controlling price of essentails and other issues and always suggest measures to overcome it . After all Bangladesh is our country , our nation . Whty your favorite BNP netree and her MPs do not raise issues in the parliament? Can you deny Hawa Bhabans excesses during 2002-2006? The fact that Conspiracy can never succeed will soon be proved and not your prickly pricks Mr Anwar. I hope you will try to make constructive criticism of the Government actions and not indulge in spreading venom aginst own nation.

Mr. Khandker Saleque,
 
Many thanks for yoiur criticism. rom you response i understand you are a supporter of Hasina regime. What Hasina is saying you are saying the same.
About receiving huge cash to win election was not my finding rather prestigous international weekly "Economist". They dont say anything without evidence I believ.
If Bharotbondhu Hasina adminsitration thinks that the Economosits report is wrong, they can sue the mkagazime for damaging her party image.
My question to Hasina Administration, why they are not following that process, instead  just opposing and denying the allegation.
I believ most Bangladeshis believs what Economist reported. Except some opportunist bhenificieries of Hasina regime.
Hasina regime took power with the hlp of Mohan Bharot and notorious Gen Moin almost gthree years before. Since than thar blaming the Khaleda led government for all misforune. khaleda is out of power for five yeats now. Why after five years blamimg Hasina ? Who will believ e instead of Hasina , Khaleda Zia should be blamed for Hasina's inability to improve Law and order, improve traffice Jam of Dhaka city, power/watrer/sewer outageand controlloing price of essential commodities  and other major issues facing the nation.
Don't blame her who left the government five years ago. Blame Hasina's ally notorious gen Moin and other conspirators and inefficient Ministers and ciurrent Prime Minister for national problems facing the nation now.
BAL took huge money will be proved with evidence in coming days. Just wait and see.
Lage Taka  Dibe Gouri Sen.  Do you know who is Gouri Sen ?
Econmist identified the Gouri Sen unfortunately.
 
Many Thanks.
M.A.

Mr Mohiuddin Anwar,
It seems that you have credible evidence of Hasina Government formed with Cash and support from India .Why do not produce the evidence to establish the allegation of "The Economist." I do not understand why on the basis of yellow journalism you are out to discredit an elected government . In 1971 when Pakistan was raping our mothers and sisters who gave you shelter? From 2002-2006 when ISI funded Terrorists were killing innocent people with Grenades where you had been?
Present government has initiated actions to try war criminals, try sponsors of terrorism and corruption. People who created fortune through corruption siphoned off huge money out of the country from 2002-2006 .This black money  may  now  be used to carry out ill motivated propaganda against our motherland with an ulterior motive to protect war criminals and Hawa Bhavan syndicate .
We know about the share market scam, price spirals of essentials , Power , energy and gas crisis. The government is not keeping its fingers crossed.It is trying .But energy sector management spoiled during Kahleda -Nijami rule is carrying out sabotage.
Mr M. A India surrounds us from three direction .It is now one of the booming economy in the world. Bangladesh can not afford hostile relation with them.We have to resolve all outstanding issues with them on the basis of sovereign equality.That is what is being done.
Say if tomorrow Myanmar attack Bangladesh where will your brother , father and mother take shelter.
I hope being an articulate person you have intellectual capability to interpret the chemistry of Indo Bangla relation . Do not try to undermine the Chastity of your motherland on the basis of yellow Journalism of some vested quarter.

Democratically elected government can become  autocratic, best example is pro-India Hasina regime who recieved enough cash and support from Bharotmata during the last general election.
Hasina government knew it very well if her party can't win next election, most leaders of Awami League including Bharotbondhu Hasina. Therefore  Hasina regime is trying to conduct next election under her administration so that administration can manipulate the election and confirm Hasina's win.
We all know India wants a pro-Indian government in Dhaka aslways so that they can dictate their term and exploit Bangladesh. Sheikh Hasina titled Bharotbondhu by Indian media is the best politician and BAL is the most suitable party to proptect India's interest. If needed India will spend billion to make sure that BAL wins the election.

Mr Anis,
What you want to prove.What % of Bangladeshis can read and will ever read these propaganda. Better watch your own face in your mirror. Hope you are performing your obligations. The million dollar propganda aginst democratically elected PM of Bangladesh can not harm her.Ok objective criticism is always welcome. But do not spread baseless propaganda . People here are more smarter than what you think.
