Some Background Material:
 

The Talented Dr. Richard Benkin

[Hat tip to Shafiur via his comment and another hat tip to Salam Dhaka and Shuchinta]
It turns out that Dr. Richard Benkin, the "reporter" who is the source of stories about Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury and Mr. Choudhury's supporter, is registered as a foreign lobbyist. However, if I asked you to guess which government he represented, you would probably be way off the mark.
On September 6, 2005 Dr. Richard Benkin registered as a foreign agent with the United States Department of Justice, under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), for the Government of Bangladesh. [Click here to see the registration document.] Given the kind of articles Dr. Benkin writes about Bangladesh, this revelation is rather shocking.
Dr. Benkin was hired to prepare and disseminate informational materials via radio or TV broadcasts, magazines or newspaper articles, letters or telegrams, press releases and the internet. He was hired to disseminate this information to public officials, civic groups or associations, legislators, newspapers and editors. According to the document filed with the US government, Dr. Benkin had already received $5000 from the Government of Bangladesh as payment for his services. He was to receive $5000 per month based on an oral agreement between Dr. Benkin and the Government of Bangladesh. According to the filing:
The Registrant agreed to provide Public Relations services to the Foreign Principal at a cost of $5000.00 per month, to be paid to the Registrant at the beginning of each month for services that month. There is no formal duration, but it is expected to last at least twelve months.
A month after Dr. Benkin filed his paperwork, the respected lobbying firms Ketchum Washington and The Washington Group also registered as foreign agents for the Government of Bangladesh to do public relations. [Clickhere to see Ketchum's registration and click here to see The Washington Group's registration.]
There is one significant difference between Dr. Benkin's lobbying and those of Ketchum and The Washington Group. While Ketchum and The Washington Group indicated in their filing that they would deal with the Bangladeshi Embassy in Washington via the ambassador, Shamsher M. Chowdhury, the filing by Dr. Benkin indicated that he would deal with Lutfuzzaman Babar, State Minister for Home Affairs in Bangladesh. The difference is significant.
As an aside, the reader will note that in the first email Rabbi Sue Levy sent me regarding Mr. Choudhury, sheaccused the Bangladesh Embassy in Washington of trying to discredit Mr. Choudhury.
It does seem unusual that Dr. Benkin would ink his deal with a Bangladeshi state minister involved with domestic law and order, rather than with the official representative of Bangladesh, that is the ambassador and the Embassy. Why the Bangladesh Embassy was sidestepped in a foreign lobbying effort is certainly food for thought. Further Mr. Babar is featured and cited in a large number of Dr. Benkin's "reports" about Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury - yet, Dr.Benkin never mentions that he is a paid consultant working for Mr. Babar. Mr. Babar was also featured in a glowing article dated June 15, 2006 entitled "Babar & His Magic Stick" in the Asian Tribune, Dr. Benkin's mouthpiece of choice. The article was written by a certain Christopher Giddings whose prose is decidedly Bangladeshi in tone, rather than one of a native english speaker.
Those familiar with Bangladesh will note that Mr. Babar is a young politician who gained a reputation for ruthlessness by creating the Rapid Action Battalian (RAB) in March 2004, a paramilitary force responsible for countless extra-judicial killings in Bangladesh. Those unfamiliar with RAB under Mr. Babar can get a sense of their modus operandi by reading the publication "Judge, Jury and Executioner" by Human Rights Watch.
The current interim government in Bangladesh is likely tightening the noose on Mr. Babar, now the former state minister, on alleged corruption charges. So far, anti-corruption forces have raided his home, and have arrested his personal secretary and his cousin on corruption charges.
I can see why Mr. Babar might want a personal PR man to defend his brand of human rights abuses - a lot of people have famously died in the "crossfire" as RAB hunted extremists and common criminals alike. However, Mr. Babar might have been running his own little fiefdom without official government sanction. It makes little sense that at the same time the Government of Bangladesh, through legitimate diplomatic channels, was enlisting the likes of Ketchum and The Washington Group, that a state minister in Bangladesh would hire a foreign lobbyist on his own. It also seems odd that he is repeatedly cited by Dr. Benkin in his "reports" that masquerade as news stories without mentioning that Dr. Benkin is on Mr. Babar's payroll. I am sure the anti-corruption authorities in Bangladesh will have a few questions.
There is a lot of reporting to be done here. I leave it to the reader and fellow Bangladeshi bloggers to fill in the blanks to paint the complete picture. Something smells, and it smells bad.
BONUS for Bangladeshi readers: Here is a glowing article about Tareque Rahman by the aforementioned Christopher Giddings in the Asian Tribune. For non-Bangladeshis, Tareque Rahman, the son of the previous prime minister, is known in Bangladesh as "Mr. Ten Percent" and he has just been arrested for massivecorruption. [FARA documents via Shuchinta]

Should begin this write up with two of the most significant incidents, where, for sure, political and diplomatic bankruptcy of the ruling Bangladesh Awami League has been completely exposed. At the same time, for some reason, policymakers in New Delhi are continuing to give an impression to people that the current government in Bangladesh is their own planted one.

Bangladesh high commissioner in New Delhi, Tariq Karim invited a few reporters from Indian media on February 7, 2012 and said, "Bangladesh may have foiled a coup by army officers aligned with the fundamentalist outfit Hizb ut Tahrir, but is worried about the entrenched presence of men and officers with radical religious views in armed forces. The coup, plotted to derail the trial of "war criminals" [those who had sided with Pakistani Army in the 1971 liberation war] and put a spanner in Sheikh Hasina-led government's efforts to strengthen ties with India, has alerted the authorities to a festering danger in its cantonments."

He explained, "As Bangladesh moves closer to election, the possibility of agent-provocateurs deliberately triggering incidents along the border cannot be ruled out."

Hasina's pro-India stance has dented her popularity at home. "Imagine if the present dispensation is replaced by a non-secular Islamist regime. Our borders are porous figure out the risks involved," said Karim.

If we will closely scrutinize the entire statement of the Bangladeshi envoy in New Delhi, it will be proved that, he has tried in his own way to frighten India about the consequence, if Awami League is out of power and he even reminds the Indian policymakers stating "Our borders are porous figure out the risks involved". It means, the envoy wants India to make sure, Sheikh Hasina's government continues in power as long as possible, not for the sake of Bangladesh's interest but for the sake of interest of India. Because, the envoy has categorically mentioned that Sheikh Hasina's pro-India stance has dented her popularity at home. So, in this case, how the envoy suggests continuation or re-electing of an unpopular party? Either through election manipulation or through undue Indian intervention! We all know, by now, comprehensive preparations have already been made with the technical support from an Indian IT firm to manufacture Electronic Voting Machine, which can be easily hacked and results manipulated.

On January 28, 2012, India Today magazine carried an article titled 'Dhaka Conspiracy', where it said, "In late December last year, a secret letter went from New Delhi to Dhaka. It was delivered directly to Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister of Bangladesh. It warned her that Islamist radicals embedded within the Bangladesh Army were planning a coup. Hasina had reason to fear coups."

In the same article India Today further said, "Along with the letter, India had worked out a contingency plan to evacuate the prime minister, her cabinet and key figures of her Awami League party in the event of a coup. There was a military plan as well. Indian helicopter gunships would be launched from two airbases in West Bengal and Tripura into Dhaka to provide air cover for the operation. Landing zones and evacuation sites were identified in and around the capital for the air corridor."

The India Today also commented on New Delhi's "help" during the February 25-26 massacre in 2009, where at least 73 army officers were brutally murdered. The newspaper said, "Hasina has been under threat since she swept to power in early 2009. More than 1,000 paramilitary border guards of Bangladesh Rifles, now renamed Border Guards Bangladesh, revolted against the military's hegemony over their institution. It was symptomatic of the unrest in the armed forces. India helped even then. Sources in the prime minister's office said that as soon as the mutiny broke out, India kept its special forces 50 Parachute Independent Brigade on standby to fly into Dhaka in case of an emergency. New Delhi's support for Hasina is clear. In her third stint as prime minister, Bangladesh has ceased to become a safe haven for militant groups operating in India."

In this article, India Today has raised several serious issues, which not only goes against the sovereignty of Bangladesh but also evidently proves that, the current government of Bangladesh Awami League is under constant directive and dictation as well as protection of New Delhi. The article has raised the following points:

1.It said, "Islamist radicals embedded within the Bangladesh Army", which once again shows to the world that, it is prime time for the global community especially the United Nations to actively consider if they would continue allowing members of Bangladesh Armed Forces in the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces [UNPF], as there might have already been "Islamist Agents" of Bangladesh Army mixing with the remaining members of UNPF. In that case, for sure, members of armed forces from Hizbut Tahrir's prime enemy United States, Israel and Arab countries are at huge risk.

2.The article confessed that the 'coup' was first invented by the Indian intelligence and according the Bangladesh government was briefed through a 'secret letter'. The article also comments "Hasina has reason to fear coups", where natural question may come in anyone's mind if New Delhi is cashing this 'fear' of Bangladeshi Prime Minister and continuing their actions against Bangladesh Army?

3.The article says, "India had worked out a contingency plan to evacuate the prime minister, her cabinet and key figures of her Awami League party in the event of a coup." What does this mean? Does it mean, that the Bangladeshi law enforcing agencies and the patriotic armed forces are ineligible in ensuring protection to Prime Minister and her cabinet members? Are they [the PM and her cabinet] enemies of the people?

4.The article said, "There was a military plan as well. Indian helicopter gunships would be launched from two airbases in West Bengal and Tripura into Dhaka to provide air cover for the operation. Landing zones and evacuation sites were identified in and around the capital for the air corridor." Does this mean, India was conspiring to launch an occupation attempt in Bangladesh and finally turn Bangladesh into another state of India and then plant their own government here?

5.It said, "New Delhi's support for Hasina is clear. In her third stint as prime minister, Bangladesh has ceased to become a safe haven for militant groups operating in India." Third stint? Everyone knows this is the second term for Sheikh Hasina to be the Prime Minister, and how calm the Indian newspaper considers it to be third term. Is that the ultimate game plan of New Delhi in keeping this government for the next term, if not eternally?

6.The India Today article said, "Bangladesh Rifles, now renamed Border Guards Bangladesh, revolted against the military's hegemony over their institution." Hegemony? Well, this clearly indicates that, India was behind the Bangladesh Riffle's massacre and it might have given instigation to the killers in taking revenge by murdering officers of Bangladesh Armed Forces and by humiliating their family members to stop "military's hegemony".

Neither Bangladesh mission in New Delhi nor the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dhaka reacted to any such comments or newspaper reports. It certainly shows that policymakers inside the ruling party were extremely delighted seeing such statements both from the Bangladeshi high commissioner as well as the Indian news magazine. And for sure, such silent endorsement to these extremely objectionable comments exhibit the political and diplomatic bankruptcy of the current government and their tendency of being delighted of getting labeled as Indian agents.

The current government has also seriously hurt the sentiment of the language movement and visibly showed total dishonor to the martyrs of this movement by hiring Indian artists such as Bappi Lahiri, Shan, Bipasa Basu, Malaika Arora Khan etc as well as their band of half nude Indian galls in singing Hindi songs and dancing with erotic moves openly in public with LIVE coverage of a local television channel. The entire show surely was a huge insult to the Bangladeshi people and their language movement. Critics say, while Pakistani leader Jinnah failed to enforce Urdu as the state language of the people of the then East Pakistan, now New Delhi's masters of the ruling party have been clearly successful in injecting Hindi right during the sacred month of language movement. I am sure, now those so-called social elites and cultural activists will not utter even a single word, simply because of the reason that, the show was participated by their "loving dolls" from India. Should any such event take place when Bangladesh Nationalist Party was in power, those activists as well as leaders of Bangladesh Awami League would have declared statement war against the government
