Re: [mukto-mona] Fwd: [notun_bangladesh] Minister Romesh Sen on Teesta waters



Please do not judge everybody with his religion. Many of them were/are much more patriotic than the Jamatis and BNP. I appeal to your good sense. One more thing: never have I said that Tipaimukh is good for Bangladesh. We need objective study of the project. Emotion or partisanism has be shunned. This is called patriotism. 


>>>>>>>>>> I agree. If someone feels our water resource minister Mr. Sen failed (It is a popular belief), we can criticize him. But saying just because he is a Hindu, he will ONLY protect India is not fair. Mr. Sen is a mild mannered gentleman. He was not in a position to pick the ministry he wanted (As far as I understand it). Yes, India may or may not influenced it, this is a guess only.

I think we can effectively praise or criticize any minister without getting into what religion (Or no religion!) he or she belonged to. I know it is a tall order considering the toxic culture of our sub-continent. However sooner or later, we have to make a solid attempt to be FAIR to all people (No matter what community she/he belongs to). If India or Pakistan don't want to change, let us start from this forum. Refrain (As much as possible) from linking religion with our position. Similarly if someone supports Islam that does NOT mean he/she automatically support violence or torture in the name of Islam or belongs to Pakistan.

At the end of the day, we belong to ONE country -----> Bangladesh. It is NOT Pakistan, it is NOT India. 

We have own our faults and shortcomings. We have to learn from mistakes from past and get out of the prison of history. It is a new day and I hope this post will inspire few members to make an honest attempt to respect all faiths and opinions.

None of us will live in this world forever but our words and actions will be remembered. I hope at the end I'll be able to say I made an attempt to make our country better than how I found it. If enough of us feels that way, SURELY we'll get a better Bangladesh when our children will take over this country.

Hatred based on religion is an OLD concept which is blindly supported by ignorant fools. We have to judge people by their action.


Lastly (To my Muslim brothers and sisters), our beloved messenger of Allah Muhammad (PBUH) was known as "Mercy to the worlds"{ Source: Qur'an 21:107}. It would be wonderful if those of us claim to follow him becomes a source of "Mercy and love" to people around us. It is the right thing to do and surely if you do it for the sake of Allah (SWT), He will shower his blessings on you.


O ye who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

[ Source: Al Qur'an 5:8]

Shalom!

Recently we have been reminded that Ziaur Rahman requested India to build Tipaimukh dam. What about that? Our FM has also found some thing positive in it. Why do you pick on a Hindu minister? Please come out of that narrow world. Looks like you are still visited by Pakistani ghosts. India and their agents are at the roots of all evils! One more thing: there is a limit on the number of technocrats you can have in the cabinet. What matters is leadership capab ility. Many successful ministers are not experts in their respective fields. Look at Motia Chowdhury. Please do not judge everybody with his religion. Many of them were/are much more patriotic than the Jamatis and BNP. I appeal to your good sense. One more thing: never have I said that Tipaimukh is good for Bangladesh. We need objective study of the project. Emotion or partisanism has be shunned. This is called patriotism.

Mr. Subimol,
 
As expected you supported  India's position as well as Sri Sen's position on Tipaimukh. Most Bangladeshis knew that,
Sri Sen will support or defend India's position and interest  on Tipaimukh Dam. My understanding is that it was a grave mistake by
Sheikh Hasin a to appoint a non-erxpert water resource Minister like Sri Sen who has zero knowledge about flood control.If he can't protect Bangladesh's national
interest he should have resigned from his Ministry as a faithful/patriotic Bangladeshi, He didn't do so nor will will do so.
Why he was  selected for this very important Ministry still a mystery to most observers. That's why this governments
critics like myself believe that Hasina's backer powerful Pronob Mukherjee might have recommended his name to India-friendly Hasina
and Hasina accepted that recommendation. If you donot believe this fact that's your choice.
Giving Gas to India was not comparable to accepting deadly Tipamukh. 
I still believe that  Sri Sen will protect India's interert not Bangladesh's.
It's unthinkable that , India-friendly Hasina administration will file a complain to UN or any International body.
We should not ex pect that from Bharotbondhu Hasina at least.

Mr. Anwar is asking if Ramesh Sen was the choice of Pranab Mukherjee! Did he ask similar question when one BNP minister (Saifur Rahman?) was eager to give gas to India? Has Sen said any thing unrealistic? The world politics is such that win-win situation is possible through good relations with the big neighor, not by showing animosity. Sen did not look happy when he said that being a country in downs tream, we have to accept terms even if we may not be hundred percent happy about it. Even going to international court may not be a good idea.
As rergards Tipai, it is still in a controversial stage. It should be explored with open mind. Narrow politics must not influence the decision. 
 

Sri Romesh Sen Minister for Bangladesh or India ?
Who rec himommended  to become water resource Minister of Bangladesh ?
Was He Hasina's choice or Pronobda's ?
Don't we have any flood control/water resouce expert in Awami League, who can direct this important Ministry to 
protect our national interest ?
Why Hasina depending on this inefficient Minister tro protect Bangladesh's national interest ?
