[ALOCHONA] Re: Badruddin Umar on court ruling on Humayun's novel

You nicely promote the concept that all great truths start as blasphemies. And yet you would like to dictate what is a blasphemy and what is not. I know intellectuals who believe Satanic Verses should be published, even if it were 10 times more challenging to the sensibilities of many. And yet these same intellectuals want Humayun to be censored. Are you one of these Bongu hypocrites posing as intellectuals?

Humayun should be a free man in a free country to write freely. If he is wrong then you are free to write against his book. But it is ridiculous for the Attorney General to take it upon himself to censor the books of writers. This Attorney General is chamcha and behaiya. Do you disagree? Are you aligning yourself with him?

Politics should has ruined every aspect of our national life. That is why every polititical committee has a 'cultural secretary'. It is a disgrace. Our culture is explouited for political purposes.

Humayun Ahmed should be free to write whatever he wants without the intervention of the state. And you should be free to write against him in disagreement.

But I should not complain too much. Humayun Ahmed can now bash the government and AL in a dozen different ways. 

The Attorney General is a politcial pimp who is himself politically pimped. Load of rubbish.

You can tell a lot about people when they side with this particular Attorney General.

Humayaun was not there at the killing spot and he did not witness that Mujib was begging for his life. That part of the story is pure fabrication and it should be omitted or corrected. The writer should have known better when he deals with historical topics.
