Dr. Jiten Roy has asked very serious questions in the last para of his post. One reason is that some people cannot forget the pain that the separation of Bangladesh inflicted on them in 1971. Many of them still believe that Pakistan is a greater friend of Bangladesh than India. Some of them believe that India is nothing but an enemy country.
There are more reasons though.

While reading Jafar Iqbal's emotional writing, I was trying to understand why and how so many "professional" intellectuals in Bangladesh can change their views so quickly, so easily, and go against Sheikh Hashina at the time when Bangladesh has opened the second phase of liberation war, in which - country is engaged in bringing justice to those criminals, who have taken part in the genocide during the liberation of Bangladesh. Shouldn't they forget petty issues and get united behind Awami League now? Instead, they have been trying to pour fuel in the fire to make this process even more difficult to accomplish. Why is that? Why?Like Jaffor Iqbal, I asked myself many times – why do professional intellectuals blame government when BNP/Jamat cadres kill people, burn houses, businesses, and properties? Why do they blame government for the crimes of BNP/Jamat? Why are so many people shading tears for Kader Molla, the butcher of Mirpur, who has been recognized by Pakistani government as one of their collaborators? Why do they still cast doubt about the justice of Kader Molla? I find no answers to so many of these questions.Jiten Roy
