Speaking of good administration, that offered by Ershad was the best followed by Zia, Hasina and Shaikh. My gradation is essentially based on duration. Zia had an image of honesty, but he corrupted the system at it's root.

Agree with the first sentence but not with the rest. Zia as a military man grabbed the power illegitimately and hence, his rule will always be considered as an illegitimate one no matter how we try to portray him for the history. Zia was basically forced to legitimize himself with an election like many other dictators of that era. He was not an exception, period. With Zia calling for an election, it would be absurd to think that people had any real choice than electing him as the strongest man of the country. He created his own party and he invited other parties to get into the political arena- just to get more credibility for his own aim and ambition. He followed the cook book recipe. Had he not been killed, we might have known the man better and measured him more accurately. But that was not to be.-SD
Despite my cynicism, I would call him a good administrator. I can't say whether Zia would have become a true Jeffersonian democrat? Probably not!On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 5:02 PM, Tareque Ahmed <tareque7@gmail.com> wrote:Sooner AL stops idolizing one person/ one family the better for Bangladesh. AL and their allies should thank Zia for saving democracy in Bangladesh by introucing multi part democratic system. Its been seen time and again that the post liberation AL has never been a democratic party. In fact whenever they came to power they tried to destroy the practice of democracy by killing the independent media's, killing/ torturing opposiions etc. The way they operate has staking similarities with the totalirian states of Hitler's Nazi Germany and Mussolini's facist Italy.

When whole nation was in disarray and in panicky situation, Zia risked his and his family's life to safeguard the people and the country. Zia not only revolt against Pakistani military establishment he also declared the independent of Bangladesh.
His unit received the highest numbers of gallantry awards for heroic performances in the war. Ziaur Rahman himself won the distinguished and prestigious Bir Uttam medal is the second highest military award of Bangladesh.
The Awami League will do well in recognizing that the reality in Bangladesh politics has fundamentally altered after 1977 with Zia's entry in the political domain and state governance, and that the political dynamics are no longer confined to one party.

Zia
was the re-birth father of AL when Zia brought back AL after
all those killings, rape, looting & abductions of
BAKSHAL-1. The Rakkhi bahini leaders & killers like
Tofael are supposed to be in death row now instead of
a minister.
Zia/Nation made a mistake not trying the crimes of
BAKSAL & Rakkhi bahini during 72-75. This trial will
happen in futer in due time just as 'war-crime'
trial is happening.
AL
should bend down on both knees and thank Zia for giving it
2nd chance instead of death row. Just as AL is
ungrateful to Zia, it seems to be the nature of
AL to deny its father/husbad also as Joy Wajed/Sk Hayena
does not show up or pay tribute in his
father's/Husband's death anniversary because Wajed
Mia did not bring
any political/financial benefit for them.
