Mr. S A Hannan

 

When did Mujib provide amnesty to the war criminals? In what capacity?

Was there a gazette notification? Is the amnesty, a part of our

constitution?

 

Did Mujib had the constitutional authority to provide blanket amenesty

to the war criminals, or any criminal as a matter of fact, without going

through a process?

 

The Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) ATM Shamsul Huda is talking like

a politician on the issue of anti-liberation and anti-people activities of

Jamaat. Does he have a soft-corner for Jamaat? Is doing politics under

the cover of neutral election comission? [Think about the connotations of

his utturing ..."It was you [politicians]" etc. ...

 

What is he, a monarch?  a bureaucrat? a servant of the army? or a Public

servant?  As I understand that he is an appointed public servant for doing a

specific job - that is to conduct a fair election without any bias towards any

political party or a vested interest group like the so-called patriotic Army.

 

He has to look for the interest of the people only, not the interest of the

Army, bureaucracy or Jamaat-e-Islami.

 

Bangabir Kader Siddiqui has every right to demand banning

Jamaat and exclude it from contesting the election in any forum

he finds it appropriate. His heroic fight against the Pak Army

and it's proxy Jamaat-e-Islami is unparallel in the history of

our Liberation War.

 

On the other hand, Mr. SA Hannan, you are a life long

Jamaat-e-islami cadre. Can you deny it?

 

It is not surprising that you wil try to defend the Jamaat,

its cohorts and hidden supporters at every opportunity that

you get. See how skillfully you tried to  avoid mantioning Jamaat's

role in 1971?

 

In your own words:

 

" We are unable to understand the demand of a party KSJL

   which is hardly known beyond the district of its President

   Tangail  demanding banning of a national party Jamaate

   Islami  who are  working in the country since  1955 except for

   a short period  between 1972-75."

 

Did you forget Jamaat's role in 1971?

 

As a Pakistan Government's employee, what did you personally 

do in 1971? Help Jamaat and it's paramilitary wing Al-badar

to keep your beloved Islamic Republic of Pakistan  intact?

 

Have you ever deplored your past roles and ever aplogized for

your and your party's [Jamaati's] anti-people role in the name

of Islam?

 

BTW, do you still approve Jamaat's opportunistic role as a

partner-in-crime during Jote Sarker?

 

 

So long & Thanks

 

Syed Aslam

A Party Out To Divert Attention    News papers have reported that the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) ATM Shamsul Huda on Monday  said although war criminals should have been tried immediately after the country's independence, all the successive governments refrained from putting the anti-liberation forces on trial. Responding to a proposal for banning Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh from carrying out its political activities including its right to contest in parliamentary elections, the CEC said Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman provided amnesty to war criminals, but he also said people who had specific charges against them were not eligible for the amnesty. "It was you [politicians], who made anti-liberation leader Shah Azizur Rahman the prime minister after 1975. Anti-liberation people were made ministers of the immediate past government. Now how we are to go ahead disqualifying them from contesting in the polls?" the CEC asked. "Give us a mechanism, give us a proposal for approaching the matter," Huda said while holding a dialogue with Krishak Sramik Janata League (KSJL) on electoral reforms in the EC Secretariat conference room.   We are unable to understand the demand of a party KSJL  which is hardly known beyond the district of its President Tangail demanding banning of a national party Jamaate Islami  who are working in the country since  1955 except for a short period between 1972-75. The election commission is not the forum for such demand unless it is for senselisation and drawing attention of electronic media which normally  they do not get. They should have gone to the Supreme Court to question the constitutionality of the Jamaate islami.The party has raised all sorts of allegations against this national party in a forum which is to conduct election, not judge the history of the parties .The leader of the party says that Jamaate islami was an agent of British colonialism which we have not read any where in any book of political history of the sub-continent.It seems that some politicians will never learn even after what have happened to the politicians in the last nine months.We deplore this de-meaning of politics. .
