[chottala.com] Re: [khabor.com] Reasons for banning all political party including Jamat Dr. Jaffor Ullah nullifies the Islamist propaganda article in Nayadigonta

Not only Jamat all  present political party in Bangladesh should be banned & CTG should revive BAKSAL which was formed by the father of the nation after dissolving all political party or CTG should form a new political party in the name "BANGLADESH POLITICAL PARTY" in concept of BAKSAL & all news papers should be controlled or checked  by the legal authority for checking whether real news are publishing by the papers as news circulation or are making news by the papers for creating trouble issues in the country.

Here is a reason for which CTG can justify banning Jamat-e-Islami
The corrupt politics of the two main parties and the hollowness in the personalities of the leaders (leftists or center) - these were the lifeline and these still are the life-blood for the politics of Jamat. Moreover, our two national fools - Dr. K. and Dr. B. brought in the two ladies from their 'heshel' to lead their respective parties, in the name of unity and eventually to destroy what was still left of politics in Bangladesh. Although, the two ladies are paying the prices, punishing the people who surrounded them is more needed. The cunning Go.A. and his party has so far maximized their political gain from this political hodgepodge because of these big mistakes perpetrated by our national leaders, their corrupt character or for the lack of strength in their statesman approach to leadership.Its time to think about possible correction.
So what? Somebody has taken advantage of the situation prevalent in the environment. At least, Go.A. and his party knew how to read the environment and make use of it, isn't it? Now that those fools and stupids are realizing that they have nothing to be proud of, they have achieved very little and many of them are lining up to prepare themselves in jails, they are doing their last thing - express their hate towards the party of Go.A. on the basis of something which they could not do or at the least, did not think doable. Now, they are demanding this out of CTG, with the hope (in their heart) to belittle this fledgling government - to create pressure on the CTG to get out of corruption fight prematurely or at least, to save their faces. What more harm can you do, dear politicians? Can't you just say "Dhoroni Dhidha Hou"!! and leave us, the people, alone?
Moreover, the basis or logic on which many of these stupids are writing their tune, is a faulty one. What do you do - if the younger generation leadership within that party - who probably have nothing wrong to do during 1971, if they sideline all the senior party leaders (say, who are above 45 years of age) from leadership? At least, they do not have to get their leaders ordered out of mother's womb! They practice democracy - whatever the word 'democracy' mean to them. But they don't order their leaders from a certain factory, they create their own leaders, isn't it? But lets not go there for today, lets focus on the topic.
We would imagine, there are many in line who can take over and will take over from those who allegedly did wrong during 1971. This particular allegation is confusing to the new generation people (at least to many of them who likes to think themselves as rational and open minded). Because nobody thought of filing cases against them, let alone arresting them during last 36 years. Well, except only Jahanara Imam's Gono-Adalot. Many of the nation participated in that practice and the verdict of that trial is declared already. That court is given its verdict and it is a close deal as far as that particular court is concerned. But that form of justice is supposed to inform the public - which it did successfully - to some extant.
 
Coming back to the issue - so, is there anything to do for the CTG about this issue? Or rather, could there be a ground or justification for the CTG to consider action against Jamat? Let us analyze. And it seems yes, only after, if the leadership in CTG thinks the govt. has been successful to cut the bloodline for the Jamatis or for that matter, the bloodline for any fundamentalist politics. Once that is done, action can be two-fold. State can take a legal position against these culprit - if there is a legal ground (ICC comes to mind), and also, the State can take a moral position on this matter - that has to be clearly positioned and succinctly articulated. Not like some of those Zillul / Menon / Inu type politicians would like it to be articulated.
 
How should CTG decide that it has done enough to cut the bloodline for the Jamati-type politics? Here is a benchmark. Out of the 222 listed, there should be at least 100 hard-core corrupt who would not accept the responsibility and wouldn't plea guilty. But there would be another hundred or so, who would like to plead guilty and want to cooperate with the government - in return of a peaceful private (not public) life with less punishment. Government should use those hundred or so to get others who were not listed or could not be listed. Those others will be implicated by these hundred pleading guilty. On the average if one corrupt gives enough information to get another 10 fishes.... that gives the government about 1000 new corrupts to work with. Again among those 1000 new, they will probably eventually find about 500 hardcore corrupts who should be sent behind bar for at least 15 years each or for life. Also, if the ACC takes its time to continue this kind of work in a iterative way - that should make sure that Bangladesh would come out of vicious cycle of corruption on the national scale - in a few years time. But is ACC to completely equipped yet for that kind of work? No, we do not think so. Government should take RAB - detach it from regular police force - and attach it with the ACC permanently. RAB should become the action arm of ACC - the size of RAB should be smaller in size but flexible in that the ACC Chairman can co-opt any number of members temporarily from various government agencies (NBR, BoI, Army, Police, Navy, BCS, etc) or private companies or NGOs as needed basis. It will be a true reflection of its name - RAP ACTION BATTALION.
Anyways, coming back to the topic - once that is done, govt should have a reasonable comfort that the bloodline of Jamat has been cut off. Now, dealing with the fundamentalists will be a one time job. If the aforementioned thing is not done first, the dealing with the fundamentalists will not be a one time job, rather targeting the Jamatis will enhance their popularity - since they might be seen as victimized and get popularity since the general people dis-like other corrupts even more. Moreover, you have to take into consideration that the population are poor and lacks proper eduction. But if we have blown off the corrupts from the major parties and from the bureaucracy, and also placed a mechanism that this cleansing up will continue to make sure that things will not reverse, rather things should improve over time. That would make sure that anti-Jamat action would not backfire.
So, let us assume every pre-condition has been achieved. Now, what the CTG can do?
Going back to our allegation of AL/BNP that they could not or did not go after Jamat - CTG should ask the same question themselves. If they could not go after Jamat, why? (A) Was it lack of competence or (B) Was it lack of political will? or (C) Was it because there is not a case, actually? or (D) Is it the other case - AL/BNP did not go after Jamat even though they could go after them?
Out of these four options, only if (C) is found to be true, CTG can avoid the duty of going after Jamat. We are not sure, what CTG can do in that case. But, if it was the case of either (A) or (B) or (D) - which our so called politicians should clarify - the CTG can not avoid the responsibility of doing something about Jamat. They should and we think, they would do something when the time is proper. But that process should start with a dialogue with all the traditional party leaders articulating their reason for not doing anything so far. That should be made public. Once a consensus is reached about the reason - articulated by the political leaders, the eradication of fundamentalist politics from Bangladesh would be a matter of time. And the CTG can at least initiate the task, if not complete it, given the time crunch that it has. Or may be, it can ask for more time to complete this additional job, after completing the jobs at hand.
If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the members of CTG, leaders of the political parties and activists, members of the civil soceity and legal organizations, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.
Thanks for your time,

This is the kind of article for which we started this column. Because of ongoing mess, a gift from our older generation, we often get diverted. Now that it seems some sanity is returning in Bangladesh, we would try to go back to our original plan.

Re: [chottala.com] CTG - tottaly failed ,even in anti-corruption drive .

Mr. Sobhan, i have given answer  below read them in red letter


Mohammad Sobhan <sobhanma_asme@yahoo.com> wrote:
Dear All

I would like to draw your kind attention on the
opinion of an e-mail by Mohatir of bd dated 27th
September Thursday on

[chottala.com] CTG - tottaly failed ,even in
anti-corruption drive .

CTG, once popular and supported by majority of
Bangladeshi, has totally failed.

My opinion is

The present Care taker Government is in power for
about 9 (nine ) months. The writer of this e-mail :

Mahathir of bd" wouldbemahathirofbd@yahoo.com

Should realize the progress made by CTG for the past
nine months is much more than the corruption made by
the previous governments for the past 34 years. There
was none killed by the rival political parties in the
street for the past 9 (nine ) months. Nobody even
danced on the dead body.
### Nobody danced on dead body in the  4 year  11 month of BNP rule.  No body has not danced in the last 9 month, does not exclude  future probability.
 
 
 
This is one of the most
measuring achievement (rather than zero) by the
previous governments. He (Mahathir of bd) seems to be
a supporter of Mr. Ershad who is the killer of
democracy in Bangladesh .
###  as  you consider me   wrongly as a supporter  of H. M. Ersdad,  similarly you are interpreting many thing  wrongly in favor of  CTG.
( see my mail:  King of corruption is not in the last list: mockery with people in the name of anticorruption drive ; it will make you ashamed how wrongly you have made me supporter of bishwa behaya ershad)
 Why your angel CTG is not taking , even asking  wealth statement from him?
 
 
 He could make Bangladesh a
very prosperous country. The CTG made a big favor
not to try him to kill democracy in Bangladesh.
Somebody blames him to be the killer of Gen. Zia.
even. The CTG achievement is much higher than the
mahator of bd thinks. He must compare the 34 years
with present 9 months progress in his scale of
calculation.

H.M.Ershad could remain in the heart of all
Bangladeshi as the great man in our history. He could
at least invest some of his corruption & ill-gotten
money to improve Bangladesh communication rather he
was after many women.

We should support the present CTG and advise them
positively as they have little experience in running a
government. Finally our hope to win this war against
all corruption.
### Anti-corruption drive is about to finish.  you are dreaming wrongly as you made me suopporter of ershad.
 
 Please be positive and make
constructive suggestions to improve our country for
our future generation.
###  i am positive  enough .   what i wrote in my mails are " description, not prescription", description of the failures of CTG.
 
 Many experienced  editors, columnists and  econimist and political scientists  were giving constructive suggestions from the beginiing. But you CTg is not able to read them
 if they have failed as i have not given suggesstion, then i am really very very very much sorry
 you should have inform me earlier that The CTG can not succeed without my suggessions.
 
 

******************************************************
Dear all

CTG, once popular and supported by majority of
bangladeshi, has totally failed.

Do you accept the above comments ?

It is not wise to say total failure just even less
than a year of CTG. How can one judge to clear mess of
35 years within 6 months. Time will tell failure or
success for CTG. We should be constructive with our
suggesstions. The previous politicians did all mess
and some of the citizens (Less than 1 % ) support
them. It must not be termed as failure rather success.
Majority people like the corruption clean up project
of CTG.

The minus two formula will pay off eventually in
future as they are the root of all evils. The law of
the land must decide their destiny. No body is above
law which is the acceptable truth for all of us.

============ ========= ========= ========= =========

We must try to help our present Care Taker Government
with positive and constructive suggestions.

22nd September 2007

Sub: "When we pull our ear head automatically comes"

Ref: Communication throughout Bangladesh should be
number (1) one Priority.

Dear All

Assalamo alikum.

I would like to see Bangladesh a prosperous Country
like Canada. It will be possible if we can get rid of
politics from educational institutions, Government and
private offices. There is no need of BNP or Awami
League - Canada, North America or USA. If anyone from
outside Bangladesh would like to join politics he or
she must be in Bangladesh to practice politics.

We must put emphasis on all communication (Road, Air,
Sea or Telecommunication. All sorts of communication
are vital to the development of Bangladesh.
Electricity is one of the main obstacles to our
improvement. The present Government (99% support from
us all and less than 1% opposes) should encourage to
generate electricity and also to subsidies so as to
encourage establishment of electricity generation.
Government should also allow tax brake who will
produce electricity and other developmental
industries. Alternate source of power generation such
as Solar, Wind, Bio, Wave, Tidal, Hydrogen etc must
get priority and tax brake. We should also consider
Nuclear power generation.

We know that the US and Canada built Roads and
Highways on emergency basis immediately after the
second World in 1945. They are maintaining that roads
now. Our success depends on our better communication
throughout Bangladesh in all respects.

All educational institutions must get free or
subsidized internet connection for educational purpose
only.

Time will tell when to hold election and hand over
power to the lawmakers again. We suffered 35 years and
no more sufferings. Enough is enough. The caretaker
government should continue with their remarkable
cleanup and various developmental works.

The Punishment for the corrupt people within law &
justice is also equally important. We must remember
the government for their positive action regardless of
top or small leaders of Awami league, BNP or other
million parties.

We will remember the present government and ALLAH
SUBHANU TAALA WILL REWARD THEM INSHALLAH IF THEY ARE
IMPARTIAL for their jobs well-done.

We believe that the present caretaker government has
dedicated people for the development of Bangladesh.
Corruption and law less ness are the main obstacles.
They have our whole hearted support. They should do
their best to reach the goal but definitely not 35
years. Allah helps those who help themselves.

I will be glad to get any positive comments please.

Again among those 1000 new, they will probably eventually find about 500 hardcore corrupts who should be sent behind bar for at least 15 years each or for life. Also, if the ACC takes its time to continue this kind of work in a iterative way - that should make sure that Bangladesh would come out of vicious cycle of corruption on the national scale - in a few years time. But is ACC to completely equipped yet for that kind of work? No, we do not think so. Government should take RAB - detach it from regular police force - and attach it with the ACC permanently. RAB should become the action arm of ACC - the size of RAB should be smaller in size but flexible in that the ACC Chairman can co-opt any number of members temporarily from various government agencies (NBR, BoI, Army, Police, Navy, BCS, etc) or private companies or NGOs as needed basis. It will be a true reflection of its name - RAP ACTION BATTALION.
Anyways, coming back to the topic - once that is done, govt should have a reasonable comfort that the bloodline of Jamat has been cut off. Now, dealing with the fundamentalists will be a one time job. If the aforementioned thing is not done first, the dealing with the fundamentalists will not be a one time job, rather targeting the Jamatis will enhance their popularity - since they might be seen as victimized and get popularity since the general people dis-like other corrupts even more. Moreover, you have to take into consideration that the population are poor and lacks proper eduction. But if we have blown off the corrupts from the major parties and from the bureaucracy, and also placed a mechanism that this cleansing up will continue to make sure that things will not reverse, rather things should improve over time. That would make sure that anti-Jamat action would not backfire.
So, let us assume every pre-condition has been achieved. Now, what the CTG can do?
Going back to our allegation of AL/BNP that they could not or did not go after Jamat - CTG should ask the same question themselves. If they could not go after Jamat, why? (A) Was it lack of competence or (B) Was it lack of political will? or (C) Was it because there is not a case, actually? or (D) Is it the other case - AL/BNP did not go after Jamat even though they could go after them?
Out of these four options, only if (C) is found to be true, CTG can avoid the duty of going after Jamat. We are not sure, what CTG can do in that case. But, if it was the case of either (A) or (B) or (D) - which our so called politicians should clarify - the CTG can not avoid the responsibility of doing something about Jamat. They should and we think, they would do something when the time is proper. But that process should start with a dialogue with all the traditional party leaders articulating their reason for not doing anything so far. That should be made public. Once a consensus is reached about the reason - articulated by the political leaders, the eradication of fundamentalist politics from Bangladesh would be a matter of time. And the CTG can at least initiate the task, if not complete it, given the time crunch that it has. Or may be, it can ask for more time to complete this additional job, after completing the jobs at hand.
If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the members of CTG, leaders of the political parties and activists, members of the civil soceity and legal organizations, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.
Thanks for your time,

[chottala.com] The secret behind 9/11, The Prediction in the QURAN

Dear Moderator,
The following sent to me by one of my friend. I am sending for all the chottala readers.
 
Dr. Siraj uddowllah, Windsor, Canada. 
 
 
The Secret behind the number 11 - Pretty Chilling  

Read to the bottom.  Try it out.  I did and I got goose bumps


If you are a sceptical person - still read on as it's actually very interesting!!



This is actually really freaky!! (Mainly the end part, but read it first)
1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb has 11 letters
. (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in  1993)
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.
 





This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets
interesting:
1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65
  passengers. 6+5 = 11
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 =11
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.


   
9 +  1 + 1 = 11


Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make


up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254.
 

 
 2 +  5 + 4 = 11.
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.  


 
 Again 2 + 5 + 4 =  11.
3) The Madrid
  bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.



Now this is where things get totally eerie:
 



The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Koran, the Islamic holy book:



"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The
wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah while some
of the people trembled in despair
still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the
Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."
 


That verse is number 9.11 of the Koran.
Unconvinced about all of this Still ..?!
 



Try this and see how you feel
  afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:  


Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS
1
 What do you think now?!!


Send this to as many people as you know and in 11 minutes you will get a
nice surprise, if you don't you will get the shock of your life in 11 min.

Re: [chottala.com] CTG - tottaly failed ,even in anti-corruption drive .

Dear Mr. Sobhan,
Your opinion is 100% correct.
Thanks for your nice mail.

Subject: Re: [chottala.com] CTG - tottaly failed ,even in anti-corruption drive .

Dear All

I would like to draw your kind attention on the
opinion of an e-mail by Mohatir of bd dated 27th
September Thursday on

[chottala.com] CTG - tottaly failed ,even in
anti-corruption drive .

CTG, once popular and supported by majority of
Bangladeshi, has totally failed.

My opinion is

The present Care taker Government is in power for
about 9 (nine ) months. The writer of this e-mail :

Mahathir of bd" wouldbemahathirofbd@yahoo.com

Should realize the progress made by CTG for the past
nine months is much more than the corruption made by
the previous governments for the past 34 years.
There
was none killed by the rival political parties in the
street for the past 9 (nine ) months. Nobody even
danced on the dead body.
This is one of the most
measuring achievement (rather than zero) by the
previous governments. He (Mahathir of bd) seems to be
a supporter of Mr. Ershad who is the killer of
democracy in Bangladesh .
He could make Bangladesh a
very prosperous country. The CTG made a big favor
not to try him to kill democracy in Bangladesh.
Somebody blames him to be the killer of Gen. Zia.
even. The CTG achievement is much higher than the
mahator of bd thinks. He must compare the 34 years
with present 9 months progress in his scale of
calculation.

H.M.Ershad could remain in the heart of all
Bangladeshi as the great man in our history. He could
at least invest some of his corruption & ill-gotten
money to improve Bangladesh communication rather he
was after many women.

We should support the present CTG and advise them
positively as they have little experience in running a
government. Finally our hope to win this war against
all corruption. Please be positive and make
constructive suggestions to improve our country for
our future generation.

******************************************************
Dear all

CTG, once popular and supported by majority of
bangladeshi, has totally failed.

Do you accept the above comments ?

It is not wise to say total failure just even less
than a year of CTG. How can one judge to clear mess of
35 years within 6 months. Time will tell failure or
success for CTG. We should be constructive with our
suggesstions. The previous politicians did all mess
and some of the citizens (Less than 1 % ) support
them. It must not be termed as failure rather success.
Majority people like the corruption clean up project
of CTG.

The minus two formula will pay off eventually in
future as they are the root of all evils. The law of
the land must decide their destiny. No body is above
law which is the acceptable truth for all of us.

============ ========= ========= ========= =========
======

We must try to help our present Care Taker Government
with positive and constructive suggestions.

I have earlier suggested and would like your
impartial opinion.

22nd September 2007

Sub: "When we pull our ear head automatically comes"

Ref: Communication throughout Bangladesh should be
number (1) one Priority.

Dear All

Assalamo alikum.

I would like to see Bangladesh a prosperous Country
like Canada. It will be possible if we can get rid of
politics from educational institutions, Government and
private offices. There is no need of BNP or Awami
League - Canada, North America or USA. If anyone from
outside Bangladesh would like to join politics he or
she must be in Bangladesh to practice politics.

We must put emphasis on all communication (Road, Air,
Sea or Telecommunication. All sorts of communication
are vital to the development of Bangladesh.
Electricity is one of the main obstacles to our
improvement. The present Government (99% support from
us all and less than 1% opposes) should encourage to
generate electricity and also to subsidies so as to
encourage establishment of electricity generation.
Government should also allow tax brake who will
produce electricity and other developmental
industries. Alternate source of power generation such
as Solar, Wind, Bio, Wave, Tidal, Hydrogen etc must
get priority and tax brake. We should also consider
Nuclear power generation.

We know that the US and Canada built Roads and
Highways on emergency basis immediately after the
second World in 1945. They are maintaining that roads
now. Our success depends on our better communication
throughout Bangladesh in all respects.

All educational institutions must get free or
subsidized internet connection for educational purpose
only.

Time will tell when to hold election and hand over
power to the lawmakers again. We suffered 35 years and
no more sufferings. Enough is enough. The caretaker
government should continue with their remarkable
cleanup and various developmental works.

The Punishment for the corrupt people within law &
justice is also equally important. We must remember
the government for their positive action regardless of
top or small leaders of Awami league, BNP or other
million parties.

We will remember the present government and ALLAH
SUBHANU TAALA WILL REWARD THEM INSHALLAH IF THEY ARE
IMPARTIAL for their jobs well-done.

We believe that the present caretaker government has
dedicated people for the development of Bangladesh.
Corruption and law less ness are the main obstacles.
They have our whole hearted support. They should do
their best to reach the goal but definitely not 35
years. Allah helps those who help themselves.

I will be glad to get any positive comments please.

[chottala.com] Here is a reason for which CTG can justify banning Jamat-e-Islami

Here is a reason for which CTG can justify banning Jamat-e-Islami

The corrupt politics of the two main parties and the hollowness in the personalities of the leaders (leftists or center) - these were the lifeline and these still are the life-blood for the politics of Jamat. Moreover, our two national fools - Dr. K. and Dr. B. brought in the two ladies from their 'heshel' to lead their respective parties, in the name of unity and eventually to destroy what was still left of politics in Bangladesh. Although, the two ladies are paying the prices, punishing the people who surrounded them is more needed. The cunning Go.A. and his party has so far maximized their political gain from this political hodgepodge because of these big mistakes perpetrated by our national leaders, their corrupt character or for the lack of strength in their statesman approach to leadership.Its time to think about possible correction.

So what? Somebody has taken advantage of the situation prevalent in the environment. At least, Go.A. and his party knew how to read the environment and make use of it, isn't it? Now that those fools and stupids are realizing that they have nothing to be proud of, they have achieved very little and many of them are lining up to prepare themselves in jails, they are doing their last thing - express their hate towards the party of Go.A. on the basis of something which they could not do or at the least, did not think doable. Now, they are demanding this out of CTG, with the hope (in their heart) to belittle this fledgling government - to create pressure on the CTG to get out of corruption fight prematurely or at least, to save their faces. What more harm can you do, dear politicians? Can't you just say "Dhoroni Dhidha Hou"!! and leave us, the people, alone?

Moreover, the basis or logic on which many of these stupids are writing their tune, is a faulty one. What do you do - if the younger generation leadership within that party - who probably have nothing wrong to do during 1971, if they sideline all the senior party leaders (say, who are above 45 years of age) from leadership? At least, they do not have to get their leaders ordered out of mother's womb! They practice democracy - whatever the word 'democracy' mean to them. But they don't order their leaders from a certain factory, they create their own leaders, isn't it? But lets not go there for today, lets focus on the topic.

We would imagine, there are many in line who can take over and will take over from those who allegedly did wrong during 1971. This particular allegation is confusing to the new generation people (at least to many of them who likes to think themselves as rational and open minded). Because nobody thought of filing cases against them, let alone arresting them during last 36 years. Well, except only Jahanara Imam's Gono-Adalot. Many of the nation participated in that practice and the verdict of that trial is declared already. That court is given its verdict and it is a close deal as far as that particular court is concerned. But that form of justice is supposed to inform the public - which it did successfully - to some extant.

 

Coming back to the issue - so, is there anything to do for the CTG about this issue? Or rather, could there be a ground or justification for the CTG to consider action against Jamat? Let us analyze. And it seems yes, only after, if the leadership in CTG thinks the govt. has been successful to cut the bloodline for the Jamatis or for that matter, the bloodline for any fundamentalist politics. Once that is done, action can be two-fold. State can take a legal position against these culprit - if there is a legal ground (ICC comes to mind), and also, the State can take a moral position on this matter - that has to be clearly positioned and succinctly articulated. Not like some of those Zillul / Menon / Inu type politicians would like it to be articulated.

 

How should CTG decide that it has done enough to cut the bloodline for the Jamati-type politics? Here is a benchmark. Out of the 222 listed, there should be at least 100 hard-core corrupt who would not accept the responsibility and wouldn't plea guilty. But there would be another hundred or so, who would like to plead guilty and want to cooperate with the government - in return of a peaceful private (not public) life with less punishment. Government should use those hundred or so to get others who were not listed or could not be listed. Those others will be implicated by these hundred pleading guilty. On the average if one corrupt gives enough information to get another 10 fishes.... that gives the government about 1000 new corrupts to work with. Again among those 1000 new, they will probably eventually find about 500 hardcore corrupts who should be sent behind bar for at least 15 years each or for life. Also, if the ACC takes its time to continue this kind of work in a iterative way - that should make sure that Bangladesh would come out of vicious cycle of corruption on the national scale - in a few years time. But is ACC to completely equipped yet for that kind of work? No, we do not think so. Government should take RAB - detach it from regular police force - and attach it with the ACC permanently. RAB should become the action arm of ACC - the size of RAB should be smaller in size but flexible in that the ACC Chairman can co-opt any number of members temporarily from various government agencies (NBR, BoI, Army, Police, Navy, BCS, etc) or private companies or NGOs as needed basis. It will be a true reflection of its name - RAP ACTION BATTALION.

Anyways, coming back to the topic - once that is done, govt should have a reasonable comfort that the bloodline of Jamat has been cut off. Now, dealing with the fundamentalists will be a one time job. If the aforementioned thing is not done first, the dealing with the fundamentalists will not be a one time job, rather targeting the Jamatis will enhance their popularity - since they might be seen as victimized and get popularity since the general people dis-like other corrupts even more.

Re: [chottala.com] Bangladesh : Veiled Threat ??????

To face Veiled Threat & to face any kind of challange it is very essentially needed to provide nation wide to all people quality education ( job base & profession base) to make the people quality educated at least minimum standard.

[chottala.com] Re: [khabor.com] Dr. Jaffor Ullah:Bangladesh was made a paradox with the able hands of military, mullahs, and oligarchs

Present CTG may think for executing Mujib's Ideology by conducting BAKSAL System election procedure for establishing people's real democracy.
Mujib's Ideology is
1) Nationalism,
2) Socialism,
3) Secularism
4) Democracy.
For the reason that news is read in the news paper (shamokal on 30/09/07) that some political leaders are thinking for uniting opposite minded & different ideologist political parsons to do movement against the present CTG in the name of common people interest. It seems that near future they may be united to do street fighting for their common interest for saving their ill earned money. Our dear great politicians are really very great. They can do any thing what they like to do & they can say any word what they think & want to say for going in power to earn money & to save money?  They can do street fighting by destroying people's property & human life by saying that everything is done for the interest of the common people only for seizing power & for staying in power to make money by making country bottomless busket & world top class corrupted.
So it is better for present CTG to make a common constitutional rule for all political party to execute all political activities for guiding them in proper direction for the interest of the common people.

Bangladesh was made a paradox with the able hands of military, mullahs, and oligarchs
 
A.H. Jaffor Ullah
 
The chief of the military-backed government of Bangladesh , Fakhruddin Ahmed, spoke before a gathering at the campus of Columbia University on September 28, 2007.  The chief advisor came to New York City a few days earlier to attend the general assembly of the U.N. in which he gave a 15-miniute address before the dignitaries and the permanent representatives of the comity of nations that make this organization one of a kind world body.
 
Fakhruddin's address to Columbia University's "World Leader's Forum" caught the attention of many people because this is the first time that the chief advisor came to the West after being thrust into power by cantonment intrigue in Bangladesh.  Also, the chief advisor never did take any question from journalists in Bangladesh despite the fact that he attended various state functions in many of which he delivered only speech. 
 
The silent force that is the purveyor of Fakhruddin Administration does not allow the chief advisor to address the press in an open forum.   That is precisely why quite a few eager beaver attended the lecture with the hope that they could ask him some pertinent questions about the way Bangladesh is being run since January 12, 2007.  Many civil rights activists also attended the lecture to get the impression as to why about a quarter million people or so are rotting in the jail without any charge, tens and thousands of poor people were made homeless by the government's forces alone in Dhaka, half a dozen senior professors from three universities – Dhaka, Rajshahi, and Chittagong were arrested and placed in jail as of this writing, and why the government had arrested a twenty-year old cartoonists at the behest of Islamists in Bangladesh.  The other pressing questions that need explanation are – the exit map for this temporary government whose 90-days tenure as per the constitution had all but expired and how long the emergency rule will continue in this "paradoxical" nation that is mired in hyper inflation, and quasi military rule.   Not to mention the military-backed government had supported a faction of political leaders to engage in open politics when it has squashed the political activities of the leading parties and whose leaders are in jail pending litigation.   Also important to many attendees of the lecture is the issue of the up coming general election and the reform process that should make a level playing field for all political parties.
 
I could not attend the lecture because I live about 1,300-1,400 miles away from New York City; however, Mr. Jahed Ahmed, who is one of the moderators of Mukto-mona forum, had attended the meeting and I read his eye account report of the speech.  Mr. Ahmed did a superlative job in reporting the performance of Mr. Fakhruddin Ahmed while he took notes.   I request the readers to peruse his report to know what Mr. Fakhruddin had emphasized in his carefully prepared speech.
 
What I would like to do in this write-up is to bring up the issue of one segment of his speech in which he said, "Bangladesh is, in many ways, a paradox that has baffled many a pundit."   This needs elaboration a bit.  I have no idea in which context the chief advisor categorized Bangladesh as a paradoxical land.  Is it the polity, its political leadership, or is it the people?
 
As I have alluded to earlier that Mr. Fakhruddin Ahmed was thrust into the forefront of governance by a powerful coterie of power.   His purveyor – the military in my view is accountable for making Bangladesh a paradoxical land.  In August 15, 1975 the military executed a plan that it hatched in Kurmitola cantonment.   Since then the military came to power not once but three times.  All along the way, it courted the mullahs (read Islamists) to consolidate its power.  Lest we forget, this tiny nation was formed in 1971 through a mass participation under the leadership of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Tajuddin Ahmed, Nazrul Islam, and many more like them.   An estimated 3 million people were butchered and a quarter million women raped by the brute and occupation army of Pakistani government.  The masses wanted a secular polity and they got one only to see that only three and half-year later the military reverted the course of the journey to transform this one-time vibrant society into a quasi religious state.  
 
In mid-September 2007 a vernacular newspaper published an innocuous cartoon in which the twenty-year old cartoonist by the name Arifur Rahman poked a fun at the naming of Muslim boys.   The Islamists twisted the meaning of the punch line and asked the government to arrest the cartoonist and the editor, publisher and the whole shebang of Bangla newspaper Prothom Alo.  The Fakhruddin Administration could have appointed a body of scholars to look into the content of the carton before arresting the cartoonist.   But to appease the religious fanatics the government did nothing of that sort and it simply arrested the young man who created the cartoon.  The activist government then went further and arranged a " Taoba" (forgiveness or pardon) ceremony with the mullahs asking the law minister to be the middle man to carry out the fiasco in public.  The picture of the hapless editor seated among corpulent mullahs graced the page of most newspaper.   The secular segment of the society simply cringed in feat thinking what lies ahead for this "paradoxical" land.  In my opinion the military-led government is making this country a nation of paradox.
 
The army appointed 10 or so technocrats, ex-military men, and businessman to run the country of 150 million people after January 11, 2007 over through of a caretaker government, which was ordained in late October 2006.   The country is essentially being run by a group of oligarchs who have no connection to masses.  Bangladesh is still a village-based polity.  These men are all city-bred and have a serious disconnection to the people of the land.  The Fakhruddin Administration' s main agenda was to break the tradition of two-family driven politics but to do execute its policy it appointed three oligarchs from the same family.   Is not it paradoxical?  The military-led government said it will arrest all the corrupt politicians but in reality it turned a blind eye to quite a few politicians who are corrupt.  The only reason these corrupt politicians are roaming freely in the nation is that they are extending their helping hands to tighten the noose around the neck of two supreme political leaders.  The government is also dictating these corrupt but free politicians to wreak havoc in their respective parties.   Initially the government thought they could help catapult Dr. Yunus into the political arena.  The Peace Nobel laureate thought he could facilely form a political party using the Internet and media but that was proven so wrong.   The idea of forming the party just withered in the vine and the oligarchs could do nothing but twiddle their thumbs.  Indeed, Bangladesh is seemingly a nation of contradiction.
 
If I understand correctly by reading Jahed Ahmed's write-up on day's event at Columbia University , Mr. Fakhruddin Ahmed talked about the success of poverty alleviation program, food production situation in Bangladesh and the need for good governance; however, he avoided those touchy issues as the arrest of university professors and the young cartoonist.  These questions were asked but the chief advisor dodged the questions while he gave his glib answers.   I was saddened to hear that Mr. Fakhruddin Ahmed did not even say word on the arrest of Arifur Rahman, the jailed cartoonist.  By remaining reticent on this hot issue, the chief advisor had proved one more time that Bangladesh is riddled with contradiction in terms of the governance.  The same Mr. Fakhruddin had given a fiery speech on February 21, 2007 in which he urged everyone to join in to make Bangladesh a knowledge-based society but that ephemeral plea just vanished in the thin air.  The hard reality is that the nation is now under the influence of obscurantists who are dictating the government to efface the vestiges of secularism.   Isn't that a glaring example of the paradoxical nature of Bangladesh ?  If I may say so, Mr. Fakhruddin Ahmed, it is through your action our motherland is becoming not only a hapless but an utter paradoxical land.   Instead of lecturing on it, please do something about it so that in future this epithet could be kept "rest in peace."
