[chottala.com] Truth commisson : three editorial

Editorial (New age )
Proposed truth commission:
a travesty of truth and justice
The military-driven interim government has now come up with a puzzling idea – the idea of setting up a truth commission as an institutional mechanism through which corrupt businessmen will be able to avoid serving jail sentences, if they confess their financial crimes and pay fines as recompense. The rationale that the law and information adviser, Mainul Hosein, reportedly offered on Wednesday is that the process would help dispel the fears of businessmen, who will now be able to carry on their activities without being 'hampered' by anti-corruption drives. While it is of immense importance to remove the environment of fear generated by arbitrary drives, the idea of institutionalising the double standards of dealing with similar crimes by the businessmen and the rest of the populace in dissimilar ways contradicts the central tenet of the rule of law that upholds equality of citizens in the eyes of the law. The principles of the rule of law could never endorse the idea of awarding prison terms to some people, say the politicians, and providing amnesty to others, businessmen in the present case, for similar crimes. Besides, such double standards, if really adopted, would create serious complexities for the perceived commission to address such crimes committed by, say, politicians running businesses, or vice versa.
   It has not escaped the public's notice that the Fakhruddin Ahmed government broke with the judicial norms when it arrested scores of high-profile politicians and businessmen in its first few months in power without specifying the charges against them. Now that the adverse implications, particularly the economic implications, of that arbitrary actions have started surfacing, especially in the form of economic slowdown, the government has perhaps is desperate to manage the situation by way of making legal concessions to the unscrupulous sections of the business community. This is something like one mistake breeding another, and so on and so forth – a way that any prudent administration would always avoid.
   The choice of name for the perceived commission seems, on the other hand, to be intended to echo the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that was set up in South Africa in 1995. We find it a tragic trivialisation of the spirit and mandate of the historic South African commission, created to reconcile the majority black South Africans with their minority white counterparts, which was the need of the hour to avert a violent civil war. Besides, the essential goal of that process was not so much to grant amnesty to those who committed crimes – as is the case with Bangladesh's proposed commission – as much as it was to reconcile the two sides in finding the way forward for a post-apartheid democratic South Africa. It must also be recognised that the South African commission, headed by no less than a man called Desmond Tutu, was formed under the leadership of Nelson Mandela, who, again, not only led the anti-apartheid movement but was also elected president before setting up of the commission. As such, there was neither a credibility crisis nor a legitimacy crisis that could undermine the South African commission's findings in the years to come. Not the same could be said of the truth commission proposed by a government, which is already exposed to legitimacy crisis.
   Under this circumstance, we urge the government to abandon the idea of going ahead with a 'legal' mechanism which is inherently inconsistent with the democratic value system that does not support the idea of inequality of citizens before the law.

Novel idea, needs public debate

Law Adviser Mainul Hosein's comments on the possibility of the formation of a Truth Commission that will give businessmen accused of corruption the scope to 'confess' and so let them get back to doing their jobs took us a bit by surprise. Part of our surprise springs from the fact that the commission is meant only for businessmen. The suggestion also lacks details. While we certainly appreciate the novelty of the idea, there are some significant aspects of the issue that are not known to us. Among those aspects are the probable terms of reference of the body, its legal basis, the morality governing its establishment and functions and finally the applicability of the commission's decisions. Besides, to what extent does such a commission affect the working of the normal laws pertaining to criminal conduct?

One worrying part of any talk about a Truth Commission is whether the idea was at all discussed by the council of advisers before the media were let into it by the law adviser. If it was not, it is important that it be deliberated on. After all, a Truth Commission must have some strong moral and legal basis to work on. A common thread running through the commissions we so far know about is that they have largely been concerned with inquiring into human rights violations, political violence, ethnic killings and the like. A Truth Commission is an essentially late twentieth century development and is generally concerned with bringing together the fragmented parts of a shattered society back into one whole piece again. As far as we in Bangladesh are aware, nothing has happened to suggest that our nation has essentially dwindled into a fragmented society requiring such a commission. Moreover, it is hard to understand why a Truth Commission should apply only to businessmen and leave out the politicians now in jail or on the run. The suggestion does not offer a level playing field to all.

The law adviser thinks a Truth Commission could help encourage businessmen into bringing back enthusiasm in trade and industry. The reality, though, is that the business community has itself suggested some tangible measures for a revival of business confidence. We are not certain as to how seriously those suggestions have been examined. The government can work on those suggestions in earnest. As for a Truth Commission being there, it will need detailed discussions with business circles and the legal community. The suggestion needs to be further crystallised before we can consider adopting it.

[chottala.com] RE: [banglarnari] A short list of Bangalee Collaborators and War Criminals of 1971 : Published by Mu

Mr. Mohammed Ramjan Ali Bhuiyan,
In response to your following e-mail, I would like to inform you that Bangladesh was not a gift from your Pakistani Muslim brothers. Your Pakistani Muslim brothers not only tortured and killed thousands of men, women and children of Bangladesh but also raped, abused, humiliated and then killed many more innocent women. We hate those Muslim brothers who committed crimes against humanity. The entire nation not only knew our history but also many were embedded with this freedom struggle who are still alive.
Intents and actions of Jamaat-e-Islami and the likes of them during the 9 months of liberation are well documented. There is no doubt who participated in those killings. After the creation of Pakistan, Jamaat-e-Islami was divided into separate Indian and Pakistani organisations. The Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh originates from Jamaat wing in the then East Pakistan. Golam Azam became the secretary of the Islamist political party Jamaat-e-Islami East Pakistan in 1957. Later, he became the Ameer (president) of the Jamaat in East Pakistan in 1969. Jamaat strongly opposed for an independent Bangladesh. At liberation war of Bangladesh Jamaat not only aided Paksitan army by providing information or pro-independent Bangladeshis but also itself created many militia organization such as Razakar, Al badr, as shams in order to capture and eventually kill freedom fighters.
Thus the party is regarded to Bangladeshis as quisling of Bangladesh. In 1971 its top leader were ex-chief, Golam Azam, Matiur Rahman Nizami, Ali Ahsan Mujahid, Muhammaad Kamaruzzaman, Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, etc.
Please read the following activities of Golam Azam, Matiur Rahman Nizami, and Ali Ahsan Mujahid during the liberation war of Bangladesh:
Golam Azam:
Matiur Rahman Nizami:
Ali Ahsan Mujahid:
In 1971 many intellectuals were killed directly by Jamaati storm tropper Al-badar. One of them was the prominent writer Shahidullah Kaiser. He was picked up by the Al-Badr on 14 December 1971 and never returned. Many eye-witnesses of his being picked up by Al-badr are still alive and available to testify. This Al-badr unit [4/5 young people in a Jeep] a was composed of Islami Chattro Shangho [Rokons of Jamaat-e-Islami] cadres and were identified faces. The history is on the march ... but the Jamaat's involvement in the murders of  intellectuals in 1971 is still verifiable. Yes, failures of our all leaders and governments in apprehending criminals like Golam Azam/Nizami/Sayedee and not sending them to gallows have now become their reversed criminal acts. Neither the Islamic Republic of Pakistan nor the proponents of Islamist rule has regretted or apologized for their misdeeds of killing Muslim brothers and sisters in the name of ISLAM in 1971.
Being a Muslim, how can you resort to lies to prove your point?  But this is very normal for the Jamaatis -the followers of Maulana Moududi and Gholam Azam et el.

Re: [chottala.com] Article in Pak Tribune

Here is the article:-
http://www.paktribune.com/news/index.shtml?190941


Thank you Bangladesh for having the moral courage to resolve a
humanitarian crisis by granting citizenship to those unfortunate
soles who are famously known as "stranded Pakistanis". But wait a
minute; they were stranded from a Pakistani perspective, from a
Bangladeshi perspective they were foreigners, traitors, enemy
combatants..take your pick. How come Bangladeshis had the fortitude
and decency to look beyond political slogans and dealt with this
issue purely on human grounds. They are not only about to give them
citizenship but voting rights as well. Shame on the establishment
and racist politicians of Pakistan for squandering an opportunity
for the past 36 years to do the right thing because of political
expediency and pettiness.

The saddest part of this whole fiasco is that the drunkard and
incompetent high-brass of the Army that laid down the weapons and
made a laughing stock out of the entire nation, the generals who
were solely responsible for loosing the war were given real-estates
and pension funds and when they died they were laid to rest with
decorum. However the citizens of Pakistan that were always loyal to
Pakistan in now Bangladesh and in some instances fought along side
Pakistani Army were left to rot in camps for the past 36 years.
There generations grew up in abject poverty and were forced to the
life of despair because we weren't capable of humanity or merely
fairness. The thing that surprised me the most that even after being
back-stabbed by the Pakistani establishment - and why stop at
establishment lets blame the entire nation of Pakistan because I
don't remember any huge protests by civil society to bring them back
in my consciousness – time and again, the stranded Pakistanis always
maintained there loyalty with Pakistan, even though we gave them no
reason that we give a rats ass about them they kept the hope that
one of these days we the Pakistanis would do the right thing, oh how
wrong they were – for we are cut from a very cheap cloth.

I am asked to be proud of being a Pakistani, its moment like these
that I really wonder, are we really at a juncture as a nation where
there is any reason to have this hollow-pride? We have successfully
created a class system which wasn't there for the most part when the
country was created. We have a society of have's and have not's.
Have's are above the law and the entire country is there ancestral
estate where they roam about as conquerors. Constitutions can be
amended and interpreted according to there whims. They do what there
heart desires without bothering about whether it's right or wrong.
Have-not's are just trying to get access to breathing. Clean water
is a luxury that most of them can not afford. There generations have
labored on fields and they work tirelessly from dawn till dusk
harvesting and still the dogs of chaudhry sahab are treated more
humanely and have access to more nutrition than these poor soles who
grow everything that we eat in iftar parties at the presidency and
PM house. But who cares about there sorry existence….first thing
first, lets get Musharaf `elected' for next 5 years…..abb to lagta
hay ghareeb kii aahh bhii nahi lagti in dheetton(thick skinned) koo.
Please do tell which part of this equation should be the reason for
our gloat? Musharaf coined the phrase `sab say pehlay pakistan'
(Pakistan First). I tell you we must give credit to these spin
doctors for uttering these nuances with a straight face. It would be
quite funny if it wasn't brutal.

Every single political party who has participated in an election
from the area of Orangi Town in Karachi at one point or another
promised the return of stranded citizens of Pakistan, but it has
been just that – a promise with nothing to show for it. MQM had it
as part of its original manifesto. They have been in govt. 3 times
now; this last stint has been 5 years long. How come no one asks
them a simple question in hundreds of talk-shows that they appear on
numerous channels, "Hazrat what have you guys done about those poor
soles that you gladly own as your own because it get you votes?".
But MQM is not the only political party that has cunningly cashed
this sentiment. PPP, Jamat, Muslim League etc. all have displayed
the same nature of hypocrisy. The height of the irony is that the
only politician who truly and sincerely tried and almost got these
stranded Pakistanis back was a Punjabi Chief Minister Ghulam Haider
Wayeen. He could have gained nothing politically from this stance;
in fact I reckon there would have been a backlash from his
constituents to some degree because the sad reality is that we are
still highly communal people.

The thing that I find quite intriguing is that Bengalis were
maligned as traitors by a vast majority of Pakistanis when I was a
teenager in Pakistan during late 90's, not so anymore. And that
prejudice and hate really cut-across provincial boundaries in those
days. Bengalis were blamed for what happened in '71 and they were
traitors as far as we were concerned. Sense however has prevailed in
our society since than and even those individuals that you hardly
expect any kind of sense from (read sherafgan niazi) would tell you
that West Pakistan and its military/civil establishment drove
Bengalis on the course which ended in Bangladesh (albeit the same
people will support the killing of Bugti..go figure). It was the
prejudice and unfair treatment from West Pakistan from the word-go
that disenfranchised our brethren in East Pakistan; it was our fault
all along, not theirs at all. Bengalis were the majority in 1947,
they could have forced there language as the national language, but
for the sake of unity they went with Urdu. East Pakistan had 56%
population in 1947 and therefore should have been awarded the
resources accordingly but Hussein Shaheed Suharwardi - one of the
few decent & competent Prime Ministers that our country has seen –
helped reach consensus in East Pakistan to divide resources right in
the middle, sadly all this was just the tip of the ice-berg. We have
to understand that it wasn't Bhutto or Yahya Khan or Ayub alone in a
vacuum that brought about the catastrophe of Bangladesh, although
they were the bigger piece of the puzzle. It was the systematic
alienation that took place from the very beginning that brought down
the house. I mean how stupid do you have to be to insinuate that
since Bengalis are shorter therefore they must not rule and it is
the right of tall, broad shouldered `men' of frontier and Punjab
that should be the generals in the Army. It was a good thing that
blue-eyed General Niazi was the commander otherwise Pakistanis would
have to suffer a humiliating defeat in east Pakistan…oh wait a
minute my bad… WE DID SUFFER A HUMILIATING DEFEAT DESPITE OF NIAZI'S
CHARMING PRESENCE. Because you see, whether you look good in uniform
or not is quite immaterial, the nugget which is of tantamount
importance is that you must not be a complete incompetent idiot.

Bengalis by nature were a democratic people, we on the other hand
are always in awe of `Maula Baksh'. I mean ours would probably be
the only country where street thugs, bandits and murderers are
admired as icons and we make one movie after another to commemorate
them. A part of the society is suffering with this Robin-Hood
syndrome and that is why Rule of Law is a foreign concept. Times
however are changing. Civil society has finally come to realization
that it is there right to govern. People with guns (read Army) might
have had an edge in Old West, but this is 2007. And if I am wrong
than rest assured that we are still living in dark-ages and no
matter how many atom-bombs we have, we will never amount to anything
meaningful in this world as a nation. People need to shut-up about
how every country's democracy is different. Could you be any
stupider? Its not rocket science. Let the people decide there fate
thru a free and fair electoral process.

I am a little disappointed that Pakistani media, both electronic and
print, missed this story for the most part. These were our citizens
who suffered because of our incompetence and now that they are free
from the shackles of conscience, the least we could have done is an
acknowledgment of our failure! Pakistan has become a test-case where
the corruption - whether its financial or moral - serves as an
advantage rather than a handicap, and that alone really for lack of
a better word is just SAD.

BREAKING NEWS
SC freezes HC bail to Khaleda
Thu, Oct 4th, 2007 12:53 pm BdST
Dhaka, Oct 4 (bdnews24.com) – The Supreme Court Thursday overturned the High Court rule and froze the bail to former prime minister Khaleda Zia in GATCO corruption case.

A seven-strong full bench of the Appellate Division led by chief justice M Ruhul Amin also ruled that the proceedings of the graft case could go on in the trial court against the BNP chairperson.

The High Court Sunday awarded bail to Khaleda but a day later the government and the Anticorruption Commission sought Supreme Court freezes on the High Court order and the stay on GATCO corruption case proceedings.
