Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Tk. 10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

 

The man bought thousands at Tk. 10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Tk.20.  This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

 

 Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.  The offer rate increased to Tk. 25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!

 

 The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Tk.50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

 

 In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Tk. 35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Tk. 50."

 

 The villagers  squeezed  up  with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.

 

 Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!! !

[chottala.com] When the chief election commissioner hides like a thief [Shada Kalo Blog]

November 05, 2007

When the chief election commissioner hides like a thief

BNP stooge CEC Aziz claimed he was sick and hid out at a hospital when an EU team came to visit and wanted to talk to him. He became the subject of ridicule, but protecting his masters and not the so-called "independent" election commission was his priority.

We see that the current election commission has invited the Saifur-Hafiz faction of BNP to formal dialogs on the same day the CEC claimed the decision was yet to come.

Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) ATM Shamsul Huda on Sunday [Nov 4] told reporters that no decision was taken regarding which faction of BNP would be invited to the talks. "A decision will be taken in a day or two," CEC Huda said adding, "I will collect more information since I need to know more about the matter."

Asked how the commission would take a decision in absence of the two election commissioners, Muhammed Sohul Hussain and M Sakhawat Hussain, who were scheduled to leave Dhaka for the UK the very next day, the CEC said the two commissioners had already given their opinions on the issue.

But, the EC secretary at the news briefing yesterday [again, Nov 4] claimed that the commission took the decision at Sunday's [Nov 4] meeting. "The commission unanimously took the decision," the secretary claimed.

Election commissioners -- Sohul and Sakhawat --- left Dhaka yesterday [again, Nov 4] morning for the UK on a two-week tour to study the feasibility of registering as voters the Bangladeshi citizens living in the UK.
[All Nov 4 dates inserted above after a reader comment to clear up any confusion]. Did the two commissioners attend the meeting and then leave? Why on the same day the EC is saying the decision will take a few more days, and the EC secretary announces the decision right after that, claiming it was reached that day? So who is lying, the CEC or the EC secretary? Because both can not be right given the conflicting statements. And in a scene reminiscent of Aziz's fake illness, the CEC stranded journalists after promising to talk to them.
The CEC yesterday went to his office and talked to senior EC officials. When a group of journalists sought his appointment through his personal secretary, the CEC asked them through the personal secretary to come at a later hour.

When the journalists returned for a meeting with the CEC in late afternoon, his personal secretary asked them to wait in the conference room for a briefing. As the journalists were waiting there expecting to meet the CEC, the EC secretary walked in to brief them, informing them that the CEC had already left the building.
Given the CTG-engineered coup of BNP, it is no surprise that the Saifur-faction was invited. But it seems like the EC is not even trying to put a veneer of half-truths on their actions; they are going with outright lies and sneaking out of back doors at this point.

CEC Aziz must be so happy that his proud tradition is still continuing.

[chottala.com] EC votes for Saifur-led BNP

 
Committed to PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO KNOW
Tuesday, November 6, 2007 02:52 AM GMT+06:00  
   
Front Page
Invites it for Nov 22 electoral reform talks; Khaleda-appointed BNP secy gen Delwar rejects outright the decision

The Election Commission (EC) yesterday invited Saifur Rahman-led faction of BNP to the electoral reform talks with the commission scheduled for November 22.

Through the move the EC officially recognised Saifur faction of BNP as the mainstream of the party.

Examining the constitution of BNP and the demands raised by both the factions of the troubled party, the EC also gave legitimacy to the decisions taken by the party's national standing committee (NSC) meeting held in Saifur Rahman's residence on October 29, which had appointed M Saifur Rahman and Hafizuddin Ahmed as the acting chairman and the acting secretary general respectively.

"The commission considers the decisions appropriate and it unanimously decided to send the invitation letter to the acting secretary general for joining the dialogue on behalf of BNP," EC Secretary Humayun Kabir disclosed to the media yesterday evening at a briefing.

The faction led by detained party chief Khaleda Zia appointed Secretary General Delwar Hossain rejected outright the EC's decision and announced that they will challenge it in the court, while Saifur-led faction welcomed the EC's decision and said the decision will inspire BNP leaders and activists across the country.

The EC secretary said the commission sent the invitation letter to the address of BNP's Acting Secretary General Hafizuddin Ahmed requesting him to send a ten-member delegation to the ongoing electoral reform talks with the commission.

Referring to the letters submitted by both the factions of BNP, the EC observed that it seems BNP is divided and both factions were interested in getting the EC's invitation for electoral reform talks, a development that was unwarranted for the commission, since it does not want to get involved in intra-party disputes of any political organisation.

"Two months have passed since the expulsion of Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan. The commission hoped that the party itself would be able to resolve its problems by this time. Unfortunately, the commission's hope was not fulfilled. Invitation must be sent to one of the factions for the sake of maintaining the roadmap [for electoral talks]," the EC said in a written statement, which was distributed among reporters.

Interpreting the provision 5 of BNP's constitution, the EC observed, "It seems the BNP chairperson took into cognisance the section partially, ignoring the provision of allowing the accused to defend himself. Through the process, Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan was deprived of natural justice," the EC continued.

Despite section 5 of the party constitution being ignored by Khaleda Zia, the EC thinks it is mandatory to take approval of the national standing committee as soon as possible to ratify such a punitive action.

"The commission thinks that the mandatory provision was met by the meeting of the BNP national standing committee. Three of the surviving14 members of the national standing committee are in jail and two did not attend the meeting. A total of seven members attended the meeting, a number sufficient for fulfilling the quorum requirement," the EC argued in defence of its decision.

The October 29 national standing committee meeting of BNP did not ratify the expulsion of erstwhile secretary general Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan and joint secretary general Ashraf Hossain by now detained BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.

Meanwhile one of the standing committee members, Dr R A Gani, who attended the October 29 meeting and known as a Khaleda loyalist, yesterday said that was an informal meeting and the decisions taken by it are invalid since the meeting was not convened by the chairperson.

When the EC secretary's attention was drawn to the controversy over the legitimacy of the BNP standing committee's meeting itself, he declined to give any clarification. "You can ask the commission about it. I am not going to give any clarification."

Khaleda Zia on September 3, the day she was detained by the joint forces, disclosed that she had expelled Bhuiyan and Ashraf from the party on charges of violating party discipline, and had appointed Khandaker Delwar Hossain as the new secretary general.

Bhuiyan loyalists rejected outright the BNP chairperson's decision and claimed themselves as the mainstream of the party.

Since then both the factions embarked on a manoeuvring race to win the EC's invitation, as the coveted invitation was being considered as the authoritative recognition as the mainstream of the party. Both the factions submitted several letters to the EC claiming themselves as mainstreams of the party in efforts to get the invitation.

With the EC's decision to invite Saifur-led faction to the dialogue, the race for recognition apparently ended putting Saifur's faction in an advantageous position regarding getting registered with the EC as the mainstream of BNP, and for having the right to use the electoral symbol of a sheaf of paddy as its symbol in the next parliamentary polls.

Besides, Saifur-led faction will be authorised to use the party's central office, which has been under lock and key since the emergence of the dispute between the factions led by Bhuiyan and Delwar.

A senior leader of Saifur faction said they will now ask the authorities to allow them to use the BNP central office in Naya Paltan area of the capital.

If Khaleda recognises the committee led by Saifur, there will be no major division in BNP, but if she stands by Delwar, then the faction led by Delwar will face a number of major difficulties in being registered with the EC as a parliamentary political party.

According to the EC's proposed laws for political parties' registration, if Delwar-led faction is not recognised as part of BNP, then they will have to take a new name and meet certain criteria for registration that is to be made mandatory for a political party seeking to contest the next polls.

The EC's draft electoral reform proposal says a party lacking representation in any of the previous parliaments, must have committees in at least 32 districts with 1,000 members in each, to be eligible for registration with the commission. Besides, the party must have committees in all upazilas of those districts with at least 200 members in each committee.

WHO IS RIGHT?

Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) ATM Shamsul Huda on Sunday told reporters that no decision was taken regarding which faction of BNP would be invited to the talks. "A decision will be taken in a day or two," CEC Huda said adding, "I will collect more information since I need to know more about the matter."

Asked how the commission would take a decision in absence of the two election commissioners, Muhammed Sohul Hussain and M Sakhawat Hussain, who were scheduled to leave Dhaka for the UK the very next day, the CEC said the two commissioners had already given their opinions on the issue.

But, the EC secretary at the news briefing yesterday claimed that the commission took the decision at Sunday's meeting. "The commission unanimously took the decision," the secretary claimed.

Election commissioners -- Sohul and Sakhawat --- left Dhaka yesterday morning for the UK on a two-week tour to study the feasibility of registering as voters the Bangladeshi citizens living in the UK.

The CEC yesterday went to his office and talked to senior EC officials. When a group of journalists sought his appointment through his personal secretary, the CEC asked them through the personal secretary to come at a later hour.

When the journalists returned for a meeting with the CEC in late afternoon, his personal secretary asked them to wait in the conference room for a briefing. As the journalists were waiting there expecting to meet the CEC, the EC secretary walked in to brief them, informing them that the CEC had already left the building.

CEC Huda is scheduled to leave Dhaka tomorrow for Thailand on a personal tour and is scheduled to return on November 11.

For the first time in the history of the Election Commission of Bangladesh, the full commission will be out of the country for at least five days, officials of the EC secretariat said.

[chottala.com] Analysis of an analysis [ Shada Kalo Blog]

November 04, 2007

Analysis of an analysis

http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3152150857259795212&postID=6073349928203163248

An analysis in Amader Shomoy  [ http://www.amadershomoy.com/news.php?id=208652&sys=1] looks at the three-way struggle for the hearts and minds of the government, and by extension, the future of Bangladesh.

Some deshi blogs, including this one, have been speculating about Jamaat's sudden declaration that there are no war criminals in Bangladesh, and the AS article provides one plausible explanation.

The first thing to remember when reading any analysis in Amader Shomoy is that there are rumors of AS being too cozy with DGFI. We would like to stress that these are rumors only but they became so persistent, the editor and publisher actually had to defend his position in print. The same rumors often speculated that AS spreads disinformation for its financial benefactors, so stories published in AS should be taken with a grain of salt. With that disclaimer out of the way, lets take a look.

Consider this post an example of reading between the lines, ShadaKalo-style.

According to the author, the first outside power (hereinafter P-1) is the architect of the Minus-2 formula, and they are pushing for a new unity government. This faction is finally arresting the August 21 grenade attackers to gain the support of AL and the populace, and also trying to unify the nationalist parties. (does this mean the midnight coup at BNP?). While the author does not identify this faction, because they apparently have the power to arrest the bombers overnight, it would be safe to assume it is a powerful faction of the Army, backed by Gen. Moeen (where is he, BTW?) and the DGFI.

The second faction (P-2) is allegedly alarmed at this development, and is trying to sabotage this effort. They are aligned with the Khaleda Zia faction of BNP and Jamaat. To muddy the water and to permanently rehabilitate the war criminals, they revived the war criminal issue. We will come back to this later.

The third player (P-3) in this three-legged race is an amalgamation of a number of extremist parties and their friends: JMB, HUJI and the former Freedom party. Alarmed at the arrest and confession of the extremists, this third wheel is now aligning itself with the BNP+Jamaat alliance.

The article goes on to say that "a neighboring country" is upset with Bangladesh for connecting the Asian highway through Myanmar. [start rant]Are they perhaps talking about Iceland? Why are our newspapers afraid to say India when it is a negative story? Who exactly are they fooling? If they are afraid to name a country, how will they name powerful but corrupt people inside Bangladesh?[end rant] Apparently, this is the reason prices of essentials are leapfrogging.

The article ends with an alternative speculation: to keep rising consumer price index out of people's minds, the P-1 is conducting the anti-yaba raids, reviving the 1971 war-criminal issue and armed militants.

Ahem. Lets put on the ShadaKalo glasses to look at these claims.

India is unhappy about the Asian highway. Even if we ignore its big-brother aspirations, connecting to the Indian ends of the highways made economic sense for both India and Bangladesh. Not only will Bangladesh have to pay for some of the road inside Myanmar, the roads will go through a rebel-infested part of Myanmar where even the Myanmar army comes under regular attack. On a scale of fool-hardy decisions, this ranks way up there. Could India be influencing exports to Bangladesh and helping raise the price of consumables? Possible.

What is equally possible is that India is a convenient juju. Consumer price index is going crazy and the government can not control it? Lets blame India, and use Amader Shomoy to distribute this story.

But the thing that really interests us is the claim that Jamaat is using itself as a bait to destabilize the effort by the Minus-2 formula of P-1, and also to resolve the war-criminal issue once and for all through the courts.

Lets take the last one first. To understand the context, we highly recommend these two posts and comments on DhakaShohor here and here, and a brief history lesson. John Scopes, a school-teacher, was charged in 1925 with teaching the theories of evolution in school, which was a violation of Tennessee law at that time. The only way to change the law was to win a court case against it, and a local businessman encouraged his friend John Scopes to actually break the law by teaching evolution, so they could take it to court. AS seems to think that is the Jamaat strategy: force the hand of the government and the people to go to trial, where under existing laws they will be found not guilty, and be forever protected.

We have one question: why? Given the average lifespan of a typical Bangladeshi male, both the freedom-fighters and the rajakars don't have that long to live. Why would they poke a sleeping giant? The Ghatok Dalal Nirul Committee was dormant, the CTG was too busy with other priorities like election and spiraling prices. Even we are guilty of the same complacency: until Mash's excellent posts, we didn't think much about the genocide lately.

Are Jamaatis really acting as the bait to draw the CTG into this issue to detract them from the Minus-2 formula? That is even less credible. The biggest beneficiary of a Minus-2 action, apart from the bit-players in AL and BNP who came to prominence, would have been Jamaat. While party-faithful from both AL and BNP were being arrested, most Jamaatis have remained untouchable, with only one prominent Jamaat member under arrest. If anything, the CTG has been accused of being Jamaat-friendly.

So Jamaat's role of establishing legal precedence through the courts, CTG-baiting or obstructing the Minus-2 formula does not pass the ShadaKalo analysis.

Lets turn this around and look from the opposite angle. Jamaatis are old, the issue was old and dormant, and perhaps even forgotten. Jamaat had too little to gain, and potentially too much to lose, by reviving this issue. Mujahid's statement was not also an one-time slip of the tongue: Mr. Hannan promptly went on TV and called the liberation war a "civil war", and Amader Shomoy dug out a previously unpublished interview with Nizami where he claimed the lack of general diaries with the police proves there were no war criminals.

So the question is, did Jamaat suddenly wake up one fine morning and sent out a memo saying "after a long silence, lets all remind everyone what we did or did not do in 1971"? Or were they arm-twisted/bribed/coerced into this public opening of an almost dry wound?

Regardless of the answer, the public attention and energy is suddenly shifted (and rightfully so) to the trial of the war criminals and genocide deniers. AL does not benefit from this. BNP does not benefit from this. Jamaat does not benefit from this, apart from the murky prospect of a court finally giving them de-jure absolution, which they de-facto already had.

We previously questioned why Jamaat leader Shahjahan Chowdhury, hiding in the hills of Chittagong, would suddenly surrender when the police was no-where near arresting him.

Sure made the CTG look anti-Jamaati, right? Coincidentally, Army/DGFI/P-1 is also the only power-block in Bangladesh with enough clout to possibly make Jamaat do its bidding.

With the public's attention diverted to the war criminal issue, the CTG, or the P-1 faction inside/outside the CTG can carry on its own agenda, be it Minus-2 or the National Security Council/Unity Government.

The party who gained most from the recent bout of war-criminal issue was the CTG/P-1, and they also had the carrots and sticks necessary to make Jamaat do what it wanted.

This of course is the diametrical opposite of the theory postulated in Amader Shomoy, that Jamaat is doing this to destabilize P-1.

We all know this started when Mujaid answered a journalist's question. We would have loved to know the name of the journalist, or which organization s/he works for.

[chottala.com] Welcome to Share Market & a monkey business

Please read the following story, Its important, hahahahha,
 
regards,
 
reza
 
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Tk. 10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

 

The man bought thousands at Tk. 10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Tk.20.  This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

 

 Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.  The offer rate increased to Tk. 25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!

 

 The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Tk.50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

 

 In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Tk. 35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Tk. 50."

 

 The villagers  squeezed  up  with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.

 

 Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!! !

 

 Welcome to the "Stock" Market!!!!!
