[chottala.com] No room to pay homage to Aurora :an informative article by journalist zainul Abedin , deplore the shameless pro indian jibis and lootings of Indians

 
No room to pay homage to Arora
Mohammad Zianal Abedin
An article in an Indian magazine 'Frontline' (Volume 22 - Issue 13, Jun 18- Jul 01, 2005,http://www.frontlineonnet.com/fl2213/stories/20050701001405300.htm ), contributed by a Bangladeshi journalist Haroon Habib,under the caption 'Homage to a hero' drew my attention. Myfellow-journalist Harron Habib left no stone unturned to praise Gen. Arorafor his heroic (?) deeds. Haroon expressed his anguish seeing the passivemood of many quarters, including the ruling elites, for their failure inpaying homage to Arora who died on May 3.
The write-up of Haroon Habib could be excellent one, if he could be impartial and could also try to explore and unearth the reason, why the Bangladeshis in general refrained from paying sincere tribute to Arora. The reason is this that the role of Arora and his associates was heroic for India, but not for Bangladesh, rather it was a curse for Bangladesh and its people. His death was condoled by those who are known in Bangladesh as pro-Indian elements. Observers, who monitored those condolence meetings, found the speakers engaged in competitions in pleasing India more than paying homage to Arora. Indian High Commission in Dhaka is alleged to have sponsored almost all the meetings orgrainsed by various parties and groups. None of the condolence meetings was spontaneous. Most of the organisers and speakers were supposed to do so, as they are overtly and covertly aligned to and benefited by India.
Haroon Habib praised Arora for his unique command over his troops in keeping them disciplined. But his comment is beyond reality. There is no evidence as to what the General did to stop his soldiers from looting. He was either a failed commander who miserably failed to impose discipline and supervision in the conduct of his troops when they resorted to stealing the assets of the country they allegedly came to liberate. The failure to prevent this full scale looting actually planted the first seed of anti-India feeling in the hearts of the Bangladeshis.
One expatiate Bangladeshi, Tuhin Reza,alleged that he failed to impose discipline on his troops that paved the way for looting. But the ground reality that I saw in Dhaka just after December 16, 1971, shows that the looting was open and concerted, something, as if,by official instruction. It was not a failure. It was his instruction. Not only the dwelling houses or shops of Dhaka and other major urban areas of Bangladesh, were looted, but also mills and factories, stores of jute, cotton and food grains, and all other things. The looted materials were sent to India loading hundreds of thousands of military lorries and trucks and ship. Individual soldier could steal one or two fancy or attractive items, but how thousands of trucks and vessels loaded with different types of articles and goods could ply to India, if Arora and his bosses in New Delhi had not instructed to do so.
Haoon Habib regretfully said that the role of Arora was distorted in Bangladesh. Haroon Habib opined, "Despite the distortions, one particular photograph of the country's history cannot be erased. The historic picture shows Lt. Gen. A.A.K. Niazi signing the instrument of surrender in front of Lt. Gen. J.S.Arora at Dhaka's Ramna Race Course." But Mr. Haroon failed to comprehend that this very picture of singing ceremony also itself is the evidence and document of Indian conspiracy in denying the role and sacrifice of freedom fighters of Bangladesh and its people. Where was the representation of Bangladesh in the signing ceremony? Why Gen. M. A. G. Osmany, the commamander in chief of the Banglasesh forces was not allowed to remain present in the signing ceremony, who could be co-signatories? Denying the signature of Osmany or any other legalrepresentative of the then Revolutionary government of Bangladesh, India itself denied our liberation war.
 It is alleged that Gen. Osmany was not allowed to reach Dhaka even to attend the ceremony. India instructed Arora to goalone to sign the surrendering instrument wanted to establish its claim that it was a war between India and Pakistan.India denied our sacrifice in the very dawn of ourliberation. India wants to claim that our independence was a gift of India.
Those who pay homage to a looter named Arora, indirectly tune to Indian line and accept Indian claim. Mr. Hroon should have known that Indian Army celebrates the 16th December as Vijay Divas(victory day) of the Eastern command of India over Pakistan. By doing so India denies the victory day of Bangladesh. Arora was sent to invade and capture Bangladesh, to pave the way for unhindered looting and the Indian soldiers under the command of Arora did it for days. For this reason no representation was allowed in he signing ceremony. To a real patriotic Bangladesh Arora and Indian soldiers in 1971 in Bangladesh were invaders and looters not savier or liberator as claimed by Haroon Habib. Arora and his Indian associates assisted the liberation war not to liberate us, but to crush the Muslim power in the subcontinent and enslave us under Indian cage. Indian Army fought in 1971 to invade and capture Bangladesh and keep it underoccupation. I would request Mr. Haroon to collect the last interview of Indian late President Zail Singh published in the 'Sunday' magazine (now defunct) of Calcutta, where he said, that withdrawl of the Indian soldiers from Bangladesh was a blunder.
During the war of liberation I was trained in India. I was twenty years in 1971 and the Vice president of a government college student's union. I wrote and staged a drama at Halflong Camp of Assam in India.I enjoyed close confidence of many leading Awami League and Chattra League some of whom were unfortunately infiltrated by RAW to float Mujib Bahini. I rushed to Dhaka five days after the surrender to visit my elder brother's house in Kachukhat area (adjucent to Dhaka Cantonment).I personally saw the looting of the Indian soldiers. Elderly people of Dhaka of those days still alive and they can give vivid description how massive looting occurred after December 16. Those who praise India or Arora can
talk to them to get the real picture of looting. They may like to study the descriptions of looting provided by many eyewitnesses, including a Sector commander Major Abdul Jalil, who bid to deter shipment of Bangladeshi goods to India.
Jalil was arrested and put to Indian jail for his offence of obstructing the undindered plundering of Bangladeshi assets. Curfews were imposed in the name of security to coverthe looting. Indian soldiers looted whatever they got even the taps of wash basins and spoons. Harrun Habib and others, who paid homage to Arora and treat India as a friend of 1971, are well aware of the looting, but they buried those memories and evidence to secure their self-interest. I humbly request this group of people to ask their conscience a question. Where did the arms,ammunition , military vehicles , equipment, warplanes etc of Pakistan Army go? By looting the costly military hardware India crippled the nacsent Bangladesh army. India did it to make us permanently dependent on India.
Indian conspiracy did not end there. Her subsequent behaviour with Bangladesh since 1972 was more heinous and open that proves that she cannot be our real and trusted friend. The envious and inimical, expansionist and big brotherly attitude of the India for the last 34 years manifest the covert plan and design why the Aroras showed their overt friendliness in 1971. Other than plundering in 1971, India's post-'71 anti-Bangladesh steps prove that the Aroras did not help us, but made the way to exploit and squeeze us, to grab and annex us finally in their bid to make 'Akhand Bharat'. India illegally blockades the water of the international rivers during the dry season and floods Bangladesh in the rainy season to cause it
economically, ecologically and environmentally devasted. India's hidden and open role in sheltering and nursing the Bangladeshi terrorists and secessionists, creating unrest and insatiability in political and educational arenas, constructing barbed wire fence and killing inocent people along the international border, smuggling etc are some of her friendy attitude towards Bangladesh. Indian ruined our basic industries to make Bangladesh her bonded market.
Besides, the atrocities of BSF (Border Security Forces) in the border, procrastination in resolving the bilateral disputes ,violating the bilateral treaties and agreements, undue influence in the internal affairs of Bangladesh, sabotage and subversive activities, anti-Bangladesh propaganda only branded India as an unfriendly country. How all these ugly anti-Bangladesh activities could inspire a patriot to pay homage to Arora or Indira Gandhi?
But the common people of Bangladesh do not find any logic to praise the Indians. Even the illiterate Bangladeshis understand the overt and covet designs of India against Bangladesh. It is strange why some literate persons who even claim themselves as the champions and vanguards of liberation war and its spirit failed to comprehend the heinous designs of India against Bangladesh. India nurses such people in Bangladesh to implement her nefarious blueprints. I feel pity for these people.

[chottala.com] Robert Fisk: They don't blame al-Qa'ida. They blame Musharraf

 
 
Many things are done by the way of  deception --- Pakistan's ISI is notoriously expert
for using jihadists for achieving their mischevious short-term goals: Think outside the
box ...  don't be so quick to absolve Musharraf out of his criminal acts !!!
 
Robert Fisk: They don't blame al-Qa'ida. They blame Musharraf
Telltale Images: What does the regime say now? And why did it lie in the first place?

 If Musharraf regime had nothing to hide, why, why, why did it lie in the first place. See the pictures in this report which simply confirm the regime's lie about the circumstances in which Benazir was assassinated.

More interestingly, what does the pro-Musharraf regime media outlets in the West have to say about it. For example, I got a phone call from CBC for comments on the event. When the person realised that I was critical of the regime's security agencies, rather than blindly blaming it on those whom the CBC wanted to hear about, the person said he would call me in a few minutes for recording. And that was the end of it.

More truth has yet to surface. Musharraf regime had got emboldened with doing all kind of criminal activities from illegally detaining and torturing hundreds of people, to attacking political opponents (October 18, 2007 karachi, for example), planting bombs in anti-government rallies (Islamabad), booting the Supreme Court and playing with the constitution without any concrete pressure from outside at all. This time around, the regime is seriously stuck than ever before simply because of its lies.

[chottala.com] Bangladesh 1971 : Mitra Bahini or Lutera Beiman Bahini the Indian army was, that plundered our wealth

dear all,
 we all know the history of planned looting by Indian army after the surrender of pak army.Is this the  act of a real mitra or friend?
we needed their assistance, they plunder our wealth.Not only that many freedom fighter was killed by their ill strategy.
Many freedom fighters were killed as they became sandwich between fighting of pak army and mitra bahini.
Even they did not allow any freedom fighter in time of surrender of pak army.
Should such an army be called as Mitra Bahini?

[chottala.com] Re: [khabor.com] Despicable Indians raise rice export price to $500 per ton

we all should hate the inhuman act.again they proved that they are not a real friend or good neighbor

Dear All,

I thought I should share this as it confirms my comments in my earlier
email on Indian exports of rice to Bangladesh and its attempts to
influence political events in Bangladesh. The immediate effect of the
Indian actions will be to cause suffering to the people of Bangladesh
and raise the political temperature in the country in the coming
months. The question is why did not the interim Government take
precautions against this Indian duplicity –

India raises rice export price to $500 per ton

The New Nation – December 31, 2007

India in a surprised move has raised export price of rice to
Bangladesh to US$ 500 per ton, equivalent to Tk 35kg, rendering the
import from the neighbouring country uncertain.

Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) of Indian Commerce Ministry
in a notification that came into force on Sunday said no rice can be
exported to Bangladesh at price less than US$ 500 per ton.

Customs officials at the Benapole land port told UNB that India jacked
up the rice export price for the third time during this year - first
in February to 315 dollars, the second in October to 425 dollars and
now to 500 dollars per ton.

No consignment of rice purchased under L/Cs at previous price was
allowed to pass through the Petrapole land port. Barely 1,000 tons for
which L/C was opened before October and the Indian authorities agreed
to release arrived at Benapole port today.

Importers declined to open fresh L/C for import of rice at the
abnormal high price. They estimated that the landing cost of Indian
rice at the enhanced price would come to around Tk 38 or 39 per kilogram.

Mohammad Nasiruddin of Kazi Enterprise at Jessore, a rice importer,
viewed the Indian action as "an indirect pressure upon Bangladesh". He
said exporters in Burdwan, West Bengal, informed him that they could
easily sell quality rice to Bangladesh at 450 dollars per ton.

A senior customs official said no consignment of five lakh tons of
rice Indian pledged to sell has arrived till today. Indian External
Affairs Minister Pranob Mukherjee visiting Bangladesh in the wake of
November 15 devastating cyclone had committed that his government
would sell 5 lakh tons of rice to Bangladesh as a gesture of goodwill.

Dear All,

I thought I should share this as it confirms my comments in my earlier
email on Indian exports of rice to Bangladesh and its attempts to
influence political events in Bangladesh. The immediate effect of the
Indian actions will be to cause suffering to the people of Bangladesh
and raise the political temperature in the country in the coming
months. The question is why did not the interim Government take
precautions against this Indian duplicity –

India raises rice export price to $500 per ton

The New Nation – December 31, 2007

India in a surprised move has raised export price of rice to
Bangladesh to US$ 500 per ton, equivalent to Tk 35kg, rendering the
import from the neighbouring country uncertain.

Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) of Indian Commerce Ministry
in a notification that came into force on Sunday said no rice can be
exported to Bangladesh at price less than US$ 500 per ton.

Customs officials at the Benapole land port told UNB that India jacked
up the rice export price for the third time during this year - first
in February to 315 dollars, the second in October to 425 dollars and
now to 500 dollars per ton.

No consignment of rice purchased under L/Cs at previous price was
allowed to pass through the Petrapole land port. Barely 1,000 tons for
which L/C was opened before October and the Indian authorities agreed
to release arrived at Benapole port today.

Importers declined to open fresh L/C for import of rice at the
abnormal high price. They estimated that the landing cost of Indian
rice at the enhanced price would come to around Tk 38 or 39 per
kilogram.

Mohammad Nasiruddin of Kazi Enterprise at Jessore, a rice importer,
viewed the Indian action as "an indirect pressure upon Bangladesh". He
said exporters in Burdwan, West Bengal, informed him that they could
easily sell quality rice to Bangladesh at 450 dollars per ton.

A senior customs official said no consignment of five lakh tons of
rice Indian pledged to sell has arrived till today. Indian External
Affairs Minister Pranob Mukherjee visiting Bangladesh in the wake of
November 15 devastating cyclone had committed that his government
would sell 5 lakh tons of rice to Bangladesh as a gesture of goodwill.

[chottala.com] The state of the our professionals and way foreward: A new years resolution for

The state of the our professionals and way foreward: A new years resolution for ACC
There has been a continued jihad against corruption, primarily targeted against politicians and businessman. Year 2008 should be a time when the commission extends its reach.
 
There is a saying in Bangla - thhog bachte ga ujar. This is very applicable in case of the current fight against corruption.
 
It is the same reason that government is consciously trying to keep a lid on this effort so that - it does not in fact empty the village. After all, it has to be recognized that corruption is an economy - it can not always be confronted on the legal and moral front. However, we want to emphasize one point here. Among the population, there is a segment of it which has been kept out of the reach of ACC drive. That is professionals.
 
Namely, we would like to emphasize three groups of professionals. University Teachers, Engineers and Journalists.
 
ACC should focus on these three profesional group and among them, it should pick at least 10 big culprits and prosecute. These cases should be treated as symbolic which would work as tonic for others in the profession. Public sentiment er upor vor kore tu onek gula dukaisen. One year has passed - almost. Now is time to show that you have grown some teeth. Its a challenge for you guys in the ACC, show us your teeth. Pick up 30 professionals from these three professional groups.
 
But one specific note: Try to get a arrest warrant when you go to pick them up, if you can. Take some time, make your case and go pick them up. You will do a big service to the nation. If you can really do prosecute 30 such symbolic cases, that will go a long way.
 
Just as an example, following is an editorial from todays press. It gives a good picture of one of the group that we focused on.
 
 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 columinsts in regular traditional media, 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,
Innovation Line

Question paper leakage
What's happening in DU Political Science Department?

Once again, another scam of despicable nature at the Political Science Department of Dhaka University has come to light. This time it is the allegation of leakage of question papers of the MSS examination 2005, which found their way to the students who were getting ready to take the exam. What is most shameful is that the leaked questions were seen to be up for sale at various student halls on the campus. The VC of the university has reportedly verified the incident, and as usual, has ordered for the formation of an 'investigation committee to find out how the questions were leaked and who are responsible for it.' We find the incident condemnable.

What is going on at the Political Science Department of Dhaka University? We have actually asked this question a number of times in last one year since the most incredible news of over fifty students getting first class in the honours examination hit the headlines. It was an unprecedented feat, which renowned academics of the country had found difficult to comprehend. Immediately with the publication of the results, allegations of favouring some students including political party cadres began to surface in the media. But, despite public furore over the issue for some months, no plausible answer emerged from the administration to satisfy curious minds. The department came under the limelight once again when news of students admitted with fake documents began to be flashed in large fonts across dailies and weeklies. Following investigation, a number of students have been identified who allegedly in cahoots with a section of faculties and administrative staff managed to get admission in the said department. And now the latest scandal with regard to leakage of question papers puts the competence, transparency and accountability of the people from top to bottom in the department under question mark. We feel this time it has gone too far to accept.

It is high time the DU authorities took people's reaction into consideration and launched a thorough investigation into the alleged malpractices going on in the Political Science Department. We believe the public has the right to know who are operating from behind to malign the good name of Dhaka University.
