[chottala.com] Imagine A World Without Islam! - Graham Fuller, former Vice-Chairman of CIA

Attention
Mr Fakhruddin 's CTG, the non political care taker Government  backed by  the  members  of country's non political care taker party 97% of 150 millions Bangladeshi people is requested to study the nonsense activities  created by the so called students  activits in the education area for lawful law making action...
 
This is a great nonsense example of the country's  nonsense politicians for destroying the country's academic atmosphere in the educational area  which is preventing very painfully for creating efficient educated leaders by making their respective students wing with the illiterate youth in the name of doing nasty student party politics.
 
CTG needs to make rules for banning student's party politics in the educational area. 
CTG also needs to make rules for the persons who want to contest local body election can not do party politics.
Rules also need to make any body can not contest MP election before 3 years after joining any political party politics

this is a great nonsense example of the country's  nonsense ploticians for destroying the country's academic atmosphere in the educational area  which is preventing very painfull for creating efficient educated leaders by making their respective students wing with the illiterate youth in the name of doing nasty  student politics.
CTG needs to ban student's politics in the educational area.

Prothom Alo and Amardesh published same picture with different captions. Prothom Alo doesn't identify them, whereas Amardesh says they are BCL activists.
Nayadiganta reminds us most terrible story on 28 October 2006.
Daily Star and its news report on student clashes in Dhaka Polytechnic institute.
The report says quote:
Clashes between the activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Islami Chhatra Shibir over a trifling matter overnight left at least 40 students injured in Dhaka Polytechnic Institute yesterday.Male students had to leave hostels by 5:00pm following orders from the authorities. Hundreds of them had to put up with huge inconvenience for having to vacate dormitories at short notice.

 During the fight that began the previous night and continued intermittently till 1:30pm, workers of both BCL and Shibir, the student wings of Awami League and Jamaat-e-Islami, damaged over 10 classrooms and at least 50 dorm rooms, said witnesses
. When a first-year student involved in Shibir politics sat on one of the chairs set aside for the second-year students in the dining room of Latif Hostel at 8:30pm Saturday, Chhatra League activists gave him a beating. In the fallout, a group of Shibir men attacked BCL leader Shahin's room at around 11:00pm, leaving him seriously injured. Shortly afterwards, BCL activists damaged at least four rooms belonging to Shibir activists. The situation came under control after police took position inside the halls and students went to sleep.

Early in the morning yesterday, around 400 workers of BCL gathered in front of Latif Hostel. They brought out procession on the campus, vandalised vehicles plying the Tongi Diversion Road. They also blockaded the road in front of the institute for over half an hour.

Brandishing knives, machetes, and hockey sticks, Shibir and BCL men chased and counter-chased each other for hours. In presence of law enforcers, they beat up their rivals and damaged their rooms. Of the injured, 30 are Shibir activists while 10 BCL. Six of those wounded were undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

The melee caused panic among the general students who locked themselves in the rooms.

Shibir men had to be taken out of the campus under police escort as the Chhatra League workers were waiting outside. unquote
The pictures in the Daily Star show the police calming down Shibir boys in the hostel gate, police asking the Shibir boys to leave the hostel and in another the BCL students chasng the Shibir boys .The report in the Star I find reasonably balanced .
The report in Naya Diganta shows the repeat of 28th October inhuman action again on Shibir boys.Any one can see naya Diganta picture in the first page.There is need for voluntary reform of political behavior of most  political parties and their student wings. Some parties have created so much hatred against others that brutality is becoming endemic in the students and many political people.This is dangerous for a harmonious and peaceful society.

[chottala.com] Disabled woman honored for her contributions to society

THANKS

Disabled woman honored for her contributions to society

Posted in: News Varieties
Written By: Eman al-Jarady
Article Date: Jan 22, 2008 - 4:20:22 AM

Jamalh al-Bedhani talks with a disabled child.
Jamalh al-Bedhani, the Head of the Challenge Association for Physically Disabled Women, was honored last week by the Basmati Center for Service and Development (BCSD) as one of the leading Arabic citizens for her outstanding work in developments for the disabled.

Al-Bedhani's Challenge Association aims to help disabled women and offer them all the services necessary for their daily life and work. There are more than 1,100 disabled women who belong to this association. Al-Bedhani also plans to establish a city, the first of its kind in the Middle East, which caters specifically to the needs of the disabled. The city will be ready to receive disabled citizens in three years. 

BCSD asked those bodies concerned for recommendations of people who deserved to be honored and they were told that al-Bedhani really deserved this prize because of her wonderful work. Al-Bedhani said that she feels she was chosen because of her work helping disabled women in Yemen and enabling them to become effective members of the community. 

"They said that my work has really affected the community and left an amazing impression," said al-Bedhani. "We have managed to make these people enthusiastic." She said that the real honor for her is to see the result of her work among disabled people and to see them happy, giving them a ray of hope for the future. "When I see the smiles on people's faces, I feel very happy; I feel that I have done something for this community," she said.

Al-Bedhani said that people now praise her work because they know that she is doing something for their daughters, but that this was not always the case. "When I started working in this field, many people laughed at me and said that I could not run such an association because I am myself disabled. But now I feel it is different and people praise my work and that makes me really happy. To me, that is the real honor. When I was recognized, I felt that people were really happy for me and they clapped strongly for me. At that moment, I felt that people really knew who al-Bedhani was."

"It was a real honor for me when I was asked to choose one of my disabled colleagues who works in my association. I feel that I helped these women to succeed in their lives and to become effective members of society." She said that she feels that she helped these girls to become optimistic instead of being depressed and losing hope in their lives. Being disabled, being female, being poor - these are all factors making women in our community suffer, she added.

"I feel that my message has been understood in the minds of all people," al-Bedhani said. "It is not only me who made this association successful, but all those who have worked and helped me to realize the association's goals."

This is the tenth time that al-Bedhani has received special recognition for her work. Among various other honors, in 2006 she was chosen by a development foundation from Abu Dhabi as an Arabic woman who has made significant contributions in the field of development and to the improvement of her community.
