Re: [chottala.com] Attention drawn to Mr Rashed Khan Menon & Mr A.H Monju.

Attention drawn to Mr Rashed Khan Menon & Mr A.H Monju.

News read in NY Bangla that you have told in Bangladeshi community meeting "11/1 has come on the international conspiracy".

If it is true then

Are you the agents in Bangladesh of the International conspiracy authority for creating the situation to come 11/1 in Bangladesh??

Causes it is seen & known that 11/1 has come due to the nonsense & stupid activities  & road fighting of The Bangladeshi Political activists & political leaders of whom among them you are also the persons for creating situation for coming 1/11.

On creating this horrible situation in Bangladesh there was no seen any internatonal people on the road for doing road fighting for doing closing breaking burning works expect you the Bangladeshi politicians.

So it is now easily understood & can be told that you are the agents of the international  conspirators for creating problems & disaster in Bangladesh.

Is it not correct?? .

[chottala.com] Long voice of the theif Dr. Kamal

কামাল হোসেন ১০২ কোটি টাকা সাদা করেছেন

 

হাসিনার তথ্য প্রকাশ

কামাল হোসেন ১০২ কোটি টাকা সাদা করেছেন

কামাল বললেন নো কমেন্টস

স্টাফ রিপোর্টার : কারাবন্দি আওয়ামী লীগ সভানেত্রী শেখ হাসিনা জানতে চেয়েছেন, গণফোরাম সভাপতি ডক্টর কামাল হোসেনের কালো টাকার উৎস কি? এ টাকাই বা রেখেছেন কোথায়? তার মতে, ১০২ কোটি টাকা সাদা করেছেন কামাল হোসেন। গতকাল বিশেষ আদালতে শেখ হাসিনা সাংবাদিকদের কাছে এ তথ্য প্রকাশ করেন। সন্ধ্যায় আইনজীবী কামাল হোসেনের মন্তব্য জানতে চাইলে তিনি মানবজমিনকে বলেন, নো কমেন্টস। শেখ হাসিনা বলেন, ড. কামাল সম্পর্কে অনেক কিছুই জানি। দুর্নীতির মাধ্যমে তিনি কালো টাকা অর্জন করেছেন। সে টাকা পরবর্তী সময়ে সাদা করেছেন। আসলে যারা দুর্নীতি করেন তাদের কিছু হয় না। আমরা দুর্নীতি করিনি, তারপরও আমাদেরকে জোর করে দুর্নীতিবাজ বানানোর চেষ্টা করা হচ্ছে। জনগণ অবশ্যই একদিন দুর্নীতিবাজদের বিচার করবেন। উল্লেখ্য, মাত্র একদিন আগে ড. কামাল হোসেন বলেছিলেন, যারা দুর্নীতিবাজদের পক্ষ নিচ্ছে, তাদেরও বিচার হওয়া উচিত। কামাল হোসেন অভিযোগ খণ্ডন না করে 'নো কমেন্টস' বলায় সংশয় তৈরি হয়েছে।
http://www.manabzamin.net/page1.htm
 
Why kamal don't dare to comments?
 
 

ড. কামাল হোসেন কালো টাকার মালিক। কালো টাকার মালিকদের নির্বাচনে অযোগ্য ঘোষণা করার আন্দোলনের প্রবক্তা হয়েও তিনি ২০০৬-০৭ অর্থ বছরে আড়াই কোটি টাকার বেশি কালো টাকা সাদা করেছেন। ২০০৪-০৫ অর্থ বছরে তিনি তার প্রদর্শিত আয় দেখিয়েছেন মাত্র ১৫ লাখ ২২ হাজার ৯৯৯ টাকা। আর নেট সম্পত্তি দেখিয়েছেন মাত্র ৩৩ লাখ ৫১ হাজার ৯৬৭ টাকা। ২০০৫-০৬ অর্থ বছরে প্রদর্শিত আয় দেখিয়েছেন ৭ লাখ ৬৮ হাজার ২২১ টাকা। নেট সম্পদ দেখিয়েছেন ৭৭ লাখ ৮ হাজার ৮৪ টাকা। তার মতো একজন আইনজীবী দেশ, জাতি ও সরকারের সঙ্গে এমন প্রতারণা করতে পারেন এটা বিশ্বাস করতে কষ্ট হয়।
আশির দশকের একশ এক ছাত্র নেতার অভিযোগ
কেউই আইনের ঊর্ধ্বে নয়, এসব অভিযোগ সত্য হলে আমারও বিচার হওয়া উচিত। আমাকে চিরদিনের জন্য রাজনীতি থেকে নির্বাসনে পাঠানো উচিত। সকলেরই বাকস্বাধীনতা আছে। সুতরাং তারা (ছাত্রনেতারা) বলতেই পারেন। তবে তথ্য-প্রমাণ ছাড়া বললে সে ক্ষেত্রে মানহানি কিংবা লাইবেলের বিষয়টি আমার দিক থেকে আমিও বিচার করবো। তাই যারা এমন অভিযোগ করেছেন তারা মিথ্যা কথা বলে আমাকে হেয় করার চেষ্টা করলে মানহানির দায়ে আইনের কাছে জবাব দেয়ার জন্য তাদের প্রস্তুত থাকা উচিত।
ড. কামাল হোসেন
একশ এক ছাত্রনেতার অভিযোগের জবাবে
 
Is Dr. kamal ready to sue them? more than onemonth has passed?


হে আল্লাহ, অত্যাচারী,প্রতিক্রিয়শীল মঈনের অদক্ষ আর তাবেদার

Re: [chottala.com] Re: [notun_bangladesh] Muslims deserve to live in America/ Azad' harb

Mr Azad/ editors (Nutun Bangla/ Chottola):
 
Subject: Mr. Azad's Dar-ul- harb 
 
I don't understand why Mr. Azad has to bring up some medieval terms "darul harb" or "darl Alam" to understand something even most Muslims are not familiar with today. It is plain and simple that most Muslims in America after they receive their citizenship take it as their own country. If you remember the Muslim American man whose family was informed of him first as being a terrorist at the 9/11 attack was informed later, after the video search that when everybody was fleeing from the scene to safety, he ran toward the direction of the building to save his fellow American human lives. He died at the scene. There are many other instances. I hope Mr Azad should stop his nonsense knowledge of him to the so called sense of darul harb or darl Alam.
   
 I know many people who write against Islam on the net take Muslim names to hide their real identity and try to make their points stronger. I am not sure if Mr, AbdurRahim Azad has a different name. I am not a practicing Muslim myself, but I didn't know that there is an actual word "Murtab" -'boot-leacker slave idea' mentioned in Muslim history. But I very much doubt that Mr. AbdurRahim Azad is a Murtab himself. I can sense him as our " xenophobic" anti-Muslim "Dada." They (like Ram Mohan Roy who dressed like a Muslim, now some Ram Mohans) keep a Muslim name, and would even use Muslim vocubalaries as Ram Mohan in his time spoke in Persian. He has been a symbolic so-called progressive dada) 
 
I may be wrong about this gentleman. But my suspecion grew when I had used the word "dada" in one of my writings which hurt him badly. By the way "dada" is a way of criticizing the "big brotherly" notorious "Zamindari xenophobic" attitude of the West Bengali absentee zamindars who were ruling East Bengal. Some others of their kind were also negatively known in Bangladesh as the "Nababs." These were the boot-leackers of the British and the former were fundementalist Hindus but for their anti-Muslim attitudes branded themselves as the "humanists," secularists" and the "progressives." You will find this type of chauvinism and the so-called progressive attitude in the vocabularies of the present premier of West Bengal. Watch his statements about Bangladesh in West Bengali newsmedias. He often time refers to Bangladesh as a terrorist state. The dadas of the Ananda Bazar Potrika group in Calcutta keep the flames of this anti-Muslim Bangladesh among most of the the peace-loving Indians. Buddhadev dada was a good friend of another boot-leacker, and dada-lover Taslima Nasrin originally from Bangladesh.  
 
 If we have to see the gentleman "Azad" as a humanist, I myself as a reader of the Nutun Bangla/ Chottla, and here Abdur Rahman Azad as a contributer, would like to ask the editors to demand from him his short cv; at least where he is located and what he does for living. I am sure most of us don't want to communicate with a ghost here! I believe that is a fair thing to ask for. As a matter of courtesy, the gentleman can voluntarily let them know/ us know before he is asked for it.

Muslims deserve to live in America

 

 

NB: This is a response to those who are trying to incite Christians against Muslims to expel Muslims from the soil of America, as though America is their paternal property!

 

 

Muslims have more moral right to live in America than Atheists, Izlamic Murtads (a.k.a. bootlicker slaves) and any other religious group because of the following logical reasons:

 

- America is essentially a Christian nation, and majority of Americans believe in Creator and the existence of Jesus. Muslims do believe in the same. In fact, Islam is the ONLY non-Christian religion which makes an article of faith to believe in Jesus. On the other hand, Atheists and Izlamic Murtads do not believe in Creator neither do they believe in Jesus. Moreover, Atheists, Idolaters, Polytheists and blasphemers of Creator have been condemned to death in the Bible [Deuteronomy 17:3-5, 13:6-15; 2 Chronicles 15:13, Leviticus 24:16, etc.]! According to Bible, they are infidel and as such deserve to be killed!

 

- Quran is the ONLY non-Christian scripture in the world where Jesus and Mary have been honored with very high regard [3:42, 5:46, Chapter 3, Chapter 19 on Mary, etc.], good Christians have been praised with respect [3:113-115, 5:65-66, 5:82, etc.], and they have also been offered salvation if they follow their own scriptures [5:69, 5:65-66, 3:113-115, 2:62, etc.]. 

 

- Majority of reverts to Islam come from Christian background, especially from America and Britain. It's a fact.

 

Note-1: The verses 5:51 and 3:28 refer to terrorist and intolerant Christians, not ALL. See the verses 5:57-59 and 60:7-9 for clarification.

 

Note-2: Majority of Christians do not follow the true teachings of Jesus. For example: Jesus himself never claimed to be God; He never preached irrational doctrine like original sin and Trinity; He never told his followers to worship him; In fact, he used to pray to God the way Muslims do [Matthew 26:39, 14:23]; and so on. According to Bible, he was a man [Acts 2:22] and a Prophet [Matthew 21:11, Luke 24:19]. That's exactly what Muslims believe about Jesus.    

 

Considering the above facts, Muslims have much more moral right to live in America and Britain than any other non-Christian group in the world.

 

 

PS: I do not live in America.

তিন কারণে বিএনপির ঐক্য হওয়ার আপাতত কোনো সুযোগ ও সম্ভাবনা নেই!


আজাহার আলী সরকার: এক. বিএনপির ঐক্য হলে খালেদা জিয়া শক্তিশালী হতে পারে। দুই. ঐক্যবদ্ধ বিএনপি কোনো কারণে সংসদ নির্বাচনে সহযোগিতা না করলে এই সরকারের বিপর্যয় ঘটতে পারে। তিন. ঐক্যবদ্ধ বিএনপি আগামী নির্বাচনে অংশগ্রহণের মাধ্যমে ভালো ফলাফল লাভ করতে পারে বলে ধারণা করছেন সরকারের একটি প্রভাবশালী মহল। এসব কারণেই বিশেষ মহলটি চাইছে, বিএনপি নেতাদের ঐক্য ঠেকাতে। ফলে বিএনপির ঐক্য হওয়ার আপাতত কোনো সুযোগ এবং সম্ভাবনা নেই বলে ধারণা করছেন রাজনৈতিক বিশ্লেষকরা।
যদিও বিভক্ত বিএনপিকে একত্রিত করতে আবারও মাঠে নামছেন দলের প্রবীণ নেতারা। এর নেতৃত্বে রয়েছেন স্পিকার ব্যারিস্টার জমিরউদ্দিন সরকার এবং বিএনপি স্থায়ী কমিটির সদস্য সাবেক সেনাপ্রধান লেফটেন্যান্ট জেনারেল মাহবুবুর রহমান। এ কাজের সূচনা হিসেবে তাদের পক্ষ থেকে আলাদাভাবে যোগাযোগ ও আলোচনা শুরু হয়েছে। স্পিকার জমিরউদ্দিন গত দুদিন জেনারেল মাহবুবকে ফোন করে ২৯ অক্টোবরে বিএনপির স্থায়ী কমিটির গৃহীত সিদ্ধান্ত বাতিল করে ঐক্যের কথা বলেছেন। জেনারেল মাহবুব, স্পিকারের মাধ্যমে শর্তহীনভাবে ঐক্যের আলোচনায় খালেদাপন্থীদের বসার অনুরোধ জানিয়েছেন। সূত্রমতে, তারা উভয়ে নিজ গ্র"পের স্বার্থে কোনো ছাড় দিতে রাজি হননি। আজকালের মধ্যে তাদের আবারও যোগাযোগ বা আলোচনা হতে পারে বলে সংশ্লিষ্ট সূত্র জানিয়েছে। প্রাথমিকভাবে এই আলোচনা বা যোগাযোগের কাজ আগামী ৪৮ ঘণ্টায় শেষ করা হতে পারে। আলোচনা ফলপ্রসূ হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা থাকলে এই সময়ের মধ্যেই কারাবন্দি বিএনপি চেয়ারপারসন খালেদা জিয়ার অনুমতি নিয়ে জরুরিভাবে স্থায়ী কমিটির একটি বৈঠকও অনুষ্ঠিত হতে পারে।
এই বৈঠকে খালেদাপন্থী গ্র"পের মহাসচিব খন্দকার দেলোয়ার হোসেন এবং স্থায়ী কমিটি মনোনীত মহাসচিব মেজর (অব.) হাফিজউদ্দিন আহমেদের উপস্থিত থাকার সম্ভাবনা কম। তবে চূড়ান্ত সিদ্ধান্ত গ্রহণ করার আগে তাদের দুজনের বক্তব্য রাখার সুযোগের বিষয়টি বিবেচনা করা হতে পারে।
সূত্রমতে, কোনোভাবে বিএনপি ঐক্যবদ্ধ হলে আগামীতে খন্দকার দেলোয়ার হোসেন এবং হাফিজ দলের মহাসচিব পদে বহাল থাকছেন না। তাদের পরিবর্তে অন্য কাউকে অস্থায়ীভাবে অল্পদিনের জন্য মহাসচিবের দায়িত্ব দেয়া হতে পারে। আর তাদের দুজনকেই স্থায়ী কমিটির সদস্যের মতোই গুরুত্ব দিয়ে মূল্যায়ন করা হতে পারে বলে বিএনপির নীতিনির্ধারণী মহলের সংশ্লিষ্ট একটি সূত্রে জানা গেছে।

[chottala.com] Rationalizing Fuel Price: So far a half done act

Rationalizing Fuel Price: So far a half done act
If you have hundred taka to give subsidy, whom do you give it to? A labourer to buy food or a private car owner worried about rising fuel price? Also, don't treat fuel and fertiliser similarly. Why, would you ask?


The way we are going to open this article may seem like dramatizing, but it is not. We will come to the point - in the later part.
 
All fuels should be brought into market price. All means all - petrol, diesel, cng, everytihng.
 
Also, do not tie this policy with the price of fertiliser, even though they are related. We hope to deal that issue separately at a later date.
 
So, if all the prices of fuel is left to catch up the market price and more importantly, to fluctuate, then how it is going to affect the lives of people and how will that influence the macro-economic stability? Just to highlight the issue, let us give an illustraion here:
 
FBCCI President Anisul Huq spends probably less than one percent of his income on the fuel cost for his private car. However, the fuel that he buys for his car is also subsidized by the Bangladeshi taxpayers! And if the fuel price increases to reflect the international market price and the price fluctuates, it will not be a problem for Mr. Huq or people like him.
 
Now consider the situation of the worker who work in one of the garment factory that Mr. Huq owns or any other workers for that matter. What percent of their income they spend on transportation? Also, if you consider the situation of a government official who does not take bribe, how does the price increase of fuel affect (if the person has one or two school/college going children, the situation also worsens).
 
Also, consider the another two illustrations - from the perspective of input into production system. What happens if the price of electricity or fuel goes up? Do that create an existential problem for Mr. Huq's businesses? Probably not. It will cut into his margin probably, but he will be afloat doing business and at the same time will be self-respectful since he as a rich man do not take subsidy from the poor people of the country. I am sure, people like Mr. Huq has good intensions for the general people in the heart. However, we do not know for sure yet.
 
How about the other input - price of diesel and electricity affects the farmers, too. If these prices doubles, what happens to this farmer?
 
 
We have tried to illustrate constrasts in two different scenarios of fuel price increase - one as transportation cost and another as input to production system. These contrasts has to be taken into affect and address the concerns.
 
Listening to the IMF as they say it would not solve your problem. I do not know what they have in their mind (it can't be something good!). However, we can say this safely - they always suggest something that is easy for them.
 
Solving a problem is not an easy thing - specifically when you do policy making. The problem of our older generation is that when it comes to the choice between "doing it easy way" and "doing it right way", they have so far chosen the first option. But they need to learn doing it right way - even if that is imperfect, comlex and hard to implement. When something is hard to implement, that is good - because that will create more employement. Don't know what I am talking about? Think - you will know. Or send us a message, we can elaborate the details for you peoples.
 
Just to illustrate a problem, please allow us to describe one thing. Dr. Tamim is now the Energy Adviser, isn't it? But before that, what he used to do? He was a senior teacher in his faculty/department, or least he is not a junior teacher who doesn't have any say in policy making. Lets see what do they do in BUET as far as policy making. In other universities, there is always problem with elections when it comes to the choice of dean and chairman of different faculty and department. However, in BUET, there is usually no election. Thats should be a good thing you would think - since BUET could follow an international standard method of choosing a department chair or a faculty dean. But that is very complex method and it needs to practice judgement on the part of senior teachers. So, BUET teachers do not go that way - why? Because it is complex, to say the least. Off course, there are other issues beyond the scope of this discussion. So, how do they choose chairman or dean in BUET, you must be thinking. Its funny - they have a rule of rotation - every tenured professor in the department will become both chairman and/or dean - even though we know that many people do know a thing about managing a department or a faculty. But still, they have this rule. Why? Because, it is easy for them to implement. By doing that they have compromised a very basic thing about the development of a university - that is competence and use of merit. So, what do you expect from a guy like Dr. Tamim? Its much easier for him to go for the easiest choie - which is treat all of those above-mentioned scenario equally. That will make his job easier, isn't it? Who cares about competence, merit, good of the people, good of the institution? After all, most of our experts in our country becomes expert by memorizing text-books! May be its our problem that we expect too much from these professors, secretaries and other professionals.
 
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.

Gas, Fuel, Fertiliser
Subsidies at this rate should not continue further
Says finance adviser
Unb, Dhaka
 

Finance Adviser Mirza Azizul Islam yesterday said subsidies on gas, fuel and fertiliser at the present rate should not continue further as such incentives have long-term adverse effects on economy.

He admitted that there would be some sufferings from the latest hike of compressed natural gas (CNG) price.

"Indeed, there will be some sufferings from CNG price-hike. But how long will you continue to give subsidies on some materials like gas, fuel and fertiliser?" the finance adviser said.

He was talking to journalists on the sidelines of a seminar "Official Statistics: Collection and Dissemination" arranged by Bangladesh Statistical Association at the National Economic Council (NEC) auditorium in the morning.

Presided over by Statistical Association President Prof Quazi Mafizur Rahman, the seminar was also addressed by association vice-president Prof Samad Abedin and secretary general Abdur Rashid Sikder.

The finance adviser said at the beginning of this fiscal year, some Tk 6,000 crore had been allocated as subsidy. But later, the government had to increase the amount of subsidy to Tk 15,000 crore.

Asked whether the price-hike of CNG is timely, he said, "No time is good enough. If the price of CNG was not increased, then the government would have been forced to realise the extra expenses (of subsidy) through increasing tax or through deficit budget."

Aziz said prices of many things like gas or other fuels are many times lower in Bangladesh than the neighbouring countries.

Addressing the seminar as chief guest, the finance adviser urged the Bangladesh Statistical Association to come up with "timely, reliable and objective statistics without being politically influenced."

Without authentic data, no development project can be implemented successfully, he said.

Mr. Ahumanb
 
Can you tell us if we should consider USA, a Darul Islam or a Darul Harb ?
 
I have been told by a Maulana friend of mine who lives in America that it is
the best place in the world to practice Islam for the individuals in the truest sense.
 
USA  has a very well defined policy of freedom of religion  and  freedom to practice religion.
 
There is no grand scheme to expel Muslims from the soil of America .....
 
The number of Mosjids grew 10-folds during last 20 years. Ramnents of racism
do exist in America and there are some resistance to the new commers by the
neocons and other vested groups. But those are no where close to point the
the Catholics, Chinese, and Japanease  and even Jews were treated in 19th
and 20th century. The America treats new commer muslims lot better
than we treat non-muslims and Biharis in Bangladesh,  in general.

Muslims deserve to live in America

 

 

NB: This is a response to those who are trying to incite Christians against Muslims to expel Muslims from the soil of America, as though America is their paternal property!

 

 

Muslims have more moral right to live in America than Atheists, Izlamic Murtads (a.k.a. bootlicker slaves) and any other religious group because of the following logical reasons:

 

- America is essentially a Christian nation, and majority of Americans believe in Creator and the existence of Jesus. Muslims do believe in the same. In fact, Islam is the ONLY non-Christian religion which makes an article of faith to believe in Jesus. On the other hand, Atheists and Izlamic Murtads do not believe in Creator neither do they believe in Jesus. Moreover, Atheists, Idolaters, Polytheists and blasphemers of Creator have been condemned to death in the Bible [Deuteronomy 17:3-5, 13:6-15; 2 Chronicles 15:13, Leviticus 24:16, etc.]! According to Bible, they are infidel and as such deserve to be killed!

 

- Quran is the ONLY non-Christian scripture in the world where Jesus and Mary have been honored with very high regard [3:42, 5:46, Chapter 3, Chapter 19 on Mary, etc.], good Christians have been praised with respect [3:113-115, 5:65-66, 5:82, etc.], and they have also been offered salvation if they follow their own scriptures [5:69, 5:65-66, 3:113-115, 2:62, etc.]. 

 

- Majority of reverts to Islam come from Christian background, especially from America and Britain. It's a fact.

 

Note-1: The verses 5:51 and 3:28 refer to terrorist and intolerant Christians, not ALL. See the verses 5:57-59 and 60:7-9 for clarification.

 

Note-2: Majority of Christians do not follow the true teachings of Jesus. For example: Jesus himself never claimed to be God; He never preached irrational doctrine like original sin and Trinity; He never told his followers to worship him; In fact, he used to pray to God the way Muslims do [Matthew 26:39, 14:23]; and so on. According to Bible, he was a man [Acts 2:22] and a Prophet [Matthew 21:11, Luke 24:19]. That's exactly what Muslims believe about Jesus.    

 

Considering the above facts, Muslims have much more moral right to live in America and Britain than any other non-Christian group in the world.

 

 

PS: I do not live in America.
