[chottala.com] Two editorials : who is susil in true sense?

Release on bail should not
affect corruption trials

TARIQUE Rahman, senior joint secretary general of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and son of former prime minister Khaleda Zia, was released on bail Wednesday following days of intense speculation about the timing and manner of his eventual release. We are pleased that Tarique was released through what appears to have been a proper judicial process in that the High Court granted him bail in all the cases that have been lodged against him. Moreover, from the point of view that the release of Tarique on bail will enable him to seek necessary treatment for his ailments, we feel that the release was warranted. We have repeatedly argued over the course of the last year and a half that those arrested in normally bailable cases ought to be allowed to seek bail from the courts and that the courts should be allowed to give independent judgement on the bail applications. Denying detainees the right to apply for bail, which this military-controlled government has attempted to do through the promulgation of the Emergency Powers Rules, is not only unnecessary in our view but a direct affront to the separation of powers and the rule of law.
   What we feel was unwarranted, however, were the scenes of jubilation and euphoria among a section of political leaders and activists at the release of the BNP leader, mirroring the euphoric celebrations that followed the release of the Awami League president, Sheikh Hasina, some months ago. While we understand that party leaders and workers of both the BNP and the Awami League have valid grievances against this regime, particularly with regard to the treatment of their senior leaders, many of whom have allegedly been harassed and even tortured in custody, they must remember that the leaders at whose release they now celebrate have been indicted and are awaiting trial in serious cases of corruption and abuse of power. Therefore, it is only right that these political leaders be tried for their alleged crimes by competent courts of law in a transparent manner. Any attempt by the parties to use their political muscle to have these leaders unconditionally released after being indicted is neither desirable nor endorsable. Whatever the grievances and however justified, the major political parties will do a great disservice to this country and its people if they use their political power in such a way as to spare their leaders from being tried by competent courts, which is exactly what they appear to be trying to do.
   At the same time, this regime must understand that the right to seek, and thereby be granted, bail in normally bailable cases should be afforded to all yet-to-be-convicted detainees equally and not just to the top leaders and their family members. This is all the more so for detainees who are suffering from different ailments and require better treatment than that they are afforded by the jail authorities. Hence, we urge this regime to allow all prisoners indicted in normally bailable cases to seek and be granted bail without the regime putting arbitrary obstacles in their way.

 
Editorial
Let the rule of law not be blighted
 

TARIQUE Rahman's situation has been hogging media attention for some days now. In the beginning it was his health and subsequently it was the issue of his bail that became the subject of intense speculation. There was a judicial ruling for his release on bail for purposes of treatment abroad. For whatever it is worth, the fact remains that Tarique Rahman has been a man shrouded in controversy ever since he joined politics. His behind the scenes role in the last government led by his mother and his not so behind the scenes role through Hawa Bhaban earned him unhealthy notoriety over the past few years.

As one of the key figures of the last regime, his arrest came as no surprise to the nation. His name became associated with corruption, especially along with that of some of his cronies. With his release on bail yesterday, an unhappy chapter of his life -- that of being in prison -- comes to a respite for the moment. His cases remain and will naturally, so goes the public expectation, follow the course of the law. The fact of the matter is that Tarique Rahman was in custody for a long period of eighteen months. There can be little question that such a length of time is good enough for investigations of any worth to be launched and concluded in substantive fashion. By that measure or standard, all the investigations into the cases as well as a prosecution of the cases against Tarique Rahman should have ended on their own merit by now.

There are speculations as to his immediate plans. It is rumoured that he will go abroad for treatment and stay away from the country for a while. It is widely rumoured that some behind the scenes maneuvering may have gone into Tarique Rahman's release. What the alleged deal has been is something we do not know. We do realise, though, that such maneouvres can blight the credibility of the legal process and there will be others all too ready and willing to take advantage of such a course. We firmly believe, though, that such things will not come to pass. In the interest of rule of law and the future of democracy, it will remain the hope of the nation that the line between politics and due process of law will not be blurred.

There are those who feel that the much publicised anti-corruption drive of the government is losing ground. We fervently hope not. We continue to hold the belief that a dispensation of justice and a return to democratic governance will soon turn into tangible realities for this nation.

Mr. Rahman,
When Tarek was severely man handled in jail you did not say anything. Khaleda is not Hasina who wants to remain Prime minister in Bangladesh otherwise stay only in Canada or USA. Her son in USA and daughter in Canada. (And no body came to see her in jail).
Mr. Rahman Tarek is not good but soooo bad like your JON NETRI (who is a shame for Bangladesh).

Dear Mr. Shafique Bhuyan,
Why you are busy in criticising only some particular individuals leaving aside one of our famous JON NONDITO NETRI who was involved in big big scandal.....Bravo, Bravo, Bravo.  

What about those V.I.P. leader or our NETRI and her son JOY after plundering crores of Bangladesh money as people used to say to avoid arrest warrant still absconded and doing business by opening  'a dollar shop'  in U.S.A. .....Bravo, Bravo, Bravo
.
  
Is it not really surprising to think two Prime Ministers of a country at a time were put into jail for their corruptions. .....BravBravo Bravo. Out of these two, one of our previous Prime Minister especially Sk. Hasina became famous in bringing a reputation for our Bangladesh during her regime as number one Champion in corruption in the world...... Bravo Bravo Bravo. You have excluded the name of that particular Prime Minister from your lists of corruption. The two previous Prime Ministers being involved, one in  purchasing Mig and frigate scandal cases and the other in Barapukuria graft case, and for their all corruptions these two Prime ministers were put behind the bar simaltaneously after C.T.G. took over the charges in 1/11....... Bravo Bravo Bravo. Is it not really wonderful to think these two ladies and their corrupted associates are now going to be freed turn by turn........Bravo Bravo Bravo.  

The great leader and reformer of China, Mao Tse Tung never visited and stepped his feet to any outside country during his lifetime. On the other hand Sk. Hasina during her regime as Prime Minister visited foreign countries particularly U.S.A. more than 60 times by spending lots of money from our country's economy, for what benefit rendered to our soceity is still unknown to us.....Bravo Bravo Bravo.
   
For what type of contribution of Sheikh Hasina to our country, 13 or 14 doctorate degrees were given to her or purchased by her(according to some) from the roadside unknown institutions mostly in U.S.A,  by spending lots of money from a poor country like us is a matter of controversy. Her only contributions she has given us "Logi Boita", andolan, continuous lagatar hartal, "Ekter bodoley doshta lash" and so on, is it not really
                                    .......BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO.

Yes, we live in magical land. To make way for democracy, we have to cut many corners. The question is, do we want democracy so badly that we have to let go of potential advancement of our country in the areas of corruption busting exercises? If we have to resign to the old ways then what was the use of the care-taker govt. of 2007 and 2008? How did Bangladesh benefit? Or did it benefit at all??? What is stopping the previous forces to come back in grand style? This time perhaps with more majestic style having life long impunity. The fate of Bangladesh hangs precariously on a balance and somehow the entire country has accepted the fate that 'we cannot unshackle the old ways or perhaps old-ways was economically prosperous,' so let us not look at it from an ethical point of view. Let us focus on our wallets becoming fatter and letting moral scruples to kick back in at a later stage (a compromise).
 
Lastly, we have again proved to ourselves that we are an emotional nation governed by the dictates of party politics; we steadfastly put political ideology over country's well-being. Otherwise, all the drama of catching big wigs and then slowly letting them go sends only one signal and that is 'we have failed and that old guns may blaze in the coming days,' while the public continue to suck at their thumps and be shoved with high prices, economic dislocation and a judiciary that calls itself free and fair but acts as the servant of vested quarters. This is not the 'notun bangladesh I and many others dreamt of.' I hope and pray the 'cycle of wrongs' come to an end, at least in my life-time so that we can present a better tomorrow to our progeny.
 
 
Thank you for the patient reading.

Bravo!   Bravo!   Bravo! 
Our  army  backed  caretaker  government

 

 

If Tarek – Koko – Khaleda - Nizami gong are released from the custody – than no need keeping anyone in the jail or custody of Bangladesh.

 

 

Is there was any crime which were not committed (directly and indirectly) by these gongs during their tenure of 2001 – 2006?

 

  • They looted - stolen cores of taka of people of Bangladesh
  • They took thousands of acres of govt owned land
  • They transferred cores of taka to overseas (even when this CA Mr. Fakruddin was Governor of Bangladesh Bank)
  • They killed, injured political leaders - MPs (from topmost level, like Ex Minister & current MP ASMS Kibria, ex MP Mrs. Ivy Rahman, current MP Ahsanullah Master, ex MP Momtazuddin, Manjurul Imam etc to the grass root level workers - supporters of opposition political parties, even person (in Bogura) reading Quran in the mosque)
  • They gave safe shelter to killers in exchange of cores of taka (Basundhora)
  • They killed, insulted their own party leaders - supporters - sympathisers (like Prof Aftab of DU, Jamal Uddin of Chittagong, Badruddoza Choudhury, Mahi Choudhury, Maj Mannan)
  • They tried to cleansing the religious minority group (killed hundreds of non Muslim, including Principal Binod Bihari, Buddhist spiritual leader)
  • They created thousands of "god fathers"
  • They gave 'mega size' (more than 62) corrupt minister
  • They polluted & destroyed the PSC
  • They polluted & destroyed judicial system
  • They polluted & destroyed the educational system
  • They polluted & destroyed the Administration - Bureaucracy
  • They polluted & destroyed the Election Commission (cores of false voter)
  • They polluted & destroyed the Army - Police and other law enforcing system
 

They  had  polluted  &  destroyed  every  thing of  Bangladesh

 
To find their huge number of crimes – no need of the high power electronic microscope or "intensive investigation"!

 

Only need a fair, unbiased normal mind. So, no need of carry out any "intensive investigation" with "high power electronic microscope"!

 

If you go through the "un protested" newspapers reports (also in abroad) on the corruptions published during the tenure of the notorious Jamat-BNP tenure of 2001 – 2006 (and also after that, till now) including the newspapers sympathised or loyal to them including like, the Prothom Alo, the Amader Shomoy, the Jugantor, the Daily Star, the Inkilab, the Amar Desh, the Manabzamin, the Nayadiganta,. Leave the neutral & sincere newspaper like the Sangbad, the Janakantha, the Shamokal, the Ittefaq and other news paper like the Bhorer Kagoj, Ajkerkagoj (now closed) etc etc. (I can quote hundreds of such news paper report).

 

That is why Bangladesh was "champion" in corruption out of 5 terms 4 terms of Jamat-BNP era (and one time in Awami League era)!

 

Now these culprits are getting released from the custody by this ABCG!

 

Bravo!  Bravo!  Bravo!  Our army backed caretaker government

 

Really SELUKAS!

 

Our present neutral army backed caretaker government is really strange! SELUKAS!

[chottala.com] The Jail Killing Verdict Is Extremey Unjust

The verdict in the Jail Killing case falls short in my opinion.
Are we saying that only one person committed these heinous murders of the four national leaders?
Are we letting anyone else get away because of lack of evidence?
This is an example of utter failure of Bangladesh as a nation.
I would like to ask all our countrymen at home and abroad to raise their voice against this injustice.
Let me ask a few questions to whom it may concern?
At whose orders or planning were these murders committed?
Who was the head of state at the time of the murders?
Who was really in charge of the central jail at the time of the murders?
Who was behind these killings that paved the way for anti liberation forces to rule Bangladesh for the longest time by eliminating the four leaders in the most cowardly and disgraceful way possible?
Who ensured that justice be obstructed for the longest time so that the evidence of the killing would gradually be lost?
Which culprits made sure that the jail case would continue as long as possible hoping that the murders would be forgotten with time?
Who was in actual control of Bangladesh on 3rd November, 1975?
Who helped the killers of the father of the nation get employment in Bangladesh embassies all over the world?
Who used the "Indemnity Act" to make sure killer could get away with murders for the longest time?
Ask these questions over and over again. Now think about your answers to the above questions.
Do we still think that justice has been served in the jail killings?
Ziaur Rahman was assasinated by a military coup. There were officers found guilty in the coup that did not neccessarily shoot Zia to death. However the officers found involved directly or indirectly were executed in the quickest way possible in the 80's shortly after the assasination.
Bangladesh needs to do much more for these slain leaders who were subject to cold blooded murders by miscreants that wanted revenge for the defeat in 1971 and more.
I urge any one who cares about Bangladesh to rise up and question the judgement. That's the least you can do for Bangladesh, her history, her people and last but not the least for salvation of the souls of the four leaders of her soil. We owe our freedom as a nation to the four leaders quite a lot.
Lets show our respect and gratefulness by challenging this unfair verdict.
Tariq Matin

[chottala.com] Dr. Aafia’s children to live in US as Pak refuses to accept them as its citizens: alleges Dr. Fouzia

Dr. Aafia's children to live in US as Pak refuses to accept them as its citizens: alleges Dr. Fouzia

KARACHI, Sep 3 (Online): Dr. Fouzia Siddiqui, sister of Dr. Aafia has said that Pakistani government has refused to consider the children of Dr. Afia as citizens of Pakistan and according to US State Department, they would live in the United States.

Talking to a private TV channel, Dr. Fouzia Siddiqui told that her family has filed a case in US court regarding the custody of children but her lawyer while quoting US State Department said that the Pakistani government does not consider children as its citizens.

Dr. Fouzia further stated that US State Department in a letter to her brother Muhammad Ali Siddiqui informed that the children of Dr. Aafia would not be handed over to the family as he did not appear in the US Court since over two weeks. The children now would live in the United States, the US court informed, added by Dr. Fouzia.

According to Dr. Fouzia, the main reason of less efforts at their side in the case of getting custody of children was their believe on assurance given by Pakistani government in which it stated that the government is taking steps for safe return of children to Pakistan.
