Almost 15 days prior to arrest of Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina, a
number of leading leaders of the party named Abdur Razzak, Amir
Hossain Amu, Tofail Ahmed, Suranjit Sengupta, Sajeda Chowdhury
alongwith an internationally known lawyer met some of the senior
millitary officials at a house in Dhaka's Gulshan area to discuss the
possible reform in the party. During this meeting, eminent Awami
League leader Amir Hossain Amu opined that, as first step of any such
reform, Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina should be immediately
arrested. His opinion was strongly supported by two other figures in
the millitary backed interim government named Barrister Moinul Hussain
and Major General [Retired] M Abdul Matin. It is learnt that, a
sensitive intelligence agency in the country has already the video and
audio version of this secret meeting, which may be handed over to
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina anytime from now as the government has
already started an investigation to findout the culprits who conspired
and planned the arrest of the Awami League chief.
It may be mentioned here that, although Barrister Moinul Hussain and
Major General [Retired] M Abdul Matin are known as pro-BNP men, they
tried to exhibit their neutrality in public although they tried to do
everything in screwing up the political future of the largest
political party in Bangladesh.
According to several sources, mentioned leaders of Awami League were
planning a coup within the party after sending Sheikh Hasina in
prison. But, their conspiracy theory could not work due to very timely
and effective initiative by two of the leaders of Awami League namely
Zillur Rahman and Syed Ashraful Islam.
It is further learnt that, Dr. Debopriya Bhattacharya was also amongst
the masterminds in seeing total reform in both the large political
parties in the country. He [Debopriya] was also interested in taking
Jatiyo Party in the same plan, but this party had always been
considered as a `friendly ally' of the millitary backed interim regime
as former dictator Hussain Muhammed Ershad was actively helping the
interim government through various ways. When a government in the
Middle East stopped recruiting Bangladeshi workers, Ershad visited
that country being an unofficial envoy of the millitary backed interim
government and succeeded in removing the ban.
Hussain Muhammed Ershad was personally eager to see both the female
leaders ousted from the leadership of their respective parties.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is already aware of the total conspiracy
and the role of the conspirators in sending her in prison thus pushing
the fate of her party into extreme difficulty. The forming of the new
cabinet by the AL government is the reflection of a deep mental injury
of Sheikh Hasina which she has been suffering from since her arrest in
June, 2007 on various charges including extortion and the revival of
old graft case involving purchase of MiG aircrafts from Russia,
according to sources. This was the prime reason for the exclusion of
Abdur Razzak, Amir Hossain Amu, Tofail Ahmed and Suranjit Sengupta --
together they are known as RATS -- with some other senior leaders
including Sajeda Chowdhury in the cabinet, they said.
According informed sources, the AL circles tend to believe that the
RATS were the prime movers of party reforms [popularly known as "Minus
Two Theory" with the help of a powerful security agency] who attempted
to implement it with others help. They also say that before holding
the next Awami League central council meeting sometime later this
year, the chances of including other suspected minor reformists in the
cabinet is almost zero.
Inside stories of Noor Ali's case against Sheikh Hasina is also
getting leaked. According to information, a government officer, who
played key role in organizing `Janatar Mancha' joined Noor Ali's
company as an employee after he was terminated from job. This former
official secretly spoke to high ranking officials in a sensitive
intelligence agency and finally managed to `manage' Noor Ali by
putting various threats and pressures in lodging the case against
Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina and some other leaders of her party.
Noor Ali although sought apology with Sheikh Hasina right after her
return from United States and even worked in favor of the candidate of
the Grand Alliance in the respective constituency, it is learnt that,
Ali may also face legal consequences like former Chairman of Westmont
Power Limited. General diaries in regard to both the matters are
already lodged by police and formal cases will be lodged in several
weeks against both the controversial businessmen for their involvement
in harrassing and defaming Sheikh Hasina and other members of her
party and cabinet.
Another person named Azam J Chowdhury, who also lodged an extortion
case against Sheikh Hasina and other Awami League leaders, although
withdrew his complaint after Hasina returned home, will also face
similar legal consequences.
Meanwhile, deprived heavy-weight leaders in Awami League are
continuing to conspire in putting pressure on the present government
by instigating unlawful activities within Campuses in Bangladesh as
well as extortion, land grabbing, murder etc., in the country. It is
also learnt that, some angry heavyweight leaders are privately telling
their followers to do everything in destorting the law and order
situation in the country to greatly discredit the newly formed cabinet
of youngstars mostly, in the present government.
