Bengalis love to find fault with others in a way to absolve themselves of their own guilt, or that of their own kind. Please do not try to divide the population by playing your psychological tricks. As a former refugee, I can say that the survivors of Pakistani carnage lived modestly and very simply in most instances. It was the job of the soldiers to fight.So, no cheap comparisons please. It does not do justice to our nation of valiant freedom fighters or those that gave it leadership.
Do not tarnish the image of a nation because of the actions of some people. It is like Israel collectively punishing Palestinians because some children threw stones.
In a culture of rumour mongering among Bangladeshis, people forget that Bangabandhu was maligned by some evil motivated people. But at his death, his bank balance was found to be no more than 2 lakhs! As a Bengali I can only be ashamed at the gullibility of our people to fall for rumours and gossip.
A new government has come and new people should rule the country. That should be obvious to all of us. Those chosen must be loyal, reliable and able. The old guard and fossils must go; anyone obstructing good governance and seen not to perform should be fired; and only the very capable and honest people retained. It is important for Bengalis to understand this simple logic. The old guard must find other opportunities in the private sector. If they continue in place, bureaucratic delays will be insurmountable as we have already seen. The government cannot afford this.
The threat of another 1975 is most abhorrent under the circumstances. Members would be wise to refrain from such threats and propaganda.

Subject: [chottala.com] In the name of freedom fighters nobody has got any right to do any loot pat of govt property.
Dear all chottala readers,
In the name of freedom fighters nobody has got any right to do any loot pat of govt property. Before liberation of Bangladesh Bangabandhu Sk. Mujibur Rahman used to tell West Pakistanis were taking everything from our East Pakistan (presently Bangladesh) and that is why after a long nine months of liberation war Bangladesh came into existence as a separate independent country. The ideology for which Bangladesh was created, immediately after liberation war what we have seen Bangladesh was made a place of "hariloot" by many of the Awami Leaguers in the name of freedom fighters and started loot pat the whole country. In the practical field what we have seen, the actual liberation war done by our revolt Bengal Regiment army under the supreme command of General M.A.G. Osmani arranging the whole freedom fighters by dividing it into different sectors under S-force (Shafiullah) , Z-force (Ziaur Rahman), and K-force (Khaled Musharraf). What these Awami League leaders did at that time, by leaving the innocent public in the gun points of Pakistani soldiers fled to India at that time and by staying in a luxurious apartments and hotels in Calcutta free of cost with free fooding provided to them by the Indian govt enjoying in full swing(I think you can well imagine and understand what I mean) for the long nine months of liberation war while our actual freedom fighters (Bengal regiment army, with 'few months arms trained common people including our enthusiastic freedom lover School, College and University students') by risking their life, fought valiantly by moving from jungles to jungles day and night for nine months in the whole Bangladesh border area. I request again to our newly emerged freedom fighters and selfish Awami Leagures at present, please don't invite another 1975 which took the life of our Bangabandhu with his whole families except two, because of your activities. I still remember Sk. Mujibur Rahman in one of his meeting in Ramna Race course maidan told, "Don't utter Bangabandhu by your filthy mouth again as you have already send Bangabandhu under the grave". He further told "many countries are getting gold mines but I have got mines of thieves, wherever I see, I see all thieves around me". You can well understand to whom Bangabandhu really meant by that. His finger was directed to his own Awami leaguers and nobody else as there was nobody except Awami league at that time. Now the same type of groups, after winning of Awami league with overwhelming seats again started to peep through the windows of Awami League claiming to occupy the govt buildings as their right. To fight as a freedom fighter does not mean to occupy the whole govt establishments in their name as an exchange of their freedom fighting. Real patriotic freedom fighters will never ask like this. I doubt whether such type of their activities will bring again another 1975.
Dowllah.
