Re: [chottala.com] Re: Can you deny this commitment? Mr Syed Aslam Vs Mr Enayet Ullah's comment on Sajib Wajed's Harvard Masters degree !!!

Mr. Syed Aslam Vs Mr. Enayet Ullah

Bangladesh needs now quality educated quality knowledge quality working class political leaders who can possess the quality understanding knowledge to realize for knowing what the real problems to the people of Bangladesh & have the practical work knowledge abilities & quality work educations for solving the problems correctly.
But it is observed in Bangladesh that either academic degree educational qualification or quality work knowledge education is not the main factor or is not the main quality in doing Bangladeshi Bengali politics. Only the media fake propagandas on lying practice & on false promising for misleading the common people of Bangladesh are the main qualities to be the top class super politician in Bangladesh

Can you deny this commitment??

Mr. Enayet Ullah
 
Your comment is a total distortion of the fact.
Harvard does not have any correspondence
courses or degree available  ... In order to
get a degree from Harvard one has to go
through a prescribed program and maintain
the required standard ..... there are no "may",
"ifs" or "buts".... 
 
Harvard education is costly,but only
"enough money" can not bestow a Harvard
Masters degree  ..... one has to pass
the exams and fulfill the requirements for the
degree.
 
As a matter of fact, Sonia Gandhi's son Rahul
Gandhi attended Harvard but dropped out in
1993 failing receive the undergraduate degree.
 
Mr. Enayet Ullah,  please be credible and base your
comment on fact not on ficticious "may be"s  ...
 
BTW, Hasina Sheikh does not have a single PhD ,,,
she holds a B.A. (hons) degree from prestigious
Dhaka university in Bangladesh.
 
Sajib Wajed Joy's father Wajed Miah was a world-class
physicist and has a PhD degree in physics.
Sajib is a triple major in Physics, Mathematics and
Computer Science from St. Joseph's College and
has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
from University of Texas in Arlington and finally
earned a Masters degree in Public Administration
from  Kennedy School of Government [2008].
 
Whereas, our great madam Khaleda Zia is a
Matric-fail Soshikkito lady ... her sons, Koko
and Tarek's academic backgrounds are
big question marks .....(?????? ????????) .
 
FYI,
The organizers at the seminar sponsored by 
Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced
International Studies and US Bangladesh Business
Advisory Council in Washington.describe d
Sajib Wajed as "an advisor to Her Excellency
Sheikh Hasina". not as an official Advisor of the
Prime Minister of Bangladesh as you have said.

Thanks for expressing your insidious interests and
conspicuous comments.
 
Syed Aslam

Well, if you have enough money, one can get a Masters degree from Harvard, there are various correspondence courses available. Harvard is a well-known famous educational institute, but, not all Harvard graduate bestow the same quality!

Mr Sajib Wajed Jr, like his mother Seikh Hasina with 10 Phd, may well obtained his degree in a similar manner! It does not make him any qualified to be an Advisor of the Prime Minister. Moreover, Sajib has no knowledge about Bangladesh, he has not lived in Bangladesh for long time. I thought Awami League will rule differently this time, they will abandon the politics of hate and politics of heredity! Apparently, they are cajouling with both symptomps!

It's just sheer conspicuous!

Hasina's son defends 'controversial appointments'
 
 
Thu, Jan 29th, 2009 1:22 pm BdST
By Arshad Mahmud in Washington

Washington, Jan 28 (bdnews24.com)—Sajeeb Wajed, son of prime minister Sheikh Hasina, has said that comparison between him and Tarique Rahman, son of former PM Khaleda Zia, was unfair as "I've a masters degree in Public Administration from Harvard University".

Sajeeb made the comment in an apparent effort to avoid a direct response to a question posed by bdnews24.com about whether he would declare unequivocally that unlike Tarique, and Khaleda's younger son Coco, he would not become involved in any business deal during the tenure of the current Awami League-led government.

His comment came during the question-answer session at a seminar on "The Bangladesh elections and beyond: Democracy, Security and Development", jointly organised by the Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies and US Bangladesh Business Advisory Council in Washington on Wednesday.

He was one of the four panellists at the seminar, which provided an opportunity for the first time for many in the audience to hear directly from the prime minister's son, since the Awami League-led alliance won a landslide victory in last month's election.

The organisers described him as "an advisor to Her Excellency Sheikh Hasina".

Sajeeb's presence obviously generated a lot of interest among the audience, who were eager to learn more about the election and the country's current and future course.

Not surprisingly, most of the questions were directed to him and that prompted the moderator Walter Anderson, director of the South Asia Programme at SAIS, to intervene repeatedly in an effort to give the other three panellists a chance to answer some questions.

The other three were Joshua White, a PhD student at SAIS, Imtiaz Habib, a board member of USBAC, and Peter Manikas, Asia Director of the National Democratic Institute. White and Manikas recently visited Bangladesh as election observers.

Smart and articulate, Sajeeb made a generally good impression at the start, but his answers to some of the questions appeared to disappoint many in the audience, especially when he was trying to defend the controversial appointment of Toufiqe-e-Elahi Chowdhury as an adviser to the prime minister.

The PM's son was asked directly: "Why do you think the prime minister appointed such controversial figures as Toufique-e-Elahi, who was in jail recently on corruption charges, as advisers while there's no dearth of clean and respectable people in Bangladesh?"

Sajeeb said he didn't see anything wrong in such appointments. "Some people may say that Toufique-e-Elahi is controversial but there are others who say he is not".

About his recent incarceration on corruption charges, Sajeeb said the caretaker government imprisoned many innocent people without any credible evidence and "my mother was one of them".

The seminar was attended by Bangladeshi- Americans, diplomats, academics and others interested in Bangladesh.

Ambassador Humayun Kabir made a brief introductory statement at the seminar about the recent election and future prospects of Bangladesh.

Re: Message from Moyeenda RE: [chottala.com] Book: War Babies of 71

Dear Moyeenda
"Samorik Oitijyo" is towards its completing phase. Today the mela is officially opening. I'll visit it, and meet our publisher. If it doesn't come today, then it will come in a day or two. Mine is also supposed to come today. As you know, binding and other formalities delay the publication by a day or two.
 
Ripon's marriage preparation is going on smoothly. The gold and sari have been bought, cards printed, and distribution will take place in a week or so.
 
The e-mail publication advertisement isn't a bad idea.
 
Nazma Apa has published an excellent children's book by the name, "Megher Gaye Chumki Joley." I think, it's so far Toitomboor's best publication.  
 
Regards,
 
Badal.

Dear Badal
              I hope everything is proceeding fine towards Ripon's impending marriage and you are not too much busy about it. Your Bhabi and I will certainly miss the happy wedding. However, we very much hope we will be able to visit coming January and by the grace of Allah we will be able to see your first grandchild's face then. However we will put our presence through a humble "something" in the wedding. Seema will take care of it.
              I am waiting for some good news from you about the progress in publishing "Bangaleer Samorik Oitijyo."
Meanwhile I am forwarding to you a message I received today about the publication of another book. May be you can do something similar for wider publicity of "Samorik Oitijyo." May be you have some plan better than this.
               Take care. With doa to all

[chottala.com] Enemy property Act : Awami Leaguers are the greatest beneficiaries !

Enemy property Act : Awami Leaguers are the greatest beneficiaries !
 
Many Awami Leaguers are also the beneficiaries of the "Enemy property Act".
As a matter of fact The Awami League general secretary and Mercantile Bank
Limited chairman Mr. Abdul Jalil is one of them.
Mr. Jalil's father was an employee of a Marwari Hindu-owned warehousing
business in Naogaon. During communal disturbances in Bangladesh  that
followed 1965 Indo-Pak war the Hindu business owners of Naogaon were forced
to leave and their properties declared enemy property. Consequently, Jalil's father
became the custodian (de facto owner) of that business. Mr. Jalil's  fortunes stems
out of this vested property abandoned by a Hindu business owner for the fear of life.
He now owns a bank called Mercantile Bank Limited without ever pursuing a
legitimate business or job.
 
This not an unique situation. There are many, many cases like this
in Bangladesh, where some specially advantaged people from all wake of
the country became the beneficiary of  the "Enemy property Act".
 
The act was renamed as the Vested Property Act in 1974, the law still retains
the fundamental ability to deprive a Bangladeshi citizen of his/her property simply
by declaration of that person as an enemy of the state. Leaving the country through
abandonment is cited as the most common reason for this, and it is frequently the
case that Hindu families who have one or several members leaving the country
(for economic as well as political reasons) have their entire property confiscated
due to labeling as enemy.
 
A seminal work was published in 1997 by Professor Abul Barkat of Dhaka University,
'Inquiry into Causes and Consequences of Deprivation of Hindu Minorities in
Bangladesh through the Vested Property Act'. This demonstrated that 925,050 Hindu
households (40% of Hindu families in Bangladesh) have been affected by the Enemy
Property Act. This included 748,850 families dispossessed of agricultural land. The total
amount of land lost by Hindu households as a result of this discriminatory act was
estimated at 1.64 million acres, which is equivalent to 53 per cent of the total land owned by
he Hindu community and 5.3 per cent of the total land area of Bangladesh.
 
The survey also showed that the beneficiaries of the land grab through the act cut across all
party lines. The political affiliation of direct beneficiaries of appropriated property was:
 
The greatest appropriation of Hindu property took place immediately after
independence during the first Awami League government (1972-75) and during the
first period of rule of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (1976-1980). Dr Barkat's work
also showed that since 1948, 75% of the land of religious minorities in East Pakistan and
subsequent Bangladesh had  been confiscated through provisions of the act.
Dr Barkat also emphasized that less than 0.4% of the population of Bangladesh has
benefited from the Enemy Property Act, demonstrating that this law has been abused by
those in power through corruption, with no demonstrated sanction by the population
 
India also has similar laws, which allows confiscation of "abandoned" property.
The Custodian for Enemy Property for India is an Indian government department
That is empowered to appropriate property in India owned by Pakistani nationals.
After the  Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, the Enemy Property Act was promulgated
in 1968. Since Pre-independence Bangladeshis were (East) Pakistanis, few
Bangladeshis  Who were property owners in India  or had non-resident accounts in
Indian Banks became losers by the Enemy Property for India .

 "Instead, politically powerful people grabbed most of the
land during the reign of the BNP-led alliance government
 between 2001 and 2006
 Forty-five per cent of the land grabbers were
affiliated with the BNP, 31 per cent with the
Awami League"

[chottala.com] Mojaheed hints at apology, defends role

Mojaheed hints at apology, defends role
 
 
Sun, Feb 1st, 2009 1:03 am BdST
Dhaka, Jan 31 (bdnews24.com)—A senior Jamaat leader has rejected 1971 war crimes charges against the party, saying a political party cannot be criminally charged for its political stance.

"This (opposing the independence of Bangladesh) was a matter of a political decision," secretary general Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed said in a TV interview Saturday.

"This cannot be treated as a war crime," Mojaheed, who served as a cabinet minister in the BNP-led 2001-06 coalition government, told Channel One.

"None of us were involved in activities that are defined as war crimes," the Jamaat leader said.

Mojaheed hinted that a formal public apology for the party's 1971 role was likely, however.

"We have made (apologetic) statements on various occasions before," he said.

"If necessary, if we feel it necessary that we need to speak again, come up with a clearer statement, we will give one."

The Jamaat leader put stress on the phrase—"if we feel it necessary", and repeated it.

He said: "The political decision could have been wrong, but there was nothing criminal about it.

"And it was not just us, Jamaat-e-Islami that opposed (the liberation war), others did too. The Muslim League did," said Mojaheed, clearly on the defensive.
