The law enforcement agencies found some ruling party leaders' direct conversations with the BDR mutineers over mobile phone after examining the mobile phone call lists of the detained BDR jawans on February 25-26 at Peeklkhana.
The law enforcement agencies identified the names which are Home Minister Sahara Khatun, State Minister for Local Government and Rural Development (LGRD) and Cooperatives Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Awami League leader Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, Dhamnondi-Hazaribag h MP Barrister Fazlee Noor Taposh and Mirza Azam.
The BDR mutineers held talks several times with the local MP Taposh.
The mutineers reportedly held talks with the leaders between 11:00 am to 3:00pm on February 25.
At least 820 BDR personnel and five civilians have been shown arrested to date for their alleged involvement in the mutiny.
Law enforcement agencies investigated the mobile numbers of more than 35 BDR personnel.
At least 10 BDR personnel had talked to the ruling party leaders over mobile phone. And 5 detained BDR personnel confessed to the law enforcement agencies that they held talks to one MP and another former MP about their demands.
Law enforcement agencies found that that DAD Touhid, Jawan Salim, Jawan Mofiz, Havilder Obaidul with other 10 BDR jawans held talks with the AL leaders.
Source said BDR Jawan Salim reportedly talked to MP Taposh at about 11: 00 am on the day of occurrence.
Investigation team found Nanak and Taposh mobile numbers from the Cell phone of Jawan Salim.
From 2:00 pm to 2:30 pm on 25 February DAD Touhid talks with the Home Minister Sahara Khatun. Touhid had also talk with Nanak, Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir and Mirza Azam over cell phone.
DAD Touhid also had talks with the Home Minister and the state minister for LGRD minister 20 to 25 times on 25 February at about 10 pm to 3pm.
Investigation officers of the BDR preferring mutiny anonymity told the New Nation that they found names of the AL leaders and BDR personnel after verification from the mobile phone operators.
But the AL leaders did not talk before the 25 February, he added.
Jawan Salim told the investigation officers that they took the Taposh's Mobile phone number from the detrained Torab Ali.
Earlier on Monday Criminal Investigation Department (CID) questioned Jamaat-e-Islami leader Barrister Abdur Razzak for more than three hours in connection with the February 25-26 massacre at BDR headquarters.
Nesarul Arif, police superintendent of the CID and in charge of the case, said yesterday that more people might be required to be questioned in the interest of the case.
A lot of big guns we may need to quiz as the case unfolds," Nesarul told reporters after grilling Jama'at-e-Islami leader Abdur Razzak at the CID headquarters.

Dear All
The article below reveals the BNP-Jamaat's connection with AIPAC-Mossad' s operatives. The Khaleda government was paying $5000 a month to "The Talented Dr. Richard Benkin" a registered foreign agent & a member of AIPAC spy cell.... Jamaats connection with the people in Langly, Virginia dates back to the beginning of cold war days when now deceased Maulana Moududi was considered as an asset for CIA ....
Thanks
Syed Aslam
AIPAC = American Israel Public Affairs Committee
============ ========= ========= ====
The Talented Dr. Richard Benkin
It turns out that Dr. Richard Benkin, the "reporter" who is the source of stories about Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury and Mr. Choudhury's supporter, is registered as a foreign lobbyist. However, if I asked you to guess which government he represented, you would probably be way off the mark.On September 6, 2005 Dr. Richard Benkin registered as a foreign agent with the United States Department of Justice, under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), for the Government of Bangladesh. [Click here to see the registration document.] Given the kind of articles Dr. Benkin writes about Bangladesh, this revelation is rather shocking.Dr. Benkin was hired to prepare and disseminate informational materials via radio or TV broadcasts, magazines or newspaper articles, letters or telegrams, press releases and the internet. He was hired to disseminate this information to public officials, civic groups or associations, legislators, newspapers and editors. According to the document filed with the US government, Dr. Benkin had already received $5000 from the Government of Bangladesh as payment for his services. He was to receive $5000 per month based on an oral agreement between Dr. Benkin and the Government of Bangladesh. According to the filing:The Registrant agreed to provide Public Relations services to the Foreign Principal at a cost of $5000.00 per month, to be paid to the Registrant at the beginning of each month for services that month. There is no formal duration, but it is expected to last at least twelve months.A month after Dr. Benkin filed his paperwork, the respected lobbying firms Ketchum Washington and The Washington Group also registered as foreign agents for the Government of Bangladesh to do public relations. [Click here to see Ketchum's registration and click here to see The Washington Group's registration. ]
There is one significant difference between Dr. Benkin's lobbying and those of Ketchum and The Washington Group. While Ketchum and The Washington Group indicated in their filing that they would deal with the Bangladeshi Embassy in Washington via the ambassador, Shamsher M. Chowdhury, the filing by Dr. Benkin indicated that he would deal with Lutfuzzaman Babar, State Minister for Home Affairs in Bangladesh. The difference is significant.
As an aside, the reader will note that in the first email Rabbi Sue Levy sent me regarding Mr. Choudhury, she accused the Bangladesh Embassy in Washington of trying to discredit Mr. Choudhury.
It does seem unusual that Dr. Benkin would ink his deal with a Bangladeshi state minister involved with domestic law and order, rather than with the official representative of Bangladesh, that is the ambassador and the Embassy. Why the Bangladesh Embassy was sidestepped in a foreign lobbying effort is certainly food for thought. Further Mr. Babar is featured and cited in a large number of Dr. Benkin's "reports" about Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury - yet, Dr. Benkin never mentions that he is a paid consultant working for Mr. Babar. Mr. Babar was also featured in a glowing article dated June 15, 2006 entitled "Babar & His Magic Stick" i nthe Asian Tribune, Dr. Benkin's mouthpiece of choice. The article was written by a certain Christopher Giddings whose prose is decidedly Bangladeshi in tone, rather than one of a native english speaker.
Those familiar with Bangladesh will note that Mr. Babar is a young politician who gained a reputation for ruthlessness by creating the Rapid Action Battalian (RAB) in March 2004, a paramilitary force responsible for countless extra-judicial killings in Bangladesh. Those unfamiliar with RAB under Mr. Babar can get a sense of their modus operandi by reading the publication "Judge, Jury and Executioner" by Human Rights Watch.
The current interim government in Bangladesh is likely tightening the noose on Mr. Babar, now the former state minister, on alleged corruption charges. So far, anti-corruption forces have raided his home, and have arrested his personal secretary and his cousin on corruption charges.
I can see why Mr. Babar might want a personal PR man to defend his brand of human rights abuses - a lot of people have famously died in the "crossfire" as RAB hunted extremists and common criminals alike. However, Mr. Babar might have been running his own little fiefdom without official government sanction. It makes little sense that at the same time the Government of Bangladesh, through legitimate diplomatic channels, was enlisting the likes of Ketchum and The Washington Group, that a state minister in Bangladesh would hire a foreign lobbyist on his own. It also seems odd that he is repeatedly cited by Dr. Benkin in his "reports" that masquerade as news stories without mentioning that Dr. Benkin is on Mr. Babar's payroll. I am sure the anti-corruption authorities in Bangladesh will have a few questions.
There is a lot of reporting to be done here. I leave it to the reader and fellow Bangladeshi bloggers to fill in the blanks to paint the complete picture. Something smells, and it smells bad.
BONUS for Bangladeshi readers: Here is a glowing article about Tareque Rahman by the aforementioned Christopher Giddings in the Asian Tribune. For non-Bangladeshis, Tareque Rahman, the son of the previous prime minister, is known in Bangladesh as "Mr. Ten Percent" and he has just been arrested for massive corruption.

RE: Mystery of Sunita Paul - Analyst's observation
Syed Aslam
Dear AllThe below is a short but intensely interesting revelation about Sunita Paul's anti-Bangladesh activities ......
I personally think that Sunita Paul/Ms. Susan Ramgopalam are ficticious charecters with Salah Uddin Shoaib Chowdhury & Dr. Richard L. Benkin´behind the scene.
Dr. Richard L. Benkin (a leading advocate for Shoaib Chowdhuri's cause !) was hired by Khelada government for lobbying in the U.S to put in a good word for the BNP/Jammat government in early 2006. They signed a deal with him to pay
him $5000 a month.

By KS
I am not good in computer and therefore, I asked a student to find Sunita Paul's write-ups in various journals/dailies that have been mentioned in her introduction given below. She tried a few like Sunday Ledger, African Times, Asian Tribune, Asiaweek, New York Sun, New Yorker, Bangkok Post, Washington Times, Asia Today, etc, and surprisingly she did not find her write-ups in these dailies. Secondly, she estimated that since late December 2008 till March 29, the said Sunita Paul published 25 articles. Among them 12 are on BDR/Army/Militancy and 6 on Salah Uddin Shoaib Chowdhury and rest 7 on AL, Sajib, etc. Out of her 35 write-ups for the last one year, 23 on BDR/Military/ Militancy and 14 on Shoaib Chowdhury.
Third, if you read http://Boycottbangl adesh.org/ 2009/03 of Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury and that of Sunita Paul's write-ups, for example, titled "Our Hero Salah Uddin Shoaib Chowdhury Attacked Again: How Long We can Remain Silent" (Feb 23, 2009), there is similarity in language and sentence structure.
Sunita Paul being an Indian born unfortunately never writes either on Indian or South Asian issues. She only writes on Bangladesh and on topics that are current with either Channel I's discussion forum in Bengali- Tritiyo Matra http://my.opera. com/channelitv/ albums/showpic. dml?album= 201498&picture=3022048, ATN's Bengali program Sanglap or so. The day Maj. Gen. (Retd) Moyeen Chowdury Bir Bikram mentioned the likely impact of Lt. Col (Retd) Faruk Khan's statement that JMB might be involved with the BDR Massacre, the following day, the said blog published that one Ms. Susan Ramgopalam had sent a letter to the UN Secretary General asking him to stop use of Bangladesh Military forces with the UN Peace Keeping Missions. Who knows, maybe 'great man think alike' across the globe!!! Maybe she was watching Tritiyo-Matra.

Dear Mr. Najmul Karim;
Thank you for your email. No, we are not objecting someone to write or express his/her opinion. Only question is 'credibility' ? It appears Salahuddin Shoaib Chowdhury (SSC) is writing under pseudonym (Sunita Paul) and most of the writings are 'negative' or basically character assassination. Question is why?
We tell our students that in these days of media, data and information revolution, it is essentail to critically examine the information, cross check them and evaluate their credibility prior to making use of them for judgement/decision. During December (2008)through March, 2009, Sunita Paul has written 25 articles and out of them 12 are on BDR/Military/ Militancy and 6 are on SSC and all on Bangladesh, and Bangladesh only. We are thankful to her as she took especial interest on Bangladesh. However, she did not publish a single write-up on any other South Asian country or even on her own country i.e. India. Does it sounds something unusual or somebody is on a especial mission?
An investigative journalist has sent the following few examples of Sunita Paul Vs. SSC's write-ups. You may like to look at it.

[chottala.com] Mystry of fictitious Ms Sunita Paul & her insidious intents: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[chottala.com] Zionism in Bangladesh: An Enemy Within?
Zionism in Bangladesh: An Enemy Within?
The name Sunita invokes a Sanskrit ambiance – a Hindu culture and the logic of deduction is undeniable, an anti-Islamic. If Farida Majid, Abid Bahar, Habib R. Siddiqui and Barrister MB Musnshi would have gone behind the headlines they would certainly discover another story within a story; that is, Sunita Paul represents the interest of a mighty powerful lobby group in the world, the Zionist bloc which has links to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPA) and neo-cons.
To begin with, if Farida Majid et al take a look at Sunita' s surname it reveals that "Paul" is a distortion of the Kayastha name "Pal". This kind of surname is generally found in the Caribbean region where a large number of Indians settled as indentured laborers during the heyday of colonialism. But that does not mean that the West Indian origins Indians cannot be negative about Islam. Sir V S Naipaul is an exemplary of this group, whose writings and statements about Islam conjure from an orientalist perspective, a civilizing catastrophe.
Whatever the origin of Sunita Paul, it is apparent that she has been patronized by the two- website newspapers: Global Politician and Blitz. Of the two, the later one is a weekly English newspaper based in Dhaka. According to Paul, Blitz is the most influential weekly newspaper in Bangladesh with readership at home and abroad (Global Politician, May 11, 2008). Who edits this world renowned weekly from Dhaka? Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, an internationally known award winning anti-Jihadist and "a gadfly journalist". What does he pen? Choudhury dedicates himself not only against militant Islam but also promotes an interfaith understanding as well as demands relations between Israel and Bangladesh" (Global Politician, May 11, 2008).
One of his admirers Nuruzzam Chodhury characterizes him as a peace-loving Muslim who made a nonviolent approach demanding the recognition of Israel and he declares Shoaib Choudhury should be awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize (Blitz, May 23, 2008). Here one finds areas of congruence between Global Politicians and the Blitz that explain why Sunita Paul was bad mouthing about Muhammad Yunus in Global Politician.
But the story of Zionism in Bangladesh would be unfinished without Richard L. Benkin, a Zionist lobbyist in Chicago, was appointed as a PR person by the BNP government to build its positive image in the United States during the last days of the BNP misrule in Bangladesh (The Daily Star, April 10, 2006). Indeed, the life cycle of Shoaib Choudhury or for that matter of Zionism in Bangladesh is coterminous with Richard Benkin. He serves as US correspondence for the Weekly Bliz and the Daily Amader Shomoy.
For example, Paul copiously praises Ms. Sumi Khan, Mr. Zahid Al Amin of Daily Amader Shomoy, its editor Nayeemul Islam Khan and Motiur Rahman Chowdhury, a correspondent with Voice of America and the editor of Daily Manabzamin for their stance against the Muslim fundamaetalists in Bangladesh (Global Politician, May 11, 2008). Interestingly enough both the Dailies have web links on the homage of Blitz. All this tends to show the US Zionist has a foothold in Bangladesh and there are a number of journalists and writers like Shoaib Choudhury are working closely with the Zionist lobby in the US.
It is not certain whether the Bangladeshi Zionists are working as a social network or an organization, but one thing is sure: Zionism has become a reality in Bangladesh and the individuals like Shoaib Choudhury have invested onto the project a lot of their world views and the justification of the apartheid state of Israel, an American vassal state.

Even those who don't give damn to sunita paul's writing but stil are out there to defame her without responding her accusations. That's not democratic move on BAL's agents part. That is misleading people on their ideological ground. Syed should realize these tectics are not the sound political judgement on all BALs apologists part.

[chottala.com] Comparative economic strength of India and Bangladesh and States within the Indian Union
These are my compilations of the relative economic strength of the economies of Bangladesh and India including the individual states of the latter country. Since I am no expert in the use of statistical data I am not sure of the accuracy of the economic information that has been produced. They seem wrong to me since the only state in the whole Indian union that is performing better than Bangladesh is Maharasthra. Surely that could not be correct. Could someone please verify and explain to me where I went wrong and provide me with the correct data and information?
The 2008 estimates come from the CIA Factbook on India and Bangladesh and is available on the internet. The economic data of the individual Indian states comes from the Directorate of Economics & Statistics of respective State Governments, and for All-India -- Central Statistical Organization
