Once the Awami League goes . . .
Syed Badrul Ahsan

Our heads hang low, in unmitigated shame. Where the head should have been held high in this land of illuminating poetry and galvanising politics, it today takes a battering from those who should have shown us the way to a bright new world. Former prime minister Khaleda Zia has loudly and unabashedly served notice on the nation that once the Awami League goes out of office, all the acts and decisions it has taken in the past two years and will take in the remainder of its term will be considered illegal.

That is a bit rich coming from one whose party and political associates presided over, for a long time, some manifest wrongs in this beautiful country. And do not forget the long darkness they pushed us into as they tried commandeering our history and then putting it to the torch.

Let us now give free rein to our imagination in light of the portents of doom coming from the Begum. One of the first things the Bangladesh Nationalist Party will likely annul is the trial, conviction and execution of the assassins of the Father of the Nation. Please note that the BNP has said not a word in support of the judicial process that gave us back something of the self-dignity we lost as a people when Bangabandhu's assassins strutted free all around us. The impression was, and remains, one of the party's sulking at a return to rule of law.

So what Begum Zia means to do, if and when she regains political office, is declare the hanging of Farook Rahman and his accomplices an act of treason on the part of the Awami League government. She will then have Parliament restore the notorious indemnity ordinance in the constitution, to let us know that we the people committed a criminal act by restoring Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to the peaks that he was toppled from in August 1975.

Khaleda Zia's promise of vengeance will please everyone who has never been happy with Bangladesh, who indeed would like this country to mutate into a little Pakistan through a return to the morally outrageous two-nation theory once propagated by the All India Muslim League. Do not forget that between 1975 and 1996 and then between 2001 and 2006, this execrable political non-idea was put into operation in subtle fashion through so-called Bangladeshi nationalism.

Now, if the BNP comes back to power in this mood of fury and retribution, our future and the future of our children will once more come to rest in the hands of those who have never felt happy with Bengali nationalism. And a return to "Bangladeshi nationalism" will be one way of keeping this country divided, in a state of perennial ferment through a tribalisation of politics.

These people who feel unhappy with the spirit of 1971 will then ride roughshod over all of us. We will all fall together. It will once more be the war criminals of 1971 sporting the flag you and I fashioned, under the leadership of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, on their vehicles as ministers in a country they tried murdering in 1971.

The bottom-line, for you and for me and for all citizens of this country, is for us to be on guard against a return to office of those who have for decades insulted our self-esteem as a people and have refused to do penance for their sins. In these past two years, there are some dark, bitter truths we have come across. It is that those who took the country for a ride in the five years before January 2007 have not learnt the truth about themselves.

They are unhappy with the people …because the people gave them no opportunity for a return to power in December 2008. There is in them absolutely no embarrassment about the plunder they resorted to in their glory days. They conveniently forget that it was they who first initiated and perfected the humiliation we today know as remand in custody. They humiliated academics, politicians and journalists in the dark confines of police stations and cantonments.

It was their wickedness which saw the electoral roll bursting with non-existent voters. It was their man (and we speak of President Iajuddin Ahmed) who was entrusted with the job of stealing an election from us through making sure that those who took away our happiness would come back to take away whatever else that remained.

The Begum and her party are worried about the conditions of their imprisoned colleagues and political associates in prison. That is acceptable and understandable. And yet we must ask them if their conscience has ever made them wonder how these prisoners dehumanised us all in the year when the state of Pakistan tried running us out of our own land. They are unhappy with the prospect of a war crimes trial. You do not expect a patriot, a proper Bengali, to go morbid at the thought of ageing war criminals getting their comeuppance.

Khaleda Zia's vow of nullifying every act of the Awami League is a patent threat to all of us. If the threat comes to pass, the sunlight will go fleeing from our lives, the moon will lose its luster, poetry will die, politics will be no more, rivers will not run and good men and women will be fugitives in the wild woods.

Everything will pall. Everything will pale. Everything will fall.
