10. Awami Tyranny
Awami Tyranny Should Force BNP to Rethink and Reach Out
It seems Bangladesh Awami League (BAL) is determined to crush BNP as well as BNP-Islamist Alliance just as Fakhruddin-Moinuddin-Shamsul Huda did try to break BNP into pieces and tear it apart. It seems the current brute Baksalite dictatorship is much worse than the 9/11 blueprint for the suppression, even annihilation, of BNP. It is clear that Awami League has already established a regime in its effort to perpetuate its rule of oppression and persecution turning the country into a gulag-type police state and politicizing every branch of the government. For example, look at
(1) Awami League's harassing ouster attempts on Khaleda Zia from her house,
(2) Dropping thousands of lawsuits against Awami supporters while keeping active all those against the BNP leaders,
(3) Filing more and more lawsuits against the BNP followers,
(4) Throwing into jail and physically torturing during the evil practice of remand the BNP leaders one after another (Ehsanul Hoque Milon, Mahmudur Rahman, Goyesshor Chandra Roy, Shamsher Mobin Choudhury, Shahid Uddin Anny, Mirza Abbas and many more),
(5) Closing down the media outlets with or without the slightest hint of objective and unbiased stance such as Channel 1, Daily Amar Desh and the wonderful talk show Point of Order hosted by Kazi Zesin on Bangla Vision,
(6) Calling public meetings where BNP also previously called meetings around the country and declaring 144 so that BNP can be prevented from generating public support,
(7) Arresting and remanding top Jamat leaders,
(8) Endlessly attacking BNP-Jamat alliance right and left for the kind of misdeeds which they (AL) themselves are now committing, circumventing the all-empty slogan of "Din Bodol" into the nefarious and vindictive agenda of "Din Dokhol;" and
(9) Changing the names or naming scores of national institutions after Sheikh Mujib only by way of the ancient cult culture and idol worship and North Korean-style leader/hero worship (Bangabondhu Convention Center, B. Medical U, B. Shetu, B. SAF Games, B. International Airport (proposed), B. Avenue, B. Hall, B. College, so on. And now, Mr. Mohammad Musa, a diehard Awamite with a loud voice dedicated against BNP-Jamat alliance, who has been appointed secretary to this AL govt. under the freedom-fighters quota, has proposed the naming of Dhaka city as B. City on the talk show Trityo Matra. Apparently a God-fearing man, unfortunately, he has recently fallen from grace due to his alleged unjust and immoral relationships with a number of his house maids as reported in the daily Amader Shomoy. Ah! Mr. Mohammad Musa).
The above are just some examples of Awami destructive, vindictive and repressive politics. Under the circumstances, BNP should do everything possible to gather strength to take on AL. One of the things BNP should do is to reorganize its party apparatus. In this connection I would like to bring the following to the attention of Begum Khaleda Zia and the BNP leadership for their consideration:
1. BNP must immediately reach out and bring back B. Choudhury, Oli Ahmad, Mir Shawkat, Ferdous Koreshi, Choudhury Tanvir, Alamgir Kabir, and the independent MP (Mr. Azim) and others who until recently belonged to BNP. All of them will definitely make the party strong. If AL can accept Ershad and win the election and go on with such a dictatorial rule, why can't BNP be able to accept those mentioned above?
2. BNP should drop those who are hopelessly weak and ineffective such as Dr. R A Ghani or Barkatullah Bhulu and replace them with those who are stronger and louder with a considerable amount of public influence.
3. BNP should bring to the forefront Major Hafizuddin Ahmed—an able and competent man, eloquent and articulate and forceful. Let's forget about his so-called "reformist" past which, it is true, was extremely painful. He made a serious mistake but should be given a chance. He does indeed deserve a chance. He is an asset to the party, no doubt. If the late Saifur Rahman and Lt. Gen. Mahbubur Rahman could be back on the Standing Committee, why not Major Hafizuddin? He is a lot more, much more effective than Saifur and Mahbubur. Major Hafiz is one of the best and ablest men in BNP.
4. In order to strengthen and energize the party, BNP may consider dropping Khandoker Delwar and replacing him with some one abler and more charismatic, more inspiring. While Khandoker's political statements are sound and shrewd, he is too old to be impressive and to motivate others. He is also not perceived to be a man of clean image. He is old and weak—another elderly sitting Saifur.
5. In order to strengthen and energize the party, BNP should increase the number of SC members and that of VPs and advisers to include many other prominent figures from around the country on regional representation basis so that all districts are represented in the central leadership and the rank and file supporters become happy, active, and excited.
6. A very important suggestion is that Madam Chairperson ought to meet will all organizational wings – SC members, VPs, Advisers, and Executive Committee members more frequently for regular exchange of views and ideas as well as the publicity on the media. Such frequent meetings, not just with SC members but all other party wings, are very important.
7. BNP Mohila Dal is very weak. It needs to be strengthened under the exciting leadership of the current female MPs who are doing a fantastic job strongly defending the party and vigorously attacking AL. Look how strong Awami Mohila organization.
8. There should be a BNP think tank comprising intellectuals and journalists and professors and lawyers and retired bureaucrats and army officers and technocrats and industrialists.
9. BNP should remain in alliance with Jamat and all other Islamic parties and strengthen the alliance. There must be a BNP Ulema Dal without delay. AL has already one.
10. BNP leaders are so soft and polite that they do not mind addressing Sheikh Mujib as "Bangabandhu" but unfortunately AL leaders never address Zia with respect as President or General Zia, who was also a great freedom fighter and whose magical announcement in his unsurpassable magical voice of the independence struggle on the Radio in 1971 took the struggle forward to success and would remain a key moment of utmost significance in the history of Bangladesh. BNP leaders should stop addressing AL leaders as "Manonyo" since they never address BNP leaders in the like manner. Anyway, in the West, no such form of address. All are addressed just by their proper names.
11. While BAL leaders attack anything and everything which has the slightest smell of opposition, BNP leaders are so simple and naïve they never attack the Daily Star, Observer, Prothom Alo and Bhorer Kagoj and Shangbad and Jugantor, all of which are directly supportive of AL, almost as its propaganda mouthpiece.
I hope BNP leadership would consider the above suggestions. They need to bring together those who are inspiring, loud-speaking, tough-talking, sharp, brilliant, smart, and intelligent with organizational skills and clean image.
