BDR Massacre one year on: Fixing up Scapegoats for Hiding Real Culprits

The Goebbels of Bangladesh, it is known through a news published, has taken on to observe the first shameful and most painfully notorious ‘first anniversary’ of the 25-26 February 2009 massacre at the Dhaka BDR Head Quarter as “Pilkhana Killing Day”. Why? What about the inquiry reports? Where are the authentic documents about tortures, killings and rapes of the victims’ female members? Who the behind culprits and planners had been of the mayhem of unprecedented barbaric nature? Why one year gone by and people are still in almost total dark about the inside stories of the worst savagery? Why had been so far the continuing hush up? Not to hedge and hide Hasina’s own and big musclemen cadres? Not to keep off facts of involvement of commandos from across the border that had been pointed out by reliable quarters immediately after the 25-26 February (09) commando-style attack?

One year is too long a period in the backdrop of the fact that the Government first of all stated clearly to finish up the inquiry in a week. On they kept extending the time to finish it. In the mean time, the people have been kept in dark about the actual fate of the reports whatever had been done, one by the government intelligence and the other made by the army. The army one faced first hurdle as changes made in composition of the committee, it is alleged, for interference with ulterior motive from the top. Possibly, the crucial matters lie in this area.

P.M. Hasina just like her father abhors anything about and of the Army. That idea and attitude just fitted well with the big neighbor’s strategy. The rationale behind the common attitude is very simple. Bangladesh need not have any regular army. The cost for keeping the army for the poor country is unnecessary. For Hasina the regular army is not only superfluous but also that it might pose threat to her lust for emerging and continuing in dynastic absolute power. In 1975 it made the serious threat that might again be equally threatening. Her father from the same fear raised a parallel Para military force, so called Jatiya Rakhsmi Bahimni not kept under the constitutionally state control but under India’s control. In fact, India’s top level intelligence officer had planned, organized and controlled the force from Delhi’s remote button. The 1975 victorious August coup put a halt and proscribed the force, and merged that into the regular army. Since then the national army got integrated and gained strength and confidence to guard the sovereignty of the country. That turned eye sore to India.

Naturally as the worst ever lackey of India unmatched in intellectual power of the Kautilyas and Chanakyas, Hasina naturally does not feel at ease with the confident army set up of the country. Since she took up politics in early 1981 she spared no moment not condemning the patriotic armed forces. Her sole psychological wound was that the army had killed her father. He declared in open that she hated politics but to take reprisal of her father’s blood she took up politics ( See, BBC fame Serajur Rahman, Dailyt Nayadiganta, Dhaka, 24 March, 2009). She did that in the crudest way of POLITICAL TRIAL blackening the face of Bangladesh judiciary, albeit having had the most loyal and most obedient servant there, unfortunately, for the nation. She got the job done as she psychopathically crammed in the most vengeful way.

Through the power game she played since 1981, she got the triumph in 2010 January 27-28 in hanging the ‘killers’ of her father to her greatest sadistic joy. In power she had the similar sadistic joy in 2009 February killing of the 57 army officers in the BDR head quarter, it is well known, in her full knowledge so much so that the BDR chief Major General Shakil Ahmad himself in his last moments of life being shot at repeatedly phoned Hasina through mobile set in the morning at about 9:30 A.M on the 25 February to do something that Hasina then did not deny, certainly for her carelessness. Had she responded promptly with the army ready then to counter attack the rebels, many lives of the officers under armed attack could have been saved. The killings, disposing dead bodies after killing, raping officers wives, killing after raping, looting of house hold ornaments and properties - all these despicable barbarities went on for two days and two dark nights snapping off electricity - all in the full knowledge of Hasina.

She took ‘pride’ that she had managed the rebellion ‘peacefully’! At what cost? Lives of 57 army officers and 16 other civilians in letting the savagery go uninterrupted while the army chief stood in silence beside her as mere spectator while their cohorts got killed in the most cruel way and in unarmed position!. In between all the acts of savageries the killers met and bargained for immunity for the killings they did that Hasina ‘graciously’ agreed to do.

The drama went further beyond. Her Home Minister Sahara and some behind the scene actors went inside the BDR Head Quarter for assuring the killers that they would be pardoned and no reprisal would be taken. But savagery had then not been stopped but been going on inside. Again not outside Hasina’s information and knowledge.

The episode has lately been further out in the shape and kind of virulent attacks by Hasina and her close ones of late President Ziaur Rahman. The dismantling of Zia’s murals at different places, replacement of names of institutions, removal of almost all historic reading materials mentioned about Zia in school textbooks, decades old documented reference materials like Muktijudho O Rifles (Weekly Holiday, Dhaka, 20 February, 2010) and lately abandoning Zia’s name from the appellation of the International Airport of Dhaka that Hasina mentioned in a meeting on the 19th February in Bengali verbatim, BNP KE SHIKHYA DEAR JONYO - to teach BNP lessons- are only symptoms in the same megalomaniac psyche of the wrong headed crazy lady. There is a strong rumor that Zia’s Mazar at the Dhaka Sher e Bangle Nagar site would not only be defiled soon by her cadres/hired hoodlums but the grave itself as a whole with whatever contents are there would be removed. One group is saying that it would be done at dead of night through blasting high power bombs creating deep crate like a small pond there. It may not be irrelevant to recall the fact that the woman taking the best advantage of the broadness of Zia re-entered Bangladesh on the 17th May 1981 after six years of self exile in India, and in concert with her vengeance the R&AW operatives killed him in two weeks on the 30th May as the fact was later on published in Indian media itself. One must believe that the vengeance of the psychic case lady is at the worst in political history of this country.

One may ponder about that she got the courage just after she had managed through mockery of justice to hang the anti BKSAL coup leaders on the 27-28 January night.

All the vile actions as are some mentioned above including her involvement in the 2009 February BDR massacre now orchestrating to observe the first ‘anniversary’ on the 25th February 2010, it seems that with confidence Hasina is up to for she is fully, to put it in the verbatim of Indian Bengali retired General Shankar Roychoudhury, under ‘Delhi’s Radar control’.

Internally the real culprits in planning the massacre in close concert with the anti-Muslim Indian intelligence R&AW and one of the most efficient and more ruthlessly anti-Muslim Israeli secret service Mossad operatives are around and very close to Hasina for decades that she has been trying to hedge and hide not only in the hush ups of the facts to fix up scapegoats but also by making razzmatazz in the notoriously Goebbels style observance of the so called anniversary.

Soon after the BDR massacre Indian born renowned journalist Sunita Paul in a dispatch made on the 29th March (09) raised 30 pertinent questions about the massacre game. I am not certain if the inquiry teams put any effort to find answers to them. One point may be recalled here. Hasina’s son Joy dashed to Dubai Airport on the 27th February (09), that is, within hours, and there he handed over thick envelops containing cash dollars to fleeing men presumed to have actively participated in the massacre. Did anybody neutral have this point rightly sorted out to minimum satisfaction? Joy’s teacher at the university in the USA, a Jew and possibly a secret service Mossad man, co-authored ‘thesis’ with him about Madarasa educated ‘terrorists’ both in the Bangladesh army and in action in society!.
