Untold Facts

Farook, Shahreer, Huda etc. died not defeated: Mujib was defeated and then Died

All living matter is mortal. So is man. Fortunate in death are those who die for great cause. Army men take vow to die for a great cause. The cause is fighting for one’s nation and country. Farook, Shahreer, Huda, and two Mohiuddins gave life for the great cause they took vow for to defend just at the beginning of the commissioned army career.

They kept their vow to the last no matter caring anything that they had been branded as ‘killers’ not only by Hasina in shear vengeance (See, daily Naya Diganta, Dhaka, 24 March 2009) but also by the spineless judges seating on the comfortable cushions passed on to them by the British colonial rules along with the old fashioned code that the past colonizers themselves in their freer country do not own now so far as death sentence is concerned for due respect for the latest version of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS (UDHR).

The international civil communities have already condemned the POLITICAL TRIAL (See, The Economist 27 November 2009) and execution to death in unusual haste of those five deeply patriot army men and decorated freedom fighters of 1971. The condemnations were joined by appeals from the European Union, some Muslim countries who still had the penalty in force but abandoned by 95 other more civilized and humanly countries respectful for UDHR. The great martyrs have thus opened avenues for the brightest legacy of patriotism for Bangladesh’s history to be rewritten in future like the native, for example, here in Bengal of the patriot and martyr KHUDIRAM executed to death by the colonial British judges having had based on the same criminal codes.

The executions to death on the 27-28 January 2010 midnight in Dhaka of the five heroes for the misplaced and misrepresented ‘offence’ making successful mutiny into an ordinary killing matter, however, did not as yet judge to be null and void the notorious and hateful absolute dictatorial BKSAL the fallen leader had ironically wished to live with for all his life and even after for his next hereditary in succession. In other words, the notorious BKSAL did not survive but buried along with his fall in the 1975 mid August.

The heroic freedom fighters took on very rightly not only for ending the corruption bonanza he hold on but also the anti-democratic lone party dictatorial BKSAL and the BKSAL’s absolutely oppressive rule. The self sacrificing patriots had cut the very roots of betrayal of the 20th century Mirzafar the common democratic aspirations of the people who otherwise appeared ‘democrat’ in rhetoric but had been the meanest of the worst rulers in recent civilized human history. Not only that the demagogue had to pass away but also with the death the mode of rule of the notorious BKSAL. The five brilliant army officers embraced peaceful death but kept alive their commitment to the country to be run through openness, pluralism and multiparty democracy. On the contrary, the demagogue passed away and along with him the most notorious BKSAL.

Whose success was there at death? Mujib’ Mirzafar’s or of the great patriots Farook and his close colleagues in the great acts of the victorious mutiny and revolution of the 15th August1975?
