Untold Facts

Lessons: Indictment of AL BNP etc.

Both the Awami League (AL) and the BNP (Bangladesh Nationalist Party) have lately asked each other to have lessons. The AL chief has stated in verbatim as reported on the 19th February that by her government’s decision she has changed the name of the Zia International Airport dropping off Zia from the Appellation to teach BNP right lesson. One BNP’s senior leader, not the chief, on the other hand, on the following day urged the AL to take lessons from their own past mistakes. Both are right in their assertions. In wider perspective, however, not only the two parties but also some other as well have had lessons that they have unfortunately had forgotten, not only for their omissions, commissions, opportunism, vengeance but also in likely withering away possibly from the political scene of the people, sovereign entity and dignified identity.

The people of the land now called Bangladesh has no doubt a long past and history. But the governance through political party system is not that old but of recent development. The oldest political party is the Muslim League founded in 1906 but had rebirth in late 1970s. So had the rebirth of the Awami League from much condemned BKSAL in late 1970s, along with the Jamaat e Islami, Communist Party, etc. BNP was then in embryo and born in 1978. The Jatiya Party was born still later in early 1980s. In a brief sketch one can say with 100% certainty that all the major political parties now operating in Bangladesh had a new life and beginning in late 1970s and early 1980s. To be specific, they would not have been born or have any life in this country, had there been no historic 15th August of 1975. The victorious coup d etat of the few brilliant, heroic and patriotic sons of the soil opened avenues for the political parties to make start, re-start, function, capture and enjoy state power, and yet the beneficiary parties forgot the great event and the heroes who sacrificed even their lives in shear vengeance of political trial. Had there been no 15th August historic change, BKSAL would stay on keeping hereditary line going on possibly in order of Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal, Sheikh Moni, Sheikh Russel, etc. No Awami League would have re-birth, much less Hasina became the P.M. but was certain to end up a house wife of Wazed Mia as she was married off in her teens for the ‘father’ also wished so for her being of very low IQ (See, BBC fame Serajur Rahman, Daily Naydiganta February 2, 2010). Similarly Khaleda would have passed her house wife career of an army General, at best. Similarly, Ershad would have retired long go before forming his Jatiya party. Nizami would not have reborn so far his rise with the Jamaat was concerned.

Munafiqs - hypocrites and Nimakharams – ungratefuls are the two terms in usage in our social interactions. I wonder if the sensible people in this country would ask these Munafiqs and Nimakharams to take lessons in their escapist and opportunist dealings with the heroes of the 15th August.

Its correct to say that historically the psychic waves of people in this country is like two extremes of the cloak pendulum. The vacuum and information gap of over 35 years in the minds of the overwhelming millions of younger generation under 40-45 years age has totally obscured the realities of 1975. Thus the propaganda had totally taken over the truths and vicious realities of the 1972-75 that made the 1975 15th August change obvious and profusely welcomed not only by insiders but also by outsiders including many big powers in their immediate recognition of the post coup government.

The pity was that when those five heroes were being hanged through Kangaroo Court verdict, the execution of the great heroes were opposed by almost everywhere in the more civilized countries and by organizations of repute like the Amnesty International, the European Union, Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales, etc., the insider Munafiqs, and opportunist Nimakharams stayed very silent. They had booties to secure from the vengeful P.M. of the country and also likely from the Indian Intelligence R&AW and the Israeli secret service Mossad sources!

Its true that the 15th August spirit is not lost in execution of the five for the simple reason that the parties born and revived in the gainful fruit of the 15th August have not only been operating with ease but also continue to enjoy all fruits along with the people. What however seems very worrying that ‘Radar Control’ of Delhi on Dhaka got further boost and strengthened in the execution of the most patriotic nationalist heroes may easily cost many thing of Bangladesh’s vitality in terms of sovereignty, historic identity and distinct entity beyond redemption. The Munafiqs and the Nimakharams should have all additional lessons in the 15th August 1975 occurrence, I am sure.
