Rule of Law of the Wrong Headed Egoist Vengeful Hasina!

It’s amazing to listen to Sheikh Hasina’s sermon to uphold rule of law. Well, she must mean so if the relevant verdict of law court would be to her liking and favor and not otherwise.
Who the sensible soul is who may believe the notorious liar, egoist, wrong headed and blood thirsty Sheikh Hasina making her stance for rule of law? None would do but only the gullible sycophants.

First, can Hasina make public the figure for rule of law, possibly billions of Taka, in money term her cadres of all genres illegally earned flouting normal laws openly at the cost of public expense during the last 1 year and one month through rent seeking, tender snatching, underhand dealings selling favors to helpless clients at home and collusive partners abroad?
Second, how about the corruption and illegal money earning cases that stood against almost all his party men by now all withdrawn in the period she stayed in top of the government? How about the 13 cases she had against herself but all gone off the list without even any nominal inquiry?

Third, is the rule of law working at all in massive Awami politicization of the administration?
Fourth, is it rule of law huddling 17,000 opposition political activists like beasts in about a week?
Fifth, is that rule of law that the Awami League party cadres and loyalists going scot-free doing even murders in open like they did kill Abu Baker, a brilliant student of DU the other day?
There was a substantive strong rumor in the famous case verdict of the 27th January. The specific junior judge who would have never got the position of the Chief Justice in normal case and would retire in the position lower than the top position by the February 7 (10) was made the Chief justice by Hasina in collusive understanding for making a specific final Review verdict in the specific case. He kept the promise for the undue favor he had received that made Hasina, her cadres and few in Kolkata jubilant. That the final verdict made a mockery of justice was privately commented on by many senior jurists in the country. At the international level the veracity was seriously questioned and labeled that very rightly as the POLITICAL TRIAL OF HASINA (The Economist, 27 November 2009). The rush for executing of the five noted and decorated freedom fighters and former brilliant army officers in the made up case in hours, despite repeated genuine appeals made by many reputed humanitarian organizations like the Amnesty International, the European Union etc., proved beyond doubt that the case and the verdict remained seriously flawed but only to satisfy Hasina’s personal vengeance for further reason that the 5 convicts had been in lower down the serial of death convicts not less than 1020 including 36 women in the 67 prisons of Bangladesh.

It is, however, not correct to state that the case since the very inception and start had not had the sort of collusive engagement of Hasina started in mid 1996, her 1st term of P.M. She had the only goal as she herself frankly admitted to take to politics in 1981 (See BBC fame Serajur Rahman, Daily Nayadiganta 24 March 2009) that she hated politics but only to avenge the blood of her father she entered in the politics of Bangladesh. All through the period the judges during her rule then and this time most loyally followed her dictate so much so that the term she used as KHUNI or murderer had been adhered to by the judges except the few that did permit leave to appeal in 2007. In international legal norms and usages they were not murderers but successful mutineers having had inherent indemnity in addition to immunity granted by the post 15th August 1975 coup government on the 26th August 1975. The 27th January verdict flouted all the immunities and the immediate execution in unusual hurry on the following night of five to death as scapegoats leaving the big shots like the coup period Army Chief General Safiullah etc out of even indictment for they lined up with Hasina in the party thus now has rightly been documented in historical records not only as the clear miscarriage of justice and judicial murder but also in gross breach of rule of law that fell far short of fair, neutral and free from interference. .
