Untold Facts

Slogan of Change of Days Vs Change of Names: Hasina to Hinda, Sheik to Shekhor

From my faith and life experience I do firmly believe ‘What is allotted can’t be blotted.’ I don’t believe at all, the political leaders work learning from the writings of walls or from the teaching of history. They are directed by their own destinies. When they are fated to flourish they from their own intuitions choose the right path and, on the other hands, when ill-fated to disaster, they ignore all advices, warnings or signs of doom. The path of peril seems to them so paved, smooth and colorful.

The avarice of power make them so paranoid that those who being well-wishers try to advise or warn them, are taken as enemies. They know ‘Excess of anything is bad.’ But they think they are always doing the best being within perimeter of normalcy, they are transgressing their limit, though. It happened to every body of power and celebrity stature who were, in the ends, destined to sheer dooms. We have seen it in the early to the latest history of Pharaoh to Namrud, Shahan Shah of Iran to Saddam of Iraq and Meer Jafar to Sheik Mujib of Bangladesh.

When Sheik Hasina is damn-care about those histories or stories, I don’t wonder at all. She is not heeding to any warnings; and she is intrigued by the every move her in-built devils make for her. She is thinking her every step is superb and peerless; and she is making a new era in the history. She is over confident and vain-glorious with the belief that whole country is behind her like a solid rock.

But alas! She became blind to look back the fate and example of her own father. Can she imagine, how much popular leader his father was. Even though , now and after 1972, I was one of the harshest critiques of Sheik Mujib, I was during the time of liberation war million times ready to sacrifice my life for him and our country. But what happened within a very short span of three an half years! Those who were once ready to give their blood and lives for the leader, didn’t even shake or shiver to severe the soul of the leader from his body. Sheik Hasina can never reach to the level of Sheik Mujib. May Allah save her from such dooming destiny her father had. But I am afraid, if any thing happen to her government in such calamitous scale, we may see Mr. Khondker Abdul Hamid leading a delegate to Saudi Arabia or other middle eastern countries and won’t not feel shy to comment like “Nation is now relieved of Princess Hasina, modern time’s Hinda of the east in the same vein Malek Ukil, Sheik Mujib’s parliament speaker told in London that we are now relieved of Sheik Mujib, the Pharaoh.

Sheik Hasina is a born-deceiver . She has given hope and slogan of changing days from worse to better for the people. But what we are witnessing is, she is not doing anything in that direction. We only see her too busy with taking the revenge. She doesn’t care about her promise and getting the hearts of people, rather she became crazy to chew the Kolija of her alleged enemies. She executed the dauntless heroic freedom fighters who readied them for any sacrifice for the oppressed people of the country to undo BAKSAL [ I call it Kal Bas or Black Bamboo] and overthrow the repressive regime of Sheik Mujib. Now she is hyper-embolden after being able to hang his fathers killers. Now she is adamantine to put the once pardoned collaborators to trial and thus, root out the Jamat-Shibir, the strongest potential enemies of her evil agenda and party. By the way, there is nothing in her world shameful or immoral that she can’t do for the sake of power and self-appeasement. She didn’t once hesitate to flirt with Golam Azam and Nizami for the Shahi Kursi. Now she is hell-bent to guillotine them.

Again, she did extra-ordinary job of getting the court verdict nullifying the 5th amendment of constitution. She has been consolidating power and is in the ever best position to fulfill the dream of Sheik Mujib and perhaps,she is thinking of restituting BAKSAL [KAL-BAS] of his father dream project or Mujibbad. With this dianosorous dream in the down-town of her brain, She is trying to remove all the possible obstacle in the way. So She has been trying desperately to weaken the Zia’s nationalist force. And with that end she is resorting to all the meanest means to tarnish the image of Zia. But she may not know it or forget, everything doesn’t happen in the way one wishes for. Maybe this name changing game or scheme will not help her at all, rather it may hurt her so badly and can‘t tolerate that pain . Her all ill-wills and intents may turn to boomerang. She never does remind herself the saying ‘Man proposes and God disposes.’ She may think, that proverb is not for her because she is a woman, not a man and Allah is always on her side. Well, if God wants someone’s doom He keeps him or her in complacent or darkness. As we have known from the story of Sheik Mujib. When Sheik Mujib was warned about the possible conspiracy, he brushed off every warning telling that the Bangalees can’t kill him as he loves them more than he loves himself.

Hasina is, of course, transgressing her limit. She is trying to efface the name of Zia from everywhere. She doesn’t want to understand, it is too adventurous mission impossible. Not only in Bangladesh, Zia is in the heart of millions of Bangladeshi all over the world. She can , perhaps, delete the name of Zia everywhere in Bangladesh. But again, no wonder, what will she do if she sees roads or streets in the vicinity of Kaaba Sharif or Medina-Monowara are named after Zia or a gate of Kaaba named after Zia as Babel Zia or a street around white house is named as Zia Avenue. Then probably she will find no alternative but to suicide.

She won’t recall the proverb “ Eek Maguey Sheet Jayna“. BNP and its allies may have good time and Awami-BAKSAL may have bed time at some cyclical turn of political history. And they, maybe, again BNP become victorious overwhelmingly or with absolute majority. And they then may follow the same evil-revenging example of Hasina. They may change everything and every given name of Hasina government in more dramatic way. Like, they may change the name of her father’s birthing village with Pakistani fashion asToongisthan instead of Toongipara, TariqNagar for Gopal Ganj, Khaleda City for Farid pur, Zia City for Dhaka; And they may get daredevil in changing also the name of individuals who they dislikes like CHANDRA SHEKHOR for Sheik Mujib, HINDA for Hasina and PORAJOY for Mr. Joy.

People, especially the rulers should be humble and grateful to God because powers come from God and maybe for great testing. And certainly, Allah dislikes the transgressors. May Allah give all of us ‘taofique’ to understand His great design through us in our every step of life. Aameen.
