RE: [ Noakhali Online Group ] Our Journalists & Intellectuals stood beside Killers

Dear all,

I hope all of you are doing well. I was following the last couple of emails on the BDR mutiny issue. There is no doubt that this was a tragic incident and I would like to mention the following points.

1. It is true that Army has commenced crimes from time to time. However if our politicians were honest, we would not have had all these issues. If someone needs to be hanged first, it should be our politicians not the ARMY. Today Generals are promoted on their "political beliefs not their qualities"!

2. We cry about democracy! What democracy did we have? Regardless of the reign of our political parties! I have friends in medical college who could not enrol in MS or MD because they were not the members of then current government political parties.

3. A lot of people hate RAB and their unjustified killings! In a country like ours, when the most wanted criminals get out of jail and start rampaging again! What solution do you have for them? I live in Chittagong and I know that in Fatickchari - RAB was the first to go in and kill the most wanted terrorists!

4. I have seen a lot of so called intellectuals in "Australia" and "USA" who have the highest of the highest degrees but blindfolded. I know of a guy - a lecturer of "Jahangir Nagar University"
who is doing his PHD in "Good Governess" but if you read his comments and writings- I am sure that you will get cranky with his one sided rhetoric's! He once mentioned about one of the prime ministers of Bangladesh who in his view have never committed any "SINS". How shambolic! But remember he is a PHD student of "Good Governess"

5. When I see the so called intellectuals even our Prime Minister highlighting Bangladesh and Fundamentalism in the western world to get added advantage- I feel deeply saddened and furious! Don't get me wrong! There is no doubt that the previous government did promote the "Fundamentalists" in some ways! But even though I don't see the point of highlighting this "Untrue" issue in the western world! What purpose does this serve? Whose purpose does this serve?

6. We can shout about "Democracy" but think about the maids in our houses! The way we torture them! Think about the discrimination between our class of people! The way we treat them! The way we kick them! The way we slap them! We have to go a long way before we can do more for our democracy.

Finally

7. It's easier to write "Commentaries" and lot more and blaming others; however each and everyone of us is responsible for "today's Bangladesh", it's misery and its plight! I don't know about you all; how much you have done or contributed towards your country- but I am sure that I am guilty as well. I specially hate those people who are enjoying the "Western facilities" being stationed in a Western country however they criticize every single aspect of their country while not living in Bangladesh. Do they have that right to highlight those points without facing those?

8. Lets not fight over all these issues. We will have difference of opinions but let's respect each other. "The soldiers that we have lost are soldiers of this soil"- Let's salute them and pray for their departed souls. Lets pray for our country so that it can go through all these transitional periods and stabilize. At least we can do one thing, criticizing "us" before criticizing "others".

Please note ami ekjon khudro buddhir manush- tai amar aai likha kaukay jodi aghat koray tobay aagayee khoma chaye nichchi.

Shobai bhalo thakben.
