Bangladesh army denied graveyard spot for son of ex army chief and President

Arafat Rahman was legally entitled to be buried at the Banani Military Graveyard but due to AL small mindedness his family's request was rejected by the authorities ...
 
There is lot of confusion, i think major question is
1. Is he entitled to be buried according to law (military service)
2. If no, there is no need to further duel on it.
3. If yes, who is responsible to take final answer. Militry or Government.
4. If burial denied because of vested interest i think they can go to Supreme court and decision can be taken fast because of national importance.
Can bangladesh member provide some light on it and please do not troll..........
 
Many like-minded and forward looking people in BD I dont see why that country needs to continuously be bogged down the the immature politics of 2 old ladies. They deserve much better than that
sir
you know the answer to that question
we also dont deserve to be ruled by nawaz and zardari but we do
 
Arafat burial at army graveyard not allowed

The army on Tuesday refused permission for burial of Arafat Rahman at the military graveyard at Banani although he deserved a place there in line with the guideline of the graveyard. Some serving and retired army officers said that Arafat, being a son of the late president and former army chief Ziaur Rahman, deserved to be buried in the military graveyard.

Arafat, also son of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia, was buried at Banani civil graveyard after his namaj-e-janaza at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in the city on Tuesday. He died of a heart attack in Malaysia on Saturday at the age 45years.BNP spokesmen claimed that permission for burial of Arafat was sought maintaining all formalities. They said the graveyard managers did not let them know the reasons for the denial of permission.

Retired major general Abdur Rashid said Station Headquarters and Cantonment Boards concerned maintained the graveyards and there was a guideline on allotment of land for burial.

Section-2 (Ka) of the rules titled the ‘Military Graveyard Guideline’ says spouse, son, daughter, father, mother, father-in-law and mother-in-law of serving and retired military personnel are entitled to burial in the graveyard.

Rashid said that Arafat was entitled to have a place in the graveyard as per priority list of the entitlement. However, there is discretionary power enjoyed by every authority, he said. He said that the authorities concerned might ‘exercise the discretionary power’.

Brigadier general Nurul Momen Khan, commander of Station Headquarters of Dhaka Cantonment, told New Age around 7.00pm that he was unable to speak as he was in a conference. He referred to the Inter Services Public Relations Directorate to know about the case of not allowing Arafat a place in the graveyard.

An officer at the Station Headquarters of Dhaka Cantonment on condition of anonymity said he did not know why Arafat’s burial in the graveyard was not allowed although he was entitled to have a place there in line with the guideline.
ISPR director Shaheenul Islam said he could not respond to the New Age queries as he was out of the capital.
Chief coordinator of BNP chairperson’s defence and security matters, Fazle Elahi Akbar said an application for permission for burial of Arafat in the graveyard was submitted to Dhaka Cantonment Board on Monday.
He said all formalities, including attaching the death certificate, were properly maintained.

Akbar, a retired army officer, said the officer on duty of the cantonment board at first did not receive the application.
The very officer, however, had received the application later on saying that receiving an application did not mean permission, he said. The cantonment board officials had promised to inform them about their decision, he said.
He said a copy of the application was also faxed to the cantonment board.

Syed M Ibrahim, chairman of Kalyan Party, a component of the BNP-led alliance, told reporters in front of Khaleda’s Gulshan office that they did not understand why permission was refused for Arafat’s burial at the military graveyard.
‘It was shocking,’ he said.

bold part: that is the rule
why posted lie until caught red handed... typical awami dalals
calm down ISIS, i said what i know
thanks for showing the real face of anti-Muslim mentality typical BAL supporter. for BDforever, since the Indian poster said so, it couldn't be wrong - "that is the rule"

and then BDforever goes on saying people and institutions of Bangladesh did not exist before 1971. maybe that makes sense. people and institutions of now-Bangladesh were independent before 1971. after 1971 they became part of a Muslimphobic Sanskrit-glorifying Nationalism called Bangladesh.

He was legally entitled to be buried at the Military Graveyard. Why did u jumped the gun ? Is it Bcs @idune opened the thread or is it bcs u wanted to go along with your ignorant Indian friend's quest of defending everything and anything the Hasina regime does? Whatever way u look at it , it goes against the "apolitical" hujuke bangali image that u want to portray of yourself.
