Read the posts above my comment. One is calling the child ' bad fruit' another saying it was necessary !
Well, I do wish that there was a better solution to it other than killing him. I'd generally support punishment of Mujib's killers for the sake of justice. Ironically, they are still running around freely even under the AL
If you were to live in Bangladesh right now, you can say that the AL under Hasina is not going great. Her son Joy is highly corrupt and pretty much does his best to defile Muhammad Yunus, although does so behind the scenes.
Now on a practical side, imagine if all of Mujib's kids were alive today? You should know well what the Mujib family did with all the aid money Bangladesh got at the time. It was also looted by the AL men. They even took all the money from the banks. All media outlets were shut down. No such thing as law and order in the early stages of Bangladesh back then. Not even a judiciary. There was
nothing.
Even Tejauddin Ahmed (who was a decent fellow) was taken into army custody and executed. So yes, even the army officers had unfulfilled demands.
Now suppose under those circumstances, what would happen to Mujib and his family? What would the freedom fighters and the ex-Pakistan military officers do? The end-result was obvious. And yes, Major Zia did play an indirect role - although it's too early to draw any conclusions about him. I find him an enigmatic character. Ironically, he was also assassinated. And guess by whom? Why, by the blessings of Hasina and Ershad.
Mujib was generally a good man,
but he was clearly barking up the wrong tree. Albeit a very dangerous one.
Now if we were to talk about today, does that tragic event deserve justice? In my opinion - yes. The same applies to the assassination of Zia. And would the guilty try hard to avoid justice? Why yes. They'd do everything to prevent their political careers from crashing right before their faces. And of-course the riches!
But the way his daughter is carrying out everything, the whole thing is just getting blown out of the water in my opinion.
And are the AL still corrupt? Why yes, even with a judiciary in place. The same can apply to the BNP.
It's a not a simple case of good guy vs. bad guy. Reality is rarely Hollywood or Bollywood.
All I can say is that there is a huge air of uncertainty in the politics of Bangladesh. It's economy is doing fine for the most part, but it's politics is heading in the opposite direction. Much of that has to do with Hasina's leadership.
