News from Bangladesh-Updates and Discussion

Apparently SAK had a hotline to MUA during the caretaker government and was guiding things directly or through his planted people. There are many JSD people within BNP and AL. Some of the downfall is blamed on these people especially Shimul Biswas and Maruf Kamal Khan who both have leftist backgrounds.
Mannan Bhuyian was also from that lot and Khaleda Madam rightly understood his role but alas! It was only after the damage was done. See, mass infiltration in admin, military and judiciary happened to be Lenin's path before he threw Tsars up. Since then commie nurtured it in their hearts and wherever they could implied it. For India, they were handy tools and dada like-minded, so it put BD under them for experiment and never cared for 170 people. Now I see, how correct Masud Mojumdar was to say they FUA, SAK gangs were INDIA's B, C team etc.
 
Khaleda Zia still has not removed Shimul Biswas or Maruf Kamal Khan. The main culprit for exchanging money to get nominations according to some allegations is Dr. Khandaker Moshharraf Hossian. All these must be removed but also Adv. Adilur Rahman Khan who is also ex-JSD. Mannan Bhuiyan was certainly part of these conspiracies but madam was warned many times about him.

The enormity of Khaleda's mistake takes me back to the notion that WOMAN POSSESSES LESS INTELLIGENCE THAN MAN AND ISN'T QUALIFIED TO LEAD A NATION. Prof. Azam once in his 'E JIBONE JA DEKHLAM' series stated that he unconditionally supported BNP to form GOVT. in 93 but in return Madam put him in trial for BD's citizenship. And it was Nizami that hinted first that FUA GOVT was contained with Ghano Bahini members but Madam probably didn't understand the message. The far I analyze, the more seems BNP is a toothless party and inherited its support from Muslim Leaguers. Just because JI was successfully painted as RAZAKAR's party, those silent majorities (Muslim Leaguers In heart) voted BNP like their predecessors did in favor of PAK in 1946. I also think that RAW knows it all and that's why it can exploit BNP so easily but it can't do same to JI since it is very organized and an ideological party, so it wants to liquidate JI leaders by trialing them for phony war crimes.

20 hurt as BCL factions clash at JU

At least 20 students were injured in a clash between two factions of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) at Jahangirnagar University today over establishing dominance on the campus.

Police fired at least 30 teargas shells to disperse the battling students at midday today.

Additional contingent of police were deployed on the campus as tension mounts high.

Students said the clash broke out around 12:30pm between the BCL factions - one led by BCL JU unit president Sohel Parvez and general secretary Mahmud Naser and the other by Azibur Rahman.

The students allegedly fired gunshots during the battle.

Sohel Parvez told The Daily Star that the activists of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) and Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS) in guise of the BCL tried to taint the image of the university and the BCL activists resisted them.

He said all JCD and ICS activists became BCL members overnight.


Witnesses said the BCL students led by Sohel drove out the students of Azibur group from AFM Kamaluddin Hall and Salam Barkat Hall Thursday midnight.

Being driven out, Azibur group took shelter at Bhasani Hall and Bangabandhu Hall.

Since then, Sohel group was preparing to drive them out of those halls too and Azibur group was also preparing to reoccupy AFM Kamaluddin Hall and Salam Barkat Hall.

JU Proctor Professor Nasir Uddin said the clash erupted after a group of students who were outside the halls over the last several years came back to the dormitories.

The proctor admitted to some blank gunshots but denied any shoot-outs on the campus.

The BCL leaders also denied any shoot-out.

BCL leader Sohel accused Vice Chancellor Professor Moniruzzaman of unleashing the JCD and ICS students to taint the image of the university.

Ashulia police said no case was filed until 7.00pm.

If the rampage by BCL continues,then no one will believe Mr.Sohail Taz's words anymore.

I guess one needs to inquire if Mr. Taz has won by 'Digital Thievery' or not..
People should never forgive the traitorous generals and Malaun's dalals for their BD sell-out. The following is another prove of electioneering--

Violence on the campus

Strangely the activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League are continuing to indulge in incidents of violence and engage themselves in intra-organisation clashes in violation of the orders of the Prime Minister and Awami League (AL) chief Sheikh Hasina. In the latest such incident at least 30 students received injuries in a clash between rival groups of the Bangladesh Chhatra League, associate organisation of the AL, at Jahangirnagar University over capture of seats in the residential halls on Friday. The clash erupted when activists of one group swooped on another group with iron rods, machetes and firearms. In retaliation, the faction of the BCL under attack regrouped with the help of pro-BNP Chhatradal activists. The two feuding groups traded at least 25 rounds of gunshot during the clash resulting in the injuries to at least 30 students including twenty belonging to both sides. Police rushed to the spot fired dozens of tear gas canisters to disperse the activists who were firing at each other in presence of the law enforcers. The university proctor and some other teachers tried to mediate between the groups but all in vain. According to press reports, earlier on Wednesday, the BCL faction led by its JU unit president and secretary, seized control of Kamaluddin Hall ousting their rivals. Immediately they were joined by BCL activists from Salam-Barkat Hall. On Thursday, Chhatra League activists at Al-Beruni Hall and Mir Mosharraf Hossain Hall expressed their allegiance to the main faction which was driven out of the halls on January 10 by their rivals.

People have been stunned by the return of the politics of violence and occupation of halls by student organisations after the recent national elections despite the timely warning by Sheikh Hasina herself against indulging in such activities. Unfortunately, even a section of the activists of the Chhatra League, an associate body of AL had paid no heed to what she said and resorted to vandalism and forcible occupation of residential halls in different educational institutions. Incidents of violence took place in the higher educational institutions across the country in the last few days, and several institutions have been closed down following clashes between activists of different students' organizations backed by political parties. The academic future of thousands of students is at stake and about 200 students have been injured in clashes between activists of the AL-backed Chhatra League, BNP-backed Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal and the Jamaat-backed Chhatra Shibir. Besides, around 5,000 students have been forced to vacate their residential halls for fear of attacks by students backed by the ruling party.

The situation is very alarming as peaceful atmosphere is essential on the campus for pursuit of studies. It is very unfortunate that even the stern warning by Sheikh Hasina was not enough to desist Chhatra League activists from resorting to violence and unwarranted activities. It is alleged that the government has not taken stern actions to stop such activities. The leaders of Chhatra League are also blamed for not taking action against violators of law and the order of the Prime Minister. These sorts of incidents violence and occupation must be stopped at any cost and that should be done before the time runs out.

BCL locks down CU, gives VC '48 hours'

Chittagong, Jan 17 (bdnews24.com) – BCL students locked down Chittagong University campus and gave the vice chancellor 48 hours to resign on Saturday.

"They lifted an hours-long siege of the VC residence, but the siege to the main entrance, the registrar's office and other key buildings are still on," Hathazari police officer-in-charge Md Alamgir Hossain told bdnews24.com at 11pm.

Earlier in the day, the OC said, six platoons of armed police were deployed on campus, as BCL held the campus hosatge by padlocking buildings and the main gates.

The AL-backed student wing also surrounded VC M Badiul Alam's residence and issued their ultimatum to him through Chittagong additional police superintendent Amena Begum, he said.

University offices were closed and all vehicle movement suspended.

Witnesses say tensions mounted after members of Islami Chhatra Shibir expelled members of BCL from Hassan Cottage on campus, a traditional stronghold of the pro-Jamaat Shibir.

Senior teachers, officials and provosts of different halls began a meeting with VC Badiul Alam at 2pm to find a solution to the crisis that brought the institution to a standstill.

Three hours later, emerging from the meeting, assistant proctor Manzur Morshed said they had "discussed the situation which is now under control."

The siege of the VC's house was lifted.

Additional police have been deployed to avert any untoward situation, Morshed said.

Meanwhile, a group of "pro-liberation" teachers also demanded removal of the VC, appointed by the past BNP-Jamaat government, accusing him of corruption in university appointments.

Associate professor Hossain Kabir told bdnews24.com, "There are serious allegations of unfair means in appointments of teachers and employees."

A syndicate meeting was also called off by vice chancellor Alam amid the troubles.

"New teachers were supposed to be appointed and temporary teachers and officials were to be made permanent at the next meeting on Jan 19," said syndicate member Md Kamaluddin.

"But faced with pressure from teachers, the syndicate meeting was suspended," said Kamaluddin.

Dean of the social sciences faculty, Prof Gazi Salauddin told bdnews24.com, "The accusation against the BNP-Jamaat backed VC, of corruption in appointments, is an old one."

"We protested in the past but nothing happened as he had a strong backing."

The pressure on the VC has mounted after the change of government, said the dean.

BCL students defended their action Saturday, saying they had failed to get the administration to act after being attacked by Shibir students.

"We wanted a peaceful solution to this but the administration did not respond to our call," CU Chhatra League general secretary Md Ershad Hossain told bdnews24.com.

"We have given a 48-hour ultimatum for the VC's resignation," said Hossain.

Actually its more the case of rival factions of the front organizations of the AL that are beating each other up that is the problem. The BNP and Jamaat have played a minimal role in the recent violence.
 
Damn!! everything is becoming nasty again...

This was expected. May be the intensity of the violence and its duration seems a little surprising but it will eventually subside.

I am more concerned about the witch hunting that will ensue once this stage of the initiation to power is over.

Spot on. JSD, Commie run security institutions (RAB, POLICE, ARMY) would again start hunting BNP/JI supporters under the guise of cleansing goons/Mastaans. It seems like entire BD needs to be invaded by divine force to free its people up from traitors of all sorts, thanks.
