@ I had always been advocating that the people of this region had always a feeling of anti-India since the partition of Bengal in 1905. Since then they had been finding a way out and when Muslim Leaque was founded the people of this area joint in it. Once the "Two Nation Theory" was made and propagated by Jinnah, it was at once taken away by the people and finally about 97% muslims of this area voted for a united Pakistan in 1946. But these sunny days of united Pakistan was short lived. The migrated Hindus and local left oriented people started making conspiracy how to break United Pakistan. The Indian Media was so strong that Pakistan failed to cope up with these conspiracies. The day Pakistan was created the conspircy started at Calcutta. Soon the migrated Hindus joined with them.
@ In 1948, Muslim Awami Leaque was created but once the East Pakistan Congress merged with Awami Leaque it dropped the name "Muslim" and it became Awami Leaque a pure seculer political party. In 1954 a general election election was held in East Pakistan where Muslim Leaque was rooted out and "Jokto Front" came to power under the leadership of AK Fuzlul Huq, Bashani and Surwardy. But again this Provintial Govt did not last long, hardly for 03/04 months. Soon this govt was dissolved. People always blame this to the Central Govt. But if we critically analysis then we will find it was Sk Mujib who was mainly responsible for this disaster. Firstly, once A K Fuzlul Huq was selected as Chief Minister of East Bengal Province, it was not liked by Mujib (AL) so under his leadership AL bocotted the oath ceremony of Ministers. Secondly, since Sk Mujib initially was not not included in the ministry so, AL under the leadership of Mujib did not joined the ministry. Fazlul Huq had to run the whole minitry for only 2 miniters for about a month. Actually, Mujib and his assocites were not happy with the A K Fuzlul Huq Govt though later on he was made as Labour Minister. Probably, in the centre by this time Hossain Shaheed Surwardy was picked up as a Law Minister,so Mujib had also hand at the centre. Moreso, at that times probably the 3rd Constituent Assembly was being dominated by the Awami Leaque as they sweeped in the election of 1954. Thirdly , once Fuzlul Huq went to Calcutta as Chief of East Bengal he gave some free speech which was against the interest of united Pakistan. So, Mujib got the point soon he started a Bengali-Behari riot at Narranganj where 1000 people died. Under these situation the Mistry under the leadership of Fuzlul Huq was dismissed and Governor rule was imposed. Fourthly, the old people says that once the East Bengal Parliament session was going gone and there was lot of agument and counter argument, and in one stage there was a manhandling inside the parliament. Inthis critical situation Sk Mujib threw paper weight which hit the head of speaker Shahed Ali and who died later in the hospital.
@ Awami Leaque as a political party was never a popular. In 1965, once Munem Khan, the Governor of East Pakistan called all the political leaders in his office to review the situation on the eve of Indo-Pak conflict, Mujib openly proposed to revolt againt Central Govt.
@ In the general election of 1970, the election was not at all free and fair. It was something like intimidation in everywhere. Muslim Leaque was divided into three fraction namely, Convention Muslim Leaque, Counsil Muslim Leaque and Qaumi Muslim Leaque. Khan a Sabur belongs to Qaumi Muslim Leaque, Shah Aziz belongs to Counsil Muslim Leaque and Fazlul Kader Chow belongs to Convention Muslim Leaque. Besides other Islamic parties like Nizam-i-Islami, Pakistan Democratic Party (PDP)were also divided. Jamat-e-Islami was also alone but firm and had a dedicated workers. National Awami Party of Bashani boycotted the election . So, who remains against mighty Awami Leaque. All the young lots were lenned towards left oriented parties. So, Awami Leaque got the free field, ofcourse well guarded by the awami militant. O, I see the military govt of Yahya Khan, he also did not wanted that any fraction of Muslim Leaque to come to power as he himself staged a silent military coup.
@ The election of 1973 was not at all a election where all the muslim/Islamic oriented political parties were totally banned. The election of 1996 where AwamiLeaque got a simple majority due to dis-unity between the BNP, Jatia Party, Jamamt-e-Islami and other Islami parties. But still in some selected areas Awami Leaque carried out a silent vote rigging with the help of "Janatar Munchu".
@ About the last election of 2008, it was a digital vote rigging by the Army itself only just to save their skin.
@ The people of this region are always anti-India and hence anti-Awami Leaque. Definitely people have reaso for it. Finally, I will say that blood matters a lot. Here in Bangladesh most of the muslim people are foreign migrated muslim from Afgan, Persia, Turkey, Arabia, Yeman, Central Asia, Abissinia etc and they are out and out anti-India. We the Bengalees of Bangladesh are heto-genious nation as opposed to homogeneous, this what I believe. That is why there is hardly any compromise between the two political parties and this will continue. It is just a like a railway line which never meets ===============??????????
