(March 13, 2013, Dhaka, Sri Lanka Guardian) Broken Goddess picture is published every day in the progressive
newspaper in Bangladesh now. From 28 February, attack on the temple is an
everyday feature now in Bangladesh. Not only the sculpture of the Goddess are
broken by the Jammat- Shibir , the terrorist and the war criminal party of
Bangladesh but also arson, looting and killing are continuing on the Hindu community.
In Bangladesh, this terrorist and war criminal party members have
attacked at least in twenty-two districts on the minority community. They are
not only attacking on the minority community but also setting fire to many
government office even the electricity plant. They have set fire to rail, bus,
bank, business organization and the house of the government officer. They are
continuously attacking on many innocent intellectual people also. They have
killed more than three intellectuals. They have declared a kind of war against
Bangladesh. But it has to mention here that, they never recognized Bangladesh.
They fought against Bangladesh in 1971 with the collaboration of Pakistan army.
Then they killed millions of people and raped thousands of girls besides they
helped for killing and raping to Pakistan army. Jammat –E- Islami men also
looted and arson in 1971.
After the liberation of Bangladesh, the government of Bangladesh
did ban their politics through the constitution and more than 50 thousand of
their workers who were accused on war criminal were arrested. At last, 11
thousand of them were on trial. The military ruler freed them all after the
counter-revolution in 15 August 1975. In addition, very soon the military
government gave them political right in Bangladesh. From then they are enjoying
political rights. Though they are enjoying democratic political rights, they
are participating in the parliament election but they never do democratic
political activates.
After getting the political rights in Bangladesh, they have
enjoyed the government help for their terrorist activities for a long time. In
that time, they have setup huge number of business institute including
financial institute like Islamic Bank of Bangladesh. On the other hand, they
have established a number of terrorist groups including their student
organization. In this work, they are getting huge money from the Islamic
countries of Middle East in the name of Islam; besides Pakistani military
intelligence (ISI) also helps them to give money and training. So now, they are
well funded and well trained terrorist organization not only in Bangladesh but
also in the world.
However, these Jammate-E- Islamic main leaders are now facing
trial-accusing war crime in tribunal; that tribunal is called international war
crime tribunal (ICT). By this time, ICT has given verdict three of them. Two of
them have awarded sentence to death and one has lifetime Jail.
The war criminal who has given lifetime jail by the tribunal his
name is kader Mollaha. In 1971, he was known as a butcher Kader. He did rape,
killing and looting. He is the murderer of many intellectuals including a
famous women poet of the then time. ICT has proved that he committed more than
355 murders. One killing is enough to get the capital punishment but the
butcher Kader has given lifetime by the court. After declared this verdict,
Kader shown victory symbol to the press. To see this picture the scenario of
Bangladesh turned in to a face of volcano. Because, the butcher Kader strocked
on the pride of the nation.
Young generation of Bangladesh cannot take it rather their out
blast was historical which never happened in Bangladesh. Some young online
activist gave an apple to the people to come on a road in Dhaka named shabag,
which is nearby Dhaka University. But by the evening a huge crowd made there.
From then it is continuing. For the first time this type of uprising is
happened in Bangladesh. It is very non-partisan. They only uphold the spirit of
freedom struggle of Bangladesh and they want to respect to the 3 million
martyrs and a half million women who were raped by the Pakistani army and the
Jammat people in 1971.
Within three days, this uprising became a human sea. From this
human sea, they demanded that they want capital punishment for the butcher
Kader and all the war criminal that are now facing trial. Besides, they want
that, government have to ban Jammat-E-Islamic Bangladesh, as a war criminal
party they cannot enjoy political right in Bangladesh. People of Bangladesh
have supported their demand because all over the world the war criminal party
cannot enjoy the political right. In the mean time a group of Shibir( student
wing of Jammat) men killed one of the online activists who was an architect. To
share condolence to the family members Prime Minister of Bangladesh went his
home, at that time she told to the journalist that Jammat has no right to do
politics in Bangladesh.
The online activist Rajib Hyder Shovo was a blogger. Most of the
time he would write to uphold the principle or sprit and the history of freedom
struggle of Bangladesh that has been destroyed by the military ruler of
Bangladesh. But, one of the editors of a newspaper in Bangladesh named Amardesh
who was awarded as a chance editor by the Supreme Court, Mr. Mahamudur Rahaman
published a baseless story that, Rajib wrote story against the great Prophet of
Islam. His newspaper never maintains any ethics. With his newspaper, he is
trying to establish that, this uprising is against religion. This` religion
game’ is an old weapon in Bangladesh. When the people of Bangladesh start any
progressive movement like the historical language movement, Freedom struggle in
Bangladesh then the reactionary group uses that weapon. However, the people of
Bangladesh never accept it. In spite of that, they succeed to do many unethical
works in the name of religion; like looting, killing and raping. This time they
also are doing this.
However, on 28 February the ICT gave the verdict of an war
criminal. His name was Delwar hossien Syedee. In 1971, he was known as Della
Razakar. ICT gave him sentence to death. Court has found that, in 1971, he
committed murder, raping ,arson and looting. After giving his verdict, the
people of Bangladesh and the youth up risers started to celebrate. Nevertheless,
the Jammat and Shibir people started to arson government office in different
place. With the modern and homemade weapons, they killed police officer, arson
government office, business house and they attacked on minority Hindu, Buddhist
people, and their temples in twenty-two district of Bangladesh. They have
killed more than six Hindu people including temple Guru and two years baby.
The law enforcing men of Bangladesh took measures. For taking
measure, a number of causalities were happened. Because, they have started war
against the state. However, the people of Bangladesh basically the youth are
trying to stop it through the non violent movement; and the terrorist going to
isolated from the society but after three days of this terrorism, the main
opposition supported the terrorist activates of the Jammat- Shibir. After that,
they are calling shutdown one after another, killing the innocent people, and
attacking on the minorities. The renowned human right activist of Bangladesh,
Shariar Kabir has visited many places, where they attacked the minorities. He
said in a press conference that, main opposition party, Bangladesh nationalist
party (BNP) men are involved on the attack of minorities.
It is a big setback for Bangladesh politics that BNP has supported
the terrorist group of Bangladesh. Therefore, government of Bangladesh has to
face now more terrorism and now the more than one-core minorities of Bangladesh
are in danger. Despite, it is true ultimately, the progressive force of
Bangladesh will win, but it is very much needed that, world progressive forces
have to support them. World human right workers and all kind of progressive
force have to be concerned regarding the security of the minorities of
Bangladesh.
