33 opposition leaders Prime Minister’s office and hurling bomb into the secretariat. The leaders first went into hiding to avoid arrest but later entered into High Court premises to appeal for bail, they had to dodge the security cordon surrounding the high court, the story gave rise to funny stories. The heavy police presence was challenged by the Bar Council Association and the lawyers warned of starting agitation against the presence. The petition was moved but the judges were given divided opinion and the case was sent to the Chief Judge who refer the case to a third judge who ordered the accused to surrender to the lower court and asked the police not to arrest them in the meantime. The accused reported to the lower court with their lawyers and pleaded for the bail but the judge refused the appeal.
Many observers speculate that the sending of so many opposition leaders to the jail is an unexpected incident. This will increase the conflict between the two camps and deteriorate the political situation.

AMA Muhit, Finance Minister of Government of Bangladesh in a reaction said that the comment of Hillary on Grameen Bank is unwarranted. He told that Grameen Bank is a Government establishment and Government, not this government but a Bangladesh government founded this bank decades ago and he is one of the founders of bank. Government contributed to the growth of Grameen not the foreign powers.
He expressed that what Dr. Yunus is telling about Grameen is totally rubbish that Grameen Bank is at stake. He asked to see last one year under government and said that the bank ran smoothly during the period.

Hillary came to Bangladesh in a visit on 4th May,2012. She met in her 2 days’ visit with our Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Opposition Leader, Dr.Mohammad Yunus, BRAC Chairman Fazle Hussain Abed and young leaders and Citizens Group.
She touched many issues with the government including present political state in Bangladesh and urged for continuation of democratic exercise and establishment of political dialogue between the government and opposition.
She expressed her respect for Dr. Mohammad Yunus and she expressed her concern for government interference in Grameen Bank activities.
In a meeting with the representatives of the young generation, she exchanged views on different issues including immigration, young leadership, micro-credit etc.
But no definite agreement was signed during the visit. It is thought that USA has interest in the energy sector of Bangladesh and deep sea security in Bay of Bengal.

No classes in JU for last 4 months. Students and a section of teachers are in movement for removal of VC. The students are boycotting classes behind the banner of United Cultural Front. Cultural activists and distinguished citizens are coming to the campus to be informed of the situation and to express their support for agitating students. The students as their last resort started hunger strike unto death. Questions arise about the background, process of selection and integrity of the VC. As the situation is turning from bad to worse, PM asked the two factions to meet with her. It is not to forgrt that Jubayer, a student of English department was brutally killed by his opponents in Student League due to intra-party feud in JU.
Teachers of BUET are not attending classes for the last 1 month, again for removal of VC. Here the students are not yet involved and expressed their frustration over the situation.
In CU, the Shibir and Student League are in sporadic clashes since long. 2 students were also killed few weeks back in the conflict. The situation RU is also same.
In DU, the election for DUCSU is pending for the last 12 years. A writ petition is submitted in the High Court for holding the election.
Though, the Education Minister did some remarkable improvement in school and college level, but he could have little influence on the public university campuses.
Concern people opined that the best way to come out from this stagnation and irregularities would be to appoint VC on election basis. Then no one will challenge their competence and doubt their acceptability.

2 days hartal of opposition has ended today. Opposition has also staged 3 days hartal in last week on the issue of disappearance of Ilyas Ali. The hartal was observed in a loose way. The opposition leaders and activists were not much vigilant on the streets.Police were rather more alert and pro-government activists were active on the streets. But in sporadic attack opposition activists destroy or burnt vehicles and blast cocktails.
Cases were filed against most of the BNP central leaders. Their General Secretary Mirza Fakhrul Islam went into hiding and their Joint General secretary Ruhul Kabir Rizvi was arrested after coming out of party office declaring the next program. Barrister Moudud has tried to get permission of a special bench in off hour by convincing the Chief Justice to get the bail of party leaders but failed.
The government has taken hard line and the opposition is squeezed.
Common people wonder- will the calm prevail.

Disappearance of an opposition leader heats up politics in Bangladesh April 26, 2012
Posted by bdoza in BANGLADESH, POLITICS.Tags: AL, BNP, Hartal
1 comment so far
Ilyas Ali, an ex MP and a Central Organizing Secretary of BNP, the main opposition party has disappeared in the midnight a few days back.The sudden missing of a leader heats up the politics in Bangladesh. The opposition blames the government agencies for the disappearance. On the other hand, the PM accuses the opposition for creating the drama. The family appeals to the PM to return the man. The State Minister assures that they will find out by any means. The government agencies make their all out effort in searching him out. But so far no trace of Ilius could be made out.
BNP and its political partners took the opportunity to call hartal in protest of the disappearance. Government has tried to dispel the logic of the opposition. Its forces tried to push the opposition activists out of the roads. Opposition took the excuse of use of excess of forces by the government to extend the strike for more 2 days.
Opposition claims the hartal a success. Government expresses people didn’t support the hartal and it will take strong measures to prevent any disruption in public life. Law agencies said that hartal interrupts their search for the disappeared. Businessmen expressed their frustration over the hartal and asked the opposition to find the alternatives.
People and citizens are feeling uncertain over the progress of the situation.
Begum Khaleda Zia, Ex PM and Chairperson of BNP declared in a press conference that if Government fails to bring back Ilyas by 28th of this month, they will go into more tougher action.
Common people can’t predict when the conflict would end and how they will survive the period.

Surunjit Sengupta resigned -Fall of a Stalwart April 19, 2012

Surunjit Sengupta, the new appointed Railway Minister has resigned over an incident of carrying illegal money of 70 lacs to the minister’s house by his APS accompanied by a DGM and a security officer. Initially he tried to ignore the incident but as the facts were coming out, Suranjit preferred to quit the ministry taking the responsibility but at the same time claming his innocence in the matter.
People appreciated his move and thought that his resignation would create a glorious example in our political history as such resignation is an unseen phenomenon in our political horizon.
Suranjit Sengupta created an idealistic image for himself in his long political career. He was elected as an MP in every general election once he started contesting in his constituency for the post in the seventies. He started his politics in leftist front, then hanged over to secular political stream of AL.
Suranjit in his farewell conference with the press from the Ministry said that he was leaving the job for fair inquiry of the incident so that his position doesn’t interfere with the process of justice. He boldly expressed that he was quitting the job to uphold democracy and he was also leaving politics only to come back if proved innocent.
People was feeling sympathy for this great politician of the soil.
But only a day later he was reappointed as a Minister without a portfolio by the Prime Minister and Suranjit didn’t refused to join to uphold his old ideals.
At the same time it was disclosed that his son was given a telecommunication licence that required Tk. 5 crore as initial fee and will require more Tk.400 crore to start the full function of the company. ACC (Anti Corruption Commission) started inquiry into the source of money from where his son accumulated the wealth. The inquiry is still continuing.
Inquiry is also continuing for the primary event. News disclosed that the money were the excess from the bribes taken for the appointment for the employees in the railway department.
But nobody expect a fall of a stalwart like Suranjit Sengupta.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sk. Hasina proposes Dr. Yunus name for the the post of World president in a meeting with the envoy of EU. The proposal caught everybody off guard as nobody thought of Hasina would propose Dr. Yunus for the post.
So far Sk. Hasina kept no stone upturned to malign the image of Dr. Yunus in a serices of acts. The last action of her was removal of Dr. Yunus from the post of Chairman of Grameen Bank after 30 years of service to the bank that he had founded.
Dr. Yunus took the proposal as the change of heart of the Prime Minister.
But he refused to be president of the World Bank, rather he is more concern with the state of the Grameen Bank and wants to serve Grameen Bank longer period.
Will Prime Minister pay hid to the intention of Dr. Yunus ?

On 12th March opposition wanted to make a showdown of its political force in Dhaka. Government made all out efforts to make the show looks meager. Government thought that the opposition would use the gathering to make a law and order situation in the capital.
A good number of opposition activists from far and near able to gather in the New Paltan area of the capital designated for the gathering overcoming the obstacles. There was a possibility that the people might continue to sit in the capital to press their demand and to compel the government to resign. But ultimately nothing happened like that.
But an aura of ‘Arab Spring’ was felt by the supporters of the opposition, that may encourage them to repeat the adventure in the future.Government should remain alert.
Trial of War Crimes : New Resolution February 21, 2012

add a comment
Bangladesh Parliament in its present session adopted a new resolution on the private members day to try those who are obstructing the trial of War Crimes Tribunal. The resolution was actually passed by the passionate support of the treasury bench members against the intent of the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs. The state minister present in the session tried to convince the members that actions will be taken against those who are obstructing the procedure of the tribunal. But the members stressed that a new law is necessary for the purpose with an oblique reference to Khaleda Zia and other BNP leaders who are making adverse comment on the trial.
Minister of Law, who was not present in the session, later said that the resolution will strengthen the ongoing trial of the war crimes. Few days back Minister refuted the allegation raised in the western block that the war crime trail is not international and the accused were kept under arrest against the norms. He said that the war crime tribunal is working under local law and there is nothing to confuse.
The resolution also starts a new wave of discussion on whether the resolution should be enacted into law, whether such a law is necessary and whether the law would be contradictory to the constitution.
Opinion differs on the issues. Advocate Suranjit Sen Gupta, Chairman of the Law and Parliamentary Affairs said that a recommendation by the Parliament is mandatory for the Government to transform it into law.
Some say that a new law is not necessary as there are existing laws to deal with the matter and some say that preventing criticism would be contradictory to the fundamental rights of freedom of speech and thought of the constitution.
The resolution adds a new dimension to the issue of war crime trial in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh Economy under stress December 29, 2011
Posted by bdoza in BANGLADESH.Tags: Bangladesh economy
add a comment
For months, there was speculation that the economic state of Bangladesh is not going well. Many of the government machinery including the Prime Minister were denying the fact. Now it is the Finance Minister himself who disclosed the state of economy in discrete language in a conference in Dhaka.
Finance Minister said that the present GDP growth rate at 6.7 %. He expressed that he is not sure where will it end in the midst of this economic crisis and state of inflation. Finance Minister acknowledged that the investment in Bangladesh is very poor. For about a decade the investment rate is close to 24%. When a country dreams of getting a GDP growth rate at 7 or 8% , then this investment is not enough
FM was speaking at the 11th Annual Conference of South Asian Network for Economic Research Institute in Dhaka.
He also tried to explain the logic of borrowing money of the government from the bank blaming it on the inflation in thw international market, that is also increasing the inflation in the local market. He said that they thought to contain the budget deficit within 5% of GDP. But limiting the budget deficit becomes difficult for the government due to inflation.
There are two reasons of budget deficit for the government, one is increase in govt subsidy For delayed rise in fuel price and second one is non-utilization of foreign fund.
He defended the government expenditure in Bangladesh is not high saying that in Bangladesh the government expenditure was nevwr above 15%. He said that if the foreign investment and internal investment is increased then the government expenditure will also be increased.
In reply to the criticism in the media and by the economists of electricity production at high price, he said that he is not worried about the situation as because the increase in electricity production raised the investment to 41% last year.
Finance Minister acknowledged that the price of essentials was high troughout the year and it disheartened them.
He added that Bangladesh welfare oriented government has extended subsidy to agriculture, food distribution, electricity and fuel oil. He opined that they should have to be more attentive to oil price. But it couldn’t be done increase fuel price and inflation in the international market.
He also said that accurate poppulation census is important for preparing budget and in bangladesh there is difference in cencus, someone telling it 15 crore and other as 16 crore.
We assume that the straight acknowledgement of Finance Minister will prevent people from unnecessary speculation and make the government more pragmatic and solve the economic problem and prevent the political uncertainty.

add a comment
The term of present 3 election commissioners including the chief elction commissioner will be over in February,2012.This commissioners were appointed during the early months of the last Caretaker Government.
The present government has proposed a dialogue with the president and the political parties to choose the next election commissioners. The response of main oppostion party BNP is not yet specific. They welcome the dialougue but they didn’t commit straight whether they will participate in the dialogue. Some opposition members are also afraid that the dialogue may be a eye-wash and the ultimate selection will be dictated by the government and will be determined to serve the interest of the party in power.
BNP also emphasied that the priority of doalogue should be on the form of government rather than the name of the election commissioners.
Anwer Hussain Munju, a faction of JP said that the diagoue is a farce and is a drama and would be useless.
Pro-government paties are showing interets and will sit in the dialogue soon.
The present Chief Election Commissioner when asked about the initiative of the government said that it is good but may not be fruitful because of the difference of opinion among the political parties. He added that they proposed for a search committee for the purpose but the government didn’t pay heed to the proposal.
Transparency International Bangladesh also suggested a search committee to choose the election commissioners and the members of the search committee should include the present CEC and an ex-CEC.
We hope that Governement will take the measures to make the Election Commission neutral and effective.
People will lose confidence on Government if they are failed to do so.

Bangladesh: 61 District Administrators in 64 Districts December 22, 2011
Posted by bdoza in BANGLADESH, GOVERNANCE, POLITICS.add a comment
Government has appointed 61 distric adminstrators in 64 districs. 3 districts of hill tracts are excluded as elected chairmen are holding the post of chief executives in those districts.
The move follows after the government appointed administrators for Dhaka city corporation after dividing it into two.The district administrators are appointed from the district level leaders of the party.
BNP and opposition decried the move as contrary to the constitution. The local governmrnt experts also criticized the step taken by the government in this regard.
As the district councils are part of the local bodies, it was expected that due democratic processes would have been adopted for the district council. But the government didn’t go in that direction and prefer to consolidate their authority over the councils by appointing their own men.
But the thing that is to be ponder whether people will take the measures of the government easily or feel more alienated from the government as they are deprived of their right to choose their leaders at district level.
The appointment has a close similarily with the move of appointment of district govenors in 1974 when the same party was in the government.
Is the party going back to their old concept of governance? Will the people get a wrong signal from the move? Is the government afraid of going into public mandate for the posts?

Bangladesh as one of the worst affected countries by climate change had attended the conference with high hopes. The country was represented in the conference by a strong team headed by Dr. Hasan Mahmud, Minister for Environment and Forest.
All the countries agreed to follow a legally binding that will be prepared by 2015 , and will be effective in 2020 . A Green Climate Fund will also be created of 100 billion US$. The management framework is also drawn in the conference. The fund will distribute 100m US$ per year to the poor countries to adapt with the climate change, an initiative taken up in Copenhagen conference 2009.It was decided that Kyoto agreement will continue till 2017.
The conference 2011 was held in Durban, South Africa from 28th November to 11th December 2011. 154 countries attended the conference.
The sponsors considered the conference a success but the scientists and environtal groups disagree with them and opined that the deal is not enough to avoid global warming beyond 2 degree Celsius.
Bangladesh was frustrated over the outcome of the conference. This was expressed in a press conference by the Bangladesh team after coming back to the country.
It was also said that the summit was almost about to collapse that was rescued by last time attempt and some success was attained by the negotiations in the extended day.
Bangladesh is also not convinced with the transparency of the UN climate change fund.The minister said that the developed countries were supposed to give 30 billion dollar to the climate fund. So far only 3 billion is disbursed from this fund. Bangladesh got 300 m from the fund. Till now no money was deposited in the 100b Green Climate Fund. Though Kyoto protocol was extended upto 2017, the big emmitters are allowed to sign upto 2020, creating an uncertainty.
Greenpeace lamented the deal as the victory of pulluters over people.

Import of Indian Films and Bangladesh filmdom December 9, 2011
Posted by bdoza in BANGLADESH.1 comment so far
3 indian Bangla films are allowed to be displayed in Bangladesh by the censor board and 8 Indiam hindi films are under consideration to be displayed .
A debate developed between the film distribution association and association of film directors and artists. The distributors and hall owners are in favour of displaying the indian films, but the association of directors and artists are against it.
Those who are in faour are arguing that the cinema hall owners are loosing in their business for lack of and lack of audience. Those who are against the move are saying that the import will destroy the cinama industry in the country.
What the government could do? The government should rather patronise the producion of good movies in the country.
It is not that good movies are not producing in the country. Some production companies , specially to mention Channel I, are producing good movines on their own effort. Recently a production of channel I , Guerilla, a film based on liberation war was won the best film award in the international film festival held in Kolkata.
We acknoledge that the old Bangla films bear the standard of art in the industry but the new bangla films of India are not better than the local products , moreover they are polluted by the hindi cheap trends and there is no logic in showing hindi films in our cinema halls.
It is to be mentined that Indian viewers are deprived of seeing our television channels . The issue was discussed at different times and in the last film festival also. But with no effect. The reason is not understandtable by the ordinary citizen.

Arab spring,Islamist uprising and US policy December 9, 2011
Posted by bdoza in People.Tags: Arab spring, Islamist uprising, US poli
add a comment
Throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa protest against the authotarian rulers started months ago. The protests already led to toppling of the regimes in some of the states that includes Tunesia, Egypt and Libya. In some other states state authorities are reconsidering their power structure and making provision to accomodate more democratic representtation. Morocco and Jordan fall in this category. In some countries people are still strugling like Syria and Yemen and in Bahrain the uprising is vitually suppressed by brutality.
But in countries where election is taking place, Islamists are gaining substantial ground. In Tunesia, an Islamic party won the majority and formed the government. In Morocco also an Islamist party surpasses the the others in the election race and is forming the government. In Egypt, the county that is watched by the world closely , the Muslim Brotherhood has gained majority vote in the first phase.
Why the Islamists are getting the benefit of this Arab spring. It is away from the secular trends that is waving throughout the world.
Is it because of past US policy in the region that maintained a close relation with these autocratic regim of the arab world for decades and helped to sustain the autocratic regime against the will of the people ? Though US was vocal for democracy in other parts of the world but they didn’t advocate it for the Arab World. Is it because the members of islamic parties were persecuted for years that arouse the sympathy of the people towards them and people expressed their sympathy to the oppressed through this mandate? Though the present movement in different countries directly or indirectly has US support , that proves not enough to overcome the attitude that is developed over the years.
But it is likely that the Islamist uprising will interfere with the us dominance in the region and will make Israel more isolated.

Dhaka Divide : Question of Referendum December 6, 2011

add a comment
Syed Ashraful Islam, Acting General Secretary of AL challanges BNP to assess their popularity/ to justify their demand not to divide Dhaka by contesting in the coming city corporations elections of Dhaka.
Government is willing to hold the Dhaka city corporations election within next three months. But Election Commision officials said that it will not poosible on their part to hold the city corporation elections in that time period. Moreover, the tenure of the present officials will be ended by February, 2012 . They could at best declare the schedule and the next EC may hold the election. But they now are preferring the Next Election Commission to take the responsibility. The election become more uncertain at this transitional period as the acceptability of next election commission is yet uncertain . The name and the nature of selection is yet not declared by the government.
To the challange of Syed Ashraf, Mr.Fakhrul Islam, Acting General Secretary of BNP demands ‘Referendum’ on the issue of Dhaka divide. But there is no provision of referendum in Bangladesh Constitution. It would have better if the provision would be there as in that case the people could express their opinion in critical national issues.
The ordinary citizen is a little confused why people’s choice is not there for national issues in our constitution. Is it that it was not there in our first constitution and was not thought of by the authors of the first constitution and the Father of the nation? Or is it that the provision was cancelled in a later amendment?
Many of the countries have utilized this provision in their national crisis. Very recently Greece has taken referendum on the issue on remaining in the Eurozone and they are trying to overcome their economic crisis in a collective way.
Bangladesh is facing two important national issues where referendum could be a way out to end the political stalemate, one is Dhaka Divide and the other is Caretaker Government.
Now a time has come, when people don’t like to left aside from the national issues and they want to actively participate in forming the decisions that are extremely important in shaping the future of their lives and of their country.
AL with their absolute majority in the parliament is making many amendments to their benefit, but can’t they amend the constitution to make provision of referendum to ensure people’s participation in national issues other than the general election. People would remember them for ever.
