‘Khaleda is now Jamaat chief’

pmo-ed

“Khaleda Zia is no longer the chief of BNP but the Amir of Jamaat,” she said.

“Jamaat was banned for terrorist activities even in Pakistan. They don’t believe in Islam but uses it for their political gain,” Prime Minister told the people of Jessore’s Malopara on Thursday afternoon.

Malopara, a settlement of Hindu fishermen in Abhoynagar’s Chapatola village, suffered brutal attacks and arsons after the national election on Jan 5.

The Awami League chief also said that people were attacked for casting vote.

The Prime Minister claimed BNP chief Khaleda Zia and Jamaat were united in their conspiracies against the country.

“She called strikes, blockades and ordered attacks on polling centres to stop the election,” Hasina told the rally.

“She ordered that polling officers be burnt to death. The cadres of Jamaat have damaged 103 homes in Malopara. They gang raped two women at Rishipolli.”

The government would take tough measures to protect communal harmony, she assured.

Addressing the rally she said, “We will have to work side by side to make sure people of all faiths have equal rights. The government will not tolerate anyone who tries to violate that.”

The Prime Minister warned perpetrators of communal violence, saying the government “will be as tough as necessary but will not allow terror.”

“No form of militancy and terrorism will be tolerated. We will be as tough as necessary.”

She said Khaleda Zia ‘lied’ when she claimed people did not go to vote on Jan 5.

“She has become so used to lying that she even changed the date of her husband’s birth. She even mixed up the date of the election in her speech,” said Hasina about her arch rival.

“She will most definitely ask you to shut up if you try to point out her mistakes.”

The Prime Minister said 40 percent turnout at the 10th national elections disproved the BNP chairperson’s claim that she is “the leader of 95 percent of Bangladesh’s people”.

She ridiculed the BNP chief for sitting out and missing the ‘election-train’, saying, “Golapi, oh Golapi! You have missed the train.”

The Prime Minister hit back at the BNP chief for her angry rant before the media about the horrific fate that would befall on Gopalganj, Hasina’s ancestral home.

“Why are you so mad at Gopalganj? Is it because the father of the nation was born there? Did you not want your country to be free?” The Prime Minister said attacking the BNP chief.

“Or do you still dream of your beloved Pakistan. Are you so angry because you can’t yet forget Pakistani rulers?”

  1. If Hasina thinks she won by landslide with people’s mandate, why does she keeps attacking Khaleda? She should be working hard for Bangladesh and forget Khaleda. This types of teasing in public only makes her look mean and stupid. She forgets, she was herself aligned to Jamaat in the past. If Jamaat is harmful to the nation, why does not her handpicked parliament make a law and ban and banish it forever? This woman is vindictive and utterly a nuisance.

  2. GROSS VIOLATION OF BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS IN BANGLADESHI PRISONS
    WHAT’S HAPPENING INSIDE HASINA’S DUNGEONS?
    Field report: Khondoker Rafqul Islam, & Abdul Halim Patwary reporting from Dhaka after visiting 7 jails in various part of the country. Dkaka:24.01.2013
    WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENING INSIDE VINDICTIVE HASINA’S DUNGEON WHERE THE INMATES NUMBER IS OVER SIX TIMES THEIR CAPACITY: SMELL OF TOILET EVERY WHERE. TO GET FOOD SUPPLIED FROM HOME INMATES HAVE TO PAY REGULARLY. THIS LUCRATIVE TRADE IS ALMOST A NORM THAT NOBODY QUESTION FEARING PUNISHMENT & IT IS KNOWN TO MOST PEOPLE. PRISON’S OWN FOOD IS MOSTLY NOT EATABLE. MOST OF THE DUNGEONS ARE NOT AT ALL SUITABLE FOR HUMAN HABITATION, EVEN FOR ANIMAL SAID ONE INMATE. WHAT WONDER, NEARLY 121,000 people are in hiding. About the number of the prisoner whose number & list lengthening every day Un-named police officer told Al-Hilal, “I CANNOT TELL YOU EXACT NUMBER BUT I RECKON AROUND 250,000 and more “WANTED” peoples names are being added to the list almost in daily basis.? YOU CAN SEE VILLAGE AFTER VILLAGE IS EMPTY OF ANY ADULT MALE; THEY ALL HAVE GONE TO HIDING”. When asked who prepared the list of “WANTED” SUSPECTS WHO ARE TO BE ARRESTS?” Is it the top brasses of police or the Detective Branch? Police officer replied, “NEITHER, THE LIST COMES FROM HOME OFFICE, SOMETIMES SUPPLEMENTARY LIST COMES FROM LAW MINISTRY AND IN FEW OCCASION WE HAD LIST COMING FROM THE PRIME MINISTERS OFFICE”. But you cannot tell me the number of the inmates you holding? “NO, I DOUBT IF ANYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL YOU THE REAL NUMBER. NOBODY KNOWS”

    Ayub Ali Ansary adds from Chittagong, “HIGHLY POLITICIZED AND THOROUGHLY CORRUPT POLICE, and MOSTLY RECRUITED FROM HER OWN HOME VILLAGE ARE LET LOOSE ON HER ISLAMIC OPPONENTS. ANY PERSON WEARING A CAP, BEARD AND LONG ISLAMIC DRESS IS AN “ISLAMIC TERRORIST” AND AS SUCH AN ANTI STATE ELEMENT. “HE SHOULD BE FIRED UPON FIRST BEFORE HE KILLS YOU” IS THE STANDING INSTRUCTION STILL IN USE! (ISSUED BY THE EX HOME MINISTER). IT MEANS, ASK NO QUESTION JUST SHOOT ON SIGHT. THIS IS AN UNPRECEDENTED MISUSE OF STATE-POWER AND STATE MACHINERIES & INSTITUTIONS, PARTICULARLY THE JUDICIARY, POLICE & EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.THESE ARE BEING USED AS POLITICAL TOOLS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF HOLDING ON TO POWER naming, branding and bracketing all the political opponents, critics as “SEDITIOUS”. Even the foreign critics of these kind of abuse of power, mass arrrest, abduction, closing the office of the opposition, putting almost all the top opposition politicians in jail, abusing and insulting them and killing people indiscriminately are being accused of “ INTERFERING IN BANGLADESH’S INTERNAL MATTER”!
    This is the exact state of affairs now prevailing in Bangladesh under arrogant, Hasina’s illegal rule that has no legitimacy. Home office knows not how many inmates are in jail. Country’s colonial British built 68 jails supposed to accommodate 72,000 prisoners are holding inmates 5-6 times their capacity. Most of the jails are smelly. Smell of human waste is overwhelming and suffocating in some areas. One officer on condition of anonymity told Al-Hilal, “SIR, WE ARE DOING OUR BEST TO KEEP THE TOILETS CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THE HYGIENIC STANDARD AS BEST AS WE CAN WE THE MEAGRE RESOURCES WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH. YOU HAVE SEEN ONE WING OF MY JAIL BUT IF YOU SEE THE OTHER SIDE OPPOSITE AND NOT EXPOSED YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO BREATH BECAUSE THE SMELL IS SO INTENSE”. When asked if he thought it was a health hazard. His reply was “OBVIOUSLY, BUT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SHOW ITS ADVERSE EFFECT LATER ON, LONG AFTER THEIR RELEASE AND NOT INSTANTLY”. I will tell you sir, never mind human beings, even a civilised country would not allow its animals to live in such condition. I am not a politician but I can tell you that I am long enough in this jail but during this time not even a window has been changed, no new toilet fixed due of “SHORTAGE OF FUND” we are told…. My predecessor told me like all other state institutions jail too is the victim of TENDER SNATCHING Business. Most probably some money was sanctioned to carry out the repair, reconstruction, expansion but work was not carried out and the money was pocketed. It has been the norm during the last 5 years of this TENDER-SNATCHING GOVERNMENT. Tender snatching, tender looting is the norm and the culprits are the ruling party’s student & Youth cadres. They are so powerful nobody could control those Frankenstein Monsters. Hasina is just scared and thus unable stop them and she has been watching helplessly as they WERE shooting each other while fighting to grab the tenders. They would not hesitate for a moment to shoot her if she wants to stop their parallel government from functioning. This is the reality behind the facade of her “ECONOMIC PROGRESS”!!

  3. By responding to Khaleda’s call of election boycott not more than 10% turned out tto cast vote on January 5. This means that Khaleda now commands support of 90% people of Bangladesh and thus she is the leader of all of Bangladesh, Jamat included plus many freedom-loving Awami Leaguers.
