Let’s give Barrister Sara Hossain another like…

Opinion

Barrister Sara Hossain is sweet-spoken. She speaks in a well-organized manner. After August 5, when a Huzoor repeatedly tried to interrupt her at an event, she calmly said, “I’ll finish in a moment.” The red women immediately became her big fans. They don’t like Sheikh Hasina. They don’t see her long struggle, her half-century politics. She is said to be the product of dynastic rule. Yet Sara Hossain, who is a hugely privileged member of a privileged family, is their ideal.

Sara Hossain is again getting applause for her speech on the Consensus Commission. Questioning the formation of the National Consensus Commission and its working methods, she said that this process of making decisions by sitting with a few people cannot be called a ‘democratic process’ in any way, it is a ‘selective process’. She criticized the lack of female members.

Now, after so many months, if we say anything against the child killer named Muhammad Yunus, we are left speechless. Sara Hossain’s talk about the kidnapper called the Consensus Commission has left us reeling from her initial fame. No one has even asked her, where were you for eighteen months?

We are also forgetting that these Sara Hussains were the intellectual part of August 5. They provided intellectual support to these movements. They provided soft-spoken support. This group is always enthusiastic about Yunus. Even if they criticize him a little bitterly, they are followers of Yunus. See the proof of that.

Recently, another associate of Yunus, Prothom Alo, reported on arrests for criticizing the government. In it, Sara Hossain said that during the interim government, there was relatively little legal action despite criticism online and offline. However, after the elections, there are incidents where arrests are being made for statements or expressions of opinion—even where there is no direct allegation of harm or threat.

Sara Hossain called on the government to take a clear stand against such activities and to hold those involved in such incidents accountable.

What he means is that there was relatively good freedom of speech during the time of Muhammad Yunus.

How big a lie this is, she knows. Sara Hossain knows that there are many red people who did not get bail just for saying ‘Joy Bangla’. She should not be unaware that for the crime of being Awami League, the bodies of those who were not able to criticize have been floating in the river, their educational life has ended; the jails are filled with those prisoners. Sara Hossain should not be unaware that not only the law has been passed to suppress dissent, but also why the mob has been given the name of pressure group and torture has been legalized.

These things are not visible to Sara Hossain. She casually says that during the interim government, there were not many arrests or legal persecutions for speaking out.

How cleverly he made Muhammad Yunus the savior of freedom of speech with this small sentence in a big, seemingly innocent statement. And the very next day, he covered up Yunus’s far-reaching plan by dismissing the Consensus Commission.

Yunus actually has a huge fortune. Even after killing so many children, he will not be hanged. He will travel around the country and abroad selling three zeros. And people like Sara Hossain will make them great.

Let’s go. Let’s give Sara Hossain another like.
