Opinion
To be honest, I don’t even want to think about this situation!
For the past three days, the ‘July Charter’ consensus commission, fraud, note of dissent, signing, etc., have been the talk of the country. The parties that signed the charter and the parties that did not sign are heating up the microphones by blaming each other. A wide range of political analysis is emerging from the public about this. Some are saying – ‘This is being done to rig the elections’. Some are saying – ‘The three parties are showing off their stinginess’. Some are saying – ‘Everyone will sign on time and the elections will be held in February’.
What no one is discussing here, or even thinking about, is what will happen to the current interim government and their children and grandchildren after the election. Will they be held accountable for all the injustices, illegal activities, imprisonment, torture, murder, injury, money laundering, economic destruction, abuse of power, excessive nepotism, revenge, immoral privileges, Pakistanization of Bangladesh during the Liberation War, and nurturing militants that have brought the country to the brink of destruction in the past one and a half years? Will they get indemnity? Or will they get a safe exit without anything?
There is no reason to think that Yunus Sahib, without being assured of indemnity and safe exit, will get elected and put you in power, give an emotional speech at the South Plaza, return home with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and his relatives will also return to their respective professions and live happily ever after! There is another person among them whose name is being hinted at, what will happen to him?
Over the past three days, many have almost considered BNP leader Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir to be the ‘soul agent of the anti-Yunus-Jamaat liberation war’! Because he said—”Regarding Jamaat, he said- they are forming an alliance and are protesting in the streets and threatening, ‘It has to be today, otherwise we will not allow the election to be held’; don’t think people are fools. “
Referring to Jamaat-e-Islami, he said, “There is a force trying – those who opposed independence in Bangladesh in 1971, they now want to downgrade 1971, they only want to show off the movement of July 24th. Some forces, some people want to bring division here in a very planned manner.”
Mirza Fakhrul said, “I want to make it clear that if you are unhappy with it, I have nothing to do with it. That day, you called the liberation war a mess… you tried to characterize it as a coup by some miscreants. And you killed the people of this country by joining hands with those who were killing us and you killed many of our wise men that day and threw them in the slaughterhouse, we have not forgotten it.”
His statement was further reinforced by another leader of his party, Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal. He demanded that Jamaat-e-Islami be banned for the same reason that Awami League was banned for its role in 2024, for its role in 1971.
Listening to all this talk, doesn’t it seem like this group is truly proud of the Liberation War?
The moment you started boasting, you saw Mirza Fakhrul saying, “Today, Hasina is sitting in India giving interviews to various media. She has not expressed remorse even once. The journalists asked her if she will apologize for her actions. She said, ‘No, we will not apologize. That woman, that person is spreading propaganda today sitting in India.”
“We want to tell the Indian government very clearly that Sheikh Hasina is in India, return her to Bangladesh and make arrangements for her to face the trial she is facing under the laws of Bangladesh. Don’t always oppose Bangladesh. Don’t oppose the people, the people of Bangladesh will not accept that.”
Commenting on the July Charter being cheated, Fakhrul said, “Do you remember the charter we passed while holding an umbrella in the rain in front of the parliament, signing it? The issues we signed there, it was said that all the political parties agreed on, all of them were signed. This is unfair, this is an unquestionable act of cheating the people.”
Mahmudur Rahman Manna echoed this. He said, “The country is in a huge crisis, the government does not have the power to rescue it.” He also believes that BNP must now play a role in rescuing it from this crisis.
He called the issue of including issues that were not discussed in the lengthy discussions, without mentioning the consensus reached with dissent or note of dissent, as foolishness, stupidity, and stupidity.
There is no reason to think that after listening to the sugar-coated speeches of Mirza Fakhrul, Mahmudur Rahman Manna, Moazzem Hossain Alal, Major (retd) Hafiz, Zahir Uddin Swapan, Mirza Abbas and others, they will take to the field and make a revolution against the interim. After two days, we will see that they, Jamaat, NCP, Gono Parishad, Gono Forum, Biplobi Workers Party, Gana Sanghati, Rashtra Sanskar, Bangladesh JSD, Rab JSD, Ishaa, Hefazat along with Talebar Ghaus-Qutub, Alem-Ulamaekeraam are all playing the sarinda in one tune.
This time, to ensure that the tone of this sarinda does not fade, 53 prominent (!) citizens have fabricated a statement! Just remember the names because many of them are on your list and occasionally disguise themselves as public figures by speaking out against the government.
Those who agreed with the statement are – Kajal Shahnewaz, Zahed Ur Rahman, R Razi, Golam Sarwar, Amirul Islam, Mostafa Nazmul Mansur Tamal, Aminul Islam, Abul Fazal, Mostafa Kamal Palash, Rakhal Raha, GH Habib, Nahid Hasan Knowledge, Abul Kalam Al Azad, Ahmed Swapan Mahmud, Saema Khatun, Gazi Tanzia, Rezaur Rahman Lenin, Salah Uddin Shuvro, Saeed Bari, Mahabubur Rahman, Mridul Mahbub, Amal Akash, Chinu Kabir, Jamal Bhaskar, Ariful Islam Sabbir, Advocate Mominur Rahman, Imamul Baker Apollo, Ani Atiqur Rahman, Poliar Wahid, Russell Raihan, Sanaullah Sagar, Enamul Haque Palash, Shakila Khatun, Abdul Majid Antar, Tanvir Ahmed, Shoaib Mahmud, Meshkat Chowdhury, Harun-or-Rashid, Taslima Shahnur, Masum Munwar, Arif Rahman, Jabbar Al Naeem, Rafsan Ahmed, Ashraful Islam, Sajjad Biplob, Pintu Rahman, Rakib Likhon, Shahnewaz Arefin, Shadman Shahid, Afsana Zakia, Shamim Reza, Fuad Saki.
Now let’s draw a conclusion:
The July Charter means the ‘alternative constitution’. By passing it and holding a referendum, a system will be established where even the elected government will not be able to question, challenge, sue, punish, or hold accountable any of the interim’s actions. If that system is not taken, sooner or later, the referendum will be held, the validity or invalidity of the charter, constituencies, seat distribution, alliance formation, security, internal law and order situation, the military-court scandal, the dissatisfaction within the army, the complications over guarding polling stations, and the attack by an unnamed external enemy country will create such a mess that no one will even be able to think about elections.
Then, a ‘government of national unity’ will be declared through the interim. Its head will be Muhammad Yunus himself. The Supreme Court will be forced to validate that government because it will take the mandate of a larger number of parties.
Amidst this, the Awami League’s procession is growing, “Notice to Air Missions” or NOTAM is declared from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal around India, heavy weapons are deployed in the area adjacent to Chicken Neck, ‘sleeper cell’ entry of militants in the India-Bangladesh border areas, America’s ‘leaving the Bangladesh issue to India’ under the India-US 10-year military agreement, and pressure from Western countries including America for ‘inclusive elections’ continues. If the verdict in Sheikh Hasina’s case is announced on November 13, a different situation may occur if any of the Western superpowers gives Yunus an ultimatum. Otherwise, the current misrule of Yunus and Gang will be prolonged and the country will very quickly follow the footsteps of the failed state Pakistan and famine will definitely occur.
What will happen then is beyond my imagination. To be honest, I don’t even want to think about it.
