AskDesh/দেশ কে জিজ্ঞাসা BNP and Jamaat are not the answer

403 Upvotes

The way things are going, it looks like a lot of parliament members might end up being elected from the BNP Jamaat in the upcoming election. If that happens, we could be in serious trouble. Historically, these parties have been involved in activities that undermine democratic values and stability in Bangladesh.

Jamaat-e-Islami has a controversial past. They opposed the creation of Bangladesh in 1971 and were involved in war crimes during the Liberation War. Despite this, they were allowed back into politics because of political shifts and alliances, particularly with the BNP.

From 2001 to 2006, during the BNP-Jamaat coalition government, there were widespread reports of corruption, nepotism, and administrative chaos. They were accused of manipulating the law, violently repressing opposition, and running a mafia-like operation centered around Hawa Bhaban, led by Tarique Rahman. This period also saw increased violence and significant human rights violations.

It’s really important to stop these parties from gaining power again. They have a history of exploiting power for their own self-inclined goals. We need a broad-based boycott and more public awareness about their past and current activities to protect our nation’s democratic and social fabric, just like we did with the BAL.

I mean, do we really want to see Tarique Rahman or Mamunul Haque in power? As a practicing Muslim, I believe in upholding the values of justice and integrity, which these exploitative predisposed extremists clearly violate.

Saw this picture posted on Pakistani subreddit. Anyone else find this picture wrong?

Apparently this is a picture from Dhaka. I am all for the revolution happened in July. We finally got rid of a dictatorship. But really? was this drawing really necessary? If you respect 1000+ people killed by BAL, you should also respect 3 million killed by Pak.

Yes the Pakistani reddit is talking nicely about it. Why wouldn’t they? They have their flag drawn in their former territory.

However I do think it’s a bit too much. As far as I know Pakistan government never even apologized formally (I could be wrong though). Even if they did, we are supposed to forget everything and act like they are our brothers? Currently, There are lot of nice Pakistanis who feel bad about it but there are also some who are racist towards bengalis. They also think it’s our fault for wanting separation and we are some sort low class ‘hindu’ (not tryna offend hindus here) who didn’t want to stay with their muslim brothers (😹). Many Pakistanis don’t even recognize the genocide. Check any instagram comment section about the 1971 war.

It is also saddening to see some bengalis support Pakistan cricket team even when they play against Bangladesh. I do believe there are still people in 🇧🇩 who would want to reunite with 🇵🇰 for ‘Islam’s sake’. May our country never be ruled by these people.

Support to 🇵🇸 100% but what is even the point of putting 🇵🇰 here? Will the 🇵🇸 people forgive 🇮🇱 in 50 years?

Note: To any BAL supporter, you don’t have to comment anything bad about the revolution, ‘agei valoi chilam’, desh jongi hoye jabe, pakistan hoye jabe etc. You know very well what your party did!

ভারতের হিন্দুরা মুসলমানের কাছে গরুর মাংস পাইলে পিটায় মেরে ফেলে। মুসলমানরাও কেউ নবিকে গালি দিলে/সমালচনা করলে তাকে পিটায় মেরে ফেলা সঠিক মনে করে। যারা ইসলামিস্ট আছেন, আপনাদের কি দুইটা জিনিস একই মনে হয় না? নাকি আপনাদেরটা ঠিক ওদেরটা ভুল মনে হয়? নবিকে গালি দিলে যদি খুন করা যায় তাইলে তো হাসিনাও ঠিক ছিলো, মুজিবরে গালি দিলে সমালোচনা করলে পিটাইতো/আয়নাঘরে দিতো। আপনারা কি বুঝেন না যে আপনারাও ফ্যাসিস্ট?

Now, whether they have the right to engage in politics or not should no longer be a political decision based on personal opposition, such as, "I won’t let them participate because they are my opponents." That would be highly controversial and inappropriate.

But think for a moment — after 54 years of independence, they still cannot properly acknowledge Bangladesh's independence or struggle for freedom, cannot oppose Pakistan in spirit, cannot admit their wrongdoings, nor their support for the 1971 genocide. How, then, can they have the right to engage in politics?

Tapsi Tabassum Urmi was transferred from Rangpur to Lalmonirhat because of her remarks protesting the interim government's head, Yunus, when he suggested a "reset" in response to questions about the history and Liberation struggle of Bangladesh.

While there are strict laws preventing executive officers from protesting against the sitting government, was it morally justifiable to simply forget the brutal history of our fight for freedom like that, Professor Yunus insisted?

Sheikh Hasina and her party’s people never thought this country as their own. They just took the advantage of massive population of this region. General people suffered, died; so what! Now after the escape of killer Hasina have you seen any regret or sorrow feeling among the AL supporters? You won’t see it. Because their activities over the years made them inhumane.

Currently the whole nation is united against Indian aggression but AL's dalals are trying to implement India’s agenda in BD.
