সীমানা পেরোতে চাই, জীবনের গান গাই... British magazine The Economist usually writes about Bangladesh. But there is a burly tendency of serving purposes of a controversial group. The latest article came in headlined ‘Justice in Bangladesh: Another kind of Crime’ on 23 March 2013. The article said, ‘Bangladesh’s war-crimes tribunal is sullying its judicial and political systems.’ It also said, ‘The war-crimes tribunal is poisoning the well from which Bangladesh will one day want to drink.’ Indeed, it’s really an audacity to comment in such way. I don’t know who the writer(s) writes about Bangladesh in Economist. Perhaps, s/he cannot see or doesn’t want to see the real pictures of the country. Why the people of Bangladesh do not accept largely Jamaat-e-Islami? There are certainly some reasons. There are more things beyond the appearance of Jamaat-e-Islami. Jamaat was formed with the association of British colonialists on August 26, 1941 as an adversary force against communist movement in India. The founder of the party was Sayed Abul Ala Moududi, a fanatic, was awarded death sentence (not acted) for inciting a communal riot between Kadiyani and Muslum. It has been 72 years of their age, but they’ve not got any remarkable place in the hearts of people of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. (Jamaat is an international organization) But what are the reasons? I’d like to draw your kind notice only to Bangladesh’s context. What Jamaat did in 1971? We all know an armed force attack to their counter armed force, not to the civilians. On the night of March 25, 1971, extremely equipped Pakistani (popularly pronounced in Bangladesh- Fuckistani) armed forces just attacked the civilians and killed 10,000 people within the night in Dhaka. Jamaat is the party, which stance was by the side of Pakistani armed forces. A nation can never allow politics of such a historical enemy. Let’s come to the post ’71 era. In 1973, among 38, the citizenship of Ghulam Azam, the Ameer (chief) of Jamaat during the Liberation war, was cancelled by Bangladeshi government. In 1977, Ghulam Azam applied for citizenship but was refused. In 1978, Ghulam Azam came in Bangladesh with the passport of Pakistani government (!). He was excused as he said he would meet his mother. But he stayed till 1994 illegally in Bangladesh. In 1979, Jamaat-e-Islami (Bangladesh) was reformed led by Ghulam Azam (Jamaat did not publicize the matter. They announced Abbas Ali Khan as Acting Ameer keeping Ghulam Azam underground). In 1986, Jamaat took part in an election arranged by army government of Gen. Ershad. (BNP did not take part in the election as it was overseen by an army govt. BNP next came to the power in 1991 through general election after the Gen. Ershad regime’s collapse in 1990. It is noted that, Awami League also took part in the ’86 election. From then, a game of chase was begun in Bangladeshi politics. Jamaat was waiting for that loophole and they got that and enjoyed it to the lees.) Jamaat, took the chances well and got 18 seats in parliament in 1991 election and what they did, they announced publicly Ghulam Azam the Ameer of the party. The party, however, rooted their basement in Bangladeshi politics with the collaboration of power sucking, corrupted Awami Leage and BNP politicians in different times in different measures. But what are now happening in Bangladesh? Fact one: Bangladesh enjoys 70 percent of people who are bellow 35. Fact two: In a recent research of Transparency International (TI), Bangladeshi youths appear less corrupted than the youths of emerging countries like India, Brazil, North Korea, Vietnam etc. Bangladeshi youths got 8.00 pints in the scale of 10 while others remain less than 4.00 points in the research. Fact three: What is beyond the imagination of Europe and America that Bangladeshi youths who are 70% of population, are liberal, practice moderate Islam, go to University, practice art, culture, literature and philosophy and most significantly, they write Blog in their mother language Bangla and exchange views among them (seemingly more than the youths of any south Asian country). Fact four: The youths of Bangladesh are determined to leave behind the ‘game of chase’ of power between the tarnished politicians of Bangladesh. They are eager to see their motherland a happy, prosperous, liberal and a democratic and secular. Fact five: Youths do want the banishment of Jamaat-e-Islam as it has not said SORRY even now for their crooked stance against Bangladesh during liberation war and they do always ‘negative’ politics which are totally antithesis of Youths’ desire of making a country of their own. Youths do want the banishment of Jamaat-e-Islam as youths don’t believe Jamaat-e-Islami. Youths believe, if Jamaat ‘come’ to power, they will never honor and pay homage to the Martyrs of Language Movement and Martyrs of Liberation War. Jamaat must stop the traditions as such traditions are ‘prohibited’ by Islam. If Jamaat ‘come’ to power, no one would be allowed to observe the colorful festivity of Bangali culture like Pahela Baishakh (1st day of Bangla New year), Pahela Falgun (1st day of Spring). Fact six: The Medias of all kinds in Bangladesh are now dominated by the innovative, creative and resourceful youths. Another Fact: Jamaat-e-Islami men and their student front Islami Chhatra Shibir men are backward, selfish and fanatic. They are far detached from the people of Bangladesh and a ‘gulf’ behind the light of education, technology and art and culture. But what they possess is some money. They can appoint only European and American lobbyists for their rescue from the hollow that would not possible. However, if someday Jamaat might occupy power, it would be possible through only coup like Taleban of Afganistan. Fair politics and politics of democracy do not go with the party.
