The new coalition envisages realising 7-point demand, including the resignation of the government, dissolution of parliament, formation of an election-time neutral government and the release of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, and meeting other 12 goals which are all derisory.

( November 14, 2018, Dhaka, Sri Lanka Guardian) The country is now in full-fashioned of election mood. If the blue wave is big enough—if it is real and national! So, let’s do a vote, let’s do a vote. There is still the thinnest of threads that bind us together and the willingness, in certain situations, to listen and learn. But we are one thread away from everything being cut. And that’s why Election Day is everything. Your words have power. Find words that unite. Find words that unify because if you don’t fathom, the consequences after the voting, will be horrific. So, no vote is for anti-Bangladesh liberation forces and their mango-twigs. If they are voted to power, further colossal damage would bechance to the spirits of our glorious liberation war of 1971. And that should not be countenanced under any settings.
The direful killing squad Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) has been recognised under a veiled cover up as a member of this newly formed coalescence –Jatiya Okkaya Front (National Unity Front) under Dr. Kamal Hossain’s stewardship before the upcoming National Polls. But the obnoxious nexus of BNP and JeI are the driving-force of this movement.
Dr. Kamal’s political party, Gono Forum, has no anchor on the soil of Bangladesh. He is a solitary showcase. ASM Abdur Rob, the supreme leader of a bantam faction of a political party – JSD, one time a great revolutionary and contributed gigantically to the process of establishing Bangladesh in a bloody war in 1971 with the flagitious Pakistani military junta. He has now become a midget figure in the country’s political arena. Mahmudur Rahman Manna is a lone wolf in Bangladesh’s politics though once upon a time he was a famed student leader. Dr. Zafrullah Chowdhury is a veteran Freedom Fighter, physician, owner of Gono Shashtya Hospital and a noetic of BNP politics which has been surrounded by anti-Bangladesh liberation forces since its inception in the military cantonment. He is also a loner having no footmark in the country’s politics. Kader Siddiqui was fondly called as ‘Tiger Siddiqui’ because of his majuscule and heroic role during our glorified Liberation War of 1971, has bivouacked in JeI’s accompaniment long before. He has now further cross-filed his name in the newfangled bungled coalition and he has no no-parking zone in politics in the country.
It is very sad and outrageous that some veteran Freedom Fighters tossing out their morality sodding barefacedly to bring into existence of this immoral bird-scarer. Whereas despite their limitations, these straw men could have built up an opposition political platform based on the true ideals for which Bangladesh was founded in 1971 leaving the obnoxious nexus of Jamaat-e-BNP, the rock-ribbed anti-Bangladesh liberation getup and their mango-twigs. And that should have been the right choice for them to garner greater support from so many people. While on the contrary, it is clear that they have sold out themselves to the feet of those mischief-mongers.
On the one hand, the Jatiya Oikyo Front declared publicly that they would establish a new golden Bangladesh based on the dreams of the country’s Founding Father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. On the other hand, they have now become some crawlers at the hands of the country’s opponents. In fact, they have become oxymoron and two opposite qualities or ideas seems totally unlikely.
From another point of view, Hefazat is a religious trading house; and most of its senior and headstone leaders belong to JeI killing squad, another dreadful religious trading house. And the government has taken their blessings which do not sound, at all, in the nick of time.
The new coalition envisages realising 7-point demand, including the resignation of the government, dissolution of parliament, formation of an election-time neutral government and the release of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, and meeting other 12 goals which are all derisory.
Dr. Kamal Hossain was in abroad at the time of Bangabandhu’s brutal murder, but he was then touring abroad being Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Government’s Foreign Minister. He was then well-known throughout the world because of his outstanding educational background (his teacher Henry Kissinger also praised him aloud uttering the words “Dr. Kamal Hossain could speak better English than him” when he visited Bangladesh after we achieved independence and The Daily Ittefaq carried this news on its front page), and was also an accepted persona to the Western World leaders. He could have convened a press conference or more than that in the overseas countries to condemn the savage putting to death of the country’s Founding Father Mujib in the harshest language and marshalled immense backing of the famed world leaders. The history of Bangladesh would then have been different. But he did nothing.
Bangabandhu loved him so much because of his mettlesome educational status and intellectual calibre. He made him as the Law Minister and then the Foreign Minister at his Cabinet at such a young age of him. But where are his humanistic lineaments? I have heard that he is the legal counsel of so many multinational organisations and looks after their interests only, not for ours. He earns huge money through his legal profession. Have you ever heard that he has spent a single coin for the down-trodden people of our society? Have you ever heard that he has served his legal profession for poor people in the country at free-of-cost or at a minimal fee? What about his reciprocation for Bangabandhu and Bangladesh?
During pettifogger Gen Ershad’s regime, he was once off-loaded from the plane when he tried to go abroad, but he chose to remain unsounded against this rough-cut shenanigan character. He is a man fond of ease and comfort in life. Politics is a very large science; here there is no short-cut pathway; politics means the mythos of political orientation and bring about greater welfare of people which are not the dominant allele in the character of Dr. Kamal Hossain. Being a politician, what is the contribution of Dr. Kamal Hossain to the country? If you ask this question to him directly, we think he will immediately enshroud his face.
Dr. Kamal has now fallen into an ambuscade put up by the anti-Bangladesh liberation forces and their mango-twigs wittingly or un-wittingly. Others are toenailing his faulting line of action to furtherance the defensive structure of anti-Bangladesh liberation forces and their mango-twigs.
Dr. B. Chowdhury, President of Bikalpadhara Bangladesh, a petite political party with no fundament or cornerstone in the soil of Bangladesh. He was instrumental among others who belonged to the anti-Bangladesh liberation force and strongly backed up self-declared President Gen Zia in introducing ‘Bangladeshi Nationalism’, ‘Bangladesh Zindabad’ like inglorious ism in the light of Pakistani spirit in opposing the glorious spirits up of Bangladesh in the country and sheer betraying the supreme sacrifices of our millions of valorous and patriotic people to ground Bangladesh in 1971.
Dr. B. Chowdhury’s father late Kafiluddin Chowdhury was a very senior politician (senior to Bangabandhu Mujib), belonged to AL and a MNA of the 1970 Pakistan-based national polls. B. Chowdhury personally drove his vehicle on-board of his father, crossed over the Indian border and joined our glorious Liberation War of 1971 to establish Bangladesh. But throwing away all his morals bare-facedly, he vauntingly pigged, ravened, downed and shored at the bivouac of anti-Bangladesh liberation camp and boot-polished the self-declared president Gen. Zia and his anti-liberation compadres. Once upon a time, he was thrown out from the palace of Bangababhan by nescient Khaleda Zia and her confederates. During that time, I saw him fleeing away to salvage his life riding at the backside of a motorbike like a stooge or a laughingstock at Mohakhali Railway crossing point being chased by some gawks of Begum Zia and her brigands.
They all have now decided to participate in the upcoming National Elections in Bangladesh under the present constitutional framework and government under the Premier Sheikh Hasina . But these petite unrichly or unlagged and un-coloured shenanigans, as stated above, have started dallied (with money, muscle…from JeI louts) in the name of its alliance with the very foundation of Bangladesh which we achieved in 1971 after paying up a staggeringly heavy price.
A knife thrust is waiting for Bangladesh. But the rascality of these blackguards, especially, the JeI stumblebums and their mango-twigs must be smacked-down by the election time government machinery in a flush in public if they try to create any anarchy or lawlessness in the country before and after the National Polls.
And the title of this piece stands out on that motif. Above all, Dr. Kamal Hossain or Dr. B. Chowdhury or their buddies cannot fiddle with ducks and drakes with a native battery of idioms with the country and its people which prescribes egregious collocations of vocables as the basic put up with for intolerance, or put at a loss for flummox. In short, the newly forged opposition political combine ahead of the national polls is not a fine line, at all. Instead, it will be a disconsolate line for Bangladesh and its people. Here sounds the most natural note in the nation.
