Be ready to fight until oppression is no more.

If Pakistan resolution of condemning killing of an innocent man is so much insult to the Awami Shabagi’s , then what should be the punishment for India, when they directly tell our government to disrespect peoples opinion, and encourage them to conduct a one sided election which no body wants, and for which tens of people are dying each day at the hand of the government police thugs. Pakistan parliament resolution does not impact our lives directly, but what India is doing is affecting our personal, social, economic, and state life. The consequences of India’s naked interference in our internal affairs is destroying our unity, creating hatred, and civil war. If any body, it should be India with whom the Shabagis should be calling for severing of diplomatic ties. Bangladesh freedom and democracy is made hostage to one group of people supported by a blind section of media. Their audacity is increasing day by day, while making fun of our nation, showing two fingers to our nation’s demands, and to the demand of the international community for a free, fair and credible election. I have said many times before, that with the killings of Pilkhana officers, our Army has been politicised and severely compromised to the extent that it is no longer an Army of the nation. Today’s army deployment at various places to suppress people’s democratic right to protest is an indication of this notion.

While BNP and their allies slept for the last five years hoping for an election victory, Awamileague had been busy consolidating their power in all important section of the government by politicising them in their favour. Who needs to listen to the views of the people when the government has the machinery to suppress them? And now I am in pain to see that information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu, arrogantly showing to the press his five fingers for another five years in power. This is a show to further insult the nation that might is right, that the people can not do anything about it. Are the opposition so weak that they would allow this to happen while freedom fighters are among them? The people of the country need to act fast, we need all our people believing in democracy, justice, and right to choose to come together united and confront this evil. Our fervour must not be allowed to fade away in submission. Victory comes through striving and struggle. Fighting oppression is a legitimate Jihad, so be ready to fight until oppression is no more.

Some people’s nature can not be changed, even though at many times they have experienced examples of tyrannical rule. It is hard for me to believe that Sheikh Haasina, whose father Bongo Bondo Sheik Mujibur Rahman was killed due to his miscalculation of people’s mood, that she would do the same mistake as her father did almost forty years ago. People learns from history and their mistakes, but Sheikh Hasina is so blinded by power that she fails to understand that people of Bangladesh will never submit to tyranny or one party rule.

We need to do a few things to internationalize the human rights violation in Bangladesh committed by the ruling Awami Government of Sheikh Hasina. These could be by writing to head of states for condemnation, we could ask for travel ban for Awami leaders committing war crimes, their asset freeze in foreign banks, and get OIC on our side to condemn killings of innocent protesters and demand a fair trial for the rest of the leaders that are waiting trial at the ICT. The UN could cancel further deployment of Bangladeshi soldiers as peace keepers. It is absurd to think that Bangladeshi Army could not stop its government violating human rights and be called to uphold Human Rights in other countries. The USA and European Union is our strong economic partner and they must act strongly against Hasina’s government.   The likelihood of a peaceful solution very soon is unlikely. I can see the dark and ugly side of Sheikh Hasina. She will not go easily. People of Bangladesh have to make a stand and say no to tyranny. The international community must wake up and help us to establish rule of law, human rights, and democracy in our country which is hostage to the whims of Sheikh Hasina.
