Blaming indirectly ruling BNP for recent Attack on our garment industry is childish. I believe that “jubo Shongram Porishad” created by the known opposition groups could have been involved to destroy our garment industry to cripple the government. Known Foreign Inteligent agency’s (R..)monetory help could not be ruled out. Well trained professional political activists participated in the attack on our garment industry.
Very few garment worketrs were seen in thoose attack. If we analyze the vidio footege of the attack we can come to a conclusion that professional crimuinal gangs intentionally attacked the garment industry not the garment workers. It is absolutely wrong to blame the garment workers for destroying their own bread earner industry. Even in some cases garment workers ptrevented the attackers to damage some garment industry.
Opposition Awami League tried to blame the ‘injustice to the garment workers’ are the main cause of this attack, that’s not true at all. If we ask any affected garment workers we will know the reality behind this attack.
I undrrstand that at the final hour of the BNP led Jote government their popular support had reduced dramatically because of some direct affect of power shortage,water shortage, incresiong price of essential commidities and widespread corruption of some BNP Miniosters, that does not mean people love for Awami League has increased dramatically. It’s still premature to predict that Awami League might win the next parliamentery election on negatve support for BNP led alliance. Awami league has to earn enough popular support with their action and honest leadership.And that path is not easy as some Awami sympatjizers predicted. Bangladeshi voters atre very shrewd ,they never failed to choose right person to lead them.
Sinceely,

It is not Sheikh Hasina, not Awami League, not any member of opposition that
has created the environment where such lawlessness can be perpetrated.
Please use reason and not the impulse!
Kansat was for electricity/water/Ashulia also for Water/Electricity.
Government has failed to continue the development in the power sector Awami
League started with a sense of emergency.
Government failed to protect the lives and security of its people. Did Awami
League has to do anything? No.
BanglaBhai continued his atrocities with impunity–his arrest order by the
Prime Minister had been ignored until our Big Masters–the EU and the USA–
raised its stick. Within days Both Shaiokh Rahman and Banglabhai and even
many of its second and third level leaders got apprehended! Was it a ploy
of the Government that they would nab them at the end of their term and
mislead people about their success in controlling the terrorism! Is it Awami
League’s fault to reject making of new electoral roll from the blank and
demand the electoral roll of 2000 be updated? How come all most all of the
justices appointed by the BNP are in consensus in rejecting the Electoral
roll prepared by the EC.
Now let us get back to Garments–Is it possible that the people involved in
the arson and destruction of Garments Industries are actually the people of
the Jot Govt.? To answer this we need to find out who are the owners of
these Garment Factories. Rumor abounds that–the recently forming Islami
Oikya Jot as opposed to Jamaat was pledged funding by many of the garment
Factory owners whose factories have been gutted.
If you are looking for escape goat to what is happening as a consequence of
the present Government,s disregard to law of the country and being engaged
in politicization of all branches of the Government (Jamaat did that subtly
and the BNP did that by fiat)– go ahead and blame whoever you may want but
the fact will come out sooner or later. Let me tell you a story–somewhat
like what is happening now. In 1954 there was a riot in the ADAMJEE JUTE
Mills in Dhaka and in “CHANDRA GHONA PAPER MILL” in Chittagong between
Non-Bangalee and Bangalee. As the riots were started by the
non-Bengalees–lots of Bangaee laborers were caught unaware and got killed
or maimed. Do you know what happened next–Gulam Mohammad the then Governor
General of Pakistan, citing these incidences as signs of lawlessness
dissolved the Joint Front Cabinet which was led by AK Fazlul Haque as chief
minister. Fazlul Haque refused to take any stand against this order of
Gulam Mohammad (It is known as promulgation of 92-A) as he feared that
Pakistan Army may get involved. He was heard teling his joint front
colleagues–” What do you want me to do? Do you want me to become another
“Mossaddeq” ?”–referring to the coup that reinstated Shah of
Iran and put
Mossaddeq and his party people in Jail and all the progressive nationalist
forces of Iran on the run–leaving the political arena to the Mullas and the
Mosques(–and ultimately we saw the rise of Ayatolla’s).
The current attitude of so called Islam Passand and Pakistan Passand groups
in Bangladesh is: “Anything but Awami League!”. Never mind the forces
for a
secular Bangladesh will ultimately prevail and, therefore, Awami League, at
least for now, as no other political Party can yet provide a viable
alternative.
What about trying Khaleda Zia for destroying the “VAB MURTI OF
BANGLADESH”
for presiding over a most corrupt, incompetent, arrogant and law-defying
Government? For trying to redefine the ideals and principles for which
Bangladesh was fought for and won.
