Recital of novellas by some popinjays
by Anwar A Khan
We
have fact-checked key claims in the electoral manifestos of BNP and JOF.
Political observers say all that glitters are not gold. For the first time, in
the Bangladesh’s history, during Gen Ershad’s regime, Bangabandhu Mujib’s
killer Khondoker Moshtaque Ahmed formed JatiyaOikya Front (JOF) which included
his Democratic League, SM Sulaiman’s KSP and some other rickrack Lilliputian
rightist political parties being Moshtaque Ahmed as its chairman and Col
(Retd.) Abdur Rashid, another bigwig of the 15 August 1975 carnage, as
co-chairman.
For
the first time, in the Bangladesh’s history, during Gen Ershad’s regime,
Bangabandhu Mujib’s killer Khondoker Moshtaque Ahmed formed Jatiya Oikya Front
(JOF) which included his Democratic League, SM Sulaiman’s KSP and some other
rickrack Lilliputian rightist political parties being Moshtaque Ahmed as its
chairman and Col (Retd.) Abdur Rashid, another bigwig of the 15 August 1975
carnage as co-chairman. Thence Dr. Kamal Hossain by taking the name of
JatiyaOikya Front (JOF) afresh in the present day has virtuously toenailed the
line of murderers of Bangladesh’s Founding Father. Political observers also
believe he is an imbedded man of CIA and American establishment to inflict
indefensible punishment to the politics of Bangladesh in retaliation of their
utter failure to forestall from happening Bangladesh in 1971.
JOF
chief Dr. Kamal Hossain at a press conference on December 17 disclosed their
Election Manifesto for the 11th National Parliamentary Polls set on
December 30. A banner was found backside of the leaders of where it was clearly
written Proribortoner Lokkhey JatiyaOikya Front” (in the direction of change)
and “Dhanershishey vote din” (Cast vote for the symbol of Sheaf of Paddy).” JOF
unveiled their 21-page election manifesto which contains 35-point pledge for
the nation which entails ensuring the balance between the power of the
President and the Prime Minister, and introducing upper house in Parliament, to
restore people’s ownership…
On
December 18, JOF’s cardinal partner BNP - the mango-twigs of Jamaat-e-Islami
(JeI), the murdering squad and the war criminals of 1971 revealed their
12-point polls manifesto.
JOF
Chief Dr. Kamal Hossain unveiled the election manifesto with a pledge to ensure
democracy so that one-party rule cannot take root in the country. “We announce
the JatiyaOikyafront’s election charter. It’s a manifesto of people. We’ve
formulated it based on public opinion for people’s welfare. We believe people’s
ownership of the country will be restored through the voting,” he said.
BNP
has already doled out its “sheaf of paddy” poll symbol with 22 MP aspirants
belonging to Jamaat-e-Islami, the party that gained notoriety for its war
crimes role in the 1971 Liberation War of Bangladesh. It is now open-secret
that it’s senior most leaders are conspiring in league with Pakistan’s
deadliest spy agency-ISI for the regime change in Bangladesh through violent
bloodshed like 1971.
JOF
is a platform of political parties led by Gono Forum President Dr. Kamal
Hossain which includes the BNP, Dr. Kamal-led Jatiya Oikya Prokriya, ASM Abdur Rab’s
Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD-Rab), Mahmudur Rahman Manna’s NagorikOikya, and
Abdul Kader Siddique’s, Krishak Sramik Janata League, Gonoshasthaya Kendra
Founder Dr. Zafrullah Chowdhury and the likes of them. Every one of them is a
bright star in the history of Bangladesh’s liberation war in 1971 to establish
an independent and sovereign country for us and Bangladesh could have better
been expressed, have they been forged an alliance amongst themselves minus BNP,
minus JeI, minus anti-liberation force and their mango-twigs. But as ill luck
would have it, they all have ceded to the feet of the anti-liberation force and
their mangel-wurzel.
Most
of what JatiyaOikya Front and their platform member BNP say in their manifestos
is almost similar. JOF also announced that it would use BNP’s sheaf of paddy as
its electoral symbol. Then where is their moral place of uprightness? In fact,
they have simply become so much diminutives doltishly that they are utterly
poised towards fading away from Bangladesh’s politics after the national polls.
Our
origins preoccupy us. The desire to understand origins is as close to a
universal phenomenon as might be imagined. There is, as Edward Said observes,
“an aboriginal human need to point to or locate a beginning.” Fascination with
and curiosity about origins in general, and an interest in the beginnings of
human societies, human life, and indeed, the cosmos itself, lies at the heart
of its values and true spirits. But JOF and BNP have grounded their lamppost in
concrete undercoated with the crews of ruffians.
A
smile crossed the outfit’s chiefdom’s face as Dr. Kamal Hossain and his
lieutenants sauntered through the visitors’ press conference in the recent
past, they were found not concerned about the team running afoul of the rules.
An orotund was puffed out the other day by some popinjays’ declamations of
electoral manifestos. By announcing their electoral manifestos, JOF as a
theatre of the absurd no longer surprises. Nonetheless, it is understandable
their new actions which expose the extent to which lack of probity and respect
for what is moral and logical, do not cease to cause pain to them… While BNP
was born in the military cantonment with government exchequer’s funding and
utilising government spy agencies, it lost its soul and moral compass thence;
and now the party has become a pun in the hands of the more rapscallion
politicians to ensure that they are not held accountable.
People
do not wish to see the way we see politicians. The charade called politicians
shall not be the abode of a country that is attained through supreme sacrifices
of millions of people. That unprincipled political outfit (BNP is not a
political party as it seems to be) had elapsed on the very day of its bringing
into existence. It is now in full rein of a felon now residing abroad. It has
brushed up barfs of spoilers of the veridical spirits and values of our
glorious Liberation War by the outfit’s amoral kingbolt, Dr. Kamal Hossain and
his scalawag deputies; and the outfit’s present visual modality has tried to
lay out something to present as a gift with flicks of some themes and plots of
ground bespeaks of ulterior motives and that’s called their electoral
pronunciamentos.
Having
seen the newly born JOF and its topsy-turvy abracadabra harangues, I can tell
you the truth: Those are the bald-faced lies only. The bozo of JOF has never
even got to know someone with a light saber or lightsomeness, much less hold
one. It is a yarn about the galaxy’s true misfits — the less-than-special ones
who has risen up against the imperia out of desperation and for his diaphanous
personal Lilliputian necessity. He and his cronies have been more chippies in
glorifying the defeated enemies of our glorious Liberation War of 1971 giving
them moorage to their political combine and the country’s body politic to
fosterage gamin of our yesteryears aureoles.
The
yucky politicians as they are, their abracadabra harangue of electoral
manifestos are nothing but a tactic or maneuver intended to gain ground of a
vantage lonesome to snaffle power along with their knavish chums to further
rampage or run riot and dance or Terpsichore on our glorious red and green
flag. Whatever their averred assertions, as spelt out in the election manifestos,
are a jocularity like a circus party buffoon. The summation of their words that
are mouthed veritably sounds “Rogues supplant justice.” Dr. Kamal Hossain’s
political partners like BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) are fazing or enervating
criminal records and those would exacerbate once they, like rogue politicians
and their vile charactered lieutenants seize the country’s throne. But that
will be another bald-faced lie.
According
to Warren Bennis, “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into
reality.” But their enthusiastic chum salmons cogitate about the time of
sunrise. It is anathematic that they have been offering to Janus-faced deity
somas aesthesis of nonfictional prose forming an independent part of a printed
matter for distribution to the public to take them to power-boating.
Their
electoral pronunciamentos are nothing but an enlarged billow beyond truth or
reasonableness of without value, significance or point of forebodes. This will
before long be chapfallen. These are not anything, nothing, at all, but a
charade and a misleading falsehood with the country and its people.
The
role of political leadership in the successful implementation of path-breaking
people’s welfare policies in a democratically governed country is not their
vivid mental image. Building on research on case studies from around the world,
strategic planning and politics often go hand in hand in producing significant
policy outcomes in a democratically governed populace. The strategic planning
plays a transformative role in addressing critical political issues and
clarifying long-term people’s aspirations and policy goals. Together with
in-depth, context-appropriate research on strategic and urgent questions,
delineating coherent actions and means for implementation of furthering the
operational of change of policies are the aroma of politics. Where does their
quality of being able to perform; and a quality that permits or facilitates
achievement or accomplishment of such a vision that they spelt out in their
election manifestos the other days?
JOF
and BNP’s abracadabra recitation or programme line to introduce a positive and
quality political culture in Bangladesh is a good-for-naught, subsonic and not
capable of being made consistent or harmonious document with their own
political orientation or their parties’ school of thought. Theirs is a knavery;
a lack of honesty; and acts of lying.
There
is a commonly held assumption that long-term planning and democratic politics
are incompatible. The intended outcomes of long-term planning require
continuity, learning, and adaptation, but frequent election cycles and turnover
of political incumbents can disrupt established policy pathways and incentivise
public officials to focus on highly visible, short-term gains. The
embedded-ness of political leaders in social and administrative structures can
further constrain their authority and actions. A queasy political character as
Dr. Kamal Hossain has always been, how an essential and distinguishing
attribute of something or someone else Dr. Hossain be.
Besieged
by the 1971 war criminals, mass murderers, rapists…JOF chief brought out his
election manifesto to turn the country into a rainbow nation to create a
political culture where all people of varying opinions can coexist peacefully,
but, in fact, it is and will be a four flush. He does never possess or hold
such a vision in his own soul; and he is nothing but a reciter of that speech
only. Hence, it can safely be said it is aimed at making Bangladesh a banana
republic.
JOF
is an outfit based on legerdemain. Good always has to triumph over evil, and a
respect for the law and order establishment has to be encouraged. Gothic, as if
belonging to the Middle Ages; old-fashioned and unenlightened, he may be the
resident of an infernal region and may operate his fit out in that realm, not
in Bangladesh.
Many
people are completely discombobulated by Dr. Kamal’s environs, and bleary-eyed
about how he arrived in that place for recitation of a novelette having no
ownership or possession of its values and inspirits. BNP’s past history speaks
that the bucked-up writers in a disloyal and faithless manner write lectures
for that dame and beauty bush having elegance or taste or refinement in dress.
Guinea pepper flower or snake's head fritillary recites the scripts only. JOF
or BNP doesn’t even hold or possess a single word of the written scripts in
their souls. Does Dr. Kamal or MirzaFakrul, at all, comprehend what they have
said? But they want to rule us to chivvy of depredation with more savageness.
Wow! A belly laugh! A side-splitter! A thigh-slapper! A howler! An utter a
shrill cry! A piping up! And what not!
