Bangladesh dismayed over Indian politician's call for UN peacekeepers

2024-12-03

[GEO.TV] Bangladesh's interim government expressed shock on Monday at a politician in neighbouring India's call to deploy UN peacekeeping forces in the country to protect Hindus and other minorities from violent mostly peaceful attacks. The Moslem-majority nation saw a student-led uprising in August that ousted autocratic premier the loathesome Sheikh Hasina ...Bangla dynastic politician and now exiled former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia showed such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums. That is probably because Khaleda's late husband was the Pak tool who had Mujib assassinated... after 15 years of iron-fisted rule. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of India's West Bengal state — which shares close cultural and linguistic ties with Bangladesh — urged New Delhi on Monday to petition the UN to address their concerns. "They can send the peacekeeping force to Bangladesh and rescue our people," Banerjee said. Bangladesh's de facto foreign minister Touhid Hossain expressed dismay over what amounted to one of the biggest censures of his country's leadership by India since Hasina's ouster. "I don't know, I can't understand why Mamata Banerjee made such a statement. I know her personally, I have visited her home several times," he told news hounds. Touhid accused Indian media of spreading disinformation about the status of Hindus in Bangladesh but offered a more conciliatory note to the neighbouring government.

Three friends met the same fate

2016-09-02

[Dhaka Tribune] How they knew each other, how close they were and how they had walked together down this dark path, has not yet been found out. What is certain is that they all left home on the same day, February 3. Shazad Rouf Arko, Nibras Islam and Tousif Hossain left their families at the same day from their residence at Basundhara Residential area, Uttara and Dhanmondi area accordingly. Tousif completed his O Levels and A Levels from Maple Leaf School of Dhanmondi. Then he went to study at the Kuala Lumpur campus of Australia’s prestigious Monash University around 2012 where one of Tousif’s friends was Nibras, according to the general diary filed by Tousif’s father Dr Ajmal Hossain with the Dhanmondi cop shoppe after he went missing. Ar Ajmal also said that they had contacted Nibras’ family and learned that he too had gone missing the same day. However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... it could not be confirmed if any GD was filed after Nibras went missing. Nannu Miah, caretaker of the building Tousif lived in, told the Dhaka Tribune that the boy usually came to Bangladesh in a regular interval and most often went outside in the afternoon carrying a bag. He had the bag also on the day he went missing. Inspector (investigation) of Dhanmondi cop shoppe Helal Uddin said they had tried to find Tousif but could not find him. His last known location was in Dhanmondi. Nibras completed his O Levels and A Levels from Turkish Hope School in Uttara near where he lived and then went to North South University. Then he quit halfway and left the country for Monash University in Malaysia in around 2013. According to police Tousif and Nibras returned to Bangladesh in November 2015 on the same day. When Nibras was studying at NSU he became friends with Arko. Both of them enjoyed playing football and were active in social media. One of the students of the time told the Dhaka Tribune that he knew both of them for their football skills but they hardly ever played in the campus. In his LinkedIn profile, Arko mentioned that he had worked as an apprentice at Berger Paints since April 2015. Arko’s father Touhid Rouf filed a GD with Vatara cop shoppe on February 6, saying he left his home in the early hours of February 3. His last cell phone location was near his residence, said SI Mizanur Rahman, IO of the missing complaints. They were first found together when Shahbagh police jugged I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! three people near the Institute of Engineers in Ramna for their alleged plotting of subversive activities. The arrestees were Raiyan Minhaj alias Raimu alias Armin, 24, Ahmed Sammur Raihan alias Chiller, 23, and Towhid Bin Ahmed alias Riyaj alias Kachhi. Later police filed a case against them under the anti-terrorism act. The three were now on bail. According to the police six other young men expeditiously departed at a goodly pace that day. The arrestees however named Arko, Nibras and Tousif. But they did not confirm their real identities. Nibras was killed in Operation Thunderbolt by the Army at Gulshan Holey Artisan Cafe on July 2, Arko was killed in a DMP SWAT drive ar Kallyanpur called Operation Storm 26 and on August 27, Tousif was killed in an operation by SWAT in Naraynganj’s Paikpara area with the criminal mastermind of Gulshan attack Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury.

It supported independence in 1971 and has periodic shootouts and fisticuffs with the Bangla Jamaat-e-Islami, but has fallen on hard times, with many of its leaders rubbed out by the RAB or indignant citizenry. It is also subject to factionalism, to the extent that it may have more factions than it has actual members... (PBCP), were killed in "shootouts" between their cohorts and law enforcers in Khulna and Jessore yesterday. Including them the number of extrajudicial killings comes to 17 in this month. At least eight were killed while they were in jug of law enforcers. Police versions of the "shootouts" were found more or less similar. Extrajudicial killings should be stopped immediately, said Sultana Kamal, executive director of Ain o Salish Kendra, a rights body that provides legal aid. "If they are really accused [of crimes], they should be punished through a proper judicial process," she said, adding such extrajudicial killings should not be allowed in any democratic country. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Don Smilzo looked for an avenue of escape. The only window opened a hundred feet above the moat. The nearest of the hired assassins hold a bloody axe. The window was looking better all the time.... expressing concern over the recent spate of extrajudicial killings, Human Rights Watch ... dedicated to bitching about human rights violations around the world... called for an independent investigation into the incidents. Yesterday, Touhidul Islam Sabuj, 28, the second-in-command of PBCP, was killed in an exchange of shots between his party members and police in Phultala upazila of Khulna, according to police.

He was taken to Phultala Upazila Health Complex where he departed this vale of tears nearly eight hours after the incident, the OC added. "Dr. Quincy to the white courtesy phone! Dr. Quincy!" However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... Monjur Morshed, upazila health and family planning officer, said he had heard from the doctor, who was on duty at the hospital at the time, that Sabuj was brought in dead. "He's dead, Jim!" Sabuj was accused in nine murder cases and three others filed under the Arms Act. He had the death sentence on twelve systems! Police said they had recovered two firearms, 19 bullets, six handmade bombs and two machetes from the spot. In Abhaynagar upazila of Jessore, Rabiul Islam, 28, a member of a local gang, Mesbah Bahini, was killed in a "shootout" with the joint force, police sources said. "It is the joint force! Open fire, men!" This is the gang that had hacked and then burnt alive Chaitanya Kumar Mondol, 48, the youth and sports secretary of Magura ward Awami League, on Sunday night. Police tossed in the slammer You have the right to remain silent... Rabiul yesterday in connection with a mugging case. "Stick 'em up!" Acting on the information extracted from him, "Ow! O-w-w-w-w! Make him stop! I confess! I killed Jon Benet!" a team of the joint force conducted a drive at Ziadanga village in the upazila around 2:00am to recover arms, Syed Mostafa Kamal, assistant superintendent of police in Jessore, told The Daily Star. "Yessir, that's what they done!" As the law enforcers reached near a bamboo cluster of the village, cohorts of Mesbah-ur-Rahman, leader of the gang, opened fire on them, the ASP said. "You'll never take me alive, coppers!" The join force members fired back. [BANG!] We knew that! [BANG!] During the "shootout" Rabiul tried to run away "I'm outta here!" and got injured in the firing. "Aaaaiiiieee! I am undone!" He was rushed "Is the ambulance here yet?" "Patience! It's on its way! See the blinky light?" "Ummm... That's a rickshaw!" to Abhaynagar Upazila Health Complex where doctors declared him dead. He's dead, Jim! Rabiul was accused in several cases, including murder and mugging charges. "Aye, sir. He wuz a bad un!" Three police personnel also sustained minor injuries during the firing. "Whoa! Rafiqul! That's gotta hurt!" "You betcha it does. Loan me your nail clipper!" A pistol and two bullets were recovered from the scene. "No, wait a minute! Three bullets! I found another one!" "That's not a bullet! It's a... a... musket ball?" "A musket ball's a bullet."

Bangla: Madrasa shut over militancy

2009-08-14

[Bangla Daily Star] Al Markajul Islami As-Salafi Madrasa at Nawdapara in the city was closed sine die by its authorities yesterday due to attempts of implanting extremism in students by Ahle Hadith Andolon Bangladesh (Ahab), a militant outfit led by Asadullah Al Galib. Galib, arrested in 2005 on charges of militancy and now free on bail, has been sheltering outsiders, many of whom are students of Rajshahi University and Rajshahi College, in madrasa dormitories for last few months, said Principal of the madrasa Abdus Samad Salafi. These outsiders with assistance from some pro-Galib teachers used to assault students, sometimes the teachers who were not in Galib's favour, said Salafi, adding that they were also engaged in indoctrinating the students to defy madrasa rules and join Ahab. "Concerned about these men, we made the decision to close the madrasa indefinitely," said Salafi, former Nayeb-e-Amir who resigned from Ahab along with some 48 others in April for the outfit's anti-state activities. Sources said just before the closure, the Ahab adherents prevented the students from attending a discussion on the life of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and a special prayer on the occasion of the national mourning day. Around noon, when the madrasa authorities were about to start the programme, Abdur Razzak Bin Yusuf, a madrasa teacher, kept the students from joining the function. The students said Razzak told them not to attend the function because Galib does not like Bangabandhu. The madrasa premises is the property of Touhid Trust, an NGO from where Galib was ousted for financial anomalies, said Salafi, adding, Galib has been occupying a building on the campus that was meant for a medical centre.
