অপ্রকাশিত ইতিহাসঃ

২৯ এপ্রিল ১৯৯১ঃ বাংলাদেশের উপকূলে ঘূর্ণিঝড়ের তান্ডব। অন্যদিকে নতুন সরকারের কোষাগার শূন্য। গুদাম শূন্য। কর্ণফুলী সেতুর একাংশ ভেঙে ভেসে চলে গিয়েছে নৌবাহিনীর প্যাট্রোলের আঘাতে। চট্টগ্রাম এয়ারবেজের যুদ্ধবিমানগুলো উলটে পালটে ছড়িয়ে ছিটয়ে আছে।

সংবাদ পাওয়ার সঙ্গে সঙ্গেই বেগম জিয়ার মনে হল ৯ বছরের স্বৈরাচারবিরোধী আন্দোলনের সহযোদ্ধা শেখ হাসিনার কথা। লাখ জনতার সামনে দেওয়া প্রতিশ্রুতির কথা। গণতান্ত্রিক বাংলাদেশে সব রাজনৈতিক দল হবে একে অন্যের ফিল ইন দ্যা গ্যাপ।

শেখ হাসিনা হোলিকাপ্টার দাবী করলেন দূর্গত অঞ্চলে যেতে। তাই সঙ্গে সঙ্গেই বেগম জিয়া সংসদের বিরোধী দলীয় নেত্রীকে দুর্গত এলাকায় নিতে হেলিকপ্টার বরাদ্দ দিতে বললেন। এই নির্দেশের মাধ্যমে নবীন প্রধানমন্ত্রী।অজান্তে রুলস অফ বিজনেস ভঙ্গ করে বসলেন। কারণ প্রধানমন্ত্রী স্পিকার আর রাষ্ট্রপতির বাইরে কারো জন্য হেলিকপ্টার দেওয়ার নিয়ম নেই।

ঘোঁট বাঁধিয়ে বসলেন ফিরোজ নূন। তিনি নিয়মের একবিন্দু এদিক ওদিক করবেন না। একান্ত করতে হলে খালেদা ম্যাডাম যেন লিখিত অর্ডার দেন তাঁকে। শেষ পর্যন্ত স্পিকার সাহেবকেও ঐ কপ্টারে পাঠিয়ে রুলস অফ প্রায়রিটি ঠিক রাখা হল।

এই ভ্রমণে স্পিকার, ক্যাপ্টেন হাফিজ এবং তোফায়েল আহমদ ছিলেন শেখ হাসিনার সঙ্গে। শেখ হাসিনা হয়তো জানতেও পারলেন না কী হুলুস্থুল যাত্রার আগে হচ্ছিল।

মজার বিষয় এরপর জনসভায় তিনি বললেনঃ

'এই সরকার কুফা সরকার; তাই এরা ক্ষমতাই আসার সাথে সাথে ঘূর্ণিঝড়ে লাখ লাখ মানুষ মারা গেছে।

আজকের দিনে প্রধানমন্ত্রী শেখ হাসিনা কি এমন একটি উদাহরণ সৃষ্টি করবেন? তাঁর কাছে এমন এটিচিউড তাঁর দলীয় কর্মীরাও কি ভাবতে পারেন? কল্পনা করা যায়?

বেগম জিয়া সেদিন আইন ভাঙ্গতে বসে ছিলেন। অথচ অন্যজনের সেই আইনের অন্যায় প্রয়োগে জীবন মরনের সন্ধিক্ষণে পৌঁছেছেন বেগম জিয়া।

Both BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia and Awami League MP Haji Salim are convicts. Both needed treatment abroad. Even though family members of Khaleda Zia have asked the law minister and government repeatedly to take her abroad for medical treatment, they were denied by the authorities. Yet Haji Salim, who's been convicted for 10 years over corruption, has returned home after receiving medical treatment in Bangkok, Thailand. There has been soaring criticism in the national media regarding the treatment by the government in regard to the two convicts.

Its predecessor, the party (Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan), strongly opposed the independence of Bangladesh and break-up of Pakistan. In 1971, paramilitary forces associated with the party collaborated with the Pakistan Army in mass killings of Bangladeshi nationalists and pro-intellectuals.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]

Upon the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the new government banned Jamaat-e-Islami from political participation since the government was secular and some of its leaders went into exile in Pakistan. Following the assassination of the first president and the military coup in 1975, the ban on the Jamaat was lifted and the new party Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh was formed. Exiled leaders were allowed to return. Abbas Ali Khan was the acting Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh. The Jamaat agenda is the creation of an "Islamic state" with the Sha'ria legal system, and outlawing "un-Islamic" practices and laws. For this reason, it interpretes their central political concept "Iqamat-e-Deen" as establishing Islamic state by possession of state power

Following the assassination of the first president and the military coup in 1975, the ban on the Jamaat was lifted and the new party Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh was formed.

[...] In 2010 the government, led by the Awami League, began prosecution of war crimes committed during the 1971 war under the International Crimes Tribunal. By 2012, two leaders of the BNP, one leader from Jatiyo Party and eight of Jamaat had been charged with war crimes, and by March 2013, three Jamaat leaders had been convicted of crimes. In response, the Jamaat held major strikes and protests across the country, which led to more than 60 deaths (mostly by security forces.)

The former leader of Jamaat-e-Islami, Bangladesh's largest Islamist party, was sentenced to 90 years in jail for crimes against humanity on 15 July 2013. [...]

In 1973, the government cancelled his citizenship for allegedly co-operating with Pakistani forces during the independence war.

Azam lived as an exile in Pakistan and the UK but returned to Bangladesh in 1978 when the country was led by Gen Ziaur Rahman - the assassinated husband of the country's current opposition leader [of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party] Khaleda Zia.

Minority community leaders, rights activists and liberal personalities have raised concerns over the call by acting chief of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Tarique Rahman, who stands convicted in a number of cases, for party men to mobilise on the streets for "regime change" on 28 October [2023].

[...] Rana Dasgupta said, considering the violent attacks orchestrated by BNP in the past, "this latest threat by Tarique is deeply concerning for the minorities in Bangladesh".

"Any political party that complies with the basic tenets of democracy should refrain from issuing such threats publicly," Dasgupta, general secretary of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Oikya Parishad, added.

In the run-up to the 2014 national election, violence on the streets coupled with targeted attacks on minorities across the country still traumatise the victims, he observed

Bangladesh will hold its next general election on Jan. 7, but the country's main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party, led by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, is boycotting the race

DHAKA, Bangladesh -- Police in Bangladesh clashed Tuesday with opposition supporters who blocked roads to demand that the prime minister resign and hand power to a nonpartisan caretaker to oversee elections next year. At least two people were killed and dozens injured, officials said.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has rejected a caretaker government and on Tuesday ruled out any dialogue with the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party, which is behind the protests. She warned of consequences if they continue with their announced intention to block roads for three days starting Tuesday.

Dozens of people were arrested across the country, reports said.

In the central district of Kishoreganj, two opposition supporters were killed in clashes Tuesday with police, and 40 other people, including 15 police officers, were injured, local government administrator Abul Kalam Azad said.

Clashes also took place in the Narayanganj district outside the capital, Dhaka, where local media reports said three policemen were stabbed. The United News of Bangladesh agency reported violence including vandalism and arson in Dhaka.

The government has been under pressure for months because of anti-government protests by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia. Elections are expected in January, and the opposition says it won't join unless Hasina guarantees a free vote via a caretaker government.

Tensions flared on Saturday when a massive rally by Zia's party in Dhaka turned violent, and at least four people were killed in ensuing violence through Monday, including the alleged beating death of a policeman over the weekend.

On Sunday, the opposition party held a daylong general strike across Bangladesh when authorities arrested a key opposition politician who has led the movement in the absence of Zia, who is ailing. The party then announced it would start blocking roads Tuesday.

Zia’s party says the government used excessive force on Saturday in attempts to prevent their rally, but authorities accused opposition supporters of attacking police and said they vandalized the chief justice’s official residence.

On Tuesday, police in Dhaka arrested two opposition leaders, Mirza Abbas and Moazzem Hossain Alal, while many other senior opposition leaders went into hiding to avoid arrest.

The foreign missions of Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Norway, Britain and the United States in Dhaka issued a joint statement this week urging all sides to refrain from violence and work together to create conditions for a free, fair and peaceful election.

U.S. Ambassador Peter Haas said Tuesday he hoped all sides would engage in dialogue, after meeting with Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Habibul Awal.

But Hasina ruled out the possibility of dialogue, and described the opposition as “murderers," in a reference to the alleged beating death Saturday of a police official.

The prime minister strongly criticized Zia’s party, and said the government would resist any attempts to delay the elections. "We won’t just let them off this time. They will not be able to stop the election this way,” she said.

She also said the U.S. ambassador's call for dialogue with the opposition was like asking U.S. President Joe Biden to hold talks with former President Donald Trump. "If Biden sits with Trump for dialogue, then I will hold the dialogue,” she told a news conference.

Politics in Bangladesh has been dominated for decades by two major dynastic parties led by Hasina and Zia.

Hasina seeks a fourth consecutive term as she pursues an agenda of development by implementing mega projects and offering partnerships to China, India, France, Russia, Japan and Saudi Arabia, among others.

The U.S. is the largest importer of Bangladesh’s garment products, while the European Union has a strong trade and development partnership.

Critics accuse Hasina's administration of corruption and failure to uphold human rights.

Fakhrul, the top Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader in the absence of convicted chief Khaleda Zia and her exiled son Tarique Rahman, led the sit-in protest in front of the party office in Dhaka.[...]

Several other opposition parties raised similar demands in separate demonstrations across the capital. Ruling Awami League held some counter demonstrations in Dhaka in support of the Hasina government.[...]

The political showdown came at a time when two foreign delegations, from the European Union and the United States, respectively, were in Bangladesh to hold talks with different stakeholders over various issues, including a free and fair general election, democracy, and human rights. The Asian country is scheduled to hold general elections later this year or in early 2024.

Wednesday’s rally is the biggest opposition rally since December when the BNP defied police obstacles, attacks, and arrests to hold a public rally in the capital.[...] The BNP has been holding protests since August against rising commodity prices and demanding the unconditional release of Zia and the formation of an interim government for polls.[...]

The Awami League and the BNP have ruled Bangladesh since 1991, except for a brief quasi-military rule in 2007-08.
