This has been the worst and most unpopular military-backed junta in Bangladesh’s history. This allegation and many other corruption charges to surface once this fascist clique is disposed should be thoroughly investigated.

If found guilty they should be severely punished since they staged this coup with full EU-UN-NGOs-US backing under the false pretext of corruption cleansing.

Today, the country is under emergency ruled and dictated by draconian unconstitutional ordinances with gross violation of human rights. Corruption has also skyrocketed.

You might remember that my post on the Bankgate story says precisely this: that the regime and its supporters will use this to taint their critics with being “indian agents”. Fugstar in his own inimitable way started it already by saying that someone or the other was “celebrating” it. The people “celebrating” this sad piece of news are not friends of Bangladesh, that much I will admit. However, I’m yet to find much evidence of celebration. I will look into my comments section soon.

What I find surprising is the complete silence from fugstar and CTG-supporters in general as to why it took the freaking Statesman to be the first one to publish this story! Why not one of our own newspapers? What were they afraid of? I think we all know the answer to that. Sadly fugstar deals with how the publication reflects on the bloggers who broke the news, rather than on the media that refused to and the government that choked it. And it is this distorted focus on the faults of the powerless that I cannot understand at times.

Sorry for making adda the battleground. Hereonin, fugstar and my conversation is at an end from my side.

There is one comment on your post, though i dont know what day it was made on. If i had a different sensibility i would start an epetition about it or something. The click was that I could vividly visualise the ideologically anti-CTG (the CNGs) yelling a score line over this. The sense of proportion is what really gets me. very line 60 through to 90.

The party tone does not come from you, that is elswhere. Therefore you are not the center of interpretation. apologies for making you feel that way.

Jyoti,
The particular tradition of hardwired logic is what i see firmly imprinted in parts of ‘real life’/activist practice, not specifically in blogs or over the general. The emphasis on wind up and escalation and then righteous indignation at losses incurred troubles me . It’s like having a cake, eating a cake and not being interested in paying for the costs of the cake after said consumtion.

Please come up with a few links soon or admit you were wrong. Silence beyond Friday will be taken as a sign of the latter.

I really hope you furnish me with the links I asked for. I like nothing better than criticising Bangladeshis whose sense of nationhood is always caught up in pan-national schemes…. oops, have I said too much?:)
