Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was in London that day. She
inaugurated a roadshow in Bangladesh to increase foreign investment. She
addressed a gathering of expatriate Bengalis and businessmen in the United
Kingdom. The Prime Minister said, "Bangladesh has a wonderful
investment-friendly environment." When the Prime Minister took this
wonderful initiative to take the country forward, a different thing happened in
Bangladesh. Suddenly the price of diesel and kerosene was increased. It was
said that this was done to increase the price of fuel in the international
market. Good thing. So, why was the price not increased before the Prime
Minister's visit to the UK? Or if the Prime Minister returned to the country to
increase the price would have been such a problem? I asked this question
because I have doubts about whether this incident is a coincidence or sabotage.
When the Prime Minister is doing a roadshow to increase investment in
Bangladesh, at that time Bangladesh was useless! Public transport closed.
Chittagong port closed. Stopped transport of goods. Launch off. Encouraged by
the Prime Minister's speech, those who will go to Bangladesh, what message will
they get immediately? They will know, you can strike anytime you want here.
Goods are stuck at Chittagong port. According to BPC, the price hike could have
been done even after six months. So why this rush? Why the price increase
proposal was not sent to the Energy Regulatory Commission? Why price increase
without a public hearing? Why during the Prime Minister's visit abroad? Is it to
thwart her call?
In the wake of the diesel and kerosene price hike in the
absence of the Prime Minister, it seems to me that a strong section within the
government is working against the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is working
hard to take Bangladesh forward. Her enemies also admit this. Under the
leadership of Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh has reached a unique height. It was on
this day that the Prime Minister was considered as one of the most inspiring
and influential leaders in the world at the climate conference COP-26. Sheikh
Hasina's contribution is that Bangladesh is now free from hunger and poverty.
But looks as if a quarter is working to destroy the
dreams and the achievement of Sheikh Hasina. And that group is not another
political party, it is visible within the government itself. Sheikh Hasina's
political philosophy and development strategy are very clear and transparent. She
cherished and cherished the ideals of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu. She
wants to realize Bangabandhu's dreams. This is her politics. Bangabandhu's
dream is also very simple and straightforward. Putting a smile on the face of a
sad person is the lifelong dream of the father of the nation. For this, he has
spent years in prison. Endured oppression, torture. The main point of
Bangabandhu's politics was that people cannot be harmed. All his life he was on
the side of the people. So is Sheikh Hasina. The main theme of her politics is
the welfare of the people and the power of the people. The price of diesel and
kerosene from a part of the government was a crushing blow. This is unfair to
people. Those who did it are a syndicate. The influential people of the
government have open and secret connections with this syndicate.
These are the actual opponents of Bangabandhu and Sheikh
Hasina. What happened with the increase in diesel prices in Bangladesh is
terrible. First, the Minister of State for Energy informed about the price
increase in the international market. Then what an important minister said is
like a flash in the pan. According to him, diesel is smuggled to India as the
price of diesel is low in our country. So our border guards failed? Are law enforcement agencies unable to prevent trafficking? The government's job is to
stop trafficking. Increasing the price of diesel for anti-trafficking is like
selling jewellery for fear of thieves. Only our ministers can make such
irresponsible remarks. Will the minister say tomorrow - don't drive because of
accidents on the road? What kind of argument will be given after a few days -
the street is snatched so do not leave the house? The incident does not end
here, the fact that the diesel price hike is a conspiracy with Sheikh Hasina
became clear in the aftermath. With the announcement of the price hikes, various
owners' associations including transport owners, covered van owners, etc. went
on strike simultaneously. Ministers are impassive! The people were taken, hostage. We all know who the leaders of these owners' associations are. These
owners' associations are government-blessed organizations. These owners'
associations are government-blessed organizations. When the party is in power,
these associations work in obedience to that party. An Awami League presidium
member and MP is the godfather of the transport sector. At his behest, the
owners and workers will do anything. That is, a part of the government took the
people hostage. Friday, November 5, date of 17 admission and recruitment
examinations simultaneously across the country. Public transport is closed. And
the job of some ministers is just to talk. Their words are so harsh and
annoying that even the Awami League workers nowadays do not pay attention to
their words. So, they kept saying things that doesn’t have any weight. The
leaders of the owners know all these things, so they smiled and kept on
doing what they had to do and at last, their demand was accepted as usual. Whose
representative is the government? People or owners? There are some essentials
that cause chain reactions in the market when prices go up. As a result of the
increase in the price of diesel, the fare of public transport increased. That
wave hit the raw market. It is as if a Harilut game is going on with the price
of goods. Prices of rice from vegetables, onions and green chillies are rising
uncontrollably. There is no one to watch the market. The increase in the price
of diesel made the fire worse. Since the time of Corona, middle class and low-income people have been in suffering the most. Is this activity to create
public discontent by increasing the price of diesel at this time? Why are the
owners being given the opportunity to take people, hostage? Awami League is in
power for three consecutive terms. Political opponents are always told that the
government is strong.
The government has huge public support. The power of the
government is visible outside. But why is a government in the third term with
such a huge majority so helpless to some syndicates? Not only the increase in
diesel price, but in recent times we have noticed that it has become a habit of
the Awami League and a section of the government to do the opposite of what the
Prime Minister has said and instructed. They seem to be the main opponents of
Sheikh Hasina. Let's talk about communal violence. What happened at the Durga Puja
festival is unacceptable. The Prime Minister always spoke of communal harmony,
saying that no other Prime Minister has done what Sheikh Hasina has done for
the minorities in Bangladesh. But the administration of the government is
desperate to tarnish this achievement of Sheikh Hasina. Every year during the
Durga Puja, security is maintained at three levels in the puja mandap. Why did
not they keep it this year? After the incident in Comilla, the government woke
up too late, why? Why is the administration so indifferent and aloof everywhere? What did the
intelligence agencies do? The father of the nation has nurtured non-communal
consciousness throughout his life. Sheikh Hasina did the same. But how many
ministers, bureaucrats and administration of government have this
consciousness? The administration is now full of idiots. Because of this,
communal power is rising. Is what the foreign minister has said about communal
violence consistent with the Awami League's ideology? In 50 years under the leadership
of this Foreign Minister, Bangladesh has got a new friend. His name is
Pakistan. An influential section of the government seems to be desperate for a
romance with Pakistan. Pakistan does not owe money. There is no monitoring of
Pakistan's conspiracy in Bangladesh. The old love for Pakistan seems to have
overflowed. Opponents of Sheikh Hasina are those inside the government who are
desperate to improve relations with Pakistan.
Shameless flattering competition is going on in Bangladesh
now. There is not a title that has not been given to her. In her praise, the
ministers and bureaucrats frowned. But in reality, they work contrary to her
principles and ideals. Sheikh Hasina has said that people cannot be harmed. The
only job of a part of the government is to hurt the people in any way. There
are many examples of this during the Covid-19 period. Bizarre decisions like
whether garments will run, public transport will stop or half the cars will run
- are just to hurt the people. Sheikh Hasina said, corruption cannot be done.
In reality, there is a silent competition for corruption. 17 files of the
Ministry of Health have disappeared. It is the responsibility of the
bureaucrats to protect the files, but it is a drama to show the people by
dragging the peon-doormen. It has been three months since Sheikh Hasina
demanded an account of the assets of government officials and employees. To
cover it up, bureaucrats are now paying more attention to flattery. Many people
try to say at different times that whatever Sheikh Hasina wants happens. That's
not right. A part of the government and the administration are working against
Sheikh Hasina's many aspirations. If the administration had understood Sheikh
Hasina's aspirations, it would not have increased the price of diesel in this
way, the puja mandap would not have been attacked in this way. Thus, the theft
of files would not have been covered up. The only strength of Sheikh Hasina is
the people. Opponents fear Sheikh Hasina's popularity. A section within the
government is now conspiring to question Sheikh Hasina. There is a conspiracy
going on to ruin his popularity. That is why it is spread in the market -
nothing happens without the decision of Sheikh Hasina. Do the ministers take
bribes on Sheikh Hasina’s decision? Did Sheikh Hasina tell the bureaucrats to build
houses in Begampara? A devastating game is going on silently behind the
curtain. In this game, the close relatives of Sheikh Hasina are being removed.
Those who are honest, competent, contain the spirit of the liberation war are
being hidden in the administration. Not only the government, but a part of the Awami League also seems to be running in the opposite direction of Sheikh Hasina. In
the last five years, even though she is not the president of Awami League, she
has given instructions 50 times to stop infiltration in Awami League. But are the
party leaders following the instructions? Sheikh Hasina has said that rebel
candidates cannot be given. After this statement, the ministers and MPs are
giving rebel candidates with double enthusiasm. Awami League's opponents in the
Union Parishad elections are now Awami League rebels. They are fighting.
Killing. The Awami League does not need an enemy outside. The main enemy of
Awami League is now Awami League. Sheikh Hasina said, politics is not about
enjoying, it’s about giving. She does what she says. She has been leading the
team for 40 years. Has been the Prime Minister for about 17 years. She did not
have any stigma on her. Even her worst enemy cannot question Sheikh Hasina's
honesty. But even the ward leaders of Sheikh Hasina's Awami League have
uncountable wealth. Are those who have built a mountain of illegal assets in
the Awami League in the last 13 years’ followers of Sheikh Hasina? Awami League
leaders scolded the BNP like a broken record. He also slandered that BNP is
conspiring. Some Awami League leaders are trying to hide their misdeeds by
showing war with BNP. These are the opponents of Sheikh Hasina.
Occasionally scenes from before '75 come to mind. The
murderous Mushtaqs were siding with the party and the government by showing the
Jasad as the front opponent. Attempts were made to create public discontent
against the Bangabandhu government through artificial famine, fire in jute
warehouses and terrorist activities. By doing all this, the outstanding
contribution of the father of the nation in post-war Bangladesh was hidden from
public view. People were not allowed to understand how Bangabandhu was building
the country from scratch. Jasad was fielded as an opponent of the Awami League.
There was a lot of chaos. And in such a situation the mass murder on August 15,
1975, was executed. Tajuddin Ahmad fell from the centre of power. The
conspirators surrounded Bangabandhu. In the party and in the government. Are we
facing the same situation? Large scale development works like Padma Bridge,
Metro Rail, Karnafuli Tunnel are going on in Bangladesh. The people of this
country will get the benefits of all this. Bangladesh will change. Before that,
a situation is being created in the country where the construction of the Padma
Bridge is killing people's emotions but the people are angry over the increase
in the price of onion. People are worried about the increase in the price of
diesel rather than the benefits of Metrorail. Is the evil power lurking in the
administration conspiring to pay homage to the Prime Minister?
There is only one reason for my concern. Bangladesh's
development progress and Sheikh Hasina are now synonymous. Without Sheikh
Hasina, the future of this Bangladesh is full of uncertainty. So who is the
real opponent of Sheikh Hasina, it has to be identified now. Because the enemy
of the house is more terrible than the enemy outside!
