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!
