- Time flies!
Isn’t God’s judgment a farce?
- Moniruzzaman Akash
The Awami League is suffering the consequences of the actions of some of its leaders!
To protect themselves from the clutches of conspirators, ordinary voters and even activists and leaders are victims of torture and oppression.
Many innocent ordinary citizens, ordinary voters, are only paying the price for the crime of voting during the Awami League government.
I see people rolling their eyes today!
Even that day, they were in favor of harmony!
In favor of living together.
Today they have become the owners of the thunderous voice of the eternal rain. The world is very small in terms of time and demands.
When a person dies in this world, it is appropriate to have a funeral or a final farewell.
Similarly, behaving badly towards a deceased person or attempting to damage the deceased’s tomb is a criminal offense!
The reality in the current context of Bangladesh is that a distorted mentality has been created to destroy humanity. A class of individuals are always ready to provide resources to create mob violence by engaging in the process of fulfilling that distorted mentality!
After today, tomorrow will come, then the day after tomorrow…
It must be remembered that the harmonious and cordial relations between people have been destroyed in the past year.
Although relationships have been broken many times before, they have never been so deeply broken as this time!
Although the harmony among the people of the country has been quite sweet in various local elections, the Awami League leadership and local officials may not have been able to maintain that continuity in the national elections.
Talking about the Awami League’s rule, the absolute majority in the December 29, 2008 national elections was a major achievement. I think it is not clear how the political decision-making of the Awami League with its political partners was. In the 10th national elections of 2014, 153 MPs won unopposed, questioning the political philosophy of the Awami League!
Most of the MPs had already sown the seeds of a heroism in their respective constituencies at that time. Some MPs, by grouping themselves among the leaders and workers of their own party, became self-proclaimed kings in their respective constituencies.
The common innocent workers, the common voters of the Awami League, are having to pay the ultimate price for this.
The 11th and 12th parliamentary elections were only a name change to maintain the continuity of democracy. There was also non-cooperation in the Awami League’s policy-making forum.
That is why people who flew in from outside the party and joined the party in various local elections have quickly become public representatives after receiving nominations.
The top leaders of the Awami League have brought about the party’s disaster through internal strife.
During the July Movement and the July Revolution, many ordinary workers who sacrificed their lives regretfully said that a handful of leaders are responsible for the government’s current troubles.
Anyway, let’s get back to the original point, the name of the country Bangladesh is a country that was achieved through the political philosophy of a great man, the sacrifice of his life and youth, the hard work and sacrifice, and the boundless courage of thousands of soldiers, including the four caliphs of that great man.
On the day that great man was killed by his own family, can’t ordinary people, the public, and citizens go out to pay their respects to him?
Such a decision by the government is easily tantamount to abrogating freedom of speech, abrogating freedom of speech or stifling voices.
We must remember that Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib is not just a name, but a country, a history!
People can be silenced by scolding, but the human mind cannot be controlled.
Time is passing by, the world is very small, time can change its decisions at a rapid pace.
Time is not static, it does not stand still!
Time may change the path it is taking today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Can anyone guarantee that the method being applied today will not be applied tomorrow?
Whatever happens today will come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow as nature’s revenge. Maybe that day too, it will be like this again.
I have to write from the sting of conscience, responsibility, and duty…!
