Bangabandhu Remembered- Junaidul Haque

/in , , , /by

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, portraitAs a child in the early sixties I first heard of Bangabandhu from my father. He spoke affectionately of a gentleman named Sheikh Mujib, who gave fiery speeches in the Paltan Maidan against Pakistani military dictator Ayub Khan and his henchman Monem Khan, the governor of East Pakistan. He was brave as well as witty and was fond of East Bengal (East Pakistan) and her people to a fault. Fighting for the rights of his deprived people was the greatest passion of his life. Often he went to jail. But my father was not sure if Sheikh Shaheb would be finally successful and come to power one day to establish democratic rule in Pakistan and serve its suffering people, especially those of East Pakistan. Needless to mention I instantly began to like Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, simply because no one else championed the Bengali cause like him. I started to follow his activities through newspapers. Along with Brazilian football, West Indian cricket and sub-continental hockey, a child of the sixties began to admire Sheikh Mujib. Slowly but surely he became my favourite politician. By March 1971 Bangladesh and Sheikh Mujib became synonyms.

The Bengalis of East Pakistan accepted the famous six-point program of the Awami League from the core of their heart. The program was announced in 1966 and claimed political autonomy for the provinces. The disparity between East and West Pakistan should be removed and the economy of the eastern province needed to be specially looked after. As a fifth grader I just understood that the six points wanted to address the suffering of the people of East Bengal very seriously. Even at that age we clearly felt that the West Pakistanis looked down upon us. Slowly and surely Sheikh Mujib grew in stature. The Pakistani military regime was frightened of him too. They committed the great mistake from their point of view – of taking him into custody for the so-called Agartala conspiracy case. The Pakistani rulers’ calculation was wrong. They thought that their sycophants were the majority. The true picture was different. The Bengalis didn’t fail to recognize their greatest nationalist leader and supported him whole-heartedly. To them Sheikh Mujib was not a traitor who wanted to break up Pakistan. Rather he was the true patriot fighting for the rights of his people. The students and the common people took the 1969 movement for democracy to great heights and it achieved full success. The Pakistani rulers had to release Sheikh Mujib from jail. Ayub Khan had to leave handing over power to the army chief Yahya Khan, who was quick to promise early elections. The chief judge of the so-called Agartala conspiracy case fled through the back door of his court room. He couldn’t even put his shoes on when thousands attacked the building housing his court.

Bangabandhu’s Awami League won 167 out of 169 seats of the East Pakistan assembly. This made him the leader of the biggest party in the whole of Pakistan. The election was conducted by the military regime of Yahya Khan and was absolutely fair. The rulers simply couldn’t judge properly the popularity of Bangabandhu. Yahya Khan rightfully called him the future Prime minister of Pakistan. But Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, who won 80 plus seats in West Pakistan, conspired with Yahya and his generals to start the post-election unfair game. They put thorns on Sheikh Mujib’s path. The West Pakistanis were in power for 24 years since Pakistan’s birth. How could they give up power so easily? So, they very wrongfully decided to dishonour the clear popular verdict given to the charismatic Bangabandhu by his people. Yahya Khan cancelled the national assembly session he had called earlier.

Yahya Khan and his aides came to Dhaka for a dialogue with Bangabandhu and Awami League. Apparently they carried on the talks seriously. The whole nation waited eagerly for a positive outcome. But Yahya, advised by Bhutto, decided not to finish the talks and be treacherous. He and his government went for a military crackdown on the night of March 25, 1971. Thousands of innocent civilians were killed in one night. Bangabandhu ordered for a total war of independence, hints of which he has given in his historic speech of March 07 at the Suhrawardy Udyan. He himself courted arrest to save Dhaka from total destruction but directed his close aides to form a government and carry on our war of independence to final success. He knew that he had united the whole nation and freedom from Pakistani rule was not far away.

We fought our noble war of liberation in the name of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Bangladesh’s women prayed for his release from jail and our people fought heroically for independence. The government-in-exile of Syed Nazrul Islam, Tajuddin Ahmed, Mansur Ali, Qamruzzaman and others guided the nation in its crisis with wisdom, sincerity and sacrifice. The governments of India and Soviet Union were our great friends in 1971. We Bengalis proved to the whole world that we were a heroic nation and the leader who turned us into a confident and united nation was none else than Bangabandhu himself. Our losses were great but we were a free nation. Our future generations would not be colonial citizens any more.

As a ruler Bangabandhu had to build the war-ravaged country from zero. That was not an easy task. The most powerful nation in the world was against our independence and their government was yet to forgive Bangabandhu. They had planted men in politics, journalism, the civil service and the armed forces. So they successfully created a distance between Bangabandhu and some of his most trusted men. There were impediments here and there. Despite his best efforts, our great leader had failure as well as success. But he certainly didn’t deserve death for that. That was a period when great nationalist leaders were not allowed to survive. Bangabandhu, Allende and the likes had to embrace martyrdom and make way for military rulers, who served as yes-men to the mightiest nation. When we think of Bangabandhu’s tragic death, we are engulfed with unbearable sorrow.

How do we remember Bangabandhu now? What is he to me? To our 150 million people? He is our best politician ever born. He is the selfless leader who fought his whole life for an independent country for his Bangalee brothers and sisters. He achieved his goal although he had to leave tragically after a few years like quite a few third-world nationalist leaders. His people love and respect him beyond description. He loved them to a fault and they love him in return. They have recently voted his elder daughter to power once again, this time with a huge mandate. As long as the Padma and the Meghna will be there, Bangabandhu will be fondly remembered by his people.

Bangabandhu’s Strategic Declaration of Independence

/in , , /by

Bangabandhu1508201215 August the national mourning day we remember with great honour and respect Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Raman who is the greatest Bengali ever born in Bengal in thousands years or in recorded history. He is the father and founder of Bangladesh. Almighty Allah especially created him with the grace, beauties, and qualities of a leader for the oppressed Bengali race. He was a gift from Almighty Allah for the Bengali race. Bold, dynamic and correct leadership was needed at the crucial time of our highest national crisis. He guided the Bengali nation in the right direction.

The treacherous postponement of National Assembly on 03 March 1971 by the military oligarchy created flame of anger among the desperate Bengalis. It was apprehended that Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman would outline his future course of actions at a mass rally on 07 March 1971 at Ramna Race course and might declare independence of Bangladesh. In anticipation of 07 March 1971 address by Bangabandhu, President Yahya addressed the nation on 06 March in an attempt to warn Sheikh Mujibur Raman about the consequences of unilateral declaration of independence. Yahya in his speech warned that he would use his absolute authority as head of armed forces and head of state to ensure complete and absolute integrity of Pakistan without any doubt or mistake.

On 07 March 1971 at Ramna Race course national flag of Bangladesh was hoisted on the very stage in violation of the constitution of Pakistan symbolizing separate national entity- Bangladesh. It was a clear cut defiance of the authority of the Government of Pakistan. The race course gave the look of sea of human beings- a million people. It was a thunder of applause on the arrival of Bangabandhu. It was a great moment in the history of the people of Bengal. The fate of Bengal would be decided on that day. It was the bravery and leadership of Bangabandhu that would decide the destiny of the nation. Bangabandhu proved himself as the bravest son of Bengal in its recorded history. On earth nobody could match the personality of Bangabandhu. Bangabandhu with his giant political personality on the rostrum thundered his historic speech with the roar of a lion. He set forth his pre-conditions before the seating of the national assembly. In his eighteen minutes speech he spoke about the exploitation of the resources of Bengal and the sufferings undergone by Bengalis during the twenty three years of rule by Pakistanis. He spelled out the courses of actions to be undertaken in the face of enemy’s treacherous behavior. He called upon Bengalis to turn every house into a fortress against the enemy’s onslaught and directed to use whatever weapons they had. This time the enemy would not go unchallenged. They would be starved to death. They would be killed throwing them into the water. They would be killed and destroyed in all possible ways. Thus Bangabandhu boosted the morale of Bengalis. At the end Bangabandhu declared, “The fight, this time, is for freedom! The struggle, this time, is for independence!” No doubt, this was strategic declaration of independence.

Bangabandhu’s voice of 07 March 1971 was not the ordinary one; it was, as if, the Divine voice. If the Bengali nation is the name of a dream, of a hope, of a struggle and of success, then Sheikh Mujib is the architect of it. Bangabandhu established cultural and political dream of Bengalis by the establishment of Bangladesh. Bengali nationalism was a force that was propelled by Bangabandhu and he utilized it to throw the colonial force from the soil of Bangladesh. Yahya Junta could not visualize the strength of Bengali nationalism. Bangabandhu gave the complete war plan in his 07 March speech to materialize the dream of independence. Final declaration of independence message was sent by Bangabandhu to all DCs through telegram on the night of 25 March 1971. The then DC of Chittagong Mir Musfizur Rahman is the living witness to that telegram.

We remember and pray for the departed soul of the greatest son of Bengal Bangabandhu along with his family members who sacrificed their lives by cowards’ enemies and agents of Pakistan on the fateful night of 15 August 1975. May Allah keep Bangabandhu’s soul in eternal peace.

As we remember Bangabandhu

/in , , /by

Let us build on his legacy

image_94_18405Remembering Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is fundamentally a recalling of some of the most glorious moments in the history of Bangladesh. For it was under his leadership and on his watch that we waged a long, tortuous struggle for democratic rights and national liberty. It was through his inspiration that this nation emerged into freedom and took its place on the global stage. In Bangabandhu was personified the most articulate spokesperson of Bengali aspirations, the most visible and vibrant face this nation could present to the world.

As we observe National Mourning Day, we remember with profound distress the calamity which befell us on this day in 1975 when a sinister alliance of conspiracy and darkness put an end to the lives of the Father of the Nation and nearly his entire family. If the attainment of liberty under Bangabandhu’s leadership was our finest moment, his assassination and all that followed in the immediate aftermath of it were our darkest hour. Bangabandhu’s murder was to set off a chain of tragedy — of coups, counter-coups, murder and intrigue — which was to keep this nation shackled to instability and uncertainty for years. It was not until measures were initiated against his murderers, not until the wheel of justice began to turn slowly and yet surely, that we rested easy.

This morning, it must be for us to recall the spirited, long struggle Bangabandhu waged in our name and try understanding the nature of that struggle in our interest and in the interest of generations to come. Bangabandhu’s ideal was the shaping of Shonar Bangla, Golden Bengal, where his people would weave a rainbow pattern of dreams to live by. His faith in his people never wavered, as our conviction in the strength of his leadership was never shaken. He envisaged smiles on the faces of his countrymen; he envisioned a society where collectively we could put the forces of exploitation to flight and reclaim our country for ourselves.
Our best tribute to Bangabandhu will be to recall his dream of a democratic, secular and economically viable Bangladesh and translate it into reality. That is how we can uphold his legacy, for all time.

Remembering a giant

The most significant memory I have of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, is of course that of his March 7 speech. We as students of Dhaka University, as the rest of the students and the people of the country, were following his every directive during the non co-operation movement, triggered by Gen Yahya’s decision to postpone the convening of the parliament on March 1, 1971, in which Sheikh Mujib had a clear majority which entitled him to become the prime minister of undivided Pakistan. As his thunderous voice rose above the slogan chanting multitude, a silence descended as anticipation rose to fever pitch that he would make that seminal declaration that would set us formally on our independence road. The millions who gathered on that day were far too emotional to fully grasp the challenge that Bangabandhu faced. For, only he would know the implication of what the agitated public wanted him to do.

Rising to the challenge, Bangabandhu delivered that day, what I consider to be one of the great political speeches ever. There was this massive audience whose enthusiasm he could not dampen. However, there was also that vicious military killing machine that waited in the military barracks to attack the moment he would utter anything that they could use to justify such an attack.
Thus he made a magnificent balance between saying everything about our wishes for freedom and independence without giving any cause to the enemy to attack. I was the general secretary of Mohsin Hall back then. I remember returning to the hall with a few fellow residents that evening, having gotten the full message of what the leader wanted, and marvelling at the fact that he did it in such an audacious and yet clever manner. Throughout my days as a freedom fighter, in mukti bahini camps and later during my military training, Bangabandhu’s speech would resonate in my ears, inspiring me, encouraging me, emboldening me, and filling up my heart with the dream of living in an independent country.

The other significant memory I have of Bangabandhu is of the August 15, 1975 when he was so brutally murdered along with all members of his immediate family, save Sheikh Hasina and her younger sibling, Sheikh Rehana. I remember vividly hearing over the radio in the early hours of the fateful day, “Ami Major Dalim Bolchi. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’ke hottya kora hoyechey…” (“This is Major Dalim speaking, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has been killed…”).

Oh, what arrogance, what viciousness, what a vile act. I kept on asking myself, did these people understand what they had done? A giant felled by some petty, depraved souls. There have been political murders in history but few have been as brutal, senseless and blood thirsty — killing the whole family including a child and two newly wedded wives of Sheikh Kamal and Sheikh Jamal, the two sons of Bangabandhu.

If the murder of Bangabandhu is our biggest shame, what followed in the name of politics is no less. For the next 21 years under Gen Ziaur Rahman, Gen HM Ershad, and during the first term of the democratically elected government of Khaleda Zia — Bangabandhu’s self professed killers were never brought to justice. Why? What did they owe to these murderers? To our eternal shame, Gen Zia perhaps made us the only country in the world that protected murderers through an amendment in the constitution.

We have crossed much of that shameful episode. Today when we observe the National Mourning Day, we must remember never to go back to the dark period of political murders, illegal capture of power, rule by the military or military backed government. We must also resolve never to be ruled by any government other than elected, and never to embrace any political system other than democracy.

We must however also be conscious about what factors strengthen democracy, and conversely what weakens it. Corruption, partisanship, nepotism, politicization of organs of the government, misgovernance, and lack of accountability and transparency in the use of power — weaken democracy. There cannot be any question that we have plenty of all the above in the present day Bangladesh. This is not the occasion to discuss these in details.

Let our mourning for Bangabandhu turn into a resolve to build the Sonar Bangla of his dreams.

IMMORTAL BANGABANDHU

/in , , , , /by

“This may be my last message, from today Bangladesh is independent.

I call upon the people of Bangladesh, wherever you might be and whatever you have, to resist the army of occupation to the last. Your fight must go on until the last soldier of the Pakistan occupation army is expelled from the soil of Bangladesh and final victory is achieved.”
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
26 March 1971
The people of Bangladesh have proved to the world at large that they are a heroic nation, they know how to achieve their right and live like human beings.

We have achieve our independence. So long a Bangali lives, he will not allow this independence to be lost. Bangladesh will continue to exist as an independent country in history. There is no power on earth which can keep Bangladesh under subjugation.
Bangabandhu
Those who cannot maintain law and order cannot expect to be a great nation.

Independence is not achieved with the hoisting of the flag only. Ensuring the security of people’s lives and property is also an inseparable part on independence.

It is only through agriculture revolution that the country would become self-reliant in food. The farmers must see to it that not an inch of the country’s soil remains fallow and that the yield of the land is increased.
Bangabandhu
I have waged the independence movement of Bangladesh along with seven and a half crore people. So I appeal to the people to put an end to the activities of antisocial and disruptive elements.

My dear brothers of armed forces, you belong to the people and people belong to you. You do not form a separate entity. All of you are sons of the soil. This is why you will have to share the happiness and sorrow of the masses and stand beside them in rebuilding the devastated country. Allah is with you.

Our defence-preparedness is not meant to attack anyone. It is for self defense only. We are not willing to interfere into other’s internal affairs. Similarly, we shall not tolerate other’s interference into our internal affairs.
Bangabandhu

The heartless beasts, army personnel killed the architect of BANGLADESH.
The martyrs who gifted the independence of the country will never die. The souls of the martyrs will be contended only when the people of this independent country, established through the sacrifice of the martyrs, will get enough to eat and live a dignified life.

Depending on borrowed resources no nation can ever expect to become self-reliant and great.

I have made appeals to the world for help. I want help. But not at the cost of independence.

Armed forces alone cannot defend a country. It’s people who defend a country.

It is clear today that only democracy will work in future in this country.
Bangabandhu

The Army Personnel has killed :

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
Begum Fazilatun Nesa

Sheikh Kamal
Sultana Kamal

Sheikh Jamal

Sheikh Fazlul Huq Moni (nephew) Begum Arju Moni (Moni’s wife)

Nephew of Serniabad SI Siddiqur Rahman
Nayeem Khan Rintu 4 caretakers
3 guests 5 in neighboring Mohammedpur area killed by artillery shells (Shahabuddin, Amiruddin,Nasima, Rijia and Rasheda)
Killers of Mujib and his family
The Murder of young Sheikh Russell
Unlike the assassins of Alende of Chili, who only killed Alende but spared his family members and relatives, the assassins of Sheikh Mujib killed 31 people besides Sheikh Mujib. They killed his pregnant daughter-in-laws and did not even spare his 8 year old son, Sheikh Russell. So far we knew that the artillery soldiers shot the Sheikh Mujib family as instructed by their officers. But Dr Wajed Myan’s account on the murder of Sheikh Russell shows that the artillery officers were personally involved in the massacre: “………………Russell ran down to take shelter among the people put already in line at gun point for execution. Abdur Rahman Roma, who looked after Russell for years, was holding his hand. A little later one of the soldiers took Russell from Roma to send him out of the house. Russell, frightened to death, burst into tears and begged for life: “For God’s sake please don’t kill me. I’ll be forever your servant if you let me live. My Hasu apa (sister Sheikh Haisna) and brother-in-law live in Germany. I beg you, please send me to Hasu apa and my brother-in-law in Germany.” Moved by Russell’s tears, the said soldier hid Russell in the sentry box at the main gate of the house. Half an hour later, a major seeing Russell hiding there, took him upstairs and killed Russell in cold blood by shooting on his head with his revolver.”
