This is how ex BNP leader, currently a founding member of Moeen U’s party, Le Ge Ma Ra ( Lt Gen Mahbubur Rahman) was given jutapeta ( Shoe treatment) by BNP grass roots today.
UPDATE: Here is E-Bangladesh topless Photo and story of Le Ge Ma Ra.
The following interesting thing happened today at Zia’s mausoleum:
1. CTG totally shunned 7th November. ( This is not a problem if they did not believe in 7th Nov.). But the problem is in the fact that, those who are running the government are all believers of 7th November change. But they are trying to wear a facade of center-left to be able to use Awami league to reach their goal.
2. BNP ( Moeen U fraction) leaders Saifur and Hafiz along with a dozen leaders visited Zia mausoleum under heavy RAB/police escort and left the scene ASAP. Still Le Ge Ma Ra got a good shoe beating on his way out. After telecasting this beting scene once, most channels blacked it out in their 7 PM news.
3. When the real BNP came with RA Gani and Hannan Shah, the police swiftly changed their job description. From protections of leaders, they resorted to crowd control when thousands of activists followed these leaders inside the mausoleum

[…] Here’s Rumi’s blog’s on THIS. […]

Rumi bhai, firstly I hope that the activist in the picture has the sense to go into hding very, very quickly, because they’re definitely looking for him right now. Also, I can’t help but contrast this to AL’s handling of the similar events in front of their party office. They quickly took steps to ensure these things did not spread, and kept their flock together. Mahbubur Rahman got BNP nomination after just four years of being in BNP and a standing committee membership in less than ten years. Either the person who gave him all these favors was wrong or the activist who abused him today is wrong. Either way, BNP as a party can not afford many more mistakes like these.

tacit, neither of the two you mentioned were wrong. If anyone is wrong here, this is Le Ge Mahbubur Rahman. The anger at him today was for his betrayal to the trust and respect BNP once garlanded him with. This is the man who was promoted Le Ge and made army chief by Abdur Rahman Biswas and Khaleda made him political leader. And bypassing many leaders who she thought woud betray her, Khaleda Zia elevated him to standing committe just few days before her arrest. Khaleda Zia wanted to trust an apparently honest general. And look how he pays off all the trust, respect shown to him.

It was a welcome developement and good to see someone broke the ice. Now all new Mir Jafor, Umi Chad, Roy Durlab and Jagat Shet could be treated similarly without the psychological bariers of fear, scare and smear. knowing Khaleda Madam fasting at jail and isolated Tariq crying for company; pure hearted should rejoice and prepare himself to go for more Juta Petas to all other traitorous gang members.

Tacit,
it is unfortunate but to borrow a phrase from our friend it is perhaps the “doctrine of necessity”. 🙂

One of my old grandpa used to say, “what is alloted can’t be blotted. if you have some punishment or humilation tattoed insde or inscribed on your forehead you have to get it. If nobody comes up with your dues for your misdeed, you would finally search for and make a call, I see I have Juta/lathi/Jaru pita for me but why are you guys delaying and don’t mete out what I owe to you.”
Abul, Soifur, Mahbub, Hafeez, Khoka so on by this time earned their dues to be meted out for their extreme greed and trecharies. I believe, Mr. Soifur, once a model of mine, and hero of Sylhet by the grace of Zia and Khaleda, can’t even dare to go there without protection of police. How shameful development are these!
TYA.

Reply to Rumi:
So you think to promote an officer superseeding other qualified ones by K. Zia shows her honest activities? If K. Zia was minimum honest at all (I doubt!) she should not try to abuse army chief position by selecting a worse person. Actually K. Zia is such a greedy lady who always try to grab power and run the country and she could not resist her greed even when she was at the end of her term which now paying off to her and all her followers!

I Do NOT think superseeding one to promote other to vital positions ( Despite all successive governments, starting from 1972 till this 2007 1/11 government in BD did it)like Army Chief or Chief Justice is a honest thing to do. If you do not know or pretend to know, FYI, several months ago, two new judges were appointed at appeallate division unilaterally by law ministry.

I thought Mahbub Rahman was the senior most general after Nasim was fired for his aborted coup. If I recall correctly, President Biswas wanted to appoint a freedom fighter to the post. Two candidates were Matin (current advisor) and Subid Ali Bhuiyan – both of whom stayed loyal to President Biswas. But appointing either would mean superseding Mahbub. Khaleda had nothing to do with appointing Mahbub to the army chief post as the country was already under a care taker government.

You are right. That is what happened.

GMUA and his deputies are not seen in the scene in the recent days. What happened to them? So also with the CEC and his twin commissioners. Deactivated president prof. Iajuddin has come back to the country.
We don’t know why there is such excess of exotic movement while keeping the country in a vacuum. BTW, Fakruddin is over here but his presence has never been felt after his assuption of the post.
GMUA is officially but employee in the ministry of defence, with official status less than a secretary but in real world he is ALL IN ONE, he is very much shy to recognize that, though.
But I observe, he has been failing being Harvard graduate and I’m afraid every one around him with non-Kurdi or Kurdi may dessert him sometime if the course go down hill in the same fashion. Probably, then finding nobody around him he might one day say, ” Aami Kaar General Re!
Thank.

So when any body goes against your will he becomes a traitor or betrayer even he is a freedom fighter. That is why they fight. Why a greedy lady is your icon? We need reform. We do not want Khaleda or Hasina any more.
Pls leave thinking Khaleda or Hasina and think for people. Go out and see their poverty. Try to help them.
