The government issued a circular Monday ordering the easing a ban on indoor politics all across the country.
Before the vocal world of savy Bangladeshis succumb to the irresistable urge to congratulate their beloved entity, let me remind all of the strings those are attached to this mock gesture towards democracy.
- There will be no meetings in open places.
- The political parties have to inform the police about any meeting, 48 hours ahead of its start.
- But the electronic media will not be allowed to broadcast the meetings live.
- Political parties will not be able to use loudspeakers for the meetings.
- The meetings will take decisions only on organisational activities and elections. No other discussions are allowed, according to the circular.
- The government has limited the venues for meetings to houses, community centres, hotels, restaurants and party offices.

প্রধান উপদেষ্টার ‘ঘরোয়া রাজনীতি’ থেকে নিষেধাজ্ঞা তুলে নেয়ার ঘোষণায় খুব সুখী হওয়া গেল না।
ব্যাপারটা অনেকটা এরকম হল-
“তোমার ঘরের তালা খুলে দেয়া হল, কিন্তু তুমি বাড়ির বাইরে যেতে পারবে না।”
তো কি লাভ হ্ল? যেই লাউ সে-ই কদু।

A generic speach of no values from a puppet.

Satanic people like MUA, Kamal, MV moves quick in grabbing power in very first opportunity they gets. They eat away a working functional system till it breaks and stinks. People eventually pick up the stinks and in time crores of people aligns their common sense without having ‘brain washed’ from any one. Then comes, allocating time and resource, away from their daily busy routine to be in needed actions. Minds have already aligned. It will move towards actions in future. A natural course repeated in history for many other times.
For livings, it would be no less of a pleasure to see these satanic people to get their dues paid back.

From day 1, I simply felt these busters are not here to fix problems & issues, but to execute their ‘desires’ generated from a convoluted half brained Neanderthal visions. If they wanted to nullify HS and KZ, they could have showed a superior system execution, without resorting forces to anyone of political parties and without putting any one to jail. PEOPLE are the ultimate judges and THEY were capable of putting PAKISTAN, ERSHAD away. Satisfying vengeances or forcefully clearing path to execute ‘desire’ is a PERSONAL issue, not A NATIONAL ISSUE. Criminal laws are only meant to be used for CRIMINAL cases, not for political JUSTICE. Crossing between these two doesn’t do well to any one ever.

What about this news ?

PDP of Qureshi will ’show down’ in Dhaka on 23rd June. At least 10000 people will be attending.
I guess there won’t be any problem in getting the permission from police and admin.

The newspaper says the date of the council has been postponed for hall complications. I don’t understand which hall-owner has such guts to create complications amid Ferdous Qureshi’s efforts. All of authorities should be taken to black holes. Or at least DUDOK should be summoned to make a tax-dodging/forgery charges against those hall-authority people for creating nuisance in the way of the patriotic party backed by this patriotic govt.

Deal had not reached with KZ & HS. MUA & his gangs have no other way out. By the way his gang includes Hafiz, MV, Amu, Kamal and many others. Confrontation is inevitable. Using new party and run a ‘fare’ election and passing bills in ‘parliament’ is the way they are hopping would save them. Haven’t we seen this before? While running a mock criminal system and putting people in jail, their own fate has been decided. Example of Ershad is what they are thinking. People of Bangladesh will be different this time. Just wait & see.

I was desperately trying to decypher some positives from fakruddin’s address that night on tv but skepticism took the front seat when the news about lifting restriction on indoor politics took one tenth of the time for the newscaster than it took her to read the limitations related to it. I wonder if the same approach will be taken for the upcoming election in december which may read like - yes there will be election but…

I’m surprised no one has linked here to the New Age story that is on top today:

The police have surrounded BNP offices.
Further bad news:
http://www.thedailystar.net/story.php?nid=36495
“A part or faction of a political party from now on cannot formally do indoor politics like a fully-fledged party as the caretaker government on Monday cancelled its earlier notification that had given factions full party status.”
Rumi bhai’s complaints are not just valid, he has understated the lack of a level-playing field. It’s pretty clear which party is a “faction” at the moment and which is not.
This is starting to approach “Cancel My Last Announcement” proportions.

MV in jail now means he has the last chance to break BNP and he better do it quick.

IMHO the blue print of the indoor politics was designed by INDO-ZIO-NAZY Dalals of current power echelon in the series of their creative conspiracies just to throw hope as well as keep us guessing while destroying Muslimhoods of our lives. And none but Messiah FARHAD MAZHAR repeatedly called for uprising–

We also need to be wise to look at how these policies are getting imported by submissive foreign officials–
