  • Jamaat’s admitting genocide in Bangladesh, and correction!

    Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has removed the December 16, 2012 statement it posted on its English website where it admitted: “The Jamaat-e-Islami and some Islamist political parties actively collaborated with the Pakistani forces, raising paramilitary and auxiliary forces such as Razakar, Al-Badr, Al-Shams which took part in genocide.” Ragib Hassan‘s tweet revealed this matter. His twitter account…

  • #ALJAZEERA: We’re in #SHAHBAGH to HANG WAR CRIMINALS

    First of all, you Aljazeera and other prominent media either have been mum when the PROTEST began while some tried to downplay it by publishing any piece on it “neutrally” (giving minimum info and highlighting the claims by the WAR CRIMINALS). Well! We know the corporate world decisions aren’t emotion-driven, are taken to ensure money…

  • শাহবাগের শ্লোগানঃ গনজাগরনের মূলমন্ত্র

    গত চৌদ্দদিনে অনেক শ্লোগান শোনা যাচ্ছে শাহবাগের গনজাগরন মঞ্চে–যা আসলে রাজনৈতিক দলের জনসভার উঁচু মঞ্চের মতো নয়। শাহবাগের মোড়ে রাস্তার উপর বসে-দাঁড়িয়ে অবরোধ। গোল হয়ে বসে-একাত্ম হয়ে আন্দোলন চলছে মোড় থেকে চারুকলা আর আজিজ সুপার মার্কেট পর্যন্ত; রাস্তায় প্রতিদিন হাজার হাজার মানুষ এসে মিলিত হচ্ছে প্রানের উৎসবে। শ্লোগানে-মিছিলে-গানে সবার একটাই দাবি ১৯৭১ সালে যুদ্ধাপরাধের জন্য, মুক্তিযোদ্ধা ও…

  • #SHAHBAGH PROTEST enters 15th day with the spirit of ’71!

    Despite fear spread about Jamaat-Shibir atrocities & propaganda and inclement weather in Dhaka, protesters were desperate to keep OCCUPYING SHAHBAGH for the 14th night and going to welcome a foggy-winter morning, for the second consecutive day. And they’re chanting slogans relentlessly. The namaz-e-janaza of Tariqul Islam Shanto will be held at 11am at DU Central Mosque. Some…

  • জামায়াতপ্রশ্নে আওয়ামী লীগকে বিশ্বাস করেনা অনেকেই

    কারনটা আওয়ামী লীগ নিজেই, এখানে অন্য কারো কোন প্রোপাগান্ডা নেই। একসময় ক্ষমতার লোভে মেরেছে কুড়াল নিজের পায়ে, আর এখন সুযোগ পেয়েও লক্ষ্মীকে ঠেলছে দূরে। কিভাবে হবে অর্জন জনগনের বিশ্বাস, যদি তার প্রতি না থাকে সম্মান? শংকায় কাটে বছর-দিন, ন্যাড়া কি আবার যায় বেলতলায় আর জামায়াত-শিবির নাচে তা-ধিন-ধিন!  

  • জামায়াত-শিবির কেন শান্তির ইসলাম মানে না?

    এককথায় প্রশ্নটার উত্তর হলোঃ অন্যায়কারী কখনো ন্যায়বিচার প্রতিষ্ঠা করতে পারেনা। জামায়াত-শিবিরকে নিষিদ্ধ করার দাবীতে গতরাতে একটা পোস্ট করেছিলাম আমার WORDPRESS ব্লগে। পোস্টের শিরোনাম ছিল “মাননীয় প্রধানমন্ত্রী, এখনই সুযোগ!” গোটা-বিশেক ছাগুর মন্তব্য পড়ে এখন জবাব দিচ্ছি। সহমতও জানিয়েছেন কয়েকজন। একদিনেই ১০,০০০ বারের বেশি দেখা হয়েছে ব্লগপোস্টটি! এরা যেসব মন্তব্য করেছে সেগুলো কোন ঈমানদার মুসলমান বলতে পারে…

  • #SHAHBAGH: 12th night passes without #RAZIB, long way to go!

    This WORDPRESS blog has been opened by someone who isn’t the person named “thabababa” (Ahmed Razib Haider Shobhon). This blogger was hacked to death on Friday night in Mirpur, Dhaka near his house allegedly by fanatic Muslims belonging to Jamaat-e-Islami’s student wing, Islami Chhatra Shibir.

  • #SHABAGH passes 10th day with million protestors

    The bill to amend the ICT Act has been submitted in parliament by the standing committee on law ministry after a scrutiny. It might be passed into law on Sunday, even though the govt could do it today. The EC sat today to decide on the cancellation of registration of radical Islamic party Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islam but it…

  • #OCCUPY #SHAHBAGH continues as Jamaat still violent

    They just can’t stand the mass uprising in Shahbagh and elsewhere in the country, an usual consequence, because it’s nothing but going against their party — Jamaat-Shibir! And it has happened several times this month that the Jamaat-Shibir launched premeditated attacks on police and general people to compel the government to stop the ongoing war…

  • Seventh night ends in #SHAHBAGH with frustration, violence follows

    The main opposition BNP shamelessly termed the SHAHBAGH protest a stage-managed event of the govt. The Jamaat-ally also asked the protestors to raise the other significant issues too. It was the last incident of the 7th night to put the protestors into fury. Until 2am Tuesday, people joined the gathering with enthusiasm and at 6am,…

  • Memorable SIXTH DAY of #OCCUPY #SHAHBAGH

    The day started with a good news: though late, the govt has decided to AMMEND the International Crimes Tribunal Act 1973 to ensure EQUAL RIGHTS for the victim and defendant in appealing against a verdict.

  • The rise of ‘#Occupy #Shahbagh’

    I was forwarded an SMS by one friend around 3:30pm about the protest at Shahbagh and I rushed after taking leave from my office! On the way I saw very few vehicles on the street, but many rickshaws as usual, due to the shutdown called by Jamaat against the tribunal and its verdicts. Well, people…

  • Jamaat-Shibir-BNP alliance wants civil war

    It now seems inevitable that the opposition lords won’t stop until the trial of the identified war criminals is scrapped and the JAMAAT-BNP leaders released. The Jamaat-Shibir has been fighting on the issue against the state for the last one year, and recently the BNP led by KHALEDA ZIA has joined them on the streets…

  • Jamaat-Shibir to face the music for violence to stop war crimes trial

    It’s good to see the Dhaka police chief declaring war against Shibir cadres who launched massive sudden-attacks on police personnel and cars, public and private transport, and shops in the capital and in over 20 towns Monday morning. The attackers were mostly crazy youths belonging to Jamaat’s student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir and were assisted…

  • The ‘best’ election formula

    :> The next general elections can never be held under a non-party interim government, we (the EC) are efficient to ensure a fair one — under my leadership. Some of you from the opposition may be included in the interim govt. Don’ worry dear rival! Trust me dear, it’d be better than those army-baked apolitical…

  • SayedeeLeaks!

    Since long, I’ve been waiting for evidence on Sayedee’s fraudulent activities regarding Islam. This war crimes suspect is currently under trail at the International Crimes Tribunal for his involvement in crimes against humanity in Pirojpur during the Liberation War of 1971. Now I’ve started to get many information regarding Sayedee, thanks to the online campaigners…

  • Justice for ‘killers’!

    The international community has recently turned their eyes into Bangladesh’s holding the trial of top leaders of controversial Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami and two BNP leaders for their well-known involvement in genocide, rape, arson and looting in 1971 during the war against Pakistan occupation army. Thus, it can be observed that the war was not literally…

  • Boycott Jamaati products-services

    Dear friends, we are here to raise awareness against the businesses owned by razakars under the umbrella of Jamaat-e-Islami and other allies in politics. We believe that these anti-Bangladeshi elements must be cornered in every sphere and eliminated in phases. Alongside the war crimes trial, we the people should also do something effective. We demand…

  • We want justice for 1971 genocide

    The term justice means a lot to me. It refers to punishment for an offence committed. On the 41st anniversary of Victory against Pakistani forces, we can’t feel complacence today since the collaborators or dalals – commonly identified as razakars – are not eliminated, rather are in key positions in the country’s politics, business and…

  • ছাত্ররাজনীতিতে পাশবিকতা নয়, সন্ত্রাসবিরোধী ঐক্য চাই; মডেল জাহাংগীরনগর

    সাম্প্রতিক সময়ে ক্যাম্পাসে খুনীদের আনাগোনা বেড়ে গেছে, এরা আবার ছাত্রলীগের ছত্রছায়ায় ও প্রক্টরের মদদে বহাল তবিয়তে আছে। জুবায়ের হত্যা মামলায় পুলিশ ও প্রশাসনের ঢিলেমি, শিক্ষক নিয়োগ আর নানাক্ষেত্রে অনিয়মের বাড়াবাড়ি চলছে। এই অবস্থায় আশা করি জাহাঙ্গীরনগরের বর্তমান শিক্ষার্থীরা আলোচনার মাধ্যমে একটা দীর্ঘমেয়াদী কর্মসূচি নির্ধারন করবে। কেননা বর্তমান রাজনীতি + রাষ্ট্র + সমাজব্যবস্থা দেখে মনে হচ্ছে…
