    ‘Bill to ban Jamaat on way’

    If Bangladesh bans the Jamat then the following will take place. 1. The Pakistani branch of the party will feel partially amputated and will feel demoralize and will realize that if it happens in Bangladesh it can happen in Pakistan. 2. The intelligentsia in Pakistan will definitely at least...

    Blogger Thaba Baba Murdered

    So people can rejoice in the murder of a Bangladeshi citizen? They can (like Al-Zakir and his "wajib ul qatal" comments) advocate the murder and killing of Bangladeshi citizens, however the problem is with those who disagree with them? @nuclearpak @WebMaster Please take note kalu_miah has...

    ‘Bill to ban Jamaat on way’

    Pakistan experienced Zia-isation in the 80s. Then in the 90s it had the PPP and Nawaz, until 1999. There was no major problem from radicalism though the Sipah i Sahaba terrorists were active and the Taliban were supported by some elements. In the 2000s after Musharraf's takeover the economy...

    ‘Bill to ban Jamaat on way’

    If anyone doesn't fully understand what Redbull is saying. He is referring to the fact that Maudoodi (the founder of Jamat) opposed the creation of Pakistan and apparently called it "Kafiristan" or something. @somebozo can perhaps expand on that. By the way Mujib despite all his faults...

    Economist: Huge anti-war criminas protest in Dhaka

    BNP Discards Jamaat

    I made a mistake whilst typing quickly. No they didn't have 25% of the votes but had far more support (double their current vote share) in the past and yes they always were fringe players and may be heading towards being banned permanently or just complete political irrelevance. If the BNP...

    Economist: Huge anti-war criminas protest in Dhaka

    1. Those people you mentioned above and their ilk who I call part of the 4.6% club (Jamat got 4.6% of the votes in the last election) do not represent the vast majority of Bangladeshis and yes they are very abusive, labelling anyone who disagrees with them as "Awami thug" (even if like me they...

    Economist: Huge anti-war criminas protest in Dhaka

    Bangladesh is an independent sovereign country. Bangladesh will decide what to do with citizens inside its own country and that is an internal matter for the People's Republic of Bangladesh. This does not in anyway affect Pakistan, so Pakistani authorities have no right to interfere in this...

    India urged to import BD goods thru' new routes

    Thanks for the explanation. It is refreshing to have a higher level of discourse on this sub-forum than the usual *you know what* from the usual *you know who* gang. I have no problem in terms of trading with India. The technical issues surrounding transit are not something I'm fully...

    India urged to import BD goods thru' new routes

    1. Regional trade is a win-win for everybody. Bangladesh makes money and prospers, India also makes money and prospers and has a more stable north-east flank with a more developed Bangladesh with a higher HDI less susceptible to radicals and extremists. If we just fight and bicker as *certain...

    BNP Discards Jamaat

    I don't support any party and they are all corrupt. I am saying the BNP are better than the Awami League anyway. Tariq Zia's corruption is well-known, even a friend of mine who is pro-Jamat told me his relatives personally knew of his corruption. Anyway the topic is not about Tariq Zia but...

    BNP Discards Jamaat

    In the long run the Jamatis will continue on their downward trend until they become even more of an irrelevance than they are now. They were around 25% of the votes a few decades back and are now 4.6% and are probably just going to go down even more with: - Bangladeshi nationalists against...

    Andaleeb is charismatic, however I am in no way endorsing him or attacking him, he merely represents a newer generation of Bangladeshi politicians. At this current juncture Yunus has no particular interest in getting involved politically.

    No he won't become ruler of our country, nor will Yunus or Mozena. I can't go in to too much detail because some of what I know is confidential, but on a public level I can say he represents a wider generational change in Bangladeshi politics. Bangladeshi society is changing and will continue...
