Bangladesh:Gunfight at BDR headquarters

[leonblack08]

All patriotic Bangladeshis must oversee that the opportunity of serving in UNPKF by our Army personnel never be closed----by irresponsible propaganda by BAL and its members who appear to harm Army's interest wherever they.

Not only UNKPF provide our Army the scope for earning high commendation on professional performance but also provide the scope for earning substantial additional foreign currency---both for personnel and the country.

I would appreciate MBI Munshi if he could write an article for local Bengali newspaper on this issue. Otherwise, great harm may happen infuriating the Army further.

Or is it what Faruk and his BAL are seeking to happen ?

Also I would like to add that we also get many military equipments to buy for those mission from UN money.Example is the army APCs.This is out of our defence budget so a bonus for us.

And our soldiers get combat experience,although in limited amount in those conflict areas.

Dhaka-Delhi maritime talks Tuesday

Dhaka, March 16 (bdnews24.com)—Bangladesh and India will resume crucial maritime border talks in New Delhi on Tuesday after a pause of six months.

A six-member delegation from Dhaka, headed by additional foreign secretary MAK Mahmood, left for the Indian capital on Monday for the two-day meeting, foreign secretary Md Touhid Hossain told bdnews24.com.

"This is a technical committee meeting," he said.

"And we should not expect any result right away," said Hossain. "The meetings will continue."

The last meeting of the technical teams took place on Sept 15 last year after a gap of three decades.

Bangladesh, India and Myanmar have yet to fully explore oil-gas options in the Bay as the three countries have long-standing disputes over their sea boundaries.

Of Bangladesh 's total 28 exploration blocks in the Bay, India claims ownership of nine and Myanmar 11.

The two neighbours made counter-claims in such ways that entry of vessels to Bangladesh's Chittagong and Mongla ports would be blocked, say foreign ministry sources.

Dhaka and New Delhi last year agreed to hold talks on sea boundary demarcation as India will have to submit its sea boundary map to the UN by June this year.

If Delhi submits its sea boundary map without resolving disputes by June, Bangladesh will be entitled to lodge a protest.

Dhaka also started maritime talks with Myanmar last year.

Myanmar has already submitted the map of its sea boundary to the UN without resolving disputes with Bangladesh.

Bangladesh protested to the UN, according to foreign ministry sources.

According to the UN treaties, Bangladesh will have to demarcate its maritime boundary by July 2011.
At the last meeting in Dhaka, Bangladesh and India failed to agree on how the mid-point of Hariabhanga River should be measured, which would be the starting point for border demarcation.

Bangladesh proposed at the meeting that the middle point should be determined from the western side of the Hariabhanga.

But India wanted that it should start from the eastern side.

But they agreed to continue the dialogue.
The technical committees will try to reach consensus on demarcation details before recommending a final agreement.

According to UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on Laws of Sea) 1982, Bangladesh's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) should extend up to 200 nautical miles, with a further 150 nautical miles of extended continental shelf falling within its maritime boundary.

The arms haul in Chittagong several years ago and the BDR mutiny are entirely unrelated in that there is no evidence that ULFA or any other North East group was part of this conspiracy.

The same way there is no proof yet to link India to it too, other than some hate journalsim.

If you like joining dots then join these dots.

• NE terror groups have bases in B'desh.
• AL/Sh are co-operative to India
• SH will take action against NE terror camps using BD.
• A lot of brilliant BD officers were killed in the mutiny.
• BD unhappy with SH/AL for not giving them a free hand to quell the mutiny.
• AL/SH wont be able to get support from the amry to take action against NE terror camps.
• NE terror camps gain and continue to operate from BD border areas.

None of this adds up so no question of connecting the dots.

The two issues must not be confused otherwise the true culprits of the mutiny will never be identified or the wrong people will be accused.

You can not be more correct.

Absolutely so.

So much water has already passed thorugh the Ganges/Padma between the time of these two occurances, it would not be prudent nor required to connect these dots.

Comments before BDR probe report 'premature': Shafiq
Mon, Mar 16th, 2009 6:35 pm BdST


Dhaka, Mar 16 (bdnews24.com) - Law minister Shafiq Ahmed said Monday comments on who were involved in the BDR mutiny before a full-scale probe report was available would be premature.

"The government is investigating whether any extremist organisation is operating under the banner of the religious political parties," the minister told reporters.

"It will not be proper to accuse anybody until a full investigation report is available. On conclusion of the investigation, the names of persons involved will be made public," he said.

Earlier on the same day, commerce minister Faruq Khan, tasked with coordinating the various mutiny probes, commented that some people with links to the BDR mutiny "in order to save themselves" were trying to cover up those who were directly involved in the killings.

Last week, Faruq, a former army officer, said evidence had been found linking the banned Islamist outfit Jama'atul Mujahedin Bangladesh to the Feb 25-26 massacre at the BDR headquarters.

Pressed by reporters on Monday to give more details, Faruq had said: "It won't be right to disclose anything now. The investigation is ongoing."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------It is good that, after 72 hours, BAL realized what sinister mistake they had been doing in a bid perhaps to cover any inconvenient truth. Later is still better Never.

Which two occurances are you referrign to ?

I noted mention of two occurrences in your posting:

Mention 1: … to link India to it.... This ‘it’ I assumed to be the ARMS HAUL CASE
Mention 2: You assumed….. wont be able to get support from the army…as a secondary result of the MUTINY.

Two occurrences I referred to are:

Occurrence 1: ARMS HAUL CASE
Occurrence 2: BDR MUTINY

Thanks Bull, excellent post. we can add the following here too

SH maintains good relations with India, BD army maintained good relationship with India, both these parties lost out in the incident, as a consequence - India.
Revenge against army is also a motivation for Banglabhai supporters and Jamat E Islami for banishing their hon leader.
W/o army's support war criminals of Jamat E Islami can not be tried, the support is thin now.

JMB alone did not commit Pilkhana carnage: Faruk

Many others were involved in the Pilkhana carnage apart from the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), chief coordinator of the probe committee Faruk Khan said today.

A vested quarter is trying to help the criminals involved in the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) bloodsheds held on February 25-26 in its headquarters, he told reporters at his secretariat.

The investigation committee is finding a lot of evidences in this connection, Faruk, also the commerce minister, said.

The committee is collecting information about them, Faruk added.

The minister assured the innocent BDR members, still on hide fearing the consequences, saying that no harm will be inflicted to them who are not associated with the killing.

In the BDR mutiny, 74 people were killed including 52 army officers.
