BNP threatens non-stop hartal

[InFn-0]

No offense bro but can you elaborate why it is Farz? You do know that as human beings we do not have the authority to declare anything Farz or Haram unless it relates directly to the holy scripture right? I would like to see a quote from the Quran regarding this issue.

Isn't your duty as Muslim to establish Deen?

Constitution is the highest law of the land and present constitution declare that Allah is the supreme being. All state activities must not go against the ways of Allah. You can read Bismillah thousand time but it will not have any implication unless you have 100% faith in almighty Allah. This called Eman. Eman less Muslim is munafiq. BNP and it's allies call this Hartal to preserve the fundamental prince of our constitution.

Tell me. If Awami planing to wipe out the fundamental principles(same as denying the existence of Allah. Nauzubillah)from constitution then isn't it Farz for mumin like your self to protest against enemy of Islam. I am asking you. What is your duty to preserve the Islam in Bangladesh?

8. Fundamental principles.
(1) The principles of absolute trust and faith in the Almighty Allah, nationalism, democracy
and socialism meaning economic and social justice, together with the principles derived
from them as set out in this Part, shall constitute the fundamental principles of state policy.
(1A). Absolute trust and faith in the Almighty Allah shall be the basis of all actions.
(2) The principles set out in this Part shall be fundamental to the governance of Bangladesh,
shall be applied by the State in the making of laws, shall be a guide to the interpretation of
the Constitution and of the other laws of Bangladesh, and shall form the basis of the work of
the State and of its citizens, but shall not be judicially enforceable.

Last third of 36-hr hartal continues
Mon, Jun 13th, 2011 11:08 am

Dhaka, June 13 (bdnews24.com)—The 36-hour non-stop countrywide shutdown of opposition BNP and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has entered the second day.

The first 24 hours of the hartal, being enforced from 6am on Sunday to challenge the government move to annul the caretaker government system, passed off with mobile courts handing down punishment to around 80 opposition activists only in the capital.

Police also arrested former home minister Altaf Hossain Chowdhury and former water resources minister Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, also vice-presidents of the main opposition party, in the city.

BNP, however, claims that over 700 of its supporters were arrested since the lockdown was declared on Friday, also to protest the recommendations of the special parliamentary committee on constitution amendment.

In the last third of the general strike that ends at 6pm on Monday, no inter-district buses left terminals in the capital, but train and flight operations, according to the authorities, were as usual.

Movement of motorised vehicles, including bus, auto-rickshaw and tempo, was relatively higher than Sunday, the first day of the hartal.

Most of the shops and business establishments remained closed.

Activities in all types of offices continued amid thin presence.

No significant picketing, other than pro-hartal processions at a few places, was seen in the capital as huge contingent of police and several mobile courts remained deployed.

BNP slammed the government for the mobile court operations.

Rights body Ain O Shalish Kendra also expressed concern over their operations, but home minister Shahara Khatun defended it, saying the mobile courts' operations were in line with legal provisions.

Like on Sunday, BNP leaders and activists, including acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, gathered in front of the party's Naya Paltan head office, but they could not bring out any procession as police kept the office besieged.

Two buses were set ablaze on Sunday night, raising the number of vehicles consigned to flames in the capital since Saturday to 13.

Eleven vehicles, including nine buses, were set ablaze on the eve of the lockdown.

What you have given is extremely useful.

IMHO, online polls are never really that reliable.

It appears that the majority of the people in Bangladesh are fed up to the gills.

I think that a caretaker govt is always the best to ensure a free and fair election.

What is the objection, apart from not being able to be in a position to influence the election organisation and rigging?

The official reason is that it is "unconstitutional". Considering the official reason is b/s there are only two other possible reasons.

* They are scared of another 1/11.
* They have realized they have no chance of winning a free and fair election, therefore want to win it by rigging

 

[Tiki Tam Tam]

What's the latest?

Govt cornered?

What is the loss to the economy so far?

Any solution reached?

A free and fair election is the last thing awami league wants. Instead of holding an election, they might as well handover the regime to BNP. I once read somewhere that the best thing about democracy is that it can always correct itself, and this mistake will be corrected in the next election. The rise of anti awami league consensus is highly alarming. i won't be surprised if awami league leaders are attacked in the next regime, but I hope enough is done to ensure their safety.

When AL came to power they thought this was their golden opportunity to destroy BNP, and to be honest BNP's situation was that bad, infact the worst in its history. AL tried their best, but their plan backfired. And after what they did to senior BNP and Jamaat leaders, AL knows very well whats coming for them if BNP wins the next election. The best outcome AL can go hope for is simply giving power to BNP without any hassle and in return make sure their senior party leaders do not get whopped when BNP comes. However, considering the mentality of AL, you can be pretty sure they ll never give in so easily; so you know the math, whatever goes around comes around.

Lastly i would like to add that now anti-AL does not necessarily mean pro-BNP, there is a large and fast growing majority who realize neither AL nor BNP is upto the task, and want to see some educated people run the country. The more BNP and AL engage themselves in conflict, they are making the way for a third party easier.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said only the elected representatives of the people will decide under what mechanism and whose authority the next parliamentary election will be held.

“We, the people's representatives, will do what we need to do for continuation of democracy. That's why I request the opposition party to place its formula in parliament,” Hasina said yesterday.

She made the remark at a meeting with the executive committee of Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) led by its president Mostaq Hossain at the Prime Minister's Office.

Drawing the attention of opposition leader Khaleda Zia, the prime minister said: “Please do not bring in a crocodile by digging a canal.”

Mentioning the arrest of Khaleda during the last caretaker government, Hasina said when crocodiles get hungry, they do not pick and choose who to spare and who to eat.

Hasina said BNP can place a bill to the Jatiya Sangsad on revising the system of caretaker government.....

The Supreme Court in May declared the caretaker system illegal, but observed two more parliamentary polls can be held under the system for “safety of the state and its people”.

BNP, the main opposition, maintains it will not participate in the election if it is not held under a non-partisan caretaker government.

But Sheikh Hasina said when the caretaker government system was introduced, the political parties agreed that three elections would be held under the system.

“Three elections have already been held under caretaker governments. And time and again the nation has got bitter experiences from the caretaker governments,” she said.

She added that unelected people are given state power through the system and once in power, the people in caretaker government change their mindset.

“The last caretaker government had planned to stay in power for ever, as if a government is a permanent settlement. But in the face of strong national and international pressure, it was compelled to hold parliamentary polls.”

MPs to fix next terms

What would be the reaction?
