I was speaking for myself/and other Muslims since 90% of Bangladeshis are Muslims anyway but you conviniently forgot to mention my 5th paragraph.arnab wrote:You do know that there are more than one religion in Bangladesh. this is in regard to your 4th chapter line, which is very narrow minded

India carrying out anti-Bangladesh campaign
Roundtable told
Staff Correspondent
A section civil society activists yesterday blamed India for an anti-Bangladesh campaign and suggested the neighbouring country's link to the August 17 countrywide bombing.
They blasted Indian High Commissioner in Bangladesh Veena Sikri's comment that those who want to establish Islam in Bangladesh carried out the bomb attack, terming it a violation of diplomatic norms.
Asking the government to call an emergency parliament session to discuss the bomb blast issue, they said Bangladesh media is 'creating panic in the name of bomb blast coverage'.
"Our prime concern is India's anti-Bangladesh propaganda. We'll have to tell them that we'll stop co-operation if they don't stop the campaign," journalist Sadek Khan said at a roundtable discussion at the Jatiya Press Club yesterday.
India cannot accept Bangladesh's independent existence and is now running a campaign saying Bangladesh is threat for them, he said, adding the country wants to see unrest in Bangladesh as in Nepal and Sri Lanka.
Jatiya Nagorik Forum organised the discussion on 'August 17 Bombing: Our National Security'.
Former chief election commissioner (CEC) Justice Abdur Rouf demanded making public the probe reports of previous bomb attacks. "If the government doesn't do so, we'll take it for granted that it has been bribed and we'll go for legal action," he said.
Demanding a standing committee on security, he said, "We want to know what action the government has taken against the home ministry and law enforcers for their failure."
"If I were there (in power), I would have suspended them and set a tribunal for their trial."
He also asked the government to take the matter to the Indian government if Veena Sikri's comment is a violation of diplomatic norms.
The former CEC suggested making military training compulsory for every institution, even, if necessary, for all youths.
Saying it is impossible for Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) to carry out such a countrywide attack, Dr Tareq Shamsur Rahman, a professor of International Relations at Jahangirnagar University, said there is big power behind them.
"We'll have to know why Abdur Rahman (JMB chief) visits India often," he said. "Those who are writing about Talebanism and fundamentalism in Bangladesh hail from India."
Blasting Veena Sikri for her comment, Tareq said: "I see a connection of this statement with those who are behind the August 17 attack."
Terming the Indian High Commissioner's comment as contrary to political decency, Chief Editor of the national news agency Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha Gaziul Hassan Khan said all the bombs came from India and the people involved in the bombing fled to the same country.
He said all illegal firearms come from the same country, adding: "We'll have to see how India and the US is behaving with us and blaming us."
Bashing Veena Sikri, poet Al Mujahidi said: "How could she be so audacious as to interfere in Bangladesh's internal matters?" He called for unity among Islamist parties.
Former Vice Chancellor of Rajshahi University Prof Eusuf Ali, meantime, mentioned that Justice Abdur Rouf was assigned earlier to unite all Islamic parties.
Security expert Brigadier Gen (retd) M Shakhawat Hossain said, "Some power of the state has gone to some people; the August 17 bombing is a manifestation of this."
"Before blaming any foreign power, find our own fault," he suggested, recommending formation of a national security committee in parliament, appointing a non-political person to co-ordinate intelligence reports and brief the prime minister.
Professor Mahbubullah of Dhaka University said problems of national security began during the country's birth. "Tajuddin and other leaders led the Liberation War sitting in India. We'll have to see how independently they could work then."
"Some so-called intellectuals, newspapers and foreign writers are trying to portray Bangladesh as a failed state and I think it is a clear conspiracy to turn the country into a failed state," he said.
Editor of Daily Sangram Abul Asad said, "Who are behind the birth of JMB, JMJB (Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh)? Some people instigated some humble men to form the organisaions to establish Islamic rule, assuring them of funds. The JMJB, JMJB men could not understand RAW (Research and Analysis Wing, India's intelligence agency) was behind them."
While conducting the discussion, Babul Ahmed, general secretary of Jasas, ruling BNP's cultural wing, said the US is financing some madrasas in Bangladesh to prove its claim of al-Qaeda and Taleban presence in Bangladesh.
Blaming media for portraying a negative image, he said: "The so-called Bangalees who eat in Bangladesh and splutter in India have captured most newspapers and the electronic media."

BDR DG sticks to his words
02 October 2005
New Age BD, Dhaka
The Bangladesh Rifles director general, Major General Jahangir Alam Choudhury, on his return to Dhaka on Saturday iterated that the Indian criminals were involved in the August 17 countrywide series of blasts.
He first made the remarks to the press in New Delhi after the border talks on Friday and India protested against the director general’s remark terming it a ‘baseless and scurrilous allegation.’
On his return to Dhaka he told reporters at Zia International Airport that he would stand by his remark as he had proof of the involvement of Indian criminals.
‘The arrest of Indian citizen, Gias Uddin, in Satkhira was not only reported in the media, but was also included in the joint records of discussion signed by the chiefs of the border forces of India and Bangladesh,’ he told reporters, adding that no Indian officials denied or protested against it at the meeting. ‘Rather the BSF chief acknowledge the arrest of Indian citizen,’ Jahangir claimed. About Indian protest, the BDR chief said officials of the Indian external affairs ministry, home ministry and other officials were present when he (Jahangir) raised the issue, but no one protested against it.
Some Indian newspapers might have twisted his remarks, but the Indian officials did not protest against the matter when he placed it during the talks.
‘The BSF chief acknowledged the involvement of the Indian citizen, Gias Uddin, arrested in Shatkhira in possession of 20 kilograms of explosive as reported by the Bangladeshi media,’ Jahangir said. At the meeting, both sides agreed on cooperating each other in defusing tension along the border through taking effective steps, holding flag meetings and combating all sorts of cross-border criminal activities.
Unprovoked firing by the Border Security Force and Indian citizen, and the killing and injuring of innocent Bangladeshis, security issues, including giving shelter to Bangladeshi criminals in India, push-in bid of Bangla-speaking Indian citizens by the Indian border force, combating smuggling of arms, drugs and other illicit goods, border fencing, construction of roads and other illegal structures within 150 metres of international border by Indians, violating Bangladesh airspace by Indian choppers and anti-Bangladesh propaganda by the Indian border force and Indian media came up for discussion, said a BDR release.
Jahangir ruled out the existence of any camp of north-eastern insurgents inside the Bangladesh territory. He said Bangladesh would never allow any such camp or hostile activities against the friendly India.
