What a stupidity!

by Anisur Rahman

A Bangladesh citizen was shot dead by Indian Border Security Force along Daulatpur border early on January 12, 2010.

What a stupidity, it is! This unaccepted crime was committed when Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina on a three-day official visit to Delhi. On the same day she was given the Indira Gandhi Award. What a double standard today India is showing!

Both the sides are stressing the strengthening bilateral ties. Does it really mean any thing? Bilateral congenial ties between two countries is not only a matter as politicians and elements in bureaucracy will have meeting, seating, chatting and snapping with smiling poses and throwing bunch of lies. It means the security of life of respective citizens and showing due respect to them by elements in forces and authorities concerned.

I hope Indian side will be refrained from killing Bangladesh citizens. I have no word to condemn such killing. I can simply say it is more than stupidity!


The other stupidity it is, and takes place in Bangladesh, my lovely mother land on the same day. A citizen was killed in a 'shootout' between his cohorts and Rapid Action Battalion in Dhaka. The deceased was identified as Firoz alias Kosai Firoz, 30, of Kafrul area in Mirpur.

What an audacity it is indeed! The nonsense beast force RAB is continuing killing people one by one despite ministers are assuring the nation as there will be no such killing any more. Senior minister Syed Ashraful Islam has repeatedly made such assurance. Ruling party Awami League leader Mohammad Nasim condemned such killing and demanded immediate stop of such offences during a party meeting last week at prime minister’s official residence Jamuna. What is the outcome? Who cares whom? Is there any government functional in Bangladesh? Who is more powerful, either the government or the stupid force RAB? It is confusing really.

It is immediate urgency to dissolve the stupid force RAB for minimum respect to democratic values. Punishment is a must to RAB elements who responsible for killings and other crimes. Otherwise, it will be a simple lie top say as democracy is functioning in Bangladesh. No more stupidity! No more lying! No more killing! No beast, no RAB!
