Yesterday and today, I was reading different newspapers, where vivid picture of tourture was described duing remand of teachers and students. Well, we have been reading such stories of torture during last months. I would like to make an appeal to all four teachers (Professors Sadrul Amin, Anwar Hossain, Harun-or-Rashid and Neem Chandra Bhowmik) to start a campign to stop “Remand” once and for all. If they take initiative, we would expect thousands of teachers from all our universities should come forward and sign that appeal. Taking prisoners to remand and torture them is an uncivilized way to treat accused. We should stop this gross violation of Human Rights. I also appeal to all our human rights activist to come forward and make an issue to “Stop Remand”. God Bless Bangladesh.

What a joke! Who says that our judiciary is free? Is it free from the dictats of the DGFI? Is this the freedom of the judiciary that the CTG announced with so much fanfare? Does the freedom of our judiciary mean the too many public appearances of our honorable Chief Justice in front of the cameras, does it mean his big talks at public gatherings, does it mean his frequent trips abroad or does the freedom of our judiciary mean verdicts being decided by the rulers and delivered by our honorable “free” judges? I am confused!

The derailed train has been put on track, claims the general. Who derailed the train? If one cares to analyze the political history of Bangladesh, one will notice that since the mid 1970s, it is the army — the force of brute and coercive power — that has intervened into the constitutional system and national institutions one after another, in one way or another, systematically undermining them. And now here we are. And this also has been accomplished with the collaborations of various civil sushilists. Always. Unless we want to be a Pakistan, we have to keep the army out of the civic polity (nobody gave them the authority to meddle into politics, which they have been doing since the mid 1970s), and we have to identify the crafty sushil group.

These three men are heroes. They are not sellouts like our sushil leaders — Dr. Kamal Hossain, Mahfuz Anam and some NRB sushil wannabes. This time we need to identify the real traitors.

Yes any Bangladeshi, particularly any student or ex-student of Dhaka University should voice their anger at these judgment by what ever means available to them. This is not a case against the teachers and students involved but against the bigger Dhaka University family as it is, as always has been the last stone wall between democracy and military rule in Bangladesh.

I am very angry to know this news. Now it is clear that Bangladesh still belongs to Pakistan and DGFI is the extension of Pakistani administration governing Bangladesh by the prescription of Pakistani government. My request to all who are reading this comment is to fight back DGFI and prepare a civil war if necessary. I condemn this verdict which is against the conscience of our country and our pride.
