Help Bangladesh

18 November 2007

WITH the cyclone, Sidr, wreaking havoc in Bangladesh, the country needs immediate international aid. More than a thousand people have been killed. We are not properly equipped to deal with a disaster of this magnitude. Many people are still marooned in places like the St Martin Island. We have no clue as to how people affected by the cyclone are surviving in various parts of the country.

The communication system is in a shambles and therefore government or NGO aid is not reaching people in the affected areas. I request Bangladeshi expatriates and various international aid groups to help the people in Bangladesh to tide over this crisis.

SIDR Attack in Bangladesh need international aid.

Heavy sea storm SIDR attack south part of Bangladesh. Over thousands people were died. Dead toll moment by moment. This is huge natural disaster. We face this type of disaster before various times. We take preparation but it’s not enough this type of natural disaster. We have not huge equipment to rescue affected people in rural area. Some visitor is fallen deep problem in cent Martin Island. Still now we not know their condition. In sea area lots of people are suffering for aid. Communication system is totally out of control. For this reason government aid or NGO’s aid not reach the affected area. Power fails again and again. Last three days people are suffering lots. This year we face huge flood. Now SIDR attack and disaster whole Bangladesh especially south part of Bangladesh. We need international aid. I requested Bangladeshi who lived in aboard and international various aid groups please hurry send aid for affected people.

EC makes dispute decision.

EC make dispute decision. They invite one part to BNP for dialoged with them. If it is right or wrong decision we not say now. But this decision should controversial. No doubt abuts that. We not realize why every time EC take controversial decision. Before lots of time we see EC’s decision not right. Former lots of CEC decision fallen Bangladesh uncertain position. This time we not want Bangladesh again fallen bad situation. But unfortunately this time EC’s decision not accepts people easily. They suspect EC favor someone. It’s not positive for EC. They always try to establish EC impartial institute. If they fail this time it’s not positive for them also not positive for Bangladesh. We never ever want EC again make dispute institute. We want free, fair and credible election. If EC want they should avoid all kind of dispute matter.

1st November is the historical day in Bangladesh.

1^st November is the historical day for Bangladesh. 1st November our judiciary completely gets independent. After liberation we pass 36 years but not give independent our judiciary. This people caretaker government gives us this independent. Today we launch our own judiciary magistracy for the people. Lots of magistrates join court under the Supreme Court. Last two governments take 25 times to separate judiciary from executive. But they not complete or not want to complete it. This caretaker government done it. We congratulate them for their great achievement. I’m believed that it’s their success. This caretaker government does lots of thing for the country. It’s their massive work for the people. People remember them long time. We hope they done this type of work more and more. We want Bangladesh have established good governance. We hope this government do lots of thing for Bangladesh and we never ever back before 1/11 situation.
