Jamaat's ghost…

After independence when people's dream was not being fulfilled, Freedom Fighter Ziaur Rahman emerged in the political arena of Bangladesh and people started gathering en masse behind him. In 1971, people had heard his voice from Kalurhat Betar Kendra and were inspired to a great extent to fight against the Pakistani invaders. If Zia were not a Freedom Fighter, people would not have supported him. Actually Zia appeared in our political sky like a comet. His personal honesty was a great plus point amongst dishonest politicians.
Zia wanted to build Bangladesh putting together all hands of people, irrespective of their past political beliefs. So, we saw extreme lefts and extreme rights working hand in hand.
But what do we see now in the BNP? For competing with the AL, the BNP is working as per the prescription of the Jamaat. The Jamaat's ghost has got its permanent place on the BNP's shoulder! The BNP's pro-liberation groups and supporters are annoyed. The Jamaat is setting traps, one after another, and Khaleda Zia is entering into those without calculating the future influence and results of it. The BNP sacrificed a leader like Kamal Ibne Yusuf for Mujaheed of the Jamaat the latter narrowly saved his deposit money in the election. Satter Ukil of B.Baria could not participate for Ameeni in 2001 and 2008, although the former had won many times before.
The Jamaat was, and still is, an anti-liberation party and they directly collaborated with the Pakistani army. They killed, raped, looted and what not! They have not yet admitted their past misdeeds. Why do the genuine supporters of Zia have to have friendship with such criminals? Could not the BNP win alone in 1991?
