Evil design behind Cox's venue attack?

Just before the ICC inspection team reached the under-construction Cox's Bazar Stadium, some construction facilities of the venue and its workers were victims of an attack led by Nasima Akhter Bakul, the acting chairman of the Cox's Bazar Sadar Upazila Parisad.
Witnesses said Bakul, also a local BNP leader, went to the spot at around 12 noon with around fifty people, who reportedly vandalised the tin-roof structure and physically assaulted the workers.
Thankfully, local police and Rab-7 battalion members rushed to the spot immediately to pacify a fuming Bakul, making sure the unwanted incident was not brought to the notice of the ICC inspection team that was scheduled to visit the place exactly at the time of the incident, but reached late due to a delay of their flight from Chittagong because of inclement weather.
Bakul in her defence said that she went to the restricted facility to protect her leased lake.
“I have got a five-year lease of the lake inside this under-construction facility from Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation. I'm evicted without any compensation and that's why I went there with my people to protect my place,” Bakul told the Cox's Bazar Correspondent of the Daily Star yesterday.
When contacted, the Cox's Bazar model thana officer-in-charge Md Jasimuddin confirmed the incident and said: “We are yet to file any case as BCB officials informed us that they will sit to discuss the matter before taking any action,” he told the Daily Star correspondent.
However, on the surface it looked like an aggrieved person tried to disturb a few under-construction materials of what promises to be the country's first green venue. But many believe it was only an act born of an evil design from a vested quarter, which is out not only to paint a disturbing image of country's cricket to the ICC inspection team but also desires to build commercial facilities instead a cricket stadium now being prepared for next year's ICC Twenty20 Women's World Cup.
“The board had agreed to compensate not only this lady (Bakul) but also the other parties who got leases from the Parjatan Corporation. The compensation sums have also been agreed in a meeting with Parjatan officials where this lady was present. The board is waiting for the MOU to be signed before compensating them. In that context this incident is not only uncalled for but also disturbing,” said a BCB official preferring not to be named.
He also said that there can only be two conceivable for her actions -- she wanted to raise her compensation claim or acted on the wishes of a quarter that does not want the venue to be built here.
He also informed that the BCB agreed to pay nearly Tk 1 core as compensation in the meeting.
“But to be honest we received a draft MOU from Parjatan and we were surprised to see the figure had been raised three-fold. Not only that, Parjatan has also inserted some very questionable clauses in the draft that we are working upon,” said the official acidly.
BCB was supposed to get the 50-acre land in the Golf Course from the Parjatan Corporation to make their long-cherished dream come true. But at the moment they are struggling against time to complete the venue for the mega event due to start in March next year.
