FATHER OF THE NATION OR NATIONAL TRAITOR

Much have been said about the so called father of the nation of Bangladesh. Sheik Mujibur Rahman who was Bangladesh leader from 1972 til 1975. It is only referred to a such by his political party Awami League.

Many people dont know or tend to black out the periods of 1972 to 1975 as if it is insignificant in Bangladesh history. But those four years laid the foundation of what Bangladesh is today.

Yes he has fought for right of Bangladeshis but he was not the only one. Yes he made some great speeches so did Fidel Castro. Yes he was so called popular with the people as much as Saddam Husseins elections.

Having inherited a was ravaged country with many heroes giving their life for the liberation. He first self appointed himself as the leader of Bangladesh. Though he can give great speeches his running of a country was inept and impotent. This is where his true colors came out. He first cleansed all professional administrators deeming them as collaborator in reality they were not loyal to the Awami League. He replaced them with his own cronies. Majority of them half educated, corrupt, anti- democratic and nepotist. In fact Bangladesh became a mujib family business. The new nation was divided into mini fiefdom among the awami league leadership. They used intimidation corruption, extortion and special fees for contracts. They said "well you want to set up a business then how much gift money are you gonna give me".

On of the criminal acts was Mujib looked the other way while his party members diverted food aid , withholding them from the market resulting in the price to go up and then turning around to sell it in the Black market. This caused a famine in Bangladesh between 1974 to 1975 resulting in deaths of a million people. IS THIS THE ACTS OF A FATHER OF A NATION, THIS IS THE ACT OF A CRIMINAL .

Political opponent including his leftist rival spoke up. Mujib used brutal repression and his rakkhi bahini private eliminated these opponent in gruesome manner. Torture and disappearance became rampant.

For a Man who fought for democracy during pre-1971 became what the pakistan army were but even worse because he used the people goodwill against them . cont.........
