Deadly attack on Awami League
Zinda Mahmood Bajwa New York, US
The January 27 news of the deadly attack on the Awami League convention at Habiganj and death of SAMS Kibria and others was most unfortunate, but not unexpected. The trend which has been going on in Bangladesh for the last one year was an indication of this and other similar type of horrendous activities. Bangladesh has great history of tolerance. Since the killing on Oct 31, 2003 of Shah Alam, an Ahmadiyya, at Raghunathpur in Jessore, only because he was an Ahmadiyya Muslim, the Bangladesh embassy officials in the United States were contacted in Nov 2003. Having no positive response from the officials here in the US, We contacted the Bangladesh government high officials in Dhaka through faxes, letters . But all these officials turned a deaf ear and never acknowledged and responded to our concern. Of course we were concerned about the violent death of our Ahmadiyya brother but we showed our anxiety for the future events which may take place in Bangladesh. The example of Pakistan was already there, which has been hijacked by terrorists though they have made their constitution fully "Islamic". We approached our government officials to make our feelings known to all those working for the rights of people. The problem is that the fanatic groups are following a policy which is far from human , let alone religious.We hope that truth and justice shall prevail in Bangladesh.
