Mr. Mohiuddin, for your information about Indian expatriate in US and elsewhere and their political organization, you are absolutely wrong as always. BJP and Congress, both major political parties have not just presence in US and elsewhere in the world but have very strong organization in US. Here is the link below to check for your self and others who always bashfully attack Bangladeshi expatriate's political aspiration.
Indian National Congress: http://www.inoc.org/
Bharatio Janota Party: http://www.ofbjp-usa.org/html/index.php
I am also copying the website for both parties at the end of this mail.
I am not sure what makes you think expatriate Bangladeshi does not have the right to do Bangladeshi politics in US or else where. You may be ready to give up your right but why should I?
Bangladesh government is seriously considering giving voting right to expatriate which in plain English translates to giving share of political franchise. Not only CTG but all previous political government gave assurance to Bangladeshi's leaving abroad that they have planned to include them into voting registration process.
In recent days I even heard of some Bangladeshi expatriates are demanding to have reserve seats in the parliament the house of politics. Change Bangladesh an American Bangladeshi organization (Mr. Mithu) even floated the idea of nominating fifty people in the coming general election. For various reason I do not endorse any of them. But I certainly demand our voting right to participate in general elections. Almost all countries allows their expatriate citizens to vote, even the tiny war ravaged country Afghanistan arranged their citizen in America to vote in last election. Why not Bangladesh will do the same!
Once I have the right to vote I must have the fundamental right to do politics of my choice and organize alliance accordingly. Mr. Mohiuddin, you have the right to choose your path of expressing your belief but you or any others do not have the right to forcefully disfranchise my right to do politics. Government has no constitutional or legal right to determine who can and can not do politics.
I know some people have objection of Bangladeshi politics abroad because they think these organization fights each other which is not true at all. Though Awami League and BNP have rivalry in Bangladesh but in US soil I can tell you I never heard they are fighting each other. Contrarily, the personal relation among two group's members and their leaders are very good. I think political party in Bangladesh can learn from the peaceful coexistence of Awami League and BNP in USA.
However I know many mosque management committee fights to the blood inside the mosque for power position. There are ample of example of group fight about mosque goers in US Bangla news media. Should we ask US government to stop Bangladeshi's to have their religious right revoked because they fight? NO, Absolutely NOT. There is always good and bad of all group, either it is religion based or politics-Socio based.
In almost all state in US Bangladesh community has more then one committee of each organization. This year FOBANA happened to be in four places. We can condemn them for arranging fractional FOBANA but we can not ask US government to outlaw all Bangladeshi organization!
Thanks

Morever visits of all foreign political leaders to the United States should be restricted by U.S. Embassies abroad.We see all political leaders obtaining visas from U.S. Embassy Dhaka withouit any restriction some of those poltical leaders are known corrupt and criminal.
As Political Leaders they should not be allowed to do political activities in the United States.They should sign pledge that they won't engage themselves in political meetings in the United States before getting visas. If they engage they should be barred from visiting USA for a period of Ten years. We know World's largest democracy is India and expatriate Indians never form any political party units in the USA. Not only India no other foreign nation has any political units currently engaged in 'deshi politiocs; in the USA. U.S. government should forcefully imp-ement the current rules to deny any foreign political activities in the USA. ____________________________________________________________ Thinking of a life with religion?

AN ORGANISATION DEDICATED TO PRESERVE DEMOCRACY & SECULARISM IN INDIA
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Globalization seems to have moved all the boundaries. Consequently, an event in one corner of the earth has an impact on the rest of the world.
