[vinnomot] Bangladesh should allow transit to India

Bangladesh should allow transit to India
Our geographical location makes India dependent on Bangladesh for only one transit-route. That is Kotkata -Dhaka - Chittagong - Yangon transit-route. We also feel that India should reciprocate this goodwill on our part by allowing a transit-route between Kathmundu - Dhaka and by allowing a transit-route between Thimpu - Dhaka.
 
 
We have said it all in the headline and sub-headline of the article. The only left is to answer this question -"If that is true, then what is all the fuss in a portion of the Bangladeshi press?"
 
Well, to find out about that you will have to ask those stupids. Its perplexing though, how come so many journalists and so many editors can simultaneously act such stupid? Well, if they are not stupids, they should work on their vocabulary. They need to get their definitions right.
 
There might be a supplimentary question from those newspapers who have been publishing with serious errors - "Well, we understand, what you are saying. Lets say we don't call that transit-route anymore. We stand corrected. Lets say, we call those alleged demands from India as something else - corridors. What do you say about that?"
 
Our answer would be - first start using the correct vocabulary. Lets first see how the transit-routes work out. Let India prove whether they really are "Incredible India" or whether they are "Irresponsible India" as far as its immediate eastern neighbors (Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar) are concerned. Once a good reciprocity is achieved on these proposed transit-routes, that will improve the body language of the relations among different nations in this region. Let the first step to happen. That would take a generation. Let the next generation think about what can happen in their time.
 
Ok, ok, eta na hoi bujlam. But what do you say about this question - "We might have our problem with the India's attitude or behaviour. But doesn't that hurt the general people of their north-eastern states (the so-called seven sisters). Because, even Indian government doesn't take care of the people in those states, it's often alleged. A direct proof in support of that allegation is that India has an Emergency Power Act imposed on those seven states for several decades. Don't we have a responsibility for those people?"
 
Our first response would be - 'Ma er cheye, mashir dorod dekhano ta ki valo?" On a serious note, we think we are addressing that, too. At least a portion of that concern. See the news time attached below, from the Bangla version of bdnews24.com.
 
Moreover, we have previously proposed to empower the cheif executives of the district councils of our bordering districts to take combined local projects in partnership with their Indian and Burmese counterparts so that more uniform and people-to-people exchange infrastructure are developed in our regions. We hope that would happen in coming years. On the same note, we have also previously proposed that Bangladesh should setup special economic zones for re-export processing in the bordering districts that can effectively proxy the corridor as far as economics is concerned. 
 
In the meantime, let us start with the transit-route projects. Bangladesh should allow transit to India, only if reciprocated. Our geographical location makes India dependent on Bangladesh for only one transit-route. That is Kotkata -Dhaka - Chittagong - Yangon transit-route. We also feel that India should reciprocate this goodwill on our part with allowing transit between Kathmundu - Dhaka and Thimpu - Dhaka transit-route.
 
If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columnists in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence.

শিলং à¦" গৌহাটিতে বাস চালুর প্রস্তাব দেবে বাংলাদেশ
 
 
Tue, Jul 15th, 2008 10:39 pm BdST
ঢাকা, জুলাই ১৫ (বিডিনিউজ টোয়েন্টিফোর ডটকম) - বাংলাদেশ নয়াদিল্লিতে আসন্ন পররাষ্ট্র সচিব পর্যায়ের বৈঠকে ঢাকা থেকে ভারতের উত্তর-পূর্বাঞ্চলীয় শহর শিলং à¦" গৌহাটিতে সরাসরি বাস চালুর প্রস্তাব দেবে বলে জানিয়েছেন পররাষ্ট্র সচিব মো. তৌহিদ হোসেন।

মঙ্গলবার তিনি বিডিনিউজ টোয়েন্টিফোর ডটকমকে বলেন, "ঢাকা-গৌহাটি à¦" ঢাকা-শিলং রুটে সরাসরি বাস সার্ভিস চালুর প্রস্তাব দেবো আমরা।"

মূলত: ভারতের 'ট্র্যানজিট' প্রস্তাবের বিপরীতে বাংলাদেশ এ প্রস্তাব দেবে বলে জানান তিনি।

আগামী ১৭ à¦" ১৮ জুন ভারতের রাজধানী নয়াদিল্লিতে সচিব পর্যায়ের এ বৈঠক অনুষ্ঠিত হবে।

কয়েকদিন আগে ভারতের হাই কমিশনার পিনাক রঞ্জন চক্রবর্তী জানিয়েছিলেন, আসন্ন সচিব পর্যায়ের বৈঠকে উত্তর-পূর্বাঞ্চলীয় সাতটি প্রদেশের সঙ্গে দ্রুত যোগাযোগ স্থাপনে বাংলাদেশের ভেতর দিয়ে ট্র্যানজিট সুবিধা চাইবে ভারত।

ভারতের প্রস্তাবে বাংলাদেশ রাজি হবে কী না জানতে চাইলে মঙ্গলবার পররাষ্ট্র সচিব বলেন, "আপনাদের কি মনে হয়, আমরা এমন সুবিধা দেব?"

তিনি জানান, দীর্ঘ ২৮ বছর পর সমুদ্রসীমা নির্ধারণের বিষয়েà¦" আলোচনা করতে সম্মত হয়েছে দুই দেশ। এর আগে বাংলাদেশ সমুদ্রসীমা নির্ধারণে ভারতের সঙ্গে আলোচনা করতে চাইলেà¦" ভারত রাজি হয়নি। সচিব বলেন, "এখন ভারতই এ ব্যাপারে আলোচনা করতে আগ্রহী।"

১৯৮০ সালের ২ থেকে ৫ ডিসেম্বর শেষবার দু'দেশের সমুদ্রসীমা নির্ধারণ করা হয়।

এছাড়া বৈঠকে ভারতকে প্রতিশ্র"তির চেয়ে বাড়তি একলাখ টন চাল রপ্তানি করারà¦" অনুরোধ জানানো হবে বলে তৌহিদ হোসেন জানান।

গত ডিসেম্বরে বাংলাদেশ সফরের সময় ভারতের পররাষ্ট্রমন্ত্রী প্রণব মুখার্জী বাংলাদেশে পাঁচ লাখ টন চাল রপ্তানির প্রতিশ্র"তি দেন। কিন্তু ভারত এ পর্যন্ত মাত্র এক লাখ টন চাল সরবরাহ করেছে। অভ্যন্তরীণ ঘাটতির জন্য ভারত চাল রপ্তানির ক্ষেত্রে নিয়ন্ত্রণ আরোপ করেছে।

বার্ষিক এই বৈঠকে যোগ দিতে বাংলাদেশের চার সদস্যের প্রতিনিধি দল নিয়ে পররাষ্ট্র সচিব বুধবার দিল্লির উদ্দেশে রà¦"না দেবেন।

মঙ্গলবার পররাষ্ট্র মন্ত্রণালয়ের এক বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে বলা হয়, বাংলাদেশ à¦" ভারতের মধ্যে ১৯০ কোটি ডলারের বাণিজ্য ঘাটতি কমিয়ে আনার বিষয়ে বৈঠকে আলোচনা করবে বাংলাদেশ। এজন্য ভারতের বাজারে বাংলাদেশের পণ্যের শুল্কমুক্ত প্রবেশাধিকার, অন্যান্য বাধা তুলে নেà¦"য়া à¦" একটি সমন্বিত মাননিয়ন্ত্রণ কাঠামো অনুমোদনের বিষয়ে আলোচনা করা হবে। এছাড়া ভারতীয় সীমান্ত রক্ষীদের (বিএসএফ) সীমান্তে 'বাংলাদেশী নাগরিক হত্যা' à¦" দু'দেশের মধ্যকার অভিন্ন নদীর পানি ভাগাভাগি বিষয়েà¦" আলোচনা করবে বাংলাদেশ।

  All religions need marketing to promote their faith. There 4 such big tools...

 [1] Showing 'western' white converts:
  Approx. 20,000 Americans get converted to Islam every year. Total convert, as per
CNN report is close to 1/4 million in America.
 Approx. 17 million Americans practice Yoga which is core of Hinduism
 Approx 10 million Americans adhere to Buddhism.

  All the Gurus/religious leaders show these converts to attract new convert.

[2] Propaganda that their religion has already revealed modern scientific truth-nothing can be more BS than this since none of the religious book contains any experimental data. This is to conform to authority of science which is universally accepted.

[3] Appeal to authority-what western philosopher spoke on their religion.
    Most of the time it is out of context and concocted. For example
   Muslims use a quote from G B Shaw supposedly from a book
 :Genuine Islam"! I tried to find out whether G B shaw ever wrote  that book..
 None of the bibliography I have, shows that book by G B Shaw.
  I still can be wrong, but none of the GB expert could find that book for me or ISBN
number. Hindus also do same -

 Business of religion is booming. In America Yoga is $3B market with 17 M followers.
Muslims didn't invent any serious business like Hindus yet-so they are bit slow in conversion.
In Barns and Noble -books by spiritual leaders are increasing in number.

 Does anybody have any business idea for atheism?

 Thanks

[vinnomot] Ferdaus Ahmed Quarishi sued for trespass, death threats

 

People of power make every effort to claim the world as his or her,

Ferdaus Ahmed Quarishi a man backed by Army/DGFI/CTG is just a new edition

to that chronicle. We have seen the similar one with CTG ex Advisor Geete Ara Safia.

 

Justice must be served to make sure these so called corrupt bankrupt politicians

like Ferdaus Ahmed Quarishi do not go unchallenged and law takes it own course

to stop Ferdaus Ahmed Quarishi from grabbing property from a powerless helpless

women.

Quarishi sued for trespass, death threats Tue, Jul 15th, 2008 10:59 pm BdST Dhaka, July 15 (bdnews24.com)—A case has been filed against Progressive Democratic Party chief Ferdaus Ahmed Quarishi on charges of attempting to grab a house and making death threats. Asma Lupina Mallick, wife of the late journalist Golam Rasul Mallick Tuesday, filed the case with the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court accusing Quarishi of trespassing into her Topkhana Road house in an attempt to capture it. Contacted, Quarishi termed the allegation of trespassing baseless and told bdnews24.com that he would file a libel suit. Metropolitan magistrate Maqsuda Parveen ordered the officer-in-charge of Shahbag Police Station to investigate the case and submit a report to the court on Sept 25, the next date of hearing. The plaintiff in her statement said that as heirs of her husband, she and her children were in possession of the six-storey building on Topkhana Road. Asma mentioned that Quarishi had been her tenant. Asma alleged that up to 40 unidentified armed men led by Quarishi illegally entered the fourth floor of the building and ransacked and threw out furniture on July 9. It was also alleged that the "criminals" led by Quarishi looted goods, including computers, worth about Tk 5 lakh. The plaintiff alleged that Quarishi had not been paying house rents for long. Asma alleged that Quarishi forced tenants Nusrat Mahmud Sabuj, news editor, Jainal Abedin, a reporter, of Bangla-language daily Karotoa out of the house and directed his associates to lock the house. Asma told bdnews24.com, "I'm feeling insecure. The accused person has, at different times, issued us death threats." She said that when she first went to file a case with Shahbagh police, they did not record it. Later on July 10, the plaintiff filed a general diary with the police station. Asked about the case, Quarishi told bdnews24.com: "The question of trespass doesn't arise at all as we are in the house. Maybe somebody is using them to blemish my honour." "I will file a Tk 20 crore libel suit." Quarishi also claimed he had once made an advance payment to buy the house. "When Golam Rasul Mallick was alive, I signed an agreement with him to buy the house. Accordingly, I also gave him some money. But later I came to know that the house had become bank property for non-payment of overdue bank loans." "Due to the complexity, I did not get the house registered." Quarishi claimed to be the legal owner of the house. bdnews24.com/pb/rb/eh/rm/2244 hours WARNING: Any unauthorised use or reproduction of bdnews24.com content for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited and constitutes copyright infringement liable to legal action :: Story :: ** Quarishi sued for trespass, death threats ** A case has been filed against Progressive Democratic Party chief Ferdaus Ahmed Quarishi on charges of attempting to grab a house and making death threats.

[vinnomot] Transit facilities to India

If it is profitable and in the interest of the people of Bangladesh why we cannot consider providing transit facilities to our neighbour India ?

There should  be certain condition for this transit agreement and both parties should have right to cancel this agreement at any time for their greater national interest.

First of all feasibility study should be performed by the government of Bangladesh and than submit the study report to the next elected parliament for discussion and acceptance. If  accepted  and the draft agreement passes in the Parliament , Bangladesh shgould consider the mutually benifitted Transit Agreement.

[vinnomot] Re: [Dahuk]: Does she looks gravely ill?

She is nothing but a dancing star and filthy mouth star and most important characteristics is that she is very much "Irsha porayon" .Which is very much unbecoming to the political stature she rose !!!!!!!

 

I also urge the quarter you have referred, to seriously consider a seperate award for acting in the political sphere.

She must be nominated for the next Oscar for making 15koti jonota understand that she was really that much ill. She has given muchleka (a deal) with the CTG and kept silent so far and observing Khaleda Zia. If K. Zia is released, she will make another drama to go back to Bangladesh in the same way she did earlier.

Just wait and see.

Awami Leage chief Sheikh Hasina currently visiting Finland to attend the engagement ceremony of his nephew. She would stay there till 15th of July. Interesting part is , her personal physician Dr Mudasser kept on stating that, she already has lost hearing in one ear and sight in her one eye.

 

I found this picture in todays Daily Inqilab. She does look very happy, not as ill as her blind fans and paid physicians are claiming. Well, I am not jealous but happy to see her in good health. Now I hope BAL and Hsina herself didnot forget that she is out of jail for better treatment abroad. There was barely any news of her, admitting to hospital and getting treated. Instead we see her traveling the western world, some of them are hectic and long and is impossible for a ill person to perform.

 

All the  evidence indicates that, she is well and healthy. And there shouldnot be NO EXCUSE for her to avoid facing the trail in Bangladesh.

 

Scroll down to see Shekh Hasina's most recent picture.
