Afghanistan was then being systematically ravaged by means of the Taliban militants. Previous one more attempt used to be also made on the life of Sheikh Hasina in Kotalipara, Gopalgonj. Police arrested a man named Mufti Hannan in reference to the attempt in Kotalipara and August 21 grenade assault. Hannan had close connection with HuJI. He additionally confessed that he was frequently in contact with Tarique Rahman, elder son of Begum Zia. After witnessing the by no means ending attacks with the aid of religious bigots and the petrol bomb associated violence presented in our political arena not too long ago many have started considering that possibly Karlekar was once right in his commentary. The considering was further bolstered when blogger Md. Oyasiqur Rahman Babu was once hacked to loss of life by using three devout bigots in vast daylight in Dhaka on Tuesday. This comes barely after the brutal homicide of Avijit Roy, an additional blogger and on-line activist. The equal 12 months, an extraordinarily equivalent strive was made on one more blogger Asif Mohiuddin. Similar attempts have been made to kill the eminent poet, now deceased Shamsur Rahman, and writer Dr. Humayun Azad. Although Shamsur Rahman managed to avoid wasting himself, Dr. Azad succumbed to his accidents a number of months later in Germany. The killers who had been concerned in such barbaric acts customarily did not have any thought what running a blog is.
Religion used to be used for all contemporary killings of bloggers, though in Islam nowhere is it written or said that any person has the proper take a further man or woman's life in the name of faith. In line with to be had reports, the three alleged killers did not know Masum, their hujur who gave them their 'challenge,' from before but met him for the primary time when he shared with them the plan as to how Babu will have to be killed. He even confirmed the photograph of Babu formerly in order that the killers can identify him conveniently. The three did a reconnaissance on Babu's motion and he was once hit close his house in Tejgaon industrial subject when he was once on his approach to place of business.
These concerned in these killings and militancy belong to fundamentalist political events like HuJI, Ansarullah Bangla team, JMB, Hizbut Tahrir, Hizbut Towhid, LoT, and if not all most have their roots in Jamaat-e-Islami. Another latest phenomenon that has surfaced is that not all who are worried in such brutal killings are madrasa scholars. A few of them, in particular those belonging to Hizbut Tahrir, come from one-of-a-kind public and private universities. Those arrested for killing Rajib had been all pupils of a excessive profile exclusive institution of the country.
On October 2, 2014, there was a giant explosion in Khagragar within the district of Burdawan in West Bengal the place two bomb makers with close connections with JMB had been making incredibly damaging and deadly Improvised Explosive devices (IOD). A week or so in the past, the country wide Investigation agency (NIA) of India, whilst submitting charge sheets towards 22 JMB operatives in the Bonkshal court in Burdawan mentioned that these charge sheeted as a minimum four of them were Bangladeshi residents. Of those accused 13 have been arrested and eight are absconding. 2 died throughout the lethal explosion. The charge sheet stated that these accused were worried in a conspiracy to get rid of the elected government of Sheikh Hasina and replace it with `Sharia' established govt. All arrested or accused had connections with madrasas in Burdawan, Nodia, Birbhum and Murshidabad. Unluckily considering that the assault on poet Shamsur Rahman till the killing of Rajib, nobody used to be convicted though there is a lengthy standing demand to check out the militants and terrorist beneath Anti Terrorism Act of 2009 (amended in 2012).
Within the last forty years, the nation has witnessed the alarming mushroom progress of Quomi madrasas with none type of presidency manipulate and therefore most of them have emerge as incubators of nurturing militants. To this point none of those madrasas have managed to produce any devout pupil valued at naming. Even a country like Pakistan has attempted to manage these breeding grounds of militants however the failure of the Bangladesh executive has contributed in the construction of killers of Babu and others. It may be safely stated that Babu is not the last victim of those devout fans. There might be many more to return except the government is critical ample to take action towards these bigots. Lengthen in action may outcomes in shedding the Bangladesh that three million martyrs dreamt of in 1971 and transforming the nation into one other Afghanistan as Hiranmay Karlekar forecasted. These demons should be made to recognize that the attain of the federal government is way wider than they feel.
