These days our government is very much concerned about
the political situation in Bangladesh. The concern was there already but now it
has increased due to the US position. This concern was based on the assumption
that 'Radical Islam' is getting strengthened over there in the joint leadership
of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, which has
created the chance of Bangladesh emerging as the centre of “Islamic terrorism”
in the region. And this concern of our government is despite that the Awami League
dispensation there has left no stone unturned in crushing Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami
and other Islam-loving circles. But the sources of Indian government probably
know that they might have succeeded in giving some harm to the Jamaat system
but could not break the impact and public support of the Jamaat. Now the US
stand has further worried New Delhi. According to a report, the foreign office
of U.S. gives preference to B.N.P/Jamaat alliance over Awami League, due to the
economic performance of this alliance. While the Indian government is standing
like a rock at the back of Awami League and wants to see it succeed in the
next election.
The basis of
the report
And the basis of this report of the Times of India (1
November) is that US ambassador in Dhaka Dan Mozena recently held long meetings
with foreign ministry officials in New Delhi. No formal report of the meetings
was published but the Times reporter has drawn some conclusions therefrom. One
is that the leaning of America is towards B.N.P/Jamaat alliance. Secondly,
America is not happy with the relations of Shaikh Hasina government with Mohammad
Yunus of Grameen Bank and war crimes tribunals. On the assumption of Indian
government that if the B.N.P/Jamaat alliance comes to power then ‘Radical
Islam’ will be further strengthened in Bangladesh, America says that after coming
to power this alliance would understand the basic realities of the country and
public requirements and would give up ‘Radical Islam’. But the government of
India is not satisfied with the idea. It has also become worried about the
stability of Burma. India is of the view that Rohingya Muslims live in Burma in
great numbers and now they are creating problems over there. They are joining
Al-Qaida and Lashkar-e-Taiba. In fact, our government is in worried that the
sphere of radical Islamic politics will spread over to North-East India and
even to the Poznan province of China.
The Actual
cause of trouble
It looks strange that America gives preference to
B.N.P/Jamaat alliance over Awami League – but for the now, it should be seen why the ruling class of India is
troubled by the idea of Islamic collective
life in Bangladesh. If there is a rule is established there on Islamic
principles or Islamic rulings are made base for certain issues, what harm it
would incur to our country? But the fact is that this question is based on their
ignorance. The matter is not that easy. This is related to the country's ruling
class, which is suffering with traditional racism and born arrogance and has
eternal enmity with the True Religion. This class practically runs the government.
Big government functionaries work with the mindset of this class. The people of
this class themselves are also on the government. They fear if the establishment
of Islamic equality succeeds somewhere in the neighbourhood then their social
system here will collapse. Their close friendship with Israel has made this
class more active. (In this case the United States has its own policy). Are
there not some people from among the country's Muslim and non-Muslim scholars who,
for the greater cause of the country, can hold out the political system from
the grip of this class?
