Civility , Decency , Morales, democracy in our polititical cultures is the answer not the Hereditary dictatorial Leaderships under the shade of democracy , that will cause more suffering .so reject them,By Dr. Golam Sarwar
Civility of a society related to behaviour of the politicians. Civility defined as tolerance & respect for different points of view.Three basic principle for Civility of an individual or politician in a decent society---
1) Participate in a respectful & considerate way,avoid directing offensive language to the opponents or others.
2)Do not undermine or ignore others.
3) Try to make coherent & concise arguments rather than simply attacking opponents or others.
In Bangladesh Incivility amongs our Politicians has reached to its crisis point. Politicians are encouraging their activist to participate in violent activities sometimes by open speech infront of media other time behind the media in close doors (That we do not know) are leading to increasing level of violence, destruction or incivility. That we have seen , burning people alive in bus/public transport You can disagree without disrespect, seeking a common ground as a starting point for dialogue to resolve the issues.
Here I put few examples of politicians encouraging violence:-----------------
Ex Dhaka city corp mayor Sadek Hossain Khoka asked supporters in Oct 2013 " All people should come out on the street with,knife,mecetes, axe sticks, kodal, bow, arrow "
Tarik Zia said ,(taken from video in nov 2013) " It is necessary to Apply violent force for peace,it is in our religion Islam.Come out on the street not in empty hands".
Awamileague leaders many times told during the end of last BNP Govt."Come out on the street with Loggi Boitha & fight the BNP govt."People were beaten to death by Loggi & Boitha we have seen .
(Few other will mention later with evidences)
Followings are the indecent comments by our politicians over the last 40 years:------------
PM Sheik Hasina repeatedly making derogatory remarks about Khaleda Zia & her family over the last 30 yrs.
" Khaleda Zia & her whole family are thief ,she has 2x corrupt sons ,Tarik Zia has stolen money and involved in money laundering" .Recently Court Acquited Tariz Zia free from money laundering charge. She called them thief, but in the role of law no one is guilty until proven otherwise. I am not going to comment about court ruling.
Anywhere PM Sheik Hasina goes for a speech starts with " Ziaur Rahman Came with Ripped ganji ,brocken suitcase now changed to magic Box ,became industrialist,". also she says "Khaledaa Zia says she is pious but after her eviction from Cantonment house we have seen lots of wine bottles."
PM Sheik Hasina targeting Sushil Somaz" They are failed ,derailed people,they always try to lie & giving false information about Govt. & misleading ordinary people."
PM Son Sojib Wazed Joy recently started swearing & bullying at Sushil Shomaz using same language as his mother has been doing for the last 30 years"They confusing the nation by lying ,giving false & misleading information." He said" 35% of our armed force member s are Millitants", " "We have too many Madrasha established in Bangladesh in recent years". He is traveling every month to & from USA/Bangladesh, staying in Bangladesh only for few days to weeks at a time finding enough time to bully & swear at the Susil Shomaz.We expected better from there younger generation and strongly wanting to change the political culture but unfortunately it is getting worse.We cannot & should not trust with the same.
PM Sheik Hasina told many times including in a BBC interview about Noble Lauriet Prof Yunus "He is a blood sucker".
Their recent 37 mins telephone conversation was not constructive rather argumentative & fighting between 2 x ladies. Begam Zia said at one point "We want you to live longer . As long as you live , you will continue to say silly things that will help BNP 's popularity."
Finance Minister AMA Muhit uses "Rubbish " many times about Prof Yunus,Independent Economist.
MK Alamgir Home Mnister many times made derogatory comments. In one occasion on (27/2/13) with journalists,( Mr.Iqbal Sobhan Choudhury) he said about Shagor/Runi murder case"Looking at Megh's( their son) future ,we are not detailing likely reason of death , they were involved in unethical ,immoral relationship & ETOH etc,etc."After strong objection from all the Journalists ,he withdrew his statement and appologized and asked them not to publish it .
Begam Zia "Openly threatened security force " We are identifying you, will see you onec the Government change ,She also called to fight & remove this tyrannic Govt from power."
Zamaat leaders in Shapla Chottor openly threatened for " Civil war".We all have seen what destruction ,atrocities Zamaat committing during this 2013.
Joynul Abedin Faruque (BNP chief whip) used ugly threatened swearing language,sometimes very physical towards Security services on many occations as per video footage & police also used very ugly swearing words at him & used excessive force.
Mr. Fakhrul Islam Alamgir BNP acting GS said "Burning few Buses is not enough,Thousands activist should come out on the street".
In the Parliament few MPs from both AL & BNP , Papia, Rehana others from (BNP) and Mrs Mahbub ara Gini, Mrs Fajilatunnesa Bappi from (AL) & others , used very rough ugly , dispeakable language that not only damaging the reputation of MPS but undermining the Parliament.
Conscious ,Morales, Decency are shredding from our country because of these politicians .These politician never allowed our ' House of Wisdom' Shusil Shomaz to flourish.They do not like our sushil wise society to solve our Political crisis rather they are interested foreign countries like India/USA to meddle in our internal affairs. This is a disgrace for our nation that ,our Politicians AL,BNP,JP are going to Indian/US high commissioners residence .US high commissioner visiting India to discuss about Bangladesh .As long as our Citizen continue to choose these Indecent ,Immoral politicians to rule the country its crisis will never be resolved.
Our Politicians may be respected by hard core supporters but They have lost dignity & respect of our 16 cror people . Dignity can only be earn by effort not by force.
Democracy means: "Rule by the people".It is a form of government where constitution gurantees :1)Free and fair Election. 2)Independent Judiciary and Justice for all. 3) Ensure Security for every Citizen. 4)Accountability of the leaders and Govt. for their conduct and policies. 5) Basic personal and political rights. 6) Freedom of opinion, speech ,press,media.
NB:Press/,Media also has moral responsibility and obligations to play fairly & decently and not exaggerate or incite violence with false publications.Citizen should also use moral institution not to participate in any form of violence , not to abuse the freedom
In Bangladesh only Reasonable fair election & limited media freedom exist ,none of the other democratic principle exists. Corrupt Chain of command must be brocken & abolished like
1) Dictatorial power of the party leader, one person is the sole decision makers.
2) Nepotism, patronage network,politicisation of Govt. Institusion (Police,Judiciary,Bureaucrats etc ) or Administration by BNP, AL causing these Govt.Instituions remaining underperforming,inefficient & ineffective .
3) Creating Politicical muscleman ,who are continuing criminal activities under the protection of Authority ,Police, Politicians . Their presence can be seen in every corner of Bangladesh like RANA PLAZA Sohel Rana , who are becaming multimillionier overnight at the same time Poor University Professor sending his servant to buy Govt concession price low quality rice.My question to those AL politicians who repeatedly calling for "Muktizuddher Chetona" is it the Chetona you are talking about where a honest , decent person has no place in Bangladesh,A honest Uni prof.cannot buy food ,a freedom fighter begging on the street ,whereas RANA plaza owner can be a multimillioneer overnight from a street vendor.
4) This country was founded for 16 Cror people not for these indecent, Immoral, Corrupt politicians.16 cror people should Reject these Politicians and vote for decent ,honest irrespective of party line or wealth to bring Decency,peace , harmony.Only that can change or help to overcome these Incivility.
There are many Decent MP,Politicians out there in both parties we have not heard any indecent ,incivil language like ,Md Abdul Hamid(president),Md.Zillur Rahman(passed),Dr. B .Choudhury , DR.Shirin Sharmin (speaker),Mr Shafiq Ahmed (Law minister) ,Mrs .Motia Choudhury AL,Dr.Kamal Hossain,MR.Obaydul Kader AL,Mr .Nazrul Islam BNP,,MR. M K Anwar,BNP,Mr Hannan Shah BNP,Md Nurul Islam Nahid( Education Minister), MR M R Manna,Mr.Andalif Partho and many others who can come forward in frontline politics along with good track record Shushil Shomaz
From shusil shomaz -- Dr Akbar Ali Khan, Dr. Bodiuzzaman Mojumder,Dr Asif Nazrul,,Prof Nurul Islam, Barrister Amirul Islam, Adv. Shahdin Malik,Adv.Sultana Kamal,Mrs. Rizwana Hasan ( environmental activist),Dr.Iftekharuzzam (TIB),Md Shakhawat Hossain (ex election commissioner) many others.
It is the people who are suffering .People are facing incivility, criminality,indecency in the name of politics everyday..People should think wisely not to support these wrong ,misguided politicians, and rejecting Hereditary dictatorship of both Sheik Hasina or Begam Khaleda Zia .People should vote and choose leaders with good track record and Integrity..That will bring decency , stability in our political culture and the country. Otherwise these Political terrorism will continue to happen .Foreign super power big power always trying to support & promote dictators as it is very easy to control the contry for their own purpose , That we have been seeing in entire Middle East by USA .Bangladesh is similarly controlled by our big neighbour India. We have seen recently how India /US madeling in our internal affairs . That is taking our dignity away. We have seen last 5 years what advantage it has taken from Bangladesh .Dr G Sarwar(sarwarnnj.blogspot.com)
