_________________________________

People has made "Janatar Mancha" in front of Press Clab.

This mancha is serving contineous cultural program for
the democracy loving people who are sitting on the streets and
demanding Khaleda's resignation.

Organized by Dhaka Mayor this sitting program is extremely peaceful
and people promised they will not go back home
untill Khaleda's fall.

From Saterday (March 30) Government officers and employees will join
with this sitting program.
Earlier Secretaiate employees arrested two armed Mastan hired by
DUCSU VP turn BNP Minister Amanullah Aman.
This effect seems working as a catalyst.

May God enlighten Khaleda Zia.

Thanks

The democracy loving people as you called in the name of your friend
forgot that Hasina's beloved father and her party was almost successful
in killing democracy in Bangladesh once.The people from so called
"Janatar Macha" forgot that the country lost Taka 5500 crore (Koti) worth
of garments due to order cancellation and investments moved to India and
other countries. I certainly congratulate you Mr. Ghosh for your beloved
godess Hasinas achievement. She has proved that she can do lot of thing
if Golam Azam is on her side.

Thanks

I was wondering if the "Janatar Macha " is free.

Perhaps that is what Hasina's only objective is, the cry of election is farce.
Cripple the economy of Bangladesh, so that it remains the "basket case" and a
permanent market for its neighbour.

Begum Khaleda Zia is ousted by the people.
Or you can also say by the civil servants.
Please dont congratulate me or Shekh Hasina.
People in Bangladesh may deserve your congratulation.

Care taker Govt. demand was peoples demand.
People has realized their demand by ousting Khaleda, like Ershad.
Of course the ecomonic losses are regretable and uncoverable.
But who is responsible for this ?
Is it not Khaleda Zia ?
She could avoid this crysis too early.
Why did not she amend constitution 2 years before, what she did last month ?
Because, she wanted to win election like Feb.15.

People knew her evil design.

That's why she is ousted by the people for the people's welfare.

Thanks.

Because taking the congratulations would mean you (and your Hasina) would
also have to take the responsibilities, and I can see why you (and Hasina
and the other political parties) would want to stay away from taking that
- the responsibilities.

>People in Bangladesh may deserve your congratulation.

People of Bangladesh deserve a lot of things, and yes congratulations
alongwith it. But they do not deserve congratulations for something they
had very little to do with. The political parties alone deserve the
congratulations and the responsibilities of the last 2-3 years.

>

Realy ? Where did you get thispiece of information ? How many people did
you survey to come to this conclusion ? All the people I've talked to
seemed to want the situation to end - period, so that they could return
to leading their normal life.

>People has realized their demand by ousting Khaleda, like Ershad.

Show some presence of intelligence, don't compare ousting of Khaleda to
that of Ershad. Do you really believe people were as united in bringing
Khaleda down as they were in the case of Ershad ?

>Of course the ecomonic losses are regretable and uncoverable.
>But who is responsible for this ?

All the political parties of our country are responsible for this -
without exception.

>Is it not Khaleda Zia ?

Yes, alongwith Hasina and the other Political leaders.

>She could avoid this crysis too early.

So could have AL and Hasina, by staying in parliament.

>Why did not she amend constitution 2 years before, what she did last month ?
>Because, she wanted to win election like Feb.15.

And why do you think this demand was not made by any political party
before the '90 election results ? Becasue everyone was hoping to win and
have the controlling power in the next election.

I wouldn't expect anyone but Hasina herself to say these words. You
really surprise me.

Following is a piece of a non bias report by Time International (April 8, 1996 Volume
147, No. 15) on Jonotar Moncho:

.Two weeks ago, a less metaphorical political line was stretched across the land:
500,000 people held hands in peaceful protest against Khaleda, forming a more or
less continuous human chain 1,000 km long. The following day, Dhaka mayor
Mohammad Hanif clambered onto a stage in the center of the capital, dubbed "Dais
of the Public," and announced to a crowd of 100,000, "This government is an illegal
government. You sit here until you get your government back."

The crowd stayed through the night, listening to speeches and singing freedom
songs from the 1971 war with Pakistan that led to Bangladesh's creation. Before
dawn, Hanif left for morning prayers, and city police, taking advantage of his
absence, moved in with tear gas and rubber bullets. They charged the crowd with
batons, injuring hundreds, and demolished the dais. At 10 a.m. the mayor returned,
backed by thousands of supporters. The police tried to repel them but failed. The
stage was hastily rebuilt, and the speeches resumed. ......."

Perhaps we the netters do not understand well how people reacted to the recent
revolution against a government which was elected ONCE perfectly through a so
called Caretaker government and later WANTED to keep its grip by arranging a
Election that people REJECTED almost unanimously.

If One wants to give any credit to any one it should go to the Powerful People of
Bangladesh who needs a REAL Patriotic Government who will serve the nation's
interest; not that of a person or a party at all. If it is AL and its alliances who
successfully organized a movement against the autocracy designed by BNP; it is
again the responsibility of these political parties to up hold people's verdict and do all
the good things for our country.

But No one can Guarantee what would be the role of the defeated.
Let us hope that they should try to bring back the peoples' trust upon them in a
constructive way.
The Present Care taker Government should TAKE IMMEDIATE action against the
DESTRUCTIVE forces living within the different Political Parties. Army should also
help the administration to find out all the musclemen and try to rehabilitate them for
CLEAN politics if they want.
We all should put our party interest aside and think about the welfare of the people
of Bangladesh so That there would be no more necessity to Make JONOTAR
MONCHO to pull down a un popular government. People will throw them away by
applying their power of BALLOT.

Regards.

Using the same argument, may I ask how do you claim that ousting
Ershad was people's doing? I can see similar events taking place
in this two "uprising" - if you want to call them.

Thanks - Jamil.

Thanks for the report. I agree with your observation that it
was more than peoples participation, and that it was a show of
distrust, disgust, hate, anger -- of people against any ill-mannered
people betraying government, be it AL, BNP, JP - you name it. And is
a support and call for a people oriented government.

Did you see Jonotar Moncho?
I did. Today I had a look into the latest TIME and News week.
Both published pictures of the aggregation infront of Bangladesh Secreteriate.
There was a large effigy of the then PM.

Have a look through my page now and
Let's try to understand how people reacted against the past regime.

It may change our out look even.

And it should be a good lesson for all our politicians.
