What place the almighty will grant us to keep our faces so that nobody other than a Bangladeshi can see those. There were a lot of allegations. There were a lot of rumors of thousands of millions of dollars smuggled here and there. There were a lot of rumors of earning millions of taka out of electric posts made of local wood god knows how those could leave opportunities of earning this much amount. These were pushed to courts and judges at gunpoint or out of gunpoint nobody found any of them evident yet. Nobody in Bangladesh, or out of Bangladesh never saw materials or evidences of these allegations directly or indirectly or anyways. None of anything was seen by people. But what finally came to everybody’s eyes are tormented face of him, his broken vertebral column and different part of the body covered with clean bandages. The following short movie has been re-posted from blog of Jingo. The movie is named We Won’t Forgo The Inhuman Torture on Tareq Rahman, made by something called Jingo Interactives.

Any form of torture is of course to be condemned. Its kind of ironic that RAB was created during the BNP era giving them license to torture without accountability.
However all may be not rumor. Tareq’s best friend confessed about Tareq’s corruption:

Why did Tareq let this corrupt Mughal rise? Was that lawful or right?
What about his attempt to legalize undisclosed money?

You want us to hide our face to all these and never question irregularities because he was tortured? Are our leaders (BNP, AL every party) beyond accountability?

Rezwanul,
Your tendency of questioning the politicians is very positive for a democratic country. Though we don’t have democracy in Bangladesh right this moment, I think the upsurge of questioning bloggers that has been detected to occur in last two years, will trigger world-wide criticism of whatever rash our politicians do from now on.
Tareq and Koko’s attempt to legalize money that have occurred to you that why did they earn illegal money, I want to give a pretty clearer idea about that. Legalizing money doesn’t mean you will earn pocket full of money by extortion, hijacking, looting etc. and then will ask NBR chief that “Uncle I realized enough is enough, now please give me a clean chit, pleeeee…eease!!”. Actually the thing is not like that. Tax Laws of Bangladesh which were last amended in 1983 if I am not wrong, leaves a scheme for businessmen and other cash-holders to get in touch with the NBR after a certain interval of time to register their inventories and cahses which they earned after their last visit to NBR for registry. Its really confusing to me that why an agency like BangladeshNews.com will use a word like “legalize” while they definitely know what process is really going on and what it officially is and should be called.
Now I come to your point of NBR’s not accepting their appeals. I mean it could be a big, I suggest bigger, question to me if they accepted Tareq’s and Koko’s appeals. Come on man! Tareq is being hanged from a hook attached with the roof and being released so that investigators know how strong his vertebral column is. Koko is being rejected with appeals of hospitalization, better treatment and better cell. Tareq’s lawyers are being nearly exhausted to convince the court that Tareq fell on floor by himself. The party his mother is chairing and he is an top leader too, is being infiltrated by leaders briefed by some agencies. So what do you expect from the NBR which is run by the regime doing all those misdeeds? Did you expect them to accept Tareq and Koko’s appeals and their lawyer to walk out of Dilkusha NBR HQ having triumphant smile in faces?
About Tasneem Khalil, a brave of the journalists. What about him? He has been denoted as one of the viciously biased journalists from the very beginning? Situations are quite better now on but what do you think about his not returning Bangladesh from exile in Sweden? He got the same reason that Hasan Imam, Gaffar Chowdhury and some other cunts have. They have all worked for diminishing the interest of Bangladesh to benefit our stronger, bigger and apparently troubled neighbor. I found no difference between Tasneem Khalil and Assam Student Association when both of them accuse DGFI if even a fire-cracker explodes here and there. This is ridiculous. So the time it will take for me to read the whole Tasneem Khalil article, I prefer it’d be better to spend that time to go through your comment again and again.
And about this opinion, I strongly agree. We are not to hide faces while asking politicians and leaders to reply on their deeds. We are never to stop asking them what, why and how. The moment we stop doing that, our democracy is dead. It’s already in coma.
