The last week of October is already a time that will be always remembered for the darkest events of Bangladeshi politics took place in 2006 after Awami League activists took the streets at today’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s call of ‘Logi Boitha Protest’. Six members from Awami League’s political opponents lost lives after being severely beaten by logi-boitha. Later Awami League claimed they also lost an activist in countrywide political clashes.
The photo above shows Mainuddin, a student of Finance 11th Batch in Dhaka University whom their League ‘intutions’ considered as an activist of Hizbut Tahrir, the recently banned Islamic outfit, is left fallen on the street after a group of Bangladesh Chhatro League (BCL) activists launched attack on him. After the Awami League government took office, the target list of BCL was limited to Jatiyotabadi Chhatro Dal (JCD) and Bangladesh Chhatro Shibir, whom they have even killed more than a dozen of in last months. Now it appears that the recent ban on Hizbut Tahrir by the government has lifted the organization’s status to be a political opponent of BCL and now its activists are becoming assaults targes no matter if detected only by wild intutions like the one shown above.
Now a question does worth of being asked that, the recent ban that Awami League government has put on Hizbut Tahrir to operate any further, has it been just a ban or a license issued for Chhatro League to assault them or anyone calling him a ‘Hizbut Tahrir’ and for the progressive-cum-hypocrite news bodies like Prothom Alo and Daily Star to keep mum seeing Hizbut Tahrir men bleeding on the streets?
News Details,
At Daily Jaijaidin
At The Independent
News agencies keeping mum?
BDNews24 appears to be one of our the news-bodies who give the highest exposure of how Islamic outfits 'mashroomed' in Bangladesh. But a DU student brutally beaten and thrown bleeding on streets just because Chhatro League (BCL) suspected him to be Hizbut Tahrir, doesn't appear to be worthy of an exposure.
After coming by the incident I searched for details in a handful of news sites and astonishingly it was almost nowhere. A site called Khilafah.com, the Daily Star, Jaijaidin and The Independent were all who reported it. Many other news agencies especially BDNews24 who has got much of the acclaim of a 24-hour news site, I don’t know whether this was a failure of a deliberate ignorance, has not published anything about it. I mean, have the days come that a Dhaka University student is beaten brutally on the streets by ruling party student wing at broad daylight and it ain’t something to appear in news sites?

There was a time four or five years ago when for any media the easiest way to achieve the acclaim of ‘progressive’ was to write some essays on how Islam is becoming unsuitable for a better way to live with liberty. But now definition of there progressives has changed. Now even many Western analysts denote these third world exposure-freak ‘progressives’ to be largely containing the characteristics of Ziowest media group, who’s main knock to the society is denomizing Islam.
