Two types of fear have been expressed involving Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Leader of the Opposition Begum Khaleda Zia. Apprehensions have been expressed that Begum Khaleda Zia might be arrested. And if this happens, a big disaster might loom large in the political sky of the country. Moreover, a fear has been expressed over the life of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Both the fears have been expressed by senior leaders of the two major parties led by the two women leaders of the country.
Country's Political Arena
People ranging from politically conscious individuals to common masses have become worried as apprehensions were expressed about the two prime leaders of the country's political arena. Because these two women leaders are controlling the country's politics. Everything in the country is dependent on the two leaders. And as a result, the fears about the two leaders have crated unease and anxiety among different quarters.
Political parties under the leadership of the main opposition party -- the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) -- have already announced that they would build a tougher movement in the streets after the upcoming Id on the issues of price hiking of commodities, deterioration of law and order, gas, electricity and water crises, dilapidated condition of roads and highways across the country and signing of secret deals with India.
The leaders from different rallies and meetings have announced that this government will be dislodged from power through a tougher movement under the leadership of BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia. In the wake of this, BNP leaders allege, the government is conspiring to arrest Begum Khaleda Zia in connection with a case relating to misappropriation fund of Zia Charitable Trust.
Anticountry Agreement
At first BNP Standing Committee Member Goeshwar Chnadra Roy at a discussion meeting at the National Press Club said the government was conspiring to arrest Begum Khaleda Zia. He said that the government signed anticountry agreement with New Delhi during Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's visit to Bangladesh. He said that the government was planning to arrest the opposition leader so that the people of the country could not build movement to resist the agreements against national interest under the leadership of Khaleda Zia. According to him, the government is planning to arrest her to appease India.
Subsequently many senior BNP leaders have also alleged that the government is conspiring to arrest Begum Khaleda Zia. Issuing an warning in this regard, Jatiyatabadi Juba Dal president said, "The government will not be able to detain Begum Khaleda Zia in any prison of the country. If Khaleda Zia is arrested, this government will be ousted from power through a tougher mass movement."
Spreading Violence
A severe reaction was created in the political arena following expression of apprehension about the arrest of Begum Khaleda Zia. The BNP is taking preparations for building movement in the streets in the event of the government taking such a step. Political analysts believe the ongoing movement against the government might turn violent if Khaleda Zia is arrested.
Meanwhile, a more serious matter of concern than the arrest of the opposition leader and spreading of violence out of the event has been expressed by the ruling Awami League General Secretary and Local Government Minister Syed Ashraful Islam and Prime Minister's Education Adviser Dr Alauddin Ahmed.
Ashraful Islam has disclosed a more direct apprehension in this regard. At a discussion meeting he said a conspiracy has begun in the country to kill Prime Minster and Awami League Chief Sheikh Hasina. He disclosed the apprehension at a discussion meeting organized by the Awami League at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital Dhaka.
The discussion was organized under the chairmanship of Awami League Presidium Member Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury on the occasion of the 21 August 2004 Grenade attack. At the meeting Syed Ashraful Islam said a conspiracy was being hatched to prepare the grounds for killing Sheikh Hasina through destabilizing the country's situation. He said grounds were also prepared in 1975 through various conspiracies to kill Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Describing the recent movement of the opposition parties as the conspiracy to prepare the ground for killing Sheikh Hasina, Ashraful said we admit the rise in the price hike of essentials and dilapidated condition of roads and highways in the country. But a quarter is out to create an anarchic situation on the issues to destabilize the country.
Conspiracies Hatched
The Awmi League Leader said repeated conspiracies were hatched in the past to kill Sheikh Hasina and the conspiracies are still going on. He said we have to protect Sheikh Hasina. For this reason, he said, the leaders and workers of the Awami League will have to face the situation in a united way.
The minister has termed as 'part of the conspiracy' the publication of articles in different media that Bangladesh needed anti-corruption personality like Anna Hazare of India. He said some newspapers are searching for Anna Hazare. He said some of the TV channels are presenting events smearing color to create a destabilizing situation in the country. This is also part of the conspiracy so that the conspirators get the chance to kill Sheikh Hasina.
Syed Ashraful Islam said a particular quarter is searching for Anna Hazare in Bangladesh with an ill motive. He said our country has a government, the parliament and democracy. He wanted to know whether the government here is plunged into so deep in corruption. The minister said the government has not committed such crimes that warrants searching for an Anna Hazare in this country.
Syed Ashraful Islam also considers as part of the conspiracy the uproar created within the ruling party in the wake of failures of the government in different sectors. He urged the party leaders and workers to remain vigilant against the conspiracies and said a conspiracy is being hatched to crate division in the Awami League. The local government minister said attempt are being made to create deficiency in confidence among us.
He said a particular quarter is trying to reap benefit after creating division and conflicts between leaders and leaders, MPs and MPs and the party and the government.
Issuing a note of warning to the Awami League leaders and workers, Syed Ashraful Islam said still we have time to forge unity. It will not do if we allow ourselves drifting away. Sharing of power is not our main target.
National Interests
In this regard, Jahangirnagar University Professor Dr Tareq Shamsur Rahman said recently that the apprehension expressed by the senior leaders of the two parties about the two top women leaders is a matter of concern. It will not be in the interest of the country if anything bad happens to any one of the two leaders.
Shamsur Rahman said lawsuits have been filed against the leader of the opposition party. He said a severe agitation will spread among millions of BNP workers and supporters if she is arrested. And this will make violent the ongoing movement against the government. He said none is expecting such a situation in the country.
However, a serious anxiety has been created in the wake of apprehension expressed by important ministers of the government and the ruling party general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam about the plot to kill Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He said the minister should present before the nation the conspiracy of the killing the Prime Minister. He also called for taking necessary measures to unearth the conspiracy to kill the prime minister. Because, he said the lack of security of life of the prime minister is very damaging for the country.
