In 1974, Bhasani came to the realization that India should not be considered as a friendly state for us. He asserted, “The generation that understands that India is our enemy are the best children of this nation.”
Professor Ghulam Azam recognized this reality as well. In 1971, he cautioned Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, “Don’t throw us from the clutches of the fox to the mouth of the tiger.”
Shaheed Ziaur Rahman shared this understanding. Following Talukder Moniruzzaman’s advice, he devised a security strategy to confront India. He established the Village Police, Ansar, and VDP, and implemented fundamental steps including achieving proportional balance in hilly Chittagong. The Awami government promptly nullified these measures.
This unyielding belief cost many leaders their lives: Jamaat leader Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami, Jamaat’s former Secretary General Ali Ahsan Muhammad Mujahid, former Senior Assistant Secretary General Muhammad Kamaruzzaman, former Assistant Secretary General Abdul Quader Mollah, former Executive Council Member Mir Kasem Ali, and BNP Standing Committee Member Salauddin Quader Chowdhury. Allama Delwar Hossain Saeedee, Maulana AKM Yusuf, Maulana Abdus Subhan, Muhaddis Abdul Khalek, and BNP leader Naseeruddin Pintu also perished in prison cells. National leader BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, Jamaat Acting Secretary General ATM Azharul Islam, BNP leader Abdus Salam, and Major General Rezzakul Haider Chowdhury are serving long prison sentences. Brigadier General Abdullah Al Aman Azmi, Barrister Mir Ahmed Bin Kasem, and BNP leader Ilyas Ali remain missing.
Indian malevolent forces brutally killed 57 brave officers of our army in Pilkhana on the same day to eliminate obstacles to their heinous plans. The fascist government has made every effort to disable patriotic individuals and institutions. Hasina has carried out a brutal massacre in Shapla Chatter and continues to brutally oppress Jamaat-Shibir-BNP-Hefazat activists. Everything has been handed over to India: transit, sea ports, state security, and the economy. All the rest have been looted by the government itself. People have lost their rights; we can’t vote or speak against aggression. Innocent students and unarmed protesters were brutally killed like birds because of their just demands.
By isolating the country from the rest of the world, they are committing genocide. There is no internet, no media, and no updates. Bangladesh is akin to Gaza Valley today. The British killed our ancestors, but they were occupiers. The Pakistanis carried out brutalities, but they were invaders. Now, our own police forces are committing the same atrocities, and they are the bad apples of the country. They are worse than Netanyahu’s IDF because the Israelis did not kill any Israelis.
From October 28, 2006, to July 2024, the country has been torn apart. The Awami League has consistently been India’s accomplice. These misdeeds are supported by a class of so-called intelligentsia, Islam haters, corrupt, greedy, characterless, and mentally deficient individuals.
In 2024, our beloved boys and girls painted the truth of their thoughts with their lives in front of their countrymen. Now is the time to resist, to protect and reform the country. Greetings to you on such a day. This fight will continue until the end, by Allah. “Truth is revealed, lies are obliterated, and defeat of falsehood is inevitable” – Al Qur’an.
