Fifteen-year-old Bangladeshi Hindu girl Purnima Rani Sheel weeps after her horrific experience of being gangraped by terrorists is narrated 19 October 2001 in Dhaka during a press conference. Bangladesh's government 20 Oct 2001 repledged to ensure security of the minority Hindu community who, they say, have been "repressed" and "targetted" because they were judged to be supporters of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed's Awami League, which was battered in the 01 October 2001 general elections by the BNP with a landslide victory.

RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM AND NATIONALISM IN BANGLADESH
By Bertil Lintner

Who is who ?

"Life or death is in the hands of Allah and none can do anything about it. Allah has taken back his creature," philosophised the home minister while visiting the central Badda residence of Marisha Islam Naushin, a 20-month old baby, who was killed in firing on Thursday. The minister told newsmen, "The baby was not the target (of firing). Bullets were fired from the other side of the street. None thought the bullet would hit (the baby) in such a way."

Murder of Ganojyoti Mahasthobir
We strongly condemn this heinous act
- Daily Star

Ganojyoti Mahasthobir died in the early hours on Monday. As he was preparing to go to bed, in came 22 armed men, led by a notorious criminal of the Raozan area in Chittagong, who tied and blindfolded the monk and indiscriminately stabbed him before slitting his throat. Horrendous, we find no word strong enough to deprecate this outrageous act. The motive behind the murder is suspected to range from extortion to possession of some two acres of land where the monastery, home to nearly 100 orphan boys and girls and run with financial assistance from some foreign countries, including Japan and the Netherlands, stands. Some people say that the monk had enraged the thugs by asking them not to while away their time in the monastery compound every evening.

Mohammed Nasim, former home minister. Did he ever think he will be beaten by police? Is he thinking to do renovation in so called British Policing system ?

Governance in crisis

What else if the government itself goes for violating the rules and regulations in running the state affairs. In the worst practice of political persecution, now the BNP-led government is going mad to punish its opponents as part of its game plan. The government not only violated law but also defied court order following the arrest of Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina's special assistant Bahauddin Nasim. Following arrest Nasim placed on police remand and then he was sent to Dhaka Cantonment and was 'severely tortured' there, anything is possible in this country if the party in power wants. As torture marks were visible, the government violated court order by not producing him before it on expiry of his remand and directly sent him to jail - this is how government is running its business. Nasim was arrested on February 28. On the next day, he was taken on a five-day remand from the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court. In its remand order, the CMM's Court also directed police to produce Nasim before it on expiry of the remand. But police violated the court order and kept Nasim for two days more and directly sent him to Dhaka Central Jail. The government committed another violation of law by not allowing Nasim to meet his lawyer after his arrest. Following a High Court order, the jail authorities were compelled to allow his lawyer to meet him after 12 days of his arrest.
