The so called “intelligentsia” in Bangladesh in its sycophancy for the ruling family’s criminal deceased spawns is no less than that of its erstwhile Iraqi counterpart in its adoration for Udai and Qusai. Legacy, you say? Where are the stories of bank loot that Mujib’s son (and Sheikh Hasina’s brother) Kamal was caught for by his own police? What about women he abducted from Dhaka University on regular intervals…including the woman he forcibly married eventually? How about the threats to the players and referees of Dhaka football league whenever a team played the ruling family’s Abahani club (which, by the way, in contravention of all laws and regulations, was ‘dropped’ into First Division of the League without the usual process of going through Pioneer, Third, and Second Divisions)?
Legacy, my a**! How craven even the most craven sycophants can be is most evident on August 15 among the pathetic, parasitic, pathological species called “Bangladeshi intellectuals”, one of whom dutifully writes another pathos filled fawning piece here https://www.dhakatribune.com/opinion/op-ed/2020/08/15/op-ed-the-legacy-of-sheikh-kamal on this anniversary of the end of Sheikh Mujib’s dictatorship in 1975.
Dedicated to the restoration of pluralist, representative, democracy in Bangladesh. I write because they can't speak anymore.
