Yet another Regime Change

I Mallikarjuna Sharma

The American imperialists, though become downgraded in their power and influence as the unchallenged single superpower in the world and with the rise of Russia and China the world is becoming more and more multipolar, still tenaciously clinging to their past aspirations and atrocious conduct and are plotting and arranging ‘colour revolutions’ for regime change in various countries of the world and Bangladesh is the latest victim of that.

What happened in Bangladesh is clearly an Islamic fanatic uprising in the guise of and also behind the cover of a widespread student protest. What were the students agitating for? Quotas in employment and other requisite facilities–to whom? Even the horrible Islamic fanatics who opposed the Bangladesh liberation movement and supported and actively colluded with the Pakistani genocidal army in exterminating lakhs of Hindus and freedom-seeking Bengali Muslims during the 1970-71 liberation war times. Sheikh Hasina, whose entire family, including the supreme leader of the liberation movement Sheikh Mujib, were cruelly killed by a dastardly military coup way back in the 1975s and a dirty Islamic fanatic supporter regime, was established for a considerable period which carried out atrocities on the families and supporters of the liberation movement. Fortunately, the Bangladesh people at large later overthrew this regime by peaceful elections and with an overwhelming majority Sheikh Hasina and her led Awami League were brought to power–a historic justice to the betrayed family and party. The American imperialists, who everywhere created or supported Islamic fanatic movements for their ultimate gains and in case of any jolt in that regard again decimated them in all ferocity with high ideals sounding propaganda, the real creators of al-Qaeda and the cannibalistic ISIS, were never happy at this turn of events. Though they pulled on with outward support to Hasina for decades, covertly they nourished, pampered, and raised to elevated positions one Muhammad Yunus–a pro-American at heart but posing as a liberal and people-friendly economist with devising various schemes for the help of poorer sections–and got him to get the Nobel Award even. Also, they were plotting with various disgruntled Islamic fanatic sections of Bangladesh and finally brought forth this coup in Bangladesh under the garb of a student protest uprising. Then they sent this Muhammad Yunus with all honours to head the new government in Bangladesh in the garb of Chief Advisor.

Hasina refused quotas to the Islamic fanatic traitors of Bangladesh and offered to give such quotas to liberation fighters’ families. But when the student protests grew in vigour she even offered to abolish all quotas and consider employment or other facilities only on merit. Even then the already planned-out schemes did not stop and the conspirators finally succeeded in driving her out with the army support or instigation.

After her taking shelter in Delhi, Hasina revealed that all this had been plotted by the US because they were quite sore at her refusal to give them an island near Chittagong on lease to them for the establishment of an American military base. There is not an iota of doubt that what happened in Bangladesh is a blatantly anti-Indian, anti-liberationist Islamic fanatic uprising succeeding by a coup of the military under the garb of a student protest and in no way to be supported by progressives. 

Bangladesh was previously East Bengal where great struggles for the liberation of the motherland from the British imperialists was carried out, and supreme sacrifices were rendered by many youths of both communities for the cause of freedom–e.g. the 1931 Chittagong Uprising and the various ‘terrorist’ actions all over East Bengal and scores of youths embracing gallows, etc..
