ULFA losing support among Assamese, recruiting Bangladeshis

So what our Government is doing to tackle this? Are we waiting for some thing big and disaster happen before we take any action?

It a truth that chief of ULFA’s army wing Paresh Barua is known to have visited Pakistan to seek it assistance in the outfit’s activities, the sources said Pakistani youths were also likely to “very soon” join in the outfit’s activities. And now he and ULFA are recruiting Bangladeshis Poor youths to do terrorist activities on Indian soil. But guess what our government is doing they are in talks with them, opening joint commission to monitor terrorism and terrorist activities, so I guess they will wait till some thing disaster happen before taking any precautionary steps. I still don’t understand why we are so busy in talks when guns are already talking?

Unable to recruit young people from Assam for its operations, the banned ULFA was now recruiting poor Bangladeshi youths into its ranks for acts of terrorism in the country, according to intelligence sources in Kolkata.

“These days, ULFA is finding it difficult to recruit Assamese youth in its ranks. It is now learnt to be recruiting young people from poor families of Bangladesh,” the sources said.

Stating that the chief of ULFA’s army wing Paresh Barua is known to have visited Pakistan to seek it assistance in the outfit’s activities, the sources said Pakistani youths were also likely to “very soon” join in the outfit’s activities.

“In times to come, militancy in Assam will be hijacked by these elements and ULFA will only be a facade and a nominal force tagging along,” the sources said, but declined to disclose how soon they expected this to happen.

At the crossroads of secular tolerance and militant Islam

Bangladesh become Independent nation in December 1971 after India’s Army intervened to end the genocide being inflicted by the Pakistan leaders and its brutal Army on its eastern wing - the Bengali Muslim majority province of East Pakistan. Initial promise of Bangladesh just after declaring Independent nation was to develop secular model where every one can live happily and peacefully has gone in vein, result of this failure Islamic fundamentalisms came on rise, this failure to live up secular model has given way to these fundamentalist to rise. Because of this Islamic fundamentalist rise, many European and Westerns countries showed the concern as Islamic fundamentalist threats are no longer confined to sources from Pakistan, Sudan, Chechnya and Afghanistan. They have started emanating from Bangladesh as a base too. A worrying situation for the world and wake up call for India.

Bangladesh’s eclectic culture is threatened by the conflict that has now erupted into violence on the streets

A country torn by a low-intensity cultural civil war has seen at least 25 people die in this conflict in the last 10 days; its capital city is strewn with overturned cycle rickshaws, rocks and broken glass. A tense and watchful calm has since returned to Dhaka, one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, although sporadic violence continues in some outlying districts.

This is Bangladesh, the country of origin of about 300,000 British people, with the fourth-largest Muslim population in the world. The disturbances at the end of October followed the end of the five-year mandate of the Bangladesh National party and its religious-party allies, Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Oikya Jote. These allies never believed in the existence of Bangladesh; they fought on Pakistan’s side in the 1971 liberation war, in which at least a million Bengalis died.

The cause of the riots was the appointment of the leader of a caretaker government for the three months before elections next January. The president, Iajuddin Ahmed, subsequently assumed leadership of the interim administration. The opposition Awami League has given him until November 10 to “demonstrate his neutrality”; if he fails it will intensify popular demonstrations by the 14-party combine it leads.

Tension mount in India Bangladesh border after Indian youth is murderd cold blooded by Bangladesh security forces

Our government and high officials are too busy in continuing peace process with Pakistan and even with China to sort out some border disputes but no one is giving much needed attention to the problems we are having with Bangladesh at India Bangladesh Border. We hear news about trouble at India’s border with Bangladesh at regular intervals but government doesn’t give much attention to it. Things are getting worse day by day. Hope Indian government will listen this time and Act properly. !!

Indian national Sourav Poddar (26) was allegedly gunned down by Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) jawans at Dakshin Para of Hili border in south Dinajpur on Wednesday, the West Bengal police said.

Police said Sourav, a local resident, was shot at by BDR jawans when he protested against the riflemen, who were pushing some Bangladeshi nationals through the Hili border on Wednesday morning.

The local people immediately rushed to the spot and took the injured youth to Balurghat Sadar hospital. At around 1250 hours, Sourav was declared dead by the hospital authorities.

Reacting to BDR’s intrusion and subsequently firing, the local people protested the “indifferent attitude” of the BSF and demanded immediate security against “foreign invasion”. The BSF’s 57 battalion has been posted at the Hili border.

Sanjit Das, an eyewitness, said although the BSF personnel were posted close to the scene, they did not react to the murder.

Follow me and beat poverty, Nobel winner tells West

This year Nobel Peace Prize winner (Professor Yunus) urged West and Europe to follow his theory and his work to beat poverty all over world. Often know as “World Banker to the poor” has shown the world that poverty can be beaten if its tackle properly. It is totally correct that today’s banking system is only directed towards the benefit of certain group of people because of this conventional system more than two-thirds of population does not qualify for any loan or financial help. Today’s leader urging for free market and even I do support free market but its hard to understand how free market will benefit people in general when two-thirds wont be able to get any benefit. So unless we try to tackle this poverty in third world and find out the ways to help these unprivileged people we can not call our economy system as free system as its not benefiting major portion of our world population. Remember it’s not the fault of poor people that they are poor, but it will be our biggest fault if we don’t help them.

MUHAMMAD YUNUS, this year’s surprise choice for the Nobel Peace Prize, used his award yesterday to make an impassioned appeal to the West to overhaul the way it tackles poverty in the Third World.

Speaking to The Times at the modest headquarters of his Grameen Bank, the Bangladeshi economist urged the international community to adopt his system of microcredit to help to pull the world’s poorest out of destitution.

“It is not the fault of poor people that they are poor,” Professor Yunus said. As he spoke, he was mobbed by colleagues and well-wishers who posed for photographs and brought flowers to his office in Dkaha.

“The banking system is based on collateral and guarantees and we have proved that you can loan money without them. Our microcredit system until today was a sub-system. Now we should be in the mainstream,” the man dubbed the “banker to the poor” said.
