why is Bangladesh burning in one word bad leadership a government source of power is the people who elects them well not for hassed a league just like George orell's 1984 this classic example fits Bangladesh so perect perly he said there are three parties involved in a [Music] country group a is the one in Power Group B is the opposition who wants to topple the government and gets into the power and Group C the mass people who are the victims of this power Struggle No Matter who is in power both A and B exploit C to get to the power but C's Fortune never changes without going into too much details I'll simplify the context for [Music] you there are two main parties in Bangladesh Bangladesh nationalist party BNP and Bangladesh a league Bal BNP won the 2001 election and formed a government during their tenure 2001 and 5 they have committed extreme corruption especially the then prime minister Khaled aia's son Tark Rahman it became a necessity for an emergency situation where the Army took over and formed an interim government from 2006 to 8 jailing both shika and Khaled AIA for causing all the unrest in the country then when they held an election in 2008 people only had one option to choose from because they were already fed up with BNP aam League took charge and changed the constitution in their favor so that even an army can't hold an emergency situation in the future she also changed the rule of the game to undertake election under a caretaker government instead from now on the election will be undertaken by her the ruling party the problem is that a league has committed 10 times more corruption than before nepotism and election fraud during their tenor so no other political party had any Trust on them to go into an election under their ruling sh's Coalition won 288 of 3 seats in Parliament in Sunday's vot but the election was tarnished by violence as well as accusations of vote rigging and voter suppression opposition leader Kamal Hussein has called for new elections both the ruling party and the opposition reported attacks on their supporters and candidates over a dozen people were killed on during violence on the election it wasn't even funny the way all the ballot boxes were bought pre-filled by the ruling party's favor firstly you are not allowed to go and cast your own vote but even if you did it was already casted by somebody else the night before the election BBC reports one of its correspondents saw full ballot boxes before polls even open an MP complain where is the vote I casted for myself he got zero vote foreign foreign speech speech the whole system has turned into a meme which wasn't even funny anymore so the awami league has been holding on to power like leeches since 2008 abolishing any type of opposition party using extreme forces especially their main opponent BNP using funny cases it has been a dictatorship and heavily act by India especially the Modi government Bangladesh has become modi's experimental ground a pilot project a labat he would go on to try the same in India based on the outcome of This research on Bangladesh although the Bangladesh forces including the Army is ran by hina's obedient goons such as general Aziz who was exposed by Al jazer as all the prime minister's men besides that their primary force is another state sponsored terrorist organization named chatro League or student League who are heavily armed funded by the government and so wild a group of organized thugs in the mafia state of Bangladesh in a country where you have armed forces these guys were given the license to Kill whenever somebody speaks up against the government and they do it so openly wearing a helmet hina's government has also bought all the modern spyware including Pegasus from Israel so that they can do a mass surveillance over its own people any kind of online post message speech that criticize or leaks their corruption gets picked and killed without any judicial process in bang at that point my interest was in making sure that someone knew that this was happening to me so I resisted I screamed eventually I got taken in to a van waiting downstairs handcuffed blindfolded uh and taken away um I was in I didn't know where I was taken to but once I got there I was interrogated tortured and uh the you say they tortured you yes they they beat you they I was hit uh I was bleeding uh I was blindfolded so I couldn't see see what was actually being done uh and uh blood was dripping down from my face from my nose and mouth onto my clothes um and I was also you know uh they they threatened me with water boarding they told me it would get a lot worse they talked about pins they threatened that they would um it would get a lot worse and that my partner would also get her there are countless such examples to instill fear into the people's heart and one of the architect behind this was the then police igp benzer if you search about him online you'll be amazed how much of an Empire he built just for being so obedient like a dog to the PM recently shik Casina had a slip of tongue on live television she said that even her clerk made 3.5 million us [Music] Al later she said she took steps but nobody knows what steps she took against [Music] it anyway while such corruption has crippled 99% of the population that 1% has become so filthy rich that the GDP of Bangladesh looks so ironic commodity prices have gone beyond all the limits unemployment and nepotism downfall of the education system which primarily focuses on producing obedient ships the country has been in turmoil for over a decade now however to justify her dictatorship she did some some cosmetic developments by developing some roads Bridges and Metro rails so that she can show this whoever visits Bangladesh but you'll see the real picture of Bangladesh if you look at the foreign Reserve it's almost empty the loan is Sky High and the whole development bubble is almost about to burst that money is no longer in Bangladesh it is being transferred to their Swiss accounts or invested on private properties around the world so that when Bangladesh sinks they can safely abandon the ship and live happily ever after in some Tropical Paradise the sufferers will be the people and they're afraid that in such State a foreign country might take over Bangladesh the news that you're hearing about Bangladesh which states about the Kota movement is incomplete without the context given here this movement was a recolle ction of all the discrimination and frustration that sparked over the years similar incident happened in 2018 when school children demanded Road Safety a very basic request anyone can ask for it's sparked by a similar remarked by the road and communication Minister after two school kids were killed while they were waiting inside the bus stop it involved some government policies that were responsible for the drivers to drive so recklessly to compete for passengers the aam league government didn't think twice to unleash their chatral leag goons and thugs onto the school children in the fear that it might turn into a widespread anti-fascist movement that's a common problem with the unpopular dictators that they think everyone is their opponent if you are concerned about Bangladesh you may already have heard about all the details about the Kota system and the movement those are all over with the news now but what they might not tell you is how the people of Bangladesh feels oppressed and how it breaks their heart to see how an autocratic regime can take hundreds of innocent lives for nothing it's only her arrogance and ego that's responsible a very logical demand is being insulted and called rajakar or traitors indirectly towards those who demand a fair opportunity for job and admission into public institutions she is against it because she wants her own thugs to be systematically placed everywhere in the country to hold on to her power as of today she declared a curfew against her own people after already taking hundreds of lives she did order a Sho to kill since day one of the protest this could be very easily avoided with some dialogues instead she chose to suppress it using extreme forces videos and photos emerged online showing how brutally the police and the terrorist student League are killing and enduring students including girls [Applause] [Music] and she has cut off the country from the whole world by turning off the internet and any kind of communication in 2024 or can you believe that you wouldn't see the videos of Gaza if Israel had gone that far irrespective of the outcome of these atrocities by the psychopathic bloodthirsty crime Minister whether she succeeds in holding on to power or not she will go down in history as one of the worst dictators of all time for her Everlasting greed of power she has lost all the credibilities to run a country a long time ago despite all these her followers would argue that where's an alternative well my friend if your house is on fire you don't think about an alternative house right you have to abandon that Bangladesh is full of supremely talented people and there are honest leaders within them today or tomorrow it has to end if you are still afraid of not speaking up against the mafia Queen well shame on you it's better to leave one day like a lion than living a thousand years like a ship so come on take the streets join the movement to abolish all the corrupt parties and leaders who failed us over the years form a new leadership and create a prosperous Bangladesh this is the land of gold and has immense potential to grow into a major Powerhouse all we need is a good leader to lead us like a father not like an angry monster
