Army Backed Govt: The LOSER

You already know, in the mean time, that Anwar sir was found innocent in one case. The next day, in a similar charge, another judge found (or forced to prove) him guilty! Ridiculous! It was very much expected that the 2nd judgment would follow the first one. Unfortunately, it did not happen!! People think that the whole drama was pre-arranged. Despite our teachers declared before that they wonï¿½t beg any apology for what they have done, a 'mercy petition' was signed by the President immediately after the verdict. It has been reported in todayï¿½s news papers that the ï¿½mercy applicationï¿½ was ready before the verdict was delivered. After their 'Game' is over, they have withdrawn 10 cases against the students and released the teachers immediately. So we now know what Govt was waiting for!! They dared to undermine the honor of the teachers and students. They were, indeed, committed to do so! They are apparently winner (or semi-winner?)! But History will brand them LOSER one day!! History repeats! Unfortunately "Hatu Bahini/Jalpai Bahini" will never learn from it.

However, we feel proud to be a part of the campaign against the illegal arrest and brutal torture by Army Junta on our teachers and students. The DU teachers and students did a fantastic job by driving a peacefull movement against the arresst of their teachers and students.

We are very glad that Anwar sir is back among us. We hope he will play a vital role in building an ï¿½educated nation' in the future. Our expectation from him now is much more than anytime before!

Anwar Sir, we all are proud of you.

At the end, I must thank all of you, Mukto-mona editorial board, the writers and the readers for your continuous support to help release of all our beloved teachers and students from the army prison. I specially want to thank Prof Ajay roy and Avijit Da for your wonderful articles/writings. You (Mukto-Mona) did a fantastic job by gathering intellectual support and pressure from all over the world that undoubtedly accelerated the release of our beloved teachers and students.

LONG LIVE MUKTO-MONA!
