Failed attempts!

The reactionary forces want people to believe that a Hindu extremist, late Yadav, was involved with the Netrokona bombing that killed nine people and injured numerous others. The same reactionary forces put Partha in jail after the August 21st bombing in order to prove that a foreign intelligence agency was trying to destabilise Bangladesh and make the country a failed state.

Expansionist and imperialist forces do indeed try to install puppet governments in order to carry out economic exploitation and militaristic expansion. However it is crystal clear that the recent series of bombings are being perpetrated by the agents of local and foreign reactionary forces who want to enslave the entire populations in the name of religion.

Tireless efforts by members of the civil society (Dr. Kamal Hossain, Barrister Sultana Kamal, Barrister Sara Hossain, to name a few) buttressed by newspaper columns resulted in the release of Partha. In case of late Yadav Saha, they shamelessly went after his dead body in order to mislead people by injecting communal equation in the whole sordid affair. However they failed miserably in their attempts since people in Netrokona in particular and in Bangladesh in general have rejected the stories. Of course, the reactionaries are no different from the reactionaries who want to enslave people in the name of ultra nationalism.

We all hope that progressive forces will be successful in their efforts to stop the authorities from harassing late Yadav's family, defeat the reactionary forces and establish true people's democracy.
