From 1 April 2004, a new type of state repression began to take place. At first,
it began as a religious fanatical militant repression, under the security
coverage of the Police, RAB1 , and BDR. The terror was perpetrated by the
fanatical group named JMB2 , which is the changed name of the previously banned
organization, Jama-atul Mujahedin, Bangladesh (JMB). After the end of this
(Islamic) repression, the RAB carried it on.
What did JMB & RAB do?
They abducted people, tortured them in various medieval ways, handicapped them,
and killed them. They tortured around 2,000 people, among them, more than 500
people became handicapped, and more than 50 people were killed. Among the dead,
more than 25 are the cadres of the CPEB(ML) Red Flag.
After 5 to 6 months, from September 2004, the Govt. ordered the already deployed
RAB to start their terror. All of the ongoing activities are taking place to
eliminate the anti-imperialist, anti feudal (patriotic-democratic) revolutionary
forces. The RAB is formed and especially trained by a demoralized army, the BDR,
under direct supervision of the US FBI. Though they have been especially trained
to grab the armed communist revolutionaries, yet in the beginning, the RAB first
started to grab the most wanted criminals. The ruling class parties (AL, BNB,
and JP etc) had previously backed those criminals. The RAB simply arrested them,
tortured them until death, or killed them by firing bullets at them from
point-blank range. In each case, they declared in the media that: During
interrogation the criminals, who disclosed the source of some illegal arms were
killed in the cross-fire, after they started searching for the arms. They
claimed that on the way, his fellow criminals opened fire upon the RAB, and for
self-defense purposes, they replied the firing in which the criminal was shot
dead. Some arms and ammunition were found abandoned near by the dead body. This
is the common story put out in every case of the more than 500 ‘cross fire’
killings within less than one year. The only differences in the stories are
name, place, and amount & type of abandoned weapons ‘seized’, which are usually
out of order. For 5 to 6 months, they killed only the criminals, all of whom
were hated by the people. Due to the killings the image of the RAB increased
enormously, most people were pleased with these actions, and the RAB became
heroes. The FBI & RAW expected this, when they had plotted this plan.
After gaining this prestige, they started to grab most of the
patriotic-democratic revolutionary political cadres of various parties. From the
onset of the killing of political cadre, a few intellectuals started to express
their opinion against this in the media. Seeing this some fake anti-imperialist
intellectuals also started to express their opinion against this ‘cross fire’,
but their opinions differ from that of the real anti-imperialists. They are not
against the killing of revolutionaries, but they want the killing should happen
after a farcical judgment.
The
Cause behind it:
Due to the rise of China in the capital market, the US Imperialists face a new
threat. Because of this threat, the US Imperialists wants to place a military
base in South Asia. Cent Martin Island of Bangladesh is strategically and
geo-politically important for this purpose. Not to antagonise India in
fulfilling this purpose, the CIA & FBI ploted a plan with RAW. They placed three
points of interest: 1) Release of Cent Martin Island for a US Military Base; 2)
Selling of natural gas to India; 3) Establishment of a Free Port in Bangladesh
and allowing a transit route from the mainland of India to the north-east of
India, through Bangladesh.
These three points of interest were previously placed in front of the Awami
League Govt. However, they were dilly-dallying to pass this proposal and shifted
it to the BNP Govt. The BNP Govt. also has been playing the same game.
On the other hand, the CIA-FBI-RAW pact became death defying; they had carried
out the 21 August Grenade Attack, with the help of the DGFI3 & AI4 of
Bangladesh. After the attack, Harry K Tomas personally met Hasina & Khaleda and
gave them separate messages. For Hasina, the message was, "If she disagrees
with these three points of interest and begin to organize any movement against
it, the next grenade will fall on her truck, not besides that, like on 21 August."
For Khaleda the message was, "If she disagrees with the proposal and doesn’t
sign the agreement or continues dilly-dallying to sign it, the story of
Khaleda’s responsibility in the Grenade Attack will be disclosed in the media
with proof". So both of them started to capitulate to the demands, under the
pressure of the invisible threads fastened to the fingers of the US
Imperialists.
Within a month all, the agreements were signed: 1) The Bangladesh Govt.
already declared to evacuate the Cent Martin Island for a military base under
the banner of an eco-park and tourist spot. 2) The Bangladesh Govt. signed a 20
years gas selling agreement with Ratan Tata and a three-country gas pipeline
treaty also in the process of immediate signing. The plot is that, natural gas
of Bangladesh will get circulated through the pipeline. 3) A Free Port Agreement
was also signed, and transit route for the Indians tactfully given under the
name of a double-entry visa.
After the killing of Mofakhkharul Islam Choudhury, the secretary of the CPEB
(ML), a significant polarization began to take place. Most of the
Anti-Imperialist Anti-Feudal Intellectuals began to realize the situation that
the wealth and sovereignty of our country and state is now under serious threat.
Only the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal revolutionary forces can organize the
masses and can lead them to an anti-Imperialist anti-feudal revolutionary
movement. The reactionary gang-stars fear only the organized & armed people, but
they know without the organizing effort of the anti-Imperialist anti-feudal
revolutionary forces the masses cannot get organized for the armed struggle.
That is why they are killing the revolutionary forces directly, even without any
farce of judgment.
We developed some irregular guerilla squads. Those squads, with the help of
participation of the armed people (in a very small scale), performed some
glorious guerilla actions. When our revolutionary movement reached the eve of
formation of mass-organization mass-movement, peoples’ militia, and regular
guerilla forces, exactly at that time, the new type of state repression took
place under the guidance of the CIA-FBI & RAW.
In the process some organisers (from district to cell level) were martyred.
Among the Losses the Gains are:
Inspite of the repression the spreading of our organizational boundary has not
stopped. The Party organization has already spread to more districts. In this
strategic defensive stage of the revolutionary warfare, to resist a hugely
stronger enemy, firstly, we started to retreat and move around for circling the
enemy camps. Then we started to take preparations to counter attack the
well-equipped enemy force. In the process of retreat, most of the forces of our
party (the Organizers, Political Commissars, and Guerilla Commanders etc.) have
taken their places in the retreat places; from there they began to strike back.
Our guerilla squads firstly targeted the eyes and ears of the RAB. The Govt.
sanctioned had Tk.115/- crore, as source money. By the help of this money, the
RAB already established a secret organization as its source informers. Our
guerilla squads began to annihilate source organizers and important sources.
