Some of the salvos which landed before the Prime Minister during her meeting with army officials on 1 March at Senakunja


Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's exchange of views with the Army officials at Senakunja has calmed the angry outburst of the officials following the brutal killings in the BDR mutiny at the Peelkhana. She has been able to accomplish such a task as she was the daughter of the Bangabandhu. She has necessary courage to face adverse situation and the BDR mutiny and its aftermath.
Some of the salvos which landed before the Prime Minister was :
(1) Why the character of the Army was assassinated in some of the media?
(2) We came to know that you (Prime Minister) were scheduled to attend a BDR dinner at Peelkhana on February 22. You are advised not to attend the dinner on February 22. Instead you attended it on February 24 just preceding February 25 mutiny. What was the contradiction behind these.
(3) In the Jatiya Sangsad a ruling party MP said, the majors, lieutenants and colonels will see the consequences for their involvement in the persecution of the politicians. If that is so, what punishment she will mete out to the attackers.
(4) The Home Minister rescued a handful of family members of the Army Officials who were taken hostage at the Quarterguard. Hundreds of bereaved family members of the Army officials who were kept confined in the Quarterguard cells remained unattended from anybody from the government side. Their agony was prolonged as the Government functionaries having access at the BDR headquarters during the mutiny remained surrounded by the BDR rebels. The Home Minister left the scene of the mutiny taking only 25 weapons.
(5) The lives of the injured officials could have been saved if timely intervention of the Army and Air Force was allowed.
(6) Who have preached canard against the Army?
(7) It was told that BDR Chief Major General Shakil Ahmed telephoned you to save their lives as they were being attacked by the BDR mutineers. She could not save his life being in the highest executive position of the country.
(8) What would have been the condition of the country after one/eleven if Army was not there and acted timely?
(9) We are being subjected to humiliation by the MPs in the House. What were our faults, ask the aggrieved army officials.
(10) The civilians who brought out procession in support of the rebels must be identified.
(11) We, the 168 Army officials, could not come out from the BDR headquarters during the mutiny but the 7000 mutineers fled the scene on a single night. Who gave them the opportunity to come out from the Peelkhana? You must find them out.
(12) Why the Army was politicised?
(13) An Army official who was denied promotion by his seniors was appointed Deputy Commandant of a certain regiment. Why should there be political intervention in the routine service matters of the army officials.
(14) They demanded thorough inquiry into the intelligence failure to dig out reasons of the mutiny before it broke out. The contents of the view-exchange meeting of the Army officials was transmitted in an audio internet.
