			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>একটা ফোন পেয়ে মন খারাপ হয়ে গেল। আগামী মাসের দ্বিতীয় সপ্তাহে আমার আব্বা তার চাকরি থেকে অবসর নেবেন। আব্বা বেসরকারি একটি হাই স্কুলের সহকারী প্রধান শিক্ষক। বেসরকারি হাই স্কুলে এতদিন সহকারী প্রধান শিক্ষকের আলাদা কোনো বেতন স্কেল ছিলনা। খুব সম্ভবত গত বছরই একবার বাসায় যাওয়ার পর আব্বা আমাকে নতুন গ্রেডের আদেশ দেখিয়েছিলেন। কিন্তু ক’দিন পরই শুনি, <span id="more-839"></span>ওই আদেশের বিরূদ্ধে আদালতে রিট করেছেন শিক্ষাজীবনে তৃতীয় শ্রেণী পাওয়া কয়েকজন শিক্ষক। কারণ ওই আদেশে তৃতীয় শ্রেণীধারীদের সহকারী প্রধান শিক্ষকের প্রাপ্য গ্রেড পাওয়ার সুযোগ ছিলনা।</p>
<p>এরপর অনেক দিন কেটে গেল। আজ সন্ধ্যায় আব্বার সঙ্গে কথা বলার সময় বেশ চিন্তিত মনে হলো। পরে জানলাম, কয়েকজন সহকারী প্রধান শিক্ষক নতুন গ্রেড পেয়েছেন। কিন্তু তার নাম এখনো আসেনি। আর আগামী মাসের প্রথম সপ্তাহের মধ্যে যদি না আসে তাহলে হয়তো আর কোনো দিনই পাবেননা। এর প্রভাব পড়বে পেনশনের নামে সামান্য যা কিছু পাবেন তার ওপরও।</p>
<p>আম্মার কাছে শুনলাম, প্রাপ্য নতুন গ্রেডের সুবিধা পাওয়ার জন্য কয়েক দফায় জেলা শিক্ষা অফিসে টাকা দিতে হয়েছে। তা নাহলে ফাইল কোনো দিন শিক্ষাভবনে আসবেনা।</p>
<p>এদেশে একজন মানুষের প্রাপ্তি আর কতই বা হতে পারে। শিক্ষকতা শেষ করার পর এককালীন প্রাপ্য অর্থের জন্যও ঘুষ দিতে হয়। নইলে ফাইল নড়েনা। আমরা কীইবা করতে পারি।</p>
<p>এমপিওভুক্তির জন্য মাননীয় শিক্ষামন্ত্রীর তৈরি করা তালিকা নিয়ে জাতীয় সংসদে বিষেদগার হয়েছে। বলা হয়েছে, এটা আওয়ামী লীগের স্কুল, ওটা বিএনপির স্কুল, জামাতের স্কুল। সংসদ সদস্যরা ডিও লেটার দিয়েছেন।</p>
<p>মাননীয় সংসদ সদস্যরা কি জানেননা একজন শিক্ষক কত প্রতীক্ষার সঙ্গে এমপিও ভুক্তির জন্য অপেক্ষা করেন। মনে হয় জানেন, কিন্তু অনুধাবন করেননা।</p>
<p>এ অবস্থা চলতে থাকলে আওয়ামী লীগ সরকার ক্ষমতায় আসলে তার সমর্থনপুষ্ট শিক্ষকরা এমপিরওভুক্ত হবেন। বিএনপির সময় বিএনপির শিক্ষকরা। আর যারা রাজনীতি করবেননা বা রাজনীতিরা মোড়কে চলবেননা তাদের কোনো প্রাপ্তি থাকবেনা।</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 405px"><img src="http://www.hrw.org/en/sites/default/files/imagecache/crop-658x250/2011_Bangladesh_RAB_BD.jpg" alt="" width="395" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Members of Rapid Action Battalion</p></div>
<p>The <a href="http://www.bangladesh.gov.bd/" target="_blank">Bangladeshi government</a> is failing to keep its commitment to end extrajudicial killings, torture and other abuses by the <a href="http://www.rab.gov.bd/" target="_blank">Rapid Action Battalion (RAB)</a> and hold those responsible accountable, <a href="http://www.hrw.org/" target="_blank">Human Rights Watch (HRW)</a> said in a new report today. <a href="http://china.hrw.org/profile/brad_adams_0" target="_blank">Brad Adams</a>, the Director (Asia) of HRW said, after two years in office, the government has had more than enough time to take action to stop the RAB&#8217;s murderous practices. A death squad is roaming the streets of Bangladesh and the government does not appear to be doing anything to stop it. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina needs to act.<span id="more-831"></span></p>
<p>The 53-page report, &#8220;‘Crossfire&#8217;: Continued Human Rights Abuses by Bangladesh&#8217;s Rapid Action Battalion&#8221; documents abuses by RAB in and around Dhaka, the capital, under the current <a href="http://www.albd.org/autoalbd/index.php" target="_blank">Awami League</a>-led government. Nearly 200 people have been killed in RAB operations since January 6, 2009, when the government assumed office. While in opposition the Awami League promised to end extrajudicial killings, but since it came to office senior government officials have denied that RAB has committed abuses, and some have even justified them.</p>
<p>The report builds on the 2006 Human Rights Watch report, &#8220;Judge, Jury, and Executioner: Torture and Extrajudicial Killings by Bangladesh&#8217;s Elite Security Force.&#8221; It is based on over 80 interviews with victims, witnesses, human rights defenders, journalists, law enforcement officials, lawyers, and judges.</p>
<p>Although the government has made many commitments to end the killings and to punish perpetrators, no RAB officer or official has ever been prosecuted for a &#8220;crossfire&#8221; killing or other human rights abuse. &#8220;Crossfire&#8221; is a blanket term used to justify most of the unit&#8217;s killings.</p>
<p>The government should either make major steps towards RAB accountability and reform in the next six months or disband it, Human Rights Watch said. Donors such as the US, United Kingdom, and Australia should immediately withdraw all assistance and cooperation until and unless dramatic improvements take place.</p>
<p>RAB was formed in March 2004 as a composite force comprising members from the military -army, air force, and navy &#8211; the police, and members of Bangladesh&#8217;s other law enforcement groups. Members are assigned from their parent organizations, to which they return after serving with the unit. RAB operates under the Ministry of Home Affairs and is commanded by an officer not below the rank of deputy inspector general of the police or the equivalent military rank. The unit is regarded as an elite counter terrorism force and indeed has targeted, apart from criminal suspects, alleged members of militant Islamist or left-wing groups.</p>
<p>In often standardized press statements, the unit claims that criminals were shot and killed in &#8220;crossfire&#8221; after they or their accomplices opened fire on RAB. Investigations by Human Rights Watch and Bangladeshi human rights organizations have found, however, that many victims have been executed while in the unit&#8217;s custody. Bodies of those killed have often carried marks indicating that they had been tortured. Many people who survived periods in the unit&#8217;s custody have alleged that they were tortured there.</p>
<p>In one recent case, on March 3, RAB personnel in civilian clothes picked up Rasal Ahmed Bhutto while he was minding a friend&#8217;s shop in Dhaka. Bhutto&#8217;s brother-in-law, Gulam Mustafa, told Human Rights Watch that one of their relatives in the army was able to contact colleagues in RAB and extract a promise that Bhutto would not be killed in &#8220;crossfire.&#8221; However, on March 10, Gulam Mustafa said, Bhutto was brought to the area where he lived in a vehicle belonging to the unit and was shot and killed. RAB summoned journalists to show the body of an alleged criminal killed in crossfire.</p>
<p>&#8220;They brought him and committed cold-blooded murder,&#8221; Mustafa told Human Rights Watch.</p>
<p>Members of the Awami League were victims of RAB while in opposition, and senior party officials contended that it engaged in politically motivated killings. But the impunity the unit has enjoyed since it was established continues under the Awami League government.</p>
<p>Echoing their predecessors in the BNP-led government, the home minister and other government representatives deny any wrongdoing by the unit and other law enforcement agencies. Instead, they cling to the fiction that all of those killed were shot by authorities acting in self defense.</p>
<p>In March 2009, for example, Law Minister Shafique Ahmed told Human Rights Watch that the government had no intention of investigating allegations of past human rights abuses by security forces, even though the perpetrators remained in the unit&#8217;s ranks and would be likely to continue their illegal methods. Ahmed said that even though he did not condone &#8220;crossfire&#8221; killings, it should be remembered that RAB had only killed &#8220;criminals.&#8221; In May 2010, despite numerous reports by human rights groups, the minister said that, &#8220;No more crossfire incidents are taking place in the country.&#8221;</p>
<p>Home Minister Sahara Khatun, whose ministry supervises the unit, said in January 2011 in response to allegations of rising extrajudicial executions: &#8220;Many people are talking and will talk about this. But as the home minister, I am saying that the law enforcers&#8217; task is to bring the criminals to the book.&#8221; When asked about allegations by Human Rights Watch on continuing extrajudicial killings, she said: &#8220;What will the law enforcers do &#8211; save themselves or die &#8211; when criminals open fire on them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Port and Shipping Minister Shajahan Khan has said that crossfire killings are not human rights violations and that such killings have helped to bring extortion and other crimes under control.</p>
<p>Disappointingly, the government has not renounced any of these comments, Human Rights Watch said. Awami League officials have consistently argued that they do not need to root out abusers because they could exercise effective political control over the battalion, a claim that is belied by the evidence during the government&#8217;s more than two years in office.</p>
<p>In a worrying development, RAB has recently begun to carry out enforced disappearances. Bangladeshi human rights groups say that it has started killing people without acknowledging any role in their deaths.</p>
<p>Human Rights Watch said that after seven years of widespread abuses and more than 700 deaths, if the unit&#8217;s human rights record does not improve dramatically within the next six months and abusers are not prosecuted, the Bangladeshi government should disband it. In its place the government should create a new unit within the police or a new institution that puts human rights at its core to lead the fight against serious and organized crime and terrorism. Neither RAB nor any new force created should draw its forces from the military, which has a different operating culture than a civilian police force, Human Rights Watch said.</p>
<p>The US, UK, and Australia should insist that the Bangladesh government follow through on its commitments and ensure that there are prompt, impartial, and independent investigations into torture and deaths in the custody of the unit, Human Rights Watch said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Instead of an elite law enforcement unit designed to control crime and terrorism, RAB has become a deadly law breaker,&#8221; said Adams. &#8220;It is now fair to ask whether the government has any intention of addressing this scourge.&#8221;</p>
<p>Selected Testimony from the Report</p>
<p>&#8220;I asked them how much money they got to kill my son and told them that they could kill me in crossfire as well. One RAB officer then grabbed my neck and said, ‘Get out of here, bitch. If you don&#8217;t shut up, people here will kill you.&#8217; I asked him what he was doing there and if it was not his job to protect me. He then calmed down, asked me to leave and said that I could collect Pappu&#8217;s body at Mitford hospital.&#8221; -Mother of Azad Hussein Pappu, killed by RAB on February 28, 2010</p>
<p>&#8220;The media was already there and RAB kept saying that Bhutto had been caught in a special operation. I started shouting at them, saying maybe Bhutto had done some bad things but where is the rule of law, how dare RAB kill Bhutto. The RAB officers just stared at me and said nothing, which frightened me. And then although some people supported me, a local Awami League leader came out and started raising slogans saying that Bhutto was a criminal anyway&#8230; RAB then took the body away for the autopsy. When I went to collect the body, I saw that there was only one bullet inside his ear. The police made me sign a blank sheet of paper. I didn&#8217;t want to do it but then I just gave in.&#8221;- Gulam Mustafa, recounts the scene at the killing of a close relative.</p>
<p>I was blindfolded and my hands were tied. I was forced to sit down. Four men in civilian clothes beat my legs with sugar cane stalks, while a man in RAB uniform sat on a chair watching. My legs were swollen like pillows. &#8211; Baby Akhtar recounts her torture by RAB.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>&#8216;In the name of God the merciful, the compassionate, citizens, during these very difficult circumstances Egypt is going through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down from the office of president of the republic and has charged the high council of the armed forces to administer the affairs of the country. May God help everybody.&#8217;</div>
<div>The words of the Egyptian Vice President <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Suleiman" target="_blank">Omar Suleiman</a> was simple and expected. As I can remember BBC presenter was saying &#8216;The rule of 30 years has come to the end by 50 words&#8217;.<span id="more-826"></span></div>
<p>The fourth and fifth topic of <a href="http://twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>&#8216;s world trend list is now about <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=Egypt" target="_blank">Egypt</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=Mubarak" target="_blank">Mubarak</a>. People of this world have discovered the power of Social Media in last few weeks. From Tunisia the revolution of social media has reached to Egypt and peaceful revolution is now complete by stepping down of President <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosni_Mubarak" target="_blank">Hosni Mubarak</a>.<br />
According to media report, Mubarak&#8217;s administration tried to restrict the use of social media site like Twitter. I have read this in a blog where the blogger also wrote about the ways to get access of Twitter even when Mubarak&#8217;s administration was not allowing that.</p>
<div>Several days ago I was discussing the reason of Middle East unrest with the experts and academics of our country. There was a common idea about Tunisia that leaked cables had fueled and increased people&#8217;s anger. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media" target="_blank">Social media</a> had carried the message not only about misrule but also about the way to get rid from that.</div>
<div>I asked the experts about the probable affect of Middle East in Bangladesh. I wrote a report that Bangladesh was not in risk to be directly affected. I should mention here that our opposition leader is threating our government to learn lesson from Middle East unrest. Former Foreign Secretary Shamsher Mubin Chowdhury and Dr. Delwar Hossain, Professor and Head of the International Relationship Department of Dhaka University also said, &#8216;Those governments who do not have the good record of democratic practice should learn the necessity from the unrest.&#8217;</div>
<div>But M Waliur Rahman, former Ambassador thinks that the ruling system of Egypt is different with Bangladesh. We have a democratic and elected government. So there is no chance to be affected.</div>
<div>I asked about the probable affect of Middle East turmoil in bilateral relationship and labor market. Mr. Chowder, Hossain and Rahman- all said, &#8216;there is no chance to be affected by Egypt scenario&#8217;. One of them expressed concern about the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood" target="_blank">Muslim Brotherhood</a>. But tonight when media is telling that Egyptian Army command is in power, then we should hope that it will be just only for a limited time. We should expect that army will help the people to get their long expected democracy and freedom.</div>
<div>
<p>But so far, the fall of Mubarak&#8217;s regime is the wicket number two, if the first one is Tunisia. And credit should go to Social Media.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was reading a political commentary this morning. I found it in a news website and it was written by journalist, leader of journalist community. I followed the recent political incidents. But I was eager to know the analysis of that journalist. I read the analysis and read the readers&#8217; comments also.<span id="more-821"></span><br />
I do not understand, why a journalist will play the role of a politician. The readers of that article also raised that question. A reader wrote, &#8216;there are so many  so-called journalists in this country. The writer is one of them&#8217;.<br />
Yes, the journalists will loose their neutrality. It is too bad.</p>

<p>মেহেদী হাসান</p>
<div><ins><ins></ins></ins></div>
<p>বিশ্বের সব দেশের নাগরিককে ভিসা ছাড়াই ভ্রমণের সুযোগ দিতে ইকুয়েডর সরকার  যে &#8216;খোলা দরজা নীতি&#8217; (ওপেন ডোর পলিসি) গ্রহণ করেছিল, তা থেকে বাদ দেওয়া  হয়েছে বাংলাদেশিদের। মানব পাচার রোধে সম্প্রতি ইকুয়েডর সরকার এ পদক্ষেপ  নিয়েছে বলে জানা গেছে। বাংলাদেশ ছাড়াও আরো আটটি দেশ (আফগানিস্তান,  ইরিত্রিয়া, ইথিওপিয়া, কেনিয়া, নেপাল, নাইজেরিয়া, পাকিস্তান) এ কালো তালিকায়  রয়েছে। এর ফলে দক্ষিণ আমেরিকা মহাদেশের &#8216;ভিসামুক্ত&#8217; এ দেশে যেতে হলে কালো  তালিকাভুক্ত ৯টি দেশের নাগরিকদের ভিসা নিতে হবে। বাংলাদেশে ইকুয়েডর  প্রজাতন্ত্রের কোনো দূতাবাস না থাকায় দেশটিতে যেতে আগ্রহী বাংলাদেশিদের  সমস্যা আরো তীব্র হওয়ার আশঙ্কা রয়েছে। বিশ্বের বিভিন্ন দেশে ইকুয়েডর  দূতাবাসের ওয়েবসাইটে ওই দেশের সরকারের ভিসাবিষয়ক সাম্প্রতিক এ সিদ্ধান্তের  খবর প্রকাশিত হয়েছে। সেখান থেকে এ তথ্য জানা গেছে।<span id="more-816"></span><br />
যুক্তরাষ্ট্রে ইকুয়েডর দূতাবাসের ওয়েবসাইটে বলা হয়েছে, ইকুয়েডর সরকারের  মাইগ্রেশন ও কনস্যুলার অ্যাফেয়ার্সবিষয়ক আন্ডার সেক্রেটারি লিওনার্দো  ক্যারিওন বলেছেন, ৯টি দেশ থেকে আসা অভিবাসীর সংখ্যা উল্লেখযোগ্য হারে বেড়ে  যাওয়ার বিষয়টি নিশ্চিত হওয়ার পরই ইকুয়েডরকে ট্রানজিট করে তৃতীয় কোনো দেশে  যাওয়া ঠেকাতে এ সিদ্ধান্ত নেওয়া হয়েছে। নতুন এ সিদ্ধান্তের পরও দেশগুলোর  সঙ্গে ইকুয়েডরের সম্পর্ক স্বাভাবিক থাকবে বলে লিওনার্দো ক্যারিওন মনে করেন।<br />
জানা গেছে, ভিসা ছাড়া প্রবেশাধিকারের সুযোগ নিয়ে বিভিন্ন দেশ থেকে ইকুয়েডরে  মানব পাচার বেড়েছে। এ ছাড়া ইকুয়েডরে যাওয়া অভিবাসীরা শরণার্থী হিসেবে  স্বীকৃতি পাওয়ার জন্য আবেদনের পাশাপাশি অবৈধভাবে যুক্তরাষ্ট্র, স্পেনসহ  ইউরোপের বিভিন্ন দেশে যাওয়ার চেষ্টা করে। তাই ইকুয়েডরের খোলা দরজা নীতির  সুবিধা সব দেশকে দেওয়ার ব্যাপারে ভুক্তভোগী দেশগুলোর আপত্তি ছিল। এটিই  ইকুয়েডর সরকারকে বাংলাদেশসহ মোট ৯টি দেশকে খোলা দরজা নীতির বাইরে রাখার  ব্যাপারে সিদ্ধান্ত নিতে উৎসাহী করেছে বলে মনে করা হচ্ছে।<br />
বাংলাদেশের নাগরিকদের জন্য ইকুয়েডরের ভিসা বাধ্যতামূলক করা প্রসঙ্গে ঢাকায়  পররাষ্ট্র মন্ত্রণালয়ের এক কর্মকর্তা বলেন, প্রতিটি দেশেরই নিজেদের ভিসা  ব্যবস্থা নিয়ে সিদ্ধান্ত নেওয়ার অধিকার আছে। তবে অনেক সময় বাস্তবতার নিরিখে  সিদ্ধান্ত নেওয়া হয় না। এ বছর যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের পররাষ্ট্র দপ্তর প্রকাশিত  মানব পাচারবিষয়ক বার্ষিক প্রতিবেদনে বাংলাদেশকে ঝুঁকিপূর্ণ হিসেবে আখ্যায়িত  করার পর মানব পাচার ঠেকাতে বাস্তবসম্মত কর্মপরিকল্পনা নেওয়ার অনুরোধ  জানিয়ে পররাষ্ট্র মন্ত্রণালয়ের পক্ষ থেকে স্বরাষ্ট্র মন্ত্রণালয়কে অনুরোধ  করা হয়েছে।<br />
ইকুয়েডর সরকারের এ সিদ্ধান্তের ব্যাপারে ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের আন্তর্জাতিক  সম্পর্ক বিভাগের অধ্যাপক ইমতিয়াজ আহমেদ বলেন, জীবিকার তাগিদে মানুষ অন্য  দেশে যাবে, এটাই স্বাভাবিক। এ ক্ষেত্রে দেশে চাকরির সুযোগ বাড়াতে সরকারকে  উদ্যোগ নিতে হবে। এটি দীর্ঘমেয়াদি ব্যাপার। তবে অবৈধভাবে বিদেশে যাওয়া বা  মানব পাচার ঠেকাতে সরকারকে এখনই উদ্যোগ নিতে হবে। এটি করতে পারলে  বাংলাদেশের ব্যাপারে সন্দেহ থাকবে না। এ ক্ষেত্রে তিনি চীনের উদাহরণ দিয়ে  বলেন, প্রায় ২০ বছর আগেও চীনের নাগরিকদের জন্য বিশ্বের বিভিন্ন দেশের দরজা  বন্ধ হয়ে আসছিল। কিন্তু ব্যাপক উন্নয়ন ও কর্মসংস্থান সৃষ্টির ফলে এখন চীনের  নাগরিকদের ব্যাপারে আর কারো আপত্তি নেই।</p>

বাণিজ্য মন্ত্রণালয়ের যুগ্ম সচিব (এফটিএ) ড. এম রুহুল আমিন সরকার কালের কণ্ঠকে বলেন, &#8216;যৌথ বাণিজ্য কমিশনের বৈঠক হবে ব্যবসা-বাণিজ্যকেন্দ্রিক। দুই দেশের ব্যবসা-বাণিজ্যসংশ্লিষ্ট প্রতিনিধিরা এতে যোগ দেবেন। বৈঠকে বাংলাদেশের পক্ষ থেকে ব্যবসা-বাণিজ্যসংশ্লিষ্ট বিভিন্ন ইস্যু যেমন ব্যবসায়ীদের জন্য ভিসা, সরাসরি ঋণপত্র (এলসি) চালু, সীমান্ত বাণিজ্য, কৃষিকাজে সহযোগিতাসহ বিভিন্ন বিষয় তোলা। এ ছাড়া বিদ্যুৎ ঘাটতি মোকাবিলায় মিয়ানমার থেকে বিদ্যুৎ আনার বিষয়েও আলোচনা হতে পারে।&#8217;<br />
তিনি জানান, বাংলাদেশের ওষুধ মিয়ানমারে রপ্তানির ব্যাপারে একটি সমঝোতা স্মারক সইয়ের চেষ্টা চালানো হবে। এ ব্যাপারে ইতিবাচক সাড়া পেলে মিয়ানমারের প্রতিনিধিদলকে দু-একটি ওষুধ কারখানা পরিদর্শন করতেও নিয়ে যাওয়া হতে পারে। এ ছাড়া আগামী বৃহস্পতিবার ঢাকায় মেট্রোপলিটন চেম্বার অব কমার্সের সঙ্গেও প্রতিনিধিদলের আলোচনার কথা রয়েছে।<br />
জানা গেছে, বাণিজ্য সচিবের নেতৃত্বে বৈঠকে মিয়ানমারকে বাংলাদেশ থেকে আমদানি বাড়ানোর অনুরোধ জানানো হবে। বর্তমানে দুই দেশের ব্যাংকগুলোর মধ্যে সরাসরি ঋণপত্র খোলার সুযোগ না থাকায় উভয় দেশের আমদানি-রপ্তানিকারকদের সমস্যায় পড়তে হয়। এ ছাড়া মিয়ানমার ইন্টারন্যাশনাল চেম্বার অব কমার্সের সদস্য নয় এবং দেশটি তার বৈদেশিক লেনদেন সম্পর্কিত বিধিমালা কঠোরভাবে অনুসরণ করে। ১৯৭৩ সালের &#8216;জেনারেল ট্রেড অ্যাগ্রিমেন্ট&#8217; এবং ১৯৯৪ সালের &#8216;বর্ডার ট্রেড অ্যাগ্রিমেন্ট&#8217;-এর আওতায় বাংলাদেশ-মিয়ানমার বাণিজ্য চলছে।<br />
বর্তমানে মিয়ানমার দূতাবাস থেকে বাংলাদেশের ব্যবসায়ীদের মাত্র ১৪ দিনের ভিসা দেওয়া হয় এবং তা নিয়ে কেবল বাংলাদেশ সীমান্তবর্তী মংডু প্রদেশ পর্যন্ত যাওয়া যায়। এ ছাড়া যে &#8216;বর্ডার পাস&#8217; ইস্যু করা হয়, তা নিয়ে মংডুর বাইরে যাওয়ার সুযোগ নেই। তাই বৈঠকে ব্যবসায়ীদের জন্য ভিসা সুবিধা সম্প্রসারণের বিষয়ে বাংলাদেশের পক্ষ থেকে জোর দেওয়া হবে।</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From last Friday to Monday, no newspaper has been published in Bangladesh. All print media houses were closed for Eid holidays. Journalistic activities in televisions and radios ran well. New media has also performed nice job to fulfill the thirst of the readers. However, many people like the Finance Minister of Bangladesh, Abul Mal Abdul Muhit wants newspapers even in holidays. Mr. Muhit has given the idea to publish newspapers at least in limited scale. <span id="more-811"></span><br />
Many journalists have not liked the idea. They say that every day they work from morning to midnight. If media houses remain open even in religious festivals, journalists will not be able to pass time with their friends and family even in the festivals.<br />
Some of them say that they need break from work and these religious holidays are the perfect time for it.<br />
Some newspapers have updated their websites during the holidays. However, that was very little. Online media houses did their best.<br />
I know that many people who like to know news or search for news, they logged in news websites. I live with news world. My media house was also closed and I logged in news web sites to know what is going on.<br />
After four days, when we are preparing next day&#8217;s newspaper the news room is over loaded with news. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Members of <a href="http://www.saarc-sec.org/" target="_blank">South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC)</a> finalized the draft of its charter on democracy for protecting and strengthening democracy in the region, Mohamed Mijarul Quayes,  Foreign secretary of Bangladesh said on Sunday. <span id="more-809"></span></p>
<p>Ending a two-day technical meeting at Dhaka, representatives of all eight-member states of SAARC okayed the draft prepared by Bangladesh.</p>
<p>“To shield the democracies in the region from extra-constitutional takeovers is a major recommendation laid down in the draft charter,” Foreign Secretary Mhamed. Mijarul Quayes told reporters after the meeting.</p>
<p>Foreign secretary told that the proposed charter would strengthen the SAARC process in future as development and democratic governance were closely linked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, we have built an excellent foundation of democratic commitment in the South Asian region. We have adopted a clean draft of the charter on democracy,&#8221; Quayes, who chaired the meet, told journalists at Sheraton Hotel.</p>
<p>&#8220;The draft will uphold SAARC&#8217;s spirit of protecting and strengthening democracy at the national and regional levels&#8221;.</p>
<p>He, however, declined to divulge further details saying that it would go through meetings of SAARC foreign secretaries, foreign ministers and finally the head of the states or governments.</p>
<p>&#8220;At present, democratically elected governments are in place in all member states. If we don&#8217;t talk about strengthening democracy now, when will we?&#8221; the secretary questioned.</p>
<p>Issues such as military takeover, human rights, freedom, secularism and other relevant matters came up for discussion, said the secretary.</p>
<p>Sufiur Rahamn, Director General (SAARC) of Foreign Ministry, said SAARC was created with the aim of improving the quality of lives of the people in the South Asian region.</p>
<p>&#8220;Democracy and development are closely linked,&#8221; he said justifying the move of inserting the charter of democracy.</p>
<p>Bangladesh proposed inserting the charter on democracy to bring an end to unconstitutional governments in SAARC member states at the 16th SAARC summit in Thimphu.</p>
<p>The member states at the summit requested Bangladesh to host a technical meeting on the issue. Ealier, Dhaka sent a draft of the charter on democracy to the members through the SAARC secretariat.</p>

The meeting is examining broad principles on democracy for inclusion in regionally agreed document. It is also examining how SAARC member states, people&#8217;s representatives and civil society can work toward strengthening democracy and democratic practice in South Asia, and respond in case of departures from democratic norms and processes.</p>
