Postpone Qurbani

This is a sincere appeal to the goodness of our people in Bangladesh and abroad.

Please postpone your Eid-ul-Adha sacrifices this year. Donate that money and your Zakat to any relief fund of your choice. You may even want to spend it yourself on the victims of Cyclone SIDR. Another choice is to buy a cow/goat and give it to someone who has lost it in the cyclone.

Allah will bless you for your kind deeds.

Share this opinion with your friends and family.

Emergency is good business

We hear that an army major makes 400 taka a day more if the country is under emergency rule.

So why would they want to lift emergency and give up that extra cash?

Once again do you see the sign of over confidence

80669_upadasta1.gif

General MUA once again has expressed his opinion about withdrawal of Emergency rules in Bangladesh.There are many occassions he said that the Bangladesh Army has no interest of political affairs or on Government’s decisions.However as the Army chief he has been making all sorts of decision making comments and making a huge confusion among the people in the country and himself. How  does he makes his comments on no political affairs needed in this natural disasters? Because of the politicians he is now the General of Bangladesh Army.Just for some corrupt politicians,the whole nation should not be deprived from their ultimate duties in this crisis.A lot of derailed Army officers have killed two of our Presidents, now do we punish the whole defense personnel for their doings? Some pandits or highly officials of our defense should look into this matter.

Shuchinta’s Cyclone Aid Campaign

There is no need to tell you afresh about the devastation of Cyclone Sidr in Bangladesh. I am sure you are all aware, more or less, about it.

We have lost at least 4000 lives as of today, and some agencies estimate the loss to reach as high as 10,000. At least 300,000 people have lost their homes and are living a subhuman life under the open sky with barely anything to eat or drink. If you want to donate to help these victims, please click on the link below:

Bongobandhu Memorial Foundation of USA [a 501(c)(3) charity organization registered (Reg # 56-2403796) in the United States], in collaboration with Shuchinta Foundation in Dhaka, Bangladesh, already has volunteers on the ground who will be distributing aid at the camps that has been setup for the affected in the Southern coast of Bangladesh.

So please come forward for humanity. Even ten dollars can help feed a family in Bangladesh for a week.

Please donate now:

And please feel free to share this message with any one you feel may be compassionate to this cause.

Open your wallets and reach out

It’s time to open your wallets to our brothers and sisters hit by this demon of a cyclone.

I know that we can point people to donation pages like this “Save the Children”.

However, go further. Call your freinds and ask them to donate. Talk to your foreign colleagues and ask them to throw in a few bucks.

People do care so reach out to them. If each of us can reach out to 10 people we can make a difference.

God bless us all.

Mainul Hossain needs to be quiet or the people of Bangladesh will close his mouth

Mainul Hossain, a Jamati Advisor needs to close his big and ugly mouth, in 1971 I do not know if any of his family member lost the loved ones or any of his family member  was dishonored by his beloved jamati rajakars? The answere must be no. His recent statements  protecting the war criminals and also arguing against the demand of bringing the war criminals under justice is really a naked face of a treason against Bangladesh and 1971.If this guy do not shut his big and ugly mouth about 1971, we the people of  Bangladesh will close his mouth one day.He must be brought under justice along with all other war criminals as there is no difference between them.
