BNP looks for more sanctions on December 10

0

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has intensified its lobbyist activities in the United States with the hope of getting sanctions on a large number of individuals in Bangladesh. It may be mentioned here that, last year on December 10, the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated several officers of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), an anti-terror and anti-militancy elite force of the Bangladesh Police. Following this sanctions, lobbyists and members of Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamaat-e-Islami began frantic bids in convincing the United Nations in banning participation of Bangladesh in the United Nations Peace Keeping Force (UNPKF). As such efforts fell flat, this time BNP-Jamaat nexus is desperately trying to fresher sanctions on dozens of Bangladeshi individuals, which includes politicians, civil-military officers and businessmen.

According to a credible source, former US diplomat William B Milam is heading this notorious bid of BNP-Jamaat while Nobel Prize laureate Dr Muhammed Yunus reportedly is trying to help this nexus by using his connections with several figures of the Democratic Party, including Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.

Earlier it was reported in BLiTZ that as an attempt of sabotaging the January 2023 general elections in Bangladesh, defaming ruling Awami League and demonizing law enforcement agencies, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has prepared a dossier, which was done under the supervision of by-chance editor of infamous and pro-Caliphate Amar Desh Mahmudur Rahman.

According to credible source, BNP representative in the US, Mushfique Fazal Ansary, an individual living in Washington DC, who is the Former Assistant Press Secretary to Khaleda Zia; former diplomatic correspondent of vernacular newspaper The Daily Ittefaq; member of the United Nations Correspondents Association; White House Correspondent at Just News BD, an illegal  news website; and Executive Director at Right to Freedom has been assigned by BNP’s mini-boss Tarique Rahman, a convicted fugitive living in London to deliver the dossier to Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State.

It may be mentioned here that, Mushfique Fazal Ansary is the editor of “Just News BD” while this news website does not have any office or existence in Bangladesh. It is a matter of great surprise as to how he has managed to enroll himself as the White House Correspondent of this illegitimate website.

The website of another organization named ‘Right To Freedom’ that Mushfique Fazal Ansary claims to be its “Executive Director” is non-functional. It is learnt from credible source that Mushfique Fazal Ansary has been continuing anti-Bangladesh activities under direct patronization of William B Milam, a retired US diplomat and senior official, while Milam is on permanent payroll of Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamaat-e-Islami.

Anita Mathur, our Special Contributor in Washington DC, quoting an unnamed source in the US Capitol said, although William B Milam has made repeated attempts of handing over the dossier to the US Secretary of State, he did not get an appointment due to pre-occupations of Mr. Blinken.

Anita Mathur further said, the dossier contains names of 173 officers of Bangladesh Police, who are accused for “violation of human rights”.

Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its ally Jamaat-e-Islami had previously made frantic attempts with the US Department of State and United Nations to impose sanctions several officers of Bangladesh Police. The BNP-Jamaat nexus has also been trying to get Bangladesh banned from participating in the UN Peace Keeping Force (UNPKF).

Commenting on BNP-Jamaat’s expectation of getting fresher sanctions from the United States or the United Nations a source told this correspondent that for the past several months anti-Bangladesh quarters are making frantic bids in seeing such sanctions announced on December 10 this year. It said, sitting the United States, few individuals with heavy inclination towards BNP and Jamaat too are sending propaganda materials to the authorities concerned with the request of imposing sanctions. But the US and UN authorities need to understand, people behind such activities are politically connected and most of them also are openly inclined towards religious extremist and jihadist entities.
