Crush with an Iron Hand the Activities and Rise of Extremist–Communal Forces Loyal to U.S. Imperialism!
Over
the past two days, worker Dipu Chandra Das was murdered in Bhaluka,
Mymensingh by extremist, fanatical, fundamentalist, and communal mob
groups. During the same period, the offices of Prothom Alo, The Daily
Star, and Chhayanaut were vandalized, and violence was carried out in a
similar manner against the office of Udichi Shilpigoshthi by the same
groups. Centering on the killing of Osman Hadi, spokesperson of Inquilab
Mancha, political instability has once again erupted across the country
with full force. We, People’s Democratic Students Unity, strongly
condemn this ongoing nationwide anarchy and violence and regard it as a
grave failure of the interim government. We believe that the shooting of
Osman Hadi itself was a planned attempt to destabilize the country
during the pre-election period, which ultimately serves the interests of
U.S. imperialism.
The
daylight assassination of Sheikh Osman Hadi by gunfire exposes the
extreme failure of the country’s law and judicial system. By planning
and exploiting this murder, the ruling class deliberately created an
unstable situation, thereby paving the way for the rise of extremist,
fundamentalist, and communal forces. Since the interim government
assumed power, the continuing wave of mob killings and the growing
prevalence of feudal mindsets in society are direct outcomes of this
rise. These extremist, fascist, ideologically driven religious fanatics,
beneath their rhetoric, are in reality attempting to engulf the country
in the cloak of religious nationalism. Just as we oppose extreme
Bengali nationalism, we also oppose this religious nationalism. Its
manifestation was seen in Bhaluka, Mymensingh, where these fanatics, on
allegations of religious blasphemy, brutally beat worker Dipu Chandra
Das to death, hung his body from a tree, and burned it. Such barbarity
has stunned the people of the country; today, the entire population is
living under a sense of deep insecurity. Just as the Indian
expansionist–subservient fascist Hasina–Awami League government kept the
people in fear for a decade and a half— consolidating ruling-class
power, perpetuating corruption, plunder, and schemes of selling out the
country— this government, too, is continuing that legacy. Through
instability, as part of imperialist planning, it is gambling with the
lives and property of the people while simultaneously turning the
country into a pawn in imperialist–expansionist proxy wars.
The
situation has now reached such a point that, in the name of “July
spirit,” “defense of religion,” or “anti-India sentiment,” the people
can be harmed at any time, misled and divided, their property destroyed,
and even confiscated. This situation continues to appease and
strengthen the semi-colonial semi-feudal system that exists in this
country. The anti-India rhetoric raised today by these religious
fanatics is nothing but sheer hypocrisy. Without raising one’s voice
against the brutal repression, oppression, and misrule inflicted by the
Indian state and the Hindutva-fascist BJP government of Narendra Modi
upon the people of India—without opposing the genocidal “Operation
Kagar” against Maoist revolutionaries and Adivasis, and the exploitation
of farmers, workers, and the middle classes— there can be no genuine
anti-India stance. Likewise, an “anti-India” posture that fails to
oppose the unequal treaties signed by this country’s ruling class with
India, and fails to resist India’s unjust economic and geographical
one-sided advantages, is nothing more than a deception of the people. In
substance and in practice, the fake “anti-India” posture of these
extremist, fundamentalist, and communal groups in Bangladesh actually
serves the expansionist interests of the anti-people Indian state and
the fascist BJP government. At the same time, we must state clearly:
regime-change “mass uprisings,” elections, military rule, or the calls
for various so-called forms of government that lick the boots of
imperialist masters cannot bring liberation to the people. In countries
like ours— oppressed by imperialism and expansionism, where neo-colonial
forms of rule prevail— there is no liberation for workers, peasants,
and the middle classes without class struggle.
We,
People’s Democratic Students Unity, state unequivocally that we
strongly condemn the instability, mob terror, disorder, and brutality
arising around the killing of Osman Hadi, and the interim government
must bear full responsibility for all of this. At the same time, as
various cultural organizations, institutions, and individuals have come
under attack and suffered losses, we call upon the people to prepare for
mass resistance against fascism— whether wrapped in extreme nationalism
or religious nationalism— on the basis of class struggle. Organize! We
call upon all to oppose the anti-people rule of Dr. Yunus’s interim
government, loyal to U.S. imperialism; and to establish, through
agrarian revolution, a democratic state, government, and social system
of the oppressed nations and people under the leadership of the working
class, for the genuine liberation of the people.
