When the dogs continue to bark
Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury
September 08, 2009
For quite some years, a group of people are continuing to spread false and self-cooked rumors against me in various web sites and blogs. Initially I decided not to pay any heed to such nasty games. But, now, believe that, it is important to say a few words, just to give a big kick on the faces of those barking dogs, who´s possibly one and only objective is opposing me, because, they always oppose any relations between Bangladesh and Israel and those elements surely are anti-Semitic.
First of all, I want to clearly mention here that, some people are continuing to claim that controversial businessman Aziz Mohammad Bhai was the owner of A-21 Television. What a damn lie! The A-21 Television started with its office at 39 Kamal Ataturk Avenue, Banani, Dhaka [2nd floor]. We were five directors in that company, while Mr. Abdul Malek of MAM Group was the chairman and I was the Managing Director. Other directors were, Harun Ar Rashid, Sohail Choudhury [my younger brother], Ishtiaq Chowdhury and G.A. Choudhuri. Now, this A-21 Television was owned by Asia 21st Media Limited, a company registered with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies in Bangladesh. Anyone can just check this fact with the concerned office of Bangladesh government. Then the question is, why the name of Aziz Mohammad Bhai is coming? Yes, here is the answer to that point too. Aziz Bhai purchased 20 per cent of the share in the channel, after 6 months of its broadcast using Thaicom-3 sattelite. So, I never worked or was any employee with Aziz Bhai´s company. He purchased share in our company, as he has shares in several industrial and business enterprises in this country.
Second point is, some idiots are continuing to say that, I was ousted from Inqilab Television for misappropriation of money. What a damn lie again! Even the owners of Daily Inqilab never made such remarks. In fact, being the managing director in Inqilab Television, I had no chance to sign cheques to do financial transactions. These were controlled by the owners of Inqilab. Furthermore, this television channel never went on air even for one minute. No program was ever purchased for this channel. So, where is the ´misappropriation theory´?
When I was arrested on November 29, 2003, these set of people tried their best by publishing many rumors and bad things about me, just with the intention of putting me in trouble. They were willing to see me hanged or imprisoned for life. But, I am released on bail and continuing my work and continuing to confront militant Islam. Those who say anything against me are simply lap dogs of Islamists or anti-American and anti-Israel lobbies.
