Barrister Rafiq's ultimate motive - could he be a symphathiser for war-criminals?
Let history be known regarding his role for the upliftman of the country during his career
He can fight the corrupts politicians out of jail, against the will of the government and to a great extent, against the will of the majority of the people.
However, he can not force the government to start the proceeding of the war crimes tribunal? However, he does not hesitate to score political points by claiming that is in favour of the tribunal. Not only that - he proposes to give free service for that?

But he will provide the free professional service to try the war criminals only if he is forced to do that - i.e. government has to force him to provide that service by creating the commisison. He can't force the government through legal means to create the commision.
When it comes to corrupts, he has all the power to force the government! What are we missing here, Mr. Learned Barrister?
If you think deep, hypothetically, his promise of giving free service might have much deeper meaning. He is actually offering the free service so that he can sabotage those cases to free those criminals, too. Could that be a possibility?
When he knows that a dialogue between Hasina and Khaleda is not possible, those two do not have their best interest of the country in their mind, then why is he now proposing the dialogue? Could it be possible that he helped them bring out of the jail only to demean them? Could he tell that if the two ladies agree to serve the country together - only then - he would provide his free professional service to Khaleda or Hasina?
Off course, the dialogue between Hasina and Khaleda is a much needed one. But it was needed two years back, five years back, ten years back.

We know that nothing is going to happen as far as Hasina and Khaleda is concerned. Still, he is forcing that those onto these two lady leaders. Why? Off course, to make them lower than they are!!
Also, he would not help government legally - the same government has ensured the freedom of the court. Rather he opposed the government. By doing that he actually have weakened our ongoing reform.
Now he is creating big headlines by proposing dialogue between the two lady leaders - albeit knowing that they are incapable of having a conversation between them. However, there are signals that these two ladies might actually help promote the much needed reform inside those two parties. What they need least is to be demeaned. They should be given some space. However, Barrister Haque is not willing to do that - he is forcing a dialogue between the two. By doing that he actually is weaking the prospect of further reform.
Why would this seemingly good lawyer would want to disturb reform in any way he can? Isn't it ironic? Why would he act against the interest of Bangladesh?
Yes, it seems so. However, if one thinks these together with his declared stand about war-criminal and lack of inaction on his part, that could explain something. War-criminals do not have best interest of Bangladesh in their mind. Barrister Rafique has neither!!
He said, to quote Barrister Haque "They (war criminals) may be tried under our existing laws if our purpose and aim are sincere." Oh, that's it. If you are sincere.
You can force an emergency situation to be altered to slow down the reform. But you can't force an existing law into action for the trial of war criminals?
Whose interest do you have in your mind? Is is India? Or Pakistan? Or it is actully the Jamatis that has bank-rolled you i.e. paying for professional service that you are providing to Hasina or Khaleda? After all, that might explain your generosity!!
Whatever that is, none of these three has ever acted in the interest of Bangladesh and they never will. At least, not in near future. It seems Barrister Rafiq also falls in the same group. Its unfortunate that we had write this article during the month of Ramadan. This article is potentially wrong - written based on few wrong assumptions but which public do not know. We wrote this in the interest of Bangladesh. There is another positive side, off course. This also give Barrister Haque to prove us wrong. Nobody will be more happy than us, if he can actually prove us wrong.
