ETV - Victim of Political Rage [Aug 31, 2002]

Sub: [ALOCHONA] ETV , the Victim of Political Rage

Alochoks,

Who never watched ETV will not understand what it was really. Beleive it or
not, but it was not merely a TV channel. It was much more than that. It
became a visual school for different social classes of Bangladesh. So people
like us cried against the petetion and judgement to close its transmission.
Giving a simple example how it took peoples heart. My youngest sister who is
doing just middle school final become so upset that she cried a lot after
close the channel and she dont allow any of us to open the television set. I
found the same picture in many home in the city. These innocent childrens
are not aware of political game of BNP-AL, but they simply accept good and
simply reject bad.

Damn true is 99% program of BTV program is just SHIT and GOVERNMENT
PROPAGANDA. But govt try to compel us to eat ONLY that SHIT with
Tk.500/year. Most funny is, if you buy a tv set you have to pay fee to BTV
even if you dont watch it at all!!! What kind of shameless nation we are!

Where is my fundamental right?
-I cant buy a tv set to watch BBC
-I cant buy a tv set to watch CNN
-I cant buy a tv set to watch Discovery
-I cant buy a tv set to watch MTV
-I cant buy a tv to watch ESPN
-I cant buy a tv set to watch simply VCD
-I cant buy a tv to watch my heart-patient fathers Cardiographic Tests Video

Simple is: YOU CAN BUY A TV SET IN BANGLADESH ONLY IF YOU AGREE TO WATCH
BTV.

You have to buy a tv set with a commitment to watch BTV (compulsory), and
other thing you will do as additional. Whole nation has been following this
rule silently for long time. Remember this is nothing related to the
government tax/duty, when you buy a tv you have to pay VAT etc. But the
license fee is the money to run a channel owned by the state. A LEGAL
CHANDABAJI!! ......hah!

At the end of ETV closure I found some remarkable points that proves how
this case was patronised by the BNP government with the disguise of the
people like Gias Kamal Chy etc. Look at the following points:

1. ETV authority didnt have chance to close with formal declaration, it was
just SWITCHED OFF by government indecently!

2. This case was not government vs ETV, but government ministers expressed
their victorious pleasure after the closure. They appeared like as if it is
their victory! (but alas initially government was the partner of ETV and
this case was against both government and ETV)

3. After the final declaration by Supreme Court, PM Khaleda Zia called the
Information Minister to make sure the switched off immediately! (if all the
cases are followed up by the PM in this way, Bangladesh won't become country
of terrorism and corruption)

4. The case was for the Terrestrial transmission of ETV, but government
closed down even the sattelite transmission!! Why the hell government had to
do this? REVENGE? Against whom? We beleive government is an institute
not a person. Then how come an institute can act with emotion, i.e. revenge?

Thus, the whole ETV case is a POLITICALLY BIASED case! The damn true!!!!!
The naked true!!!!! I hate to write anymore on this disgusting issue, but to
reduce my anger I had to write my feelings and fact!! I am sorry alochoks if
I look too much crazy!!!

Who knows how long this country will be ruled by the HOBUCHANDRA RAJA &
GOBUCHONDRA MONTREE and how many time they will throw us to the river of
frustration?

Regards,
