Unknown: Yes brother, tell me, what is the news? Manna: By news ... you mean from the country. It is heading somewhere. Relative public support is going towards the BNP. But things are not moving forward.
U: You have not managed to polarise. M: I do not think that will be possible.
U: Yes, it will not be. But it is that, the Uttarpara is getting hotter. M: How long will they take to get hot? What more can happen?
U: The support was not there. M: No. But now there is.
U: Now it seems, on one side. You still have the contacts, right, brother? M: No, I do not have contact with anyone.
U: Would you like to? M: Hmm?
U: Would you like to? Do you want me to call you? M: First I need to at least understand the matter.
U: Now if you do not talk, then how will you understand, brother? You talk some from you, some from them ... then see. You have seen the world. You have seen ... everyone’s everything. I am younger than you. But if you want to bring a change to the country, I think you need to talk. They will contact you. If you want. M: Yes, I will if they do.
U: Okay, great. I will have someone call you. Will I ask someone from the GOC rank to call you? Or do you want someone senior? M: Well, who is junior and who is senior matter of course. But the more important thing is those who are effective. And who understands, who knows, someone like this. I mean, the person I will share things with should be able to enlighten me and maybe I will also be able understand him, make him understand. ---
U: Brother, you must have heard a lot of bad things about me. In spite of that, a man of your stature has given me a call, you have put your trust on me, first of all I would like to thank you for that. You and I, we never met. Inshallah, someone will call you. He is not serving. I mean retired. But there will be two serving persons for talking to you. One of them will be intended lieutenant general. And another is already a lieutenant general. You talk to them and see, tell them what you want, share everything with them, then see where everything goes. But brother, you must take some steps. The typical BNP and company are not good for anything, brother. M: The person you mentioned just now, was he somewhere around the place you were? I mean, the place where you are now, I mean the place you visit regularly, has he ever been there?
U: That person has been in Australia, I told you his name. He will be there. And he will be accompanied by two people currently serving and two GOCs will also be present. If needed, they will arrange a discussion between you and the chief. M: OK.
U: These are the guys that I trust, brother, they are being my elder brothers for a long time. During 1/11, I helped them come out of the barrack. But between Rumi Bhai and Mr Moeen there was a bit of a difference. And I had a direct conflict with Mr Bari. Then I fell ill. I had two surgeries and at that time because of those events ... the game took another turn. But it would be a different story altogether.
U: They want to bring a change in the country. There was a time when I got used in the neighbouring country and many other countries. I worked from Teknaf to Tentulia, hills, everywhere. They had a wrong idea about me.
U: I tried to run a parallel government for many years. I managed to bring at least the corporate world under one umbrella. But I could not hold on because of a lack of skill and foresight. But I tried. Then I manipulated a lot of things using 40-50 MPs. I got nomination and everything for them. When I do something it comes as an anti-social. But when you do anything or a RAB officer does, next day it comes as a hero in newspaper. But your vision has to be clear. You see what I did. If you like it, you can go alone. You utilise me, for the country’s purpose. But not in any other purpose. I am not there for money. Whatever Allah has given me, whatever I inherited from my family, I can survive on that. From then on a relationship grew with me. Now Inshallah, I talk directly to 12 out of the 19 running with your blessing. At least you can talk to them. Let us see, if you talk then it will be clear. M: OK.
U: Then, with your permission, I will give ... then I will give the number to you. Then you talk to him. You will receive a call tomorrow by 12. Is that OK, brother? Go to a restaurant or something for talking. You can go to one of their confidential places and talk or you can call them to a place and they can come. M: Do I have to call? I am scared of phones.
U: Yes, yes. In that case in Viber, where I live, a number from there, then you can talk to a Viber number from Australia. Is that OK, brother? M: OK.
U: And brother. I think you have a connection with the neighbouring country. How much of that do you still have? M: It is nothing solid. They came from that side, I have listened to them. I have talked, those are academics. U: Academics?
M: Yeah, political academics. But there is one thing. I said, the way it is being administered, it is being run, the fundamentalist and similar types, they will surface, they will gain more strength, you will see. Because the way you are giving unreserved support, it will go in that direction. Then they did not agree to me. But later they thought, yes this is right. They have that much appreciation.
