Kay Jordan’s crucial role in defence of the UK Bangladeshi Community: The KHOODEELAAR! Campaign [2]

An electronic image by AADHIKARMedia of the bottom of page 26 of the weekly title Bangla Post London dated Friday 28 February 2013, containing The © Muhammad Haque Commentary piece that pays evidential and historical tribute to Kay Jordan for her part in the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign

The © Muhammad Haque Commentary [this one written in Bangla] as published in the weekly Bangla language publication “Bangla Post”, dated Friday 28 February 2013, recognises the role played by Kay Jordan in jointly founding the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign against the Crossrail hole in December 2003, just under 10 years ago.

The Commentary also confirms the equally important and epoch-making campaign against racism that Muhammad Haque had established immediately following the racist murder of Altab Ali in May 1978.

The key thesis is that both the campaign against racism around the racist murder of Altab Ali and nearly 30 years later [1978 to 2003] the campaign against Crossrail hole attacks on the significantly Bangladeshi-populated Brick Lane London E1 area were founded by the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign actively pushing ASIDE the “leadership” of the “Bangladesh-based” political groupings factions and parties operating in the UK where the presence of the significant Bangladeshi-Origin population is being obstructed by the exhibitionist and in many cases seriously irresponsible and divisive “politics” indulged in by the “Bangladesh-based political groupings”.

The Muhammad Haque Commentary also states that the same policy was adopted by Khoodeelaar! about the “mainstream” “British political parties” and their “Bangladeshi-Identified” “members” and “supporters” on the local political scene in Tower Hamlets.

The CONCLUSION of this analysis is that BOTH the Bangladesh-linked political groupings and the UK “Mainstream” Political Parties were irrelevant to the needs of the UK Bangladeshi community.

This has been seen time and again. 

Illustrated so emphatically by the two most important campaigns both of which have played unparalleled part in protecting the overall and the key rights of the UK Bangladeshis.

And in the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against the Crossrail hole, Kay Jordan has played a very important part that must be fully appreciated recognised and emulated.

How many “Commissions” have I actually founded and activated in the past half century?

By “Commissions” I mean the type of intellectual and consciousness-raising exercises that relate to and address the state of awareness of particular policies regarding Society.

I think I have done at least one major Commission every three years.

Dividing fifty years by 3, it is an easy 16 Commissions.

That is not including the “task forces” that I have had to assemble – “scramble” – at absolutely no notice at all over the past half century or so.

Defending Society and the idea of universal fairness and justice regardless of the individual origins or backgrounds in ethnicity, faith or no faith or gender of the people I have been advocating for! People PLUS beings, as in squirrels, pigeons and kittens and other creatures including Elephants and the thousands of species that are co-existing on our planet.

I begin the count in the early 1960s – doing so by ‘forgetting’ for a second, my stand, as the ONLY ONE in all the villages on both banks of my beloved river Kooeeahraa in October 1958, when Ayub Khan had imposed “martial law” on the then Pakistan-when the main intellectual and emotional attention had been demanded by the anti-social and anti-Societal diversion away from democracy that the Ayub Khan regime had set in.

For me, there was only one response: NO!

I continued to say No to Ayub Khan and then went on to say No to his successor Yahya Khan and also maintained by original diagnostic NO to their allies as typified by the flamboyant Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.

In my evidential finding, it was the Flamboyant Mr Bhutto who played a decisive role in creating the moral ground on which Mr Mujibur Rahman was able to later stand!

For “perpetuity”, politically speaking

Right now, at 26 and 27 February 2013, I am operating a series of task forces as well as maintaining at least four “Commissions”.

I shall be publishing the “fundings” of each in due course.

BACK to the Tower Hamlets Council’s PR exercise called “The Fairness Commission”. This is part of the currently “trendy” “commissions” that quite a few local Councils in England have set up in the past 18 months or so. 

The idea behind these “Commissions” corresponding to each sponsoring “local Authority or borough Council” is definitely to create a sort of semi-academic, semi-neutral platform from where to point the finger at the Neo Conservative CONDEM Collusion over its CUTS policies.

This is why the “Commissions” have been found to be committing PARTISAN or “politically expedient” “investigations”.

The one in the name of the people of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets has The Tower Hamlets “Fairness Commission” abandons scheduled meeting and cuts short proceedings due to poor turnout in Stepney, London E1 

Fairness Commission “Consultation Meeting” wrapped up early for poor attendance! 

Amazingly, this meeting was supposed to be the last public event before the “Commission”, fronted by Giles Fraser, a trendy, Guardian-Friendly, Guardian-using London St Paul’s Cathedral-linked Anglican Clergyman, is due to report next month!

So when I arrived with a colleague from a Community organisation in EastOne London UK, minutes after 7 PM, an hour before the meeting was scheduled to close, I found that the clergyman Giles Fraser had just left and the rest of the “congregation” had gone home too!

“Poor turnout” was the reason, according to a young woman who spoke on behalf of the organisers of the meeting.

The © Muhammad Haque Daily Political Poetry: How strange that you still put on that smug confident face even when you are worse than dead! [1]

Naah!

I don’t decry you?

You alive?

If you are alive, I could never ever decry you!

Remember this.

Remember that.

Remember forever.

I could not ever decry a living you.

I could not decry you when deceased either.

So what I do decry and would  decry and have decried

is your false position: neither dead nor alive.

Your pretence.

The pretence you is the most barren form of you

It is also the most treacherous

It is at once the worst fraud.

This is what I do decry

this is what I will decry

this what I must decry.

You fake it when you must oppose fraud and fakery

You lie when you must tell the truth uncover the lies

You betray when you must be the most trustworthy

You deny when you must be the first to recognise

the truth the poverty the deception the theft the looting

You must rush to the scene and take the stand

yet you scour you disappear and you lie!

This is worse than the worst gloom of death

you are dead even before you are dead

you are voluntarily dead even before your fated death

You put on the smile you wear the gear you walk the walk

you fake it and you can’t even look at the fakery of your fantasy!

Muhammad Haque examines the latest CRASSrail plugs peddled via the ‘East London Idiotiser’

 

By©Muhammad Haque

2050 GMT

London Saturday

27 October 2007

 

In a first comment sent to the ‘East London Idiotiser’ this evening, I have said essentially as follows

 

 

The item 

‘Crossrail project gets green light’

‘shaft work to start in 2010’ by Julia Gregory on page 9 of the ‘East London’ Idiotiser dated Thursday 25 October 2007 is seriously inaccurate and contains equally misleading contents that must be immediately corrected.

 

The piece in the East London Idiotiser is disjointed

and is yet another one-sided plug for the Crassrail hole plot promoters and at the expense of the East End of London.

 

The ‘project’ cannot be described in that way.

 

The ‘go ahead’ by the executive [the Government, the majority party in the House of Commons] was given as far back as February 2005 when the ‘Crossrail Bill’ was introduced in the UK House of Commons.

 

The same ‘go ahead’ was repeated in the same House of Commons on 19 July 2005 when the same Bill was given the ‘Second Reading’.

 

What has been happening – during the fortnight of the UK political Parties’ annual Conference [jamborees] season [end of September and the first week of October 2007] is that a snap general election was first being orchestrated and then abandoned by Gordon Brown.

 

ALL the announcements about Crossrail were made to get the particular South East of England commuter belt’s attention in favour of Gordon Brown and then in favour of the London mayoral re-election candidate Ken Livingstone.

 

The commuters were not ordinary London people in the main.

 

Nor is the re-election preoccupation of Ken

Livingstone a representation of the independent

preference of ordinary people of London

 

A very serious propaganda stunt therefore has been

attempted via these latest fabrications around

Crossrail.

 

We do not buy it

 

Why?

 

Because the ‘Cross rail Bill’ is still a draft Bill,

not an Act of parliament.

 

It is vital that these facts are included in the

‘news’ about a matter that is very much subject to the approval of the Houses of Parliament.

 

After the scheduled ‘Queen’s Speech’ the same Bill is going to be put through a different select committee.

 

That is in the House of Lords.

 

Khoodeelaar! And others opposed to the Bill and to the ‘project’ are going to put the objections to that new select committee.

 

Only after those have been gone through – and after

the planned constitutional law challenges have been

made and the Bill is actually given the Assent and has become an Act of Parliament could you put it in the way that you have already done.

 

As for the ‘panel’, it is a stooge outfit of the

Council.

 

Four of the so-called ‘groups’ mentioned are very

closely associated with at least two councillors while the ‘health centre’ is known to have a pro-Crossrail councillor as a staff doctor!

 

Khoodeelaar! held a demonstration on Tuesday 23 

October 2007 outside the stooge meeting.

 

Why have you [the ‘ELA’] made no reference to that?

 

Also, half of the ‘leaders’ of the ‘groups’ you associated with the stooge group stayed away from the stooge meeting because of their support to Khoodeelaar!

KHOODEELAAR! continues to point the way and provide the example of how to keep Brick Lane ….[2]

Deputy Mayor supports Muhammad Haque over Brick Lane future: 

The © Muhammad Haque Daily Ethical Commentary: Brick Lane Curry Riestaurants face stark, bleak and sinking future: UPDATE [2]

0915 [0900] [0715] [0700] Hrs GMT London Monday 25 February 2013.

The Brick Lane Curry Restaurants featured in a tax dodge item run on BSKYB Channel 814 on Sunday 24 February 2013.

The real dodge is the fact that the “restaurant owners” are in denial about the very serious decline in the “Curry” trade as associated with “restaurants”. This week also sees the end of the local Tower Hamlets Council’s formal “consultations” on the future of “licensed” premises, which came into focus following widespread outrage felt by ordinary local residents as well as by the wider community in the “Brick Lane London E1 area”. 

In that “consultation” one thing that has been noticed has been the ABSENCE of the “Curry House Restaurant Owners” from active participation. 

With very, very minor exceptions.

So the “regulation” by the “local” Tower Hamlets, London Borough Council, of some of the worst offences done in the name of “promoting” individual restaurants’ “offers” to passers-by and others who could not be more uninterested in having anything at all to do with these “houses”, is once again going to become a topical issue among some.

Not enough activity is noticed on the part of the Council itself either.

When I attempted to speak – at the “consultation” meeting staged on 13 February 2013 at the Toynbee Hall, Commercial Street, London E1–about Brick Lane in the context of the “licensed premises and their implications for the local community and the curry houses”, an un-named [so far, to my knowledge] bureaucrat who ran the show which was apparently being chaired by Tower Hamlets Council “deputy” mayor Ohid Ahmed — interrupted me three times and “accused” [!!!] me of having arrived late at the “event”!

The idiotic interruptions confirmed once again that Tower Hamlets Council employees were among the elements that were doing damage to the local community and to the local businesses.

The man was so ignorant that he thrice failed to show any recognition of what I was saying!

And the fact that I had been saying the right things that needed to be said, was proved by the statement that the Chair of the meeting, Ohid Ahmed, said when he stood up to make his comments by way of brining the “meeting” to a close.

Ohid Ahmed’s first comments were made in support of me.

Ohid Ahmed hesitated for bait, as to whether to refer to me by my surname or to address me as his [older] Brother. He settled on the latter before saying that he agreed with me fully.

That was followed by Ohid confirming once again what I had said when he spoke to me on camera [which I then published as a youtube post on the BrickLane News youtube channel].

KHOODEELAAR! Campaign Hour! Some key Ethical Sources for advocating for rights [2]

The © Muhammad Haque Daily Ethical Commentary: 

The KHOODEELAAR! Campaign Hour [2]

I have been presenting this Campaign Hour since September 2012 on a “community” radio station, http://www.betarbangla.org.uk accessible online as well as on the band 1503 AM each Thursday from 1700 Hrs GMT to 1800 Hrs GMT.

I do not seek nor receive nor crave a remuneration for doing so.

I do this as part of the Campaigning advocacy for the rights of the people.

The KHOODEELAAR! Campaign Hour has been advocating the key values of establishing the rights of the ordinary people and in doing so it has also been empirically and evidentially spelling out and been originally updating the criteria for the defence and the advancement of universal values. 

Those can be found in the United Nations’ Founding declarations upholding human rights. 

The EVIDENCE for emphatic advocacy for the rights of the people being advocated for are present in the population in a widely labelled “most deprived, inner city, London, England” borough and its population [Tower Hamlets London Borough Council]. The same values and the same principles can be extrapolated and extended to apply to other people experiencing the same challenges and the same obstacles in other parts of London, England, the UK and the rest of the world.

The nearest Constitutional Law instrument that can be cited here is of course the European Convention on Human Rights [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Convention_on_Human_Rights ] that spells out some of the key principles as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the founding declamations of the United Nations Organisation.

These in turn are derived from the traditions of earlier advocates, as exemplified by the philosophers in Greece, as represented by Socrates and his students and followers and later by the likes of the Caliph Omar, to name only a few. 

The thinker Imam Ghazzali did a great deal to interpret and establish some of the key aspects of the same universal values. 

The values have been taking a long time in coming across in real Society.

The campaigns for establishing universal values for a just and fair Society have continued, with a variety of interruptions, obstacles and delays.

In a more recent demonstration of the values, the thoughts of the English-born activist and campaigner Tom Paine [a typical but NOT definitive summary on his works and life can be seen online at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine%5D.

The most recent contributions include the works, in aspects, of what is called the Marxist thinkers. 

I say “in aspects” because of the centralist collectivist thesis on which the premisses of most of what is known as the Marxist thinkers is based.

The “synthesis” [to rhetorically borrow a term from one of the foregoing schools and sources] that I have made and the one that I have been advocating on the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign Hour is the product of my recognising what I find to be the universally free and independent component of all the schools and sources.

Advisedly, I am not mentioning any of the “faith” texts and sources. This is not to exclude let alone deny the contributions that all the “faith” texts have made and continue to the make to the analysis and diagnostics that I advocate and represent. This is merely to leave out of the pragmatic equation the powerful forces of the “faiths” which would cause the discourse to be taken on to a different, almost deity-ruled definition. That definition would be a very different one from the definition that I am applying here and designating as the universal definition. Or as “a universal” definition.

The test has been the empirical perceptions of each issue of democracy delivery that the average listener experiencers.

So far, the feedback, in the main, shows a high the level of approval. Most of those who have called the programme about its current duration [the maximum of 60 minutes, from 1700 Hrs GMT to 1800 Hrs GMT on betarbangla.org.uk and betarbangla.co.uk] have asked for an extension to the duration.

The reason, as found in the comments on air, has been the exclusive and the appropriate and the overdue contents and the analysis.

Based on that, I can say that the programme has filled a need for evidence based comments on Society generally and a democratic audit and accountability as I have sought to apply on the duties of the elected holders of publicly paid offices at local, regional and UK central levels.

[To be continued]

Callers to the Khoodeelaar! Campaign Hour have once again reiterated the demand for an extended slot on the London community radio station “Betar Bangla”.

The calls came on Thursday 21 February 2013 during the latest once-a week programme presented by Khoodeelaar! Campaigns Organiser Muhammad Haque.

This edition was almost wholly devoted to the works of the Rebel Poet Qazi Nazrul Islam, who wrote in the Bangla script but encompassed in his writings the widest known vocabulary drawn from a very large number of sources, ‘languages’ way beyond the geography of the Bangla language speaking peoples.

Muhammad Haque, an avid student of the Rebel Poetry of Qazi Nazrul Islam, read short lines from the Nazrul Poetry collection [=] “Shauncheeta”.

The edition of the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign Hour ended with Muhammad Haque reciting the lines: 

[here interpreted into English by Muhammad Haque]

“I shall rest only on that day when the cries and groans of the oppressed will not echo in the winds and the skies; 

when the sharp knives … of the oppressor will no longer reign in the battlefield…”

KHOODEELAAR! Campaign Hour! Criteria for democratic representation in the UK [1] [a]

The idea underlying the Khoodeelaar! campaign is one of the most universal ones propelling over millennia all action towards achieving justice.

Although the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign initially came into being to defend the ‘Brick Lane London E1’ area from the effects of the Big Biz agenda scam Crossrail hole, the years of acton that have followed now into the 10th year, have witnessed the Khoodeelaar! name becoming associated with some of the decade’s most important contemporary causes for justice.

It is thus possible to add together the key criteria that can be applied to create the environment fro justice everywhere.

Starting in the East End of London UK.
