সামরিক বাহিনী পছন্দ সু চির

অনলাইন ডেস্ক | তারিখ: ২৭-০১-২০১৩

মিয়ানমারের গণতন্ত্রপন্থী নেত্রী অং সান সু চি বলেছেন, ১৫ বছর ধরে গৃহবন্দী রাখা সত্ত্বেও নিজ দেশের সামরিক বাহিনীকে তিনি এখনো পছন্দ করেন। বিবিসি রেডিওকে দেওয়া এক সাক্ষাত্কারে এ কথা বলেন তিনি।
সু চির বাবা অং সানকে আধুনিক মিয়ানমারের জনক হিসেবে বিবেচনা করা হয় এবং তিনিই দেশটির সামরিক বাহিনীর প্রতিষ্ঠাতা। সু চি বলেন, ‘সামরিক বাহিনীকে আমি পছন্দ করি। আর এটা একেবারেই অকৃত্রিম।’
গত বছরের ডিসেম্বরে মিয়ানমারে সু চির বাসভবনে ওই সাক্ষাত্কার রেকর্ড করা হয়। সাক্ষাত্কারের বরাত দিয়ে আজ শনিবার বিবিসি অনলাইনে একটি প্রতিবেদন প্রকাশ করা হয়েছে। সাক্ষাত্কারে সু চি বলেন, আমি জানি, মানুষ আমার এই ভালো লাগার বিষয়টি পছন্দ করে না। অনেকে আমাকে সেনাবাহিনীর “পোস্টার কন্যা” বলে সমালোচনা করেন। কিন্তু সত্য হচ্ছে, আমি তাদের পছন্দ করি এবং আমি সব সময়ই মনে করেছি, এটা আমার বাবার সেনাবাহিনী।’
সামরিক বাহিনী মিয়ানমারে ভয়ানক সব কাজ করেছে বলে স্বীকার করেন সু চি। তবে তিনি আশা প্রকাশ করেন, তারা এসব কাজ থেকে বেরিয়ে আসবে।
সু চি আরও বলেন, বৌদ্ধ মতাদর্শের ওপরে আস্থার কারণে তিনি মিয়ানমারের স্বৈরশাসনকে উপেক্ষা করতে সমর্থ হয়েছেন এবং পার্লামেন্টে আসন অর্জনের মধ্য দিয়ে এখন তাদের মোকাবিলা করতে পারছেন।

Mirza Mehedi Hasan ২০১৩.০১.২৭ ১৪:২৮: AUNG SUNG SUCHI'S NOBEL PRIZE SHOULD BE WITHDRAWN.
Aminur Rahman,Khosru,Frankfurt/Germany ২০১৩.০১.২৭ ১৫:২৯: Aung San Suu Kyi MP AC is a Burmese opposition politician and chairperson of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Burma. In the 1990 general election, the NLD won 59% of the national votes and 81% (392 of 485) of the seats in Parliament.She had, however, already been detained under house arrest before the elections. She remained under house arrest in Burma for almost 15 of the 21 years from 20 July 1989 until her most recent release on 13 November 2010, becoming one of the world's most prominent political prisoners.Suu Kyi received the Rafto Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. In 1992 she was awarded the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding by the government of India and the International Simón Bolívar Prize from the government of Venezuela. In 2007, the Government of Canada made her an honorary citizen of that country,the fourth person ever to receive the honour. In 2011, she was awarded the Wallenberg Medal. On 19 September 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi was also presented with the Congressional Gold Medal, which is, along with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in the United States.Aung San Suu Kyi was born on 19 June 1945 in Rangoon (now named Yangon).Her father, Aung San, founded the modern Burmese army and negotiated Burma's independence from the British Empire in 1947; he was assassinated by his rivals in the same year. She grew up with her mother, Khin Kyi, and two brothers, Aung San Lin and Aung San Oo, in Rangoon. Aung San Lin died at the age of eight, when he drowned in an ornamental lake on the grounds of the house.Her elder brother immigrated to San Diego, California, becoming a United States citizen. After Aung San Lin's death, the family moved to a house by Inya Lake where Suu Kyi met people of very different backgrounds, political views and religions. She was educated in Methodist English High School (now Basic Education High School No. 1 Dagon) for much of her childhood in Burma, where she was noted as having a talent for learning languages. She is a Theravada Buddhist.Aung San Suu Kyi at the age of six.
Suu Kyi's mother, Khin Kyi, gained prominence as a political figure in the newly formed Burmese government. She was appointed Burmese ambassador to India and Nepal in 1960, and Aung San Suu Kyi followed her there, she studied in the Convent of Jesus and Mary School, New Delhi and graduated from Lady Shri Ram College in New Delhi with a degree in politics in 1964. Suu Kyi continued her education at St Hugh's College, Oxford, obtaining a B.A. degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics in 1969. According to a classmate, Suu Kyi fell in love with Tariq Hyder, a Pakistani student, during her second year in Oxford. Their relationship was not well received by her circle of friends and it soon ended. After graduating, she lived in New York City with a family friend Ma Than E, who was once a popular Burmese pop singer.She worked at the United Nations for three years, primarily on budget matters, writing daily to her future husband, Dr. Michael Aris.In late 1971, Aung San Suu Kyi married Aris, a scholar of Tibetan culture, living abroad in Bhutan.The following year she gave birth to their first son, Alexander Aris, in London; their second son, Kim, was born in 1977. Between 1985 and 1987, Suu Kyi was working toward an M.Phil in Burmese literature as a research student at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. She was elected as an Honorary Fellow in 1990. For two years she was a Fellow at the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies (IIAS) in Shimla, India. She also worked for the government of the Union of Burma.In 1988 Suu Kyi returned to Burma, at first to tend for her ailing mother but later to lead the pro-democracy movement. Aris' visit in Christmas 1995 turned out to be the last time that he and Suu Kyi met, as Suu Kyi remained in Burma and the Burmese dictatorship denied him any further entry visas.
Coincident with Aung San Suu Kyi's return to Burma in 1988, the long-time military leader of Burma and head of the ruling party, General Ne Win, stepped down. Mass demonstrations for democracy followed that event on 8 August 1988 , which were violently suppressed in what came to be known as the 8888 Uprising. On 26 August 1988, she addressed half a million people at a mass rally in front of the Shwedagon Pagoda in the capital, calling for a democratic government. However in September, a new military junta took power.Influencedby both Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of non-violenceand more specifically by Buddhist concepts,Aung San Suu Kyi entered politics to work for democratisation, helped found the National League for Democracy on 27 September 1988,but was put under house arrest on 20 July 1989. Offered freedom if she left the country, she refused.One of her most famous speeches was Freedom From Fear, which began: "It is not power that corrupts, but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it."In 1990, the military junta called a general election, in which the National League for Democracy (NLD) received 59% of the votes, guaranteeing NLD 80% of the parliament seats. Some claim that Aung San Suu Kyi would have assumed the office of Prime Ministerin fact, however, as she was not permitted, she did not stand as a candidate in the elections (although being a MP is not a strict prerequisite for becoming PM in most parliamentary systems). Instead, the results were nullified and the military refused to hand over power, resulting in an international outcry. Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest at her home on University Avenue in Rangoon, during which time she was awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990, and the Nobel Peace Prize the year after. Her sons Alexander and Kim accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf. Aung San Suu Kyi used the Nobel Peace Prize's 1.3 million USD prize money to establish a health and education trust for the Burmese people. Around this time, Suu Kyi chose non-violence as an expedient political tactic, stating in 2007, "I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons, howe ver, nonviolent action as well as civil resistance in lieu of armed conflict are also political tactics in keeping with the overall philosophy of her Theravada Buddhist religion.Aung San Suu Kyi has been placed under house arrest for 15 of the past 21 years, on numerous occasions, since she began her political career, during which time she was prevented from meeting her party supporters and international visitors. In an interview, Suu Kyi said that while under house arrest she spent her time reading philosophy, politics and biographies that her husband had sent her. She also passed the time playing the piano, and was occasionally allowed visits from foreign diplomats as well as from her personal physician.The Burmese government detained and kept Suu Kyi imprisoned because it viewed her as someone "likely to undermine the community peace and stability" of the country, and used both Article 10(a) and 10(b) of the 1975 State Protection Act (granting the government the power to imprison people for up to five years without a trial),and Section 22 of the "Law to Safeguard the State Against the Dangers of Those Desiring to Cause Subversive Acts" as legal tools against her.She continuously appealed her detention, and many nations and figures continued to call for her release and that of 2,100 other political prisoners in the country. On 12 November 2010, days after the junta-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) won elections conducted after a gap of almost 20 years, the junta finally agreed to sign orders allowing Suu Kyi's release, and Suu Kyi's house arrest term came to an end on 13 November 2010.

Sayeed Babu ২০১৩.০১.২৭ ২০:৪৩: Suu Kyi has shown the world her real face keeping her mouth shut about the persecutions of Rohingas. Suu Kyi has also shown that most of the Noble peace prize awards are not above controversy. Only a few Noble peace prize winners deserve the prize.
