223 ) (গল্প - 1) আসামের জঙ্গলে - 15 (IN THE FOREST OF ASSAM - 15)।-Written by Junayed Ashrafur Rahman ✒
🌟🌟🌟 ENGLISH VERSION ✒
After crossing the gate of the shrine, having breakfast at a hotel on the side of the main road, I (Ratul) went up to Laguna and went to Zakiganj. As per the information, I took a rickshaw and went to a Colony near side of the deep forest. The houses in that neighborhood are about three hundred meters away from each other. I have been told that only one person from this neighborhood works as an assistant to that weapons dealer. But I was only told the name of that person and the colony - so I started walking carefully through that colony.
I finally found a shop. Shop means, shopping for daily necessities like kerosene, muri (driedly fried rice), matches etc.
The shop owner is over sixty years old. I asked him to give me muri after sitting on the bench in front of the shop. While I was eating the muri , the shop owner asked me, "Here, Where are you wanting to go?" I said the man's name, "I came to meet with him."
Shop owner: - What do you need with him?
I: - He had an acquaintance with one of my grandfathers in Dhaka. My grandfather sent me to meet with him.
- You can't meet him.
- Why?
- He died a long time ago.
- Do you know him?
- He's my father-in-law.
- Is he your father-in-law?
- Of course. He is also my maternal uncle. My home is in Karimganj, Assam. During the partition of the country in 1947, my father, grandfather and great-grandfather moved to Karimganj in Assam. But my grandfather left me at our uncle's house to keep the property we left behind in Bangladesh. Later I married his daughter by him. You can tell me that you are in need with my father-in-law.
I stopped eating and said, "Can you help me with that need?"
The shop owner said softly in a little surprise, "What's the need, that I can't cooperate with the need?"
Then I said, "Your father-in-law had an affair with an weapons dealer. I want to know, who is that weapons dealer?"
He said in astonishment, "Who are you?"
I said, "CBI officer."
He said nervously, "What is the proof that you are a CBI officer?"
Then I started speaking Hindi and Assamese fluently. Then he also started speaking Bhojpuri language. I also spoke Bhojpuri language then. He said with some fear, "I can cooperate with you on one condition, that is - do not tell the administration or police of Bangladesh, even the police or administration of India - about me."
I: - I will keep your identity secret.
- In fact, even though my father-in-law is a Bangladeshi citizen, he was extremely pro-Indian. And he believed in his heart that in the future, Assam, Sylhet and Mymensingh would be united like before 1947. The extremists in Assam took advantage of my father-in-law's condition. They explained to my father-in-law that they were generous and true patriots. They also want to unite Mymensingh, Sylhet and Assam for the economic development of the people. In fact, they were illegal weapons dealers. But speaking of nationalism, they built an illegal weapons depot in Zakiganj with my father-in-law. Extremists used to buy cheap weapons from the rebels in the northern part of Myanmar and hide them in Zakiganj, Bangladesh with the help of my father-in-law. And my father-in-law also he cooperated with them without understanding the actual issue. At one time a man came from Dhaka and explained to my father-in-law that although his home was in Rajshahi, He is ready to cooperate with the people of the North-East. Some extremists from Assam were also present. The man has an agreement with them, he will also bring weapons and deposit them in Zakiganj. Since then, more illegal weapons have been imported. But due to increased security on the Bangladesh-India border and a slight increase in the Indian government's crackdown on extremists. For this reason, extremists in Assam and those weapons dealers in Bangladesh were forced to stop importing illegal weapons.
But by then my father-in-law had run out of money. Because, by bringing illegal weapons to Bangladesh, with my...
