"Without assigning any reason"
Sir, Clause 9 (2) of 'Bangladesh Public Servants Retirement Act. 1974’ mentions the government may. al any time, retire from service a public servant who has completed twenty-five years of service without assigning any reason.'
I consider the inclusion of the last four words tn the clause is a gross violation of basic human rights and, therefore, legally untenable. No action of any individual, society, group, class or government which affects the life, peace and happiness of other Individual or group can be taken without assigning any reason'.
A government servant enters into a contract while
Joining service. Can there be any contract where any party can lake any action 'without • assigning any reason'? 1 like to draw the attention of our legal thinkers as well as preachers of human rights lo this clause, which. I am sure. Is a legacy of the rules and regulations framed during Pakistan days. This must have been adopted in Bangladesh without anyone going Into the implications of the words. 1 would also like to get a clarification from the Establishment Division of the government and would like to know if the service rules of any other country other than those of Pakistan and Bangladesh contain such a clause. The words 'without assigning any reason', in my opinion, cuts across the very concept of human rationality. No rational being can do anything affecting
another rational being without assigning any reason.'
It may be argued that there are reasons which is known to government but are not being 'assigned' or 'put forward'. 1 consider that also against natural Justice. Justice, as the saying goes, should not only be done, it should also be shown as done. Transparency in all actions Is what makes democracy worthwhile. It Is only an autocrat who does things against others 'without assigning any reason'.
Recently a good number of government servants of various departmerits have been ordered to go on retirement under the said Act of 1974. An official who has been given such order has the right to know the reason why he has been singled out while thousands of others who have
also completed 25 years of service are retained in service. If no reason Is assigned then the affected official can believe that he is being victimised for personal grudge' or on 'hearsay' or any other fictitious ground which would not stand to logical and rational scrutiny.
When we are fighting against all black laws would not it be worthwhile to look Into such Illogical clauses affecting government servants, who after serving the government for 25 years, deserve rational treatment from the employer?

Killing of Dr Milon
Sir, The killing of Dr Milon Is still shrouded In mystery. The spot where Dr Milon was
killed was crowded with anti-Ershad activists at the time of ' his killing. In the adjoining areas, the armed cadres of All Party Students Unity (APSU) were fighting with the pro-Er-shad armed group. A rigorous, rational analysis could hardly Justify the killing of Dr Milon by the bullets coming from the opposite side of the Suhrawardy Udyan where the pro-Ershad armed cadres took position. The other day, all but ohc accused of Dr Milon murder case have been acquitted reversing the hitherto-known belief that Dr Milon was killed by the bullets of the pro-Ershad armed activists.
History always does not record the truth. Very often history is beset with even downright falsehoods. The killing of Dr Milon has been a
glaring example substantiating the above statements. The recent developments centring Dr Milon murder case force us to believe that nobody was killed named Dr Milon, at the height of antl-Ershad' movement on the road beside the Tcachcrs-Studcnts Centre fTSC) road-Island. But wc saw with our own eyes the dead body of a young man who was identified as Dr Milon. Against this backdrop, the questions arise who were the real killers of Dr Milon? Should they not be brought to book? Should the people not know what truth had been hidden In the folds of 1990 anti-Ershad movement?
