Previously, there have been incorrect predictions. Let us wait and see if this is really gas. 10-15 mmcfd is not much, but still valuable.

“History's metaphor” (June 23, 2014)
Hafeejul Alam
I beg to differ with the author in as much as Awami League is not a metaphor for democratic politics. It has survived but not in a democratic way. Sometimes, the dictators also survive but the duration is short and the effects are nasty and brutish.
If Awami League wants to survive better, it has to reorganise the party with the mantra of bottom-up instead of top-down. The people of Bangladesh prefer democracy to any sort of authoritarianism.

Historians must not forget that Awami League was abolished with the creation of BAKSAL in 1975 by the then parliament under Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

All of them are Muftis, Maulanas and Hafez. Lived long after killing so many innocent people, yet did not have any remorse or repentance. How hard and merciless are their hearts?
