Some BNP stalwarts urge Khaleda (May 18, 2010) That's interesting… only problem is the red shirts are poor people from the villages where the AL has big support and the BNP should like the yellow shirts, manipulative, urban elites with ties to the military and Pakistan.
S Khan This is sort of a joke for a party which couldn't even walk three kilometres to finish their so called march against the election results in Bhola. Other than hired men, who will even spend three hours under the BNP banner? And will these people risk their lives for two months? I don't think so.
Neena Look East Policy, again!
Farid Ahmed It's ridiculous that both the parties can only think of coming to power (rather than thinking about people's welfare) and ousting the other party to grab power, if need be. It's also ridiculous that after less than two years in opposition, the BNP is desperate to come back to power. While the Awami League hasn't done anything spectacular, they at least haven't yet started the practice of making the party chief's son(s) the centre of corruption.
Shafkat Hoping is good, but look at your past before hoping! Only the lazy supporters believe you, not the people! It you have the base, establish it in the ground, not in talks!
Prodip K. Roy The perspectives are totally different. If the BNP arouses people to topple the government the 'RED SHIRT' way, it will only lead to violence. Each elected government finished their full terms. The BNP has to wait.
Nasirullah Mridha If the BNP resorts to illegal means to oust a democratic government, the government should do everything to stop the uprising before it starts. Anarchy should not triumph over democracy.
N. Ali We support and elect these types of parties and expect development! We citizens should be blamed for our choice.
Shafiqul Islam Will the senior leaders ever make comments reflecting their seniority & wisdom?
Aneira There we go.... hopefully BNP revolutionaries would remember the colour 'red' means something different in the political lexicon....go ahead with red revolution then!
Mukul Ahmed Bravo, our politicians! They are not observing how much the Thai economy is suffering due to this. Foreign investors, companies are worried about Thailand due to this political volatility. We do not follow good examples!
MK Congratulations to the BNP and its chairperson for making one of the dumbest comments ever! Any political party should work towards protecting the citizens and promoting peace and unity. Instigating the country towards violence, death and unrest is not the way to go!
Shahreen We hope Madam Zia will give hope to her countrymen, not frustration. She may have different views over government decisions but should not declare such programmes. Let people decide.
Hoque MJ How smart and constructive. The Thai protesters were being funded by the ousted premier Thaksin, and a similar protest in Bangladesh will be funded by those who were in power in the past.
Moin How can any responsible politician even think of starting a violent movement to remove the party in power? This is not Thailand.
Mir If high level politicians think that opposition politics means only road blockade and hartal, they should study politics of the 21st century and on the scientific and mathematical analysis that are also involved.
Anonymous The BNP was in power and people saw their activities. People were not satisfied and so they voted for the Awami League. If the BNP disturbs and disrupts the peaceful situation of Bangladesh in the name of agitation, it will pay a high price.
Kazi Firoz Are those leaders, supporting 'red-shirt' programmes in Bangladesh, freak?
S G Don't start another ugly chapter in our politics. Dear Leaders, don't act emotionally. If the govt is not doing well, people will change it.
