BNP's stunt
According to the top leader and other leaders, the BNP is the only political party and its members are the true patriots in Bangladesh. There are no other patriots in Bangladesh. According to them all other people who support other parties and follow other political ideologies, are traitors and are continuously trying to sell out the country to outside powers. They sincerely believe that the present mohajote government was installed by foreign powers and working for foreign interests. The BNP leaders have voiced demand for an interim election to test the present government's popularity because this government has failed everywhere, people are already fed up with this government and eagerly waiting for change of power.
The above is the theme of the political campaign of the BNP. Many media outlets publish the above theories of the BNP with beautiful pictures of their leaders in the newspapers and TV channels.
I believe this is a self-deceiving and befooling campaign for the people. I suggest every word our politicians say should not be aired unless they have some logic , especially the ones which spread discontentment among people. What the BNP leaders say have no logic and do not merit publication in the media. What the media could do is to keep mum on words which have no basis. False propaganda and idiotic utterances by anyone should not get publicised by the media.
The media is the conscience of the nation.
