BNP and Tarique

Shafiqul Islam, NY
I have gone through the above captioned letter written by Dr. Shameem of New DHS, Dhaka on 14 July. I agree with him that it is an opportunity for the BNP to bring their 'Rising Sun of the East' out clean by winning the legal battle. Not only this money laundering case which the CTG started against him, there are many more stories and gossips against Tarique which need to be cleared from the public knowledge. The BNP reportedly believe that Mr. Tarique Zia is a talented future leader of Bangladesh who will be able to lead his country in the right direction. As per the public reading, excepting BNP supporters, Tarique's talent and IQ level are yet to be proved. His known companions have hazy backgrounds. He earned his reputation as king of 'Hawa Bhaban' and 'Mr. 10%' during the 4-party alliance government. If he wants to take our leadership, he should come home, face the challenges of cases and prove his innocence. I believe this is a golden opportunity for him now. Mere publicity by his mother's party men will not restore his image in Bangladesh. Let's wait and see what he does.
