Khaleda's vow
We remember some of her popular phrases she frequently used during her premiership of Bangladesh like; "Shadinota nosshatter cheshta cholchhey" meaning conspiracy is going on to destroy the independence of the country, "Ekti-mahal desh bikri kortey chai" meaning one group wants to sell out the country, "Unnoyoner joar dekhe vitu hoya ekti-mahal deshey orajajokata christri korchey" meaning seeing the wave of development of her government a certain group has become scared and trying to create anarchy in the country. She used the above phrases so many times that the people of Bangladesh have learnt them by heart and will not forget in the foreseeable future.
She is now out of power, so those phrases are out of place to use. Her latest phrases to keep her supporters active and energetic are; "This government has failed in every sector, so she will compel the government to resign. " "This government is filing court cases against the opposition leaders to divert the public mind.” “This government is serving the foreign powers who have installed it to power” etc. Her present threat is country-wide agitation to topple the government to save the country.
Today, the 29th August, the DS has published a popularity survey of the present government. The survey report speaks quite differently from Begum Zia's conviction.
So, Begum Zia's vow of agitation after the holy month of Ramadan will not get much public support.
She should carefully examine the situation. Instead of agitation, she should join parliament.
