The leader
An interesting write-up of September 19in the pages of a local English daily reaffirms what we feel best describes the BNP. It does not stand for 'Bangladesh Nationalist Party'; but 'Boro Natokio Party' (in Bangla). In line with these words, the "Netri" too likes to create "Natok"; even for a routine matter, like joining parliament!
She wants to be away and absent, but draws every paisa as allowance and travel expenses; remaining a permanently absent MP! Morally for MPs, it should be no work, no allowances and facilities! After all, theirs is a temporary job for five years and extension of tenure depends on the employer, in this case, the voters.
Our 'Netri' believes in "demon-cracy", not democracy; where might is right, and 'right' is meant for the waste paper basket! Where my house, my sons, my 'this' and my 'that' it is not only her desire, but the 'Netri' misguidedly believes it to be the most important national priority!
As for her descendents, they only believe in "grab as grab can"; which is wealth in 'all forms and shapes and sizes' that enables them to be able to afford long stints of "health tourism" in various parts of the world!
So much, for their love for the country! The BNP 'Netri' and her kith and kin, believe in the upside-down sayings. For them, these are: "wealth is health" and "power is knowledge"! Nothing else matters!
