BNP and Jamaat
We saw an interesting poster many years back. A man was holding a placard written “I am against everything”. The BNP has been stricken with this syndrome. The Secretary General and his associates see nothing positive in the election preparation, procedures, EC rules etc. As they know that defeat will be their fate they are always in the denial mode. The BNP learned nothing from history. They destroyed the country, unleashed a reign of terror, terrorized and vandalized the minorities and political opponents, politicised the administration and other institutions and what not. The list is unending. They pushed back the country at least ten years through misrule. But neither their chairperson changed her attitudes nor her 'obedient co-politicians. They still think that the country belongs to them only. People are their serfs. They keep on hardening their stance with the govt. in every dialogue, try to dictate terms and bend the EC and the government. How much and how long the government will capitulate to their undue demands?
Actually, the BNP does not exist now. A party called “Jamaat' exists and the BNP has become its associate organisation. BNP policies are all dictated by Jamaat leaders. Audacity of the “Jamaat' reached new heights in the recent past.
We think the government needs to stop the appeasement policy and handle them firmly. That may bring them back to senses. Our country can run well without the anti-liberation forces and vandals.
