Negative politics
All actions and all steps taken by opponents are not anti-state or anti-people.
In the game of political musical chair, one will dislodge the other and will sit for some time and then lose again, that is the rule of this game. But in case of the BNP, its party leaders think that the chair is reserved for them and none have the right to vie for it. Our ears have become used to listening similar utterances of the BNP about conspiracy, selling out of our country to others, tarnishing the image of the country by opposition etc. etc. in each and every public meeting, every time she met the journalists or spoke to foreign dignitaries. According to her belief, the people have voted her but the opponents have manipulated the election results and grabbed state power. So, she cannot digest this conspiracy and accept the result graciously. She has done what she was expected to do and rejected the election results. Anyhow, she has lost her throne and is now engaged in undermining all acts and steps being taken by her opponents.
She and her secretary general are opposing any trial move of the present government calling it anti-state. By doing so she is trying to create panic in the public mind just to discredit the present government. Such misinformation and misleading activities are destructive and anti-state. She should refrain from doing so. The people will not believe that everything this government is trying to do in public interest is bad.
She is boycotting parliament just because her party members were not given the seats which were allocated by the previous speaker unlawfully. The people have given time to the present government and the BNP should allow them to wait and see.
