Khaleda's house
I believe the people of this country must know the present value of Begum Khaleda Zia's house. The value of 2.7 acres of land in cantonment area at one crore per khata is Taka 165 crore and 1.5 bigha of land on main Gulshan Avenue is worth Taka 60 crore at least. Till this issue came to public knowledge, I did not know that such huge houses can exist in a most land starved country on this globe.
Incompetent leaders have big hearts to give away public property worth millions when it does not cost them a penny, the magnitude of which is beyond imagination of common men. However, it was an untimely decision on the part of the present government which is in office for less than three months. Such issues could have been handled at a more appropriate and convenient time.
This government must provide enough evidence to the people that they are serious and capable of leading the nation to the correct path, handling urgent national issues on a priority basis. The issue of illegal gifts/ awards to the widow of a national war hero is not a top priority for the country at this time, which can only disrupt peace.
The global recession is real which needs urgent attention unless the Awami League is determined to destroy the good image it created after a long struggle.
