'Minus-two formula'

Engr. Md. Aminul Hoque, East Rampur, Dhaka
Nowadays the PM is repeatedly referring to “minus-two formula” in rejecting the opposition demand for holding the next general election under a CTG. It is alleged that the last CTG plotted to end the political career of both Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia, put both of them behind bars and pressured them to leave the country. But what she does not say is that it was she and her party who were the architect of CTG. And now, like everyone, she has forgotten the past and taken all steps to bury the CTG. In a recent commentary, the editor of The Daily Star opined that the present government is characterised by arrogance, whims and vengeance. The Daily Star on June 30 published a news in the front page headlined, "CG must; CG never," referring to the addresses of Hasina and Khaleda in the parliament on budget discussion. One cannot be blamed if one looks for the answer in “minus-two formula.”
