Our stupid loser two women will always bring out karchupi (sukkhoo, sthulo, ....) whatever the reality.

I thought I have seen the bottom rock of bd politicans. BAL's recent move to ligalize fatwah has made me sick, i had more to see. if some of the bangabondhu's killers open a party, hasina would probably invite him in union as well

I wonder what will AL apologists say now. Does this party have any moral right to exist anymore?

Chi chi chi chi !!!! You are questioning the existential right of BAL !!! OMG. What is wrong with you brother. You just might be termed a "rajakar" by the BAL mouthpieces for even implying such a sinful thing.( even though there might not be a remote connection to the two but what the hell they dont need any logic, they can say anything they want since the country is their's by birth)

Seriously speaking, this is just another proof of BAL's double faced hypocritical nature. But I must say I am pleasantly surprised by the reaction of the senior party leader's and "citizen's" of the country who are actually BAL supporters, condemning this. Kudos to that. This incident once again goes to prove that the leadership of the two political parties need major overhauling and politics should not be treated as a hereditary right rather the positions should be earned by qualities and qualifications.

There was an interesting piece in the "letters to the editor" section in DS today. One gentleman pointed out that although both leaders of the party shout for democracy they actually run their own parties through Autocracy which proves how big hypocrites they are. He suggested, to hold a free election among the party members to elect the head, and the party leaders instead of the random autocratic way it is done now. I personally think his ideas are pretty good. This process could be a start to cleaning up the politics in BD. I am providing a link below for the members to read his letter.

Look at Prothom Alo. There is answer. They would not honor the agreement.Or as Mr jalil put it as just a MoU. So of no value and thus justified for greater benefit. Ha Ha. Similar argument can be applied for BNP to justify its association with JI.

[PoorFan]

I was shocked twice recently, one is 'bar on high court rule' ( disclosing candidate information ) and now this BAL agreement with Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish (BKM). None of our political parties give a hoot except power, so sad.

We desperately need people like Dr. Yunus in politics, who knows! BAL & BNP may form a coalition in that case.

I havent been following the news for the last few days so do not know what actually is going on with BAL and fotowabazs. But if it is true, shame on BAL.

regarding the undemocratic practices, BAL had open elections for chatro league for the first time in the history. However, I donno how this will solve any problems. No1 will speak against khaleda zia or sheikh hasina or vote them out. It would be more important if they had anonymous votes in the parliament, which would allow Mps to choose what they want by undermining the leaders choice. Since it will be anonymous, you cannot come after the person who goes against the leaders. but it leaves one caveat, who becomes MPS?

BBgun, have you read the letter that the link takes you to? I dont think you did. There the writer mentioned about holding anonymous yes/no votes to see if Hasina or Khaleda should remain at the helm of the parties and also choose a leader by voting. If you hold a paper vote, how on earth can the two bitches know which leaders voted against them? But the thing is, it is not realistically possible because the bitches would never hold any votes like this to oust themselves. No matter how stupid they are they know that holding a vote might damage their position in the party. Therefore they wont do it.

Hmm I was wondering why did the orginal post by Miraz bhai disappear ? Anyone care to explain ?

Or is it that oi potrikar manushra object koreche ebong eita ke shriye dite boleche since ei news mone hoy poisha diye buy kore porte hoy and free nah. Still can someone explain why ?

[BangladeshFan]

out of the votes, more than 60% went to bnp or awami league and this is coming from an internet forum whose participants are educated enough to be better than most bangladeshis. we never learn do we? seeing this... i lost my interest to vote

[Hatebreed]

I think there should be another option for those not willing to vote for any of those, and perhaps also those waiting for a better, younger and more promising party to emerge. LDP may be gaining popularity, 15 votes already is quite a proportion, but it's still old wine in new bottle!

well, thats because there's still a part in each of us that wants to choose the better of two major worsts, and can't it be said that most of those choices are being made based on our traditional hatred for one party of the other (of the two major ones) ?

Not only BAL & BNP but also all the current parties will be together to defend that coming honest party.

BD politics will inevitably make a honest person become dishonest. There's just too much corruption to overcome. Now why'd one want a man like Dr. Younus get himself tangled with politics ? He's fine where he is... but at the same time, the thought comes : will the state of BD politics ever improve if its left on its own. The two major parties will continue to destroy the country (which the country will quite astoundingly keep on sustaining, the way it has been...).

That's ( the bold part ) exactly the reason I picked up the name Dr. Yunus.

HB, I voted for LDP knowing 'same old wine in new bottle', at least to refuse BAL or BNP anyway, and make them realize. I am sure so was most of the LDP votes here.
