Don't refuse flowers
We were glad learning that Sajib Wazed Joy, son of opposition leader Sheikh Hasina, accepted the bouquet sent by Tareque Rahman, son of Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, when he was visiting Bogra. We thought it was a good sign because flowers sent by Tareque Rahman had not been accepted in the past, and the bearers had been mistreated at Shudha Bhaban.
But our happiness was short lived, later we came to know that when the representatives of Tareque Rahman were offering the flowers, Joy's mother Sheikh Hasina who was behind his car, rolled down the window of her vehicle and shouted. Because she thought there might be bombs in the bouquet. The flowers were thrown a few metres away.
This was rather unfortunate.
