The government is there...
The government still remains in power even after the expiry of 30th April 2004 deadline. April 30 is a day of significance and will be remembered for three reasons. The Awami League (AL) not only fooled the BNP-led four party alliance government but also the entire nation by continuously saying that the government would be forced to resign or be toppled on that particular date. AL general secretary Abdul Jalil has failed to earn the status of an astrologer. His dream has been shattered; rather it was a nightmare for him.
So all the astrologers of the country are happy because no harm has been done to their profession. The long awaited and much publicized drama, '30 April' produced by the Awami League, directed by Abdul Jalil and instructed by Sheikh Hasina failed to attract the spectators. Instead of becoming a box-office hit, it was a super flop.
