Hasina's stand

In her press release, she also demanded that the prime minister relinquish her office immediately, as the public has lost confidence in the government. What she has failed to realise is that the citizens have also lost confidence in the opposition. We have a prime minister whose government consists of left wing ultra neo liberals, who are responsible for corruption, and on the other hand, we have a major opposition leader who is utterly conservative and absolutely incapable of controlling her mouth. She will go to any lengths to tarnish the image of Bangladesh. Rather than calling for national solidarity, and show of strong resolve, she is out in public and among journalists to tarnish our image, culture and secular democratic values that we cherish since 1971.

What she had suggested is wrong. Bangladesh is a progressive & self correcting democratic country in the South Asian region. It is an icon of freedom, and a symbol of progressive movement. Hindus, Christians, and Muslims are free to express their opinions, and choose their own religions, and way of lives. Women are the fastest growing working class that has an active role in today's economic, social, and political arena. As a result, in the last decade and a half, Bangladesh had two female prime ministers.
