Just as your opponent does, you too, often, talk about the ideals of democracy. Just as your opponent does, you too, often, talk about injustice, intolerance and so on and so on and so on ... ... As a former prime minister, you too are privy to the real corridors of power and hubris. I am sorry to pronounce, that, you too, flunked utterly.

Well, bygone is bygone. Despite your failings, as a person of secular orientation, I, still, am willing to cast my lot with that of the Awami League (AL).

But before that, would you care to explain, why a party with such history and diversity remained stuck with a single leader for 25 years? It is not wrong for the daughter of a great leader to follow her father's path. But it is wrong to cling to such position after a catastrophic debacle (of last election) on the way. And it is doubly wrong, when you keep blaming the other guy for your own failings. The BNP played the game fair and square and they won. It was not their fault that you failed!

Yes, after the sad demise of Bangabandhu, may be, you were the needed glue to prevent an Awami entropy. But it is a quarter of a century now. If the AL still cannot get over, none is going to prevent its eventual demise.

Dear leader,

May be, you already have served your noble purpose.
