Dear Alochok Hossain
The plot may indeed fail. But it may indeed succeed too. This is
Bangladesh remember. Those carrying it out are not from Mars - they
understand the country well enough. Personally I don't care if Saifur
and Hafiz need police escorts in their constituencies - because I
know about BNP in their constituencies. Their local BNP party men
never did a darn thing about the corruption. Rather they were looking
forward to attending the walima of Khaleda and Falu.
These same party men would have used guns and black money to keep
Saifur in power.
You may pray for the plot to fail - and hence a return of Khaleda-
Tariq. I cannot.
Best wishes
Ezajur Rahman

without police escort. However, they will win the election because
army will stam ballots for them. Very sad that Bangladesh is
following the road map of Pakistan. Because in both countries Khakis
are in power.

day before she was detained on September 3, for their `involvement in
activities against the party'. The same day she appointed Khandaker

a letter to the EC informing it about the latest changes in the party
hierarchy. It also said the commission should contact the new
secretary general for any official purpose.

appointment as the secretary general and requested the EC to make all
correspondence with Bhuiyan.

Ahmed was sent to the EC along with the resolution of the October 29
meeting which named Saifur Rahman and Hafizuddin Ahmed as acting

not approve the expulsion of former secretary general Abdul Mannan
Bhuiyan.
