Friends
I am in full agreement with Sajjad Hossain that BAL will surely particiapte in the upcoming election unless they smell something oterwise from the master beyond the border.
Had BAL not participated 1986 election under Luichcha ershad there would have been end of the Bishaw Behaia ????????????????????????????
So, friends just ignore what hasina says as she a "Mukhara Romony" who needs to be tamed for the sake of good politics and decency and ethics.

It is immaterial now whether or not Hasina, former Prime Minister, participates in the Bangladesh National Election. It would be her own decision. But does she think she is she above Law? She is being charged with corruption and for misappropriating large amount of public money. All she has now to do is to prove that she did not misappropriate and try to get out of the imprisonment in a hurry to participate in the ensuing election. It is no defense for her whether others also laundered money. She mentioned Dr. Kamal's name. Assuming that they did and she knew about their corruption as well while she was the Prime Minister, where does that put her in eyes of the Law - a corroborator, a comrade in crime? When the speeder tells a traffic cop to save his/her skin that others were also speeding. All that the cop has to says: "But I got you."
To balance my own act as an impartial observer from abroad I may ask a mother: does she know where her child is at 11 o'clock at night? Did Mrs. Zia know what her sons were doing ?----- Original Message ----

Do not worry. Awami League had participated all elections in past (except 2007). They will participate even Sk. Mujib tells them from heaven not to. You show them some money (as Ershad did in 1986) and carrots, they will jump on it. They did not participate 2007 election because they thought the CTG would install them in power like 1996 by Justice (Retd) Habibur Rahman.SHHasina asks party not to contest polls without her
Says she will not retire from politics
Courtesy New Age 28/4/08
Hasina, also a former prime minister, said this as she talked with her lawyers and relations in a makeshift courtroom on the Jatiya Sangsad complex after appearing in the special judge's court for hearing in the framing of charges in the MiG-29 corruption case.
'I have been asked to quit politics; but I will not retire from politics under any pressure,' she said.
'The people will decide whether I will be in politics,' said Hasina, adding that it would not be wise for her to quit politics as the people were being repressed.
Her counsel Quamrul Islam, also the acting general secretary of the city Awami League, told reporters after the talks that the party chief had advised the party leaders not to participate in any national elections without her.
Quamrul Islam, Sahara Khatun and Abdul Mannan briefed reporters after coming out of the court and they had one-to-one consultations with Hasina during the talks, for 20 minutes as allowed by the court.
'We asked our leader about the party's stand if she was barred from taking part in elections and she said the Awami League would not participate in any national elections without her,' Quamrul said.
Referring to the military-controlled government, the former prime minister said, 'They do not mean trial in any case, but want to convict me at any cost to bar me from taking part in the elections.'
Hasina said that she had challenged the Anti-Corruption Commission's notification asking her wealth statement and the High Court declared it illegal saying that the law was faulty. The commission amended the law after the High Court verdict which the chief justice struck down.
'If the law was not faulty, then why was it amended? If this is the independence of the judiciary, how can we expect justice?'
When the lawyers called her attention to the remarks of the Gana Forum president, Kamal Hossain, where he had said the people who were calling for movement to free the detained offenders should to be tried as their associates, Hasina said, 'How can he [Kamal] speak against corruption after whitening Tk 102 crore?'
'What are the sources of the money?' Hasina said.
'I ensured rice for people for Tk 10 a kilogram and oil for Tk 40 a litre and now they are selling for Tk 40 and Tk 120… It proves who are the corrupt,' she said.
