[ALOCHONA] What is a bad leader?

Dear Mr. Hossain,

I will give you credit - you are not afraid to use your name in this forum, unlike that Mahathir lover.

Now to the heart of the matter - something that I really want to understand. When do you consider a leader inept? I am sure you love Bangladesh as much as anyone else. But what does it take for a leader to be considered a failure? Where do you draw the line?

Khaleda Zia became Prime Minister of Bangladesh on her own credit and elected by the people. She was not there by virtue of the mighty gun. 99% of Bangladeshis belong to lower-middle or middle class. To what class Mr Ezajur belong to? To what class Gen Moen Uddin Ahmed belong to? Royal class? Are you asking us to worship you? Sorry I am not worshiping Hasina or Khaleda. Both of them are leading two large political parties for more than two decades. They posses strong leadership qualities. Your Gen Moen has tried to form one political party with the help of C grade politicians and Nobel Prize winner but has failed to even kick off.
 
These army boot lickers have lost their minds.

Dear Alochoks

Or perhaps I should prefer the State visit of Khaleda to Kuwait a
couple of years ago. Yes, perhaps her visit was more dignified than
the visit of Moeen U Ahmed.

She wanted to buy some jewellery. She was advised that the finest
jewellers in Kuwait would happily take a wide selection of pieces to
her hotel. She was advised to go to a prestigious location. But she
took the advice of some idiots and went to one of the worst gold
markets in Kuwait. As she walked through the shops onlookers were
bemused by her entourage. Who is she? Why is she here? The market
that seldom saw an upper middle class Indian was now graced by the
Prime Minister of Bangladesh. Of course our jonogonists will say she went to the shops of the common man. But of course she bought nothing
there and in the end went to an exclusive shop and purchased a few
trinkets and baubles - costing well beyond the dreams of the common
man. Any idea how much she spent?

Good old Bangladeshi democracy.

It's a slapstick comedy.

Regards

Ezajur Rahman
