[mukto-mona] An example of "Boot-Wrapped Democracy" in Bangladesh

Hasina, Khaleda sued to introduce boot-wrapped democracy

Barrister Shafique Ahmed Tuesday said the detained former prime ministers Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia had been sued only to introduce 'boot-wrapped democracy,' putting loyalists in power to malign democracy by depicting elected prime ministers as corrupt. The case was filed only to malign the former prime minister, adding charges were also pressed against another former prime minister Khaleda Zia.They have sued the former prime ministers only to introduce 'boot-wrapped democracy" in the name of new brand of democracy… To that effect, they want to put their loyalists in power maligning the mainstream politicians and keeping them [politicians] out of the process of general elections. Another lawyer for Mr.Toufiq-e-Elahi,Mr. Sazwar Hossain argued the case was filed with mala fide intention as the then energy minister Nooruddin Khan, also a former army chief, was neither an accused nor a witness in the case.
