[ALOCHONA] Re: BNP: Sadeque Hossain Khoka charged with Taka 10cr fraud

Khoka is BNP. Thats why he says he is BNP, thats why BNP sponsored
his mayoral candidacy, thats why BNP command allowed him to make so
much money. The only different thing about Khoka is that he was given
a chance to breathe by the CTG, same as Manan Bhuiyan.

People who really love Ziaur Rahman and who really love BNP and who
really care about Bangladesh should first demand the removal of
Khaleda as Chairperson. That is real democracy, that is real courage,
that is developing the party and that is honouring our nationhood.
This jeedhi politics of focusing only on nethri puja and so called
BNP traitors is childish, selfish and ugly.

Khoka is BNP. He is a TYPICAL BNP NETHA under Khaleda.

You can't play these selective, short term memory, political games
anymore. As if Falu and Mirza and Harris and all the others are REAL
BNP!

Khoka could not have been Mayor of Dhaka and head of BNP Dhaka
without Tareq's command. And if Khoka was in jail on 12/1/07 you
would be calling him a real BNP netha!

Maybe you do love BNP. But you need to understand the meaning of the
word 'standards' before you can really help BNP. There is much more
to standards than nethri puja.
