Re: [ALOCHONA] Re: Fw: Prime Minister or Chief Minister?



Contrary to your hyperbolic argument, the former opposition (BAL) is equally responsible for not opposing Indian govt and its aggressions. I hope you are also aware that in a unicameral system, such as ours, the opposition becomes a symbolic entity while the ruling authority steamrolls through everything. Just the way BAL is doing now. So, whether BNP or BAL were in opposition, and whether they played any role in opposing bad policies is a theoretical argument that assumes a participatory democracy, which, needless to say, we are not when it comes our legislative body.
 
The problem with the right-wing opposition is that they make it sound like only BAL is responsible for our misery, and the nationalist govt. had nothing to do with it. That argument is outright false. You, or anyone doesn't have to accept my point of view, because it is not a point of view. The miserable legacy of both BNP and AL are facts that are right before us. Whether you choose to accept them or not is your prerogative.

If we accept Cyrus' point of view as a fact that Begum Zia as a Prime Minister had ignored the dam issue willling or unwillingly when she was in charge but my point is: where were our opposition leader back then? and by the way, where were those back-ender or rear-ender civil societies and the media, doing then?

Today, BNP is not in power as BAL was not in power back then. BTW If BNP can make a political issue now, why didn't BAL or so-called left-wing dingbats make a political issue back then?

By calling Didi Zia or Chief Minister Zia, if the so-called left-wing dingbats try to escape or evade their duties or responsibilites then how does the left-wing-mongers' philosophy differs from the right-wingers?

AL govt. is by no means perfect, but it was the BNP govt. that allowed construction of several other dams in India, allowed water allocation and reservation, almost gave up big chunks of the Sundarban, and I can name a few other stupid things that they had done. Where was the community outrage then? Madam Zia should have been called Didi Zia or Chief Minister Khaleda.
