Dear Ejaz aka angry young man
What is good for the gander is good for the goose. Please note that every single post of yours includes a similar but "opposite fetish" . So much so one doesnt even have to read it to know the salient points. Please do extend the same courtesy to be blind as a bat and deaf as a lamp post to others if they choose.
Have a pleasant new year.

What garbage is written here by Shahnoor Wahid! So effortlessly lapped up gleefully by Farida - even highlighting her favourite phrases! Like any partisan creature, she could not pretend intellectual neutrality for too long.
Shahnoor is as blind as a bat and as blind as the opposition he imagines he is mocking.
In his entire piece the only facts and figures, the only evidence mooted, is the Louisiana Pact!
Oh yeah! And the Malaysians made a phone call. Was it to invest in Desh? Was it to send back 300,0000 labourers? was it to ensure Deshis can't marry Malaysians? Who know! Who cares! 'Some bilateral business deals'. Wow! Maybe Rwanda could be interested too! No need to talk about it in detail when he's given so much detail about the freaking Lousiana Pact!
He thinks we are going to become a leader of South Asia! Even though we have yet to show in decades that we can stand up to anyone with even words.
He thinks we can't be intimidated! Even though India shoots one Deshi every 4 days without a whisper from Dhaka.
He thinks we're beating India in some sectors! Even though we are simply a captive market for India.
Hey Shahnoor! Stop looking at stupid Khaleda 24/7 and look at your party once in a whlile.
Nonsense.

> WHEN the opposition takes a position before anything worth opposing happens, what happens to the position of the opposition? The answer to the riddle is it becomes a case of severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. The opposition becomes obsessed with a thought that has no connection with reality. And it starts to do things compulsively no matter how much damage it might cause to its mental health.
>
> Like one possessed, opposition stalwarts would continue to babble and berate; r! ant and rave, about something that has only happened in their foggy im agination. You tell them in all earnestness about the state of their mental health but nothing would make them see reason. They would not come out of it. The situation would soon begin to go out of their hand.
>
> One fine morning they would put on their best suits and saris, and pajamas that would not slip off, and invite the press to make a great show of politicking. They would make painful efforts so that their "concern" for the future of the country would show on their wrinkled foreheads. In a masochistic manifestation, they would accuse the government of selling the country off to India through secret deals. In a schizophrenic stupor, they would keep saying the same thing, over and over again, never waiting to know whether people believed in what they said or not.
>
> At night, in neurotic nightmares, they would see wild Indian mares chasing them down the slopes of mountains, thus causing them to wake up sweating and swearing. What a predicam! ent the prime minister has gotten them into! She should have been aware of the mental state of the members of the opposition and acted accordingly. She should have stuck to the traditional foreign policy with India that has been pursued by their predecessors since 1947.
>
> This phobia of selling the entire country, lock, stock and barrel to India reminds us of the actual purchase by the United States of America of a big landmass, which is known as Louisiana Purchase. Documents say: "The Louisiana Purchase (French: Vente de la Louisiane "Sale of Louisiana") was the acquisition by the United States of America of 828,800 square miles (2,147,000 km2) of the French territory Louisiana in 1803. The U.S. paid 60 million francs ($11,250,000) plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs ($3,750,000), a total cost of 15 million dollars for the Louisiana territory.

> "The Louisiana Purchase encompassed all or part of 14 current U.S. states and two ! Canadian provinces. The land purchased contained all of present-day Ar kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, parts of Minnesota that were west of the Mississippi River, most of North Dakota, nearly all of South Dakota, northeastern New Mexico, the portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide, and Louisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans. (The Oklahoma Panhandle, and southwestern portions of Kansas and Louisiana were still claimed by Spain at the time of the Purchase.) In addition, the Purchase contained small portions of land that would eventually become part of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The purchase, which doubled the size of the United States, comprises around 23% of current U.S. territory. The population was estimated to be 97,000 as of the 1810 census." (Source:

> In the press conference the opposition leaders went on to a frenzied finality detailing how the government succumbed to the demands of India, w! ent down on its knees and handed over everything on a silver platter and came back empty handed. What an insidious inference! What a simpletonic surmise! They made every effort to make the media buy their words. Their career depended on that.
>
> Did the media buy that stuff? Did the nation believe what they said? A handful of newspapers and electronic channels loyal to them printed articles and organised some talk shows to peddle the stuff further among the masses. They could not find many buyers. It has come as a rude awakening to them that even the man on the street has the wisdom to say, "Let's wait and see".
>
> It became conspicuous from day one that the opposition would say exactly what they did about the treaties and MoUs signed in India after the return of the prime minister. They had their draft ready but they hadn't done their homework well. The handful of "wise" brains cooked something in a hurry and the leaders served them before the! crowd. It was bland and tasteless. End of the day it did not ensure a higher berth for the opposition in the esteem of the people.
>
> The India-Bangladesh agreements on some of the vital issues are need of the time and these would be materialised on the basis of mutual respect and not intimidation. As a fast developing nation we shall have to move ahead to become a leader and not a follower in South-Asia. We are ahead in many sectors, even compared with the corresponding sectors in India, so now is the time to take the quantum leap...no more crawling. Recently Malaysia has shown interest to strike some bilateral business deals with Bangladesh. Now, should we suspect the motive behind such interest?
>
> We would like to see the opposition organise similar press conferences to demand punishment of the murderers of ASM Kibria; real culprits of grenade attack on Awami League rally, Ramna Botomul bombing and Udichi bombing; demand arrest of all militants; demand trial and punishment of the War Criminals and killers of ! Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and four national leaders in Dhaka Central Jail. The silence of the opposition and its leaders regarding these nationally important issues gives rise to many unpleasant gossips. Shouldn't the opposition give efforts to stop such gossips?
