Dear Alochok Mahathir
We have often fought in the past and it is likely we will fight in the future.
But this is because I see a disconnect between your past statements and your statement below:
"Untill and unless we educated citizens of the country focus on how we can change attitude and behaviour of our leaders, we can not make country progress at a satisfactory pace."
Perhaps I was wrong in the past. But I am wholeheartedly committed to your statement above. It is encouraging indeed.
The question then is do we want our leaders to change or do we want to change our leaders? If we can't change our leaders why would we expect our leaders to change?
Democracy means being able to change your leaders. We can't do that. Because we don't really have a proper democracy.
Thank you for a wonderful email which is a fine example of hope and inevitable change.
Warm regards
Ezajur Rahman

They shouldn't say like that they would make BAL leaders to run in the corridor of court by suing them and winter of Mag would also come for BAL leaders. Firstly, because we want get rid of the vicious cycle of vindictive politics. Secondly, such statement will increase BAL's atrocity. They will think whatever happens later, they will see. Now they will try to torture BNP and it’s supporters to such a level that BNP does not have the ability to take revenge.

They will take law at their hand, this will badly damage the image of newly formed govt and anti BNP media like Prothom-alo, will high light it very badly though Alo didn’t mention the political identity of rapist who raped mother and daughter on the previous night of Vola-3 by election as they were workers and leaders of BAL.

For example, BNP leaders should not use the ambigous world like "selling of the country". rather they should use very specific world such as "sacrificying the interest of the country" so that BAL propaganda mechine can not interpret it differently and raise question about it . BNP can use council of advisers to Khaleda zia for forming such group.

Unless and untill attitude and behaviour of party workers and supporters change, violence and tender snatching , torture on women will not be reduced by administrative measures. The sooner our leaders understand that, the beterr is it for our Country and nation.
