And what genuine and valid point/points you raised was not answered. I say genuine and valid point/points. Why you and people like you are uneasy when "good" deeds of Pakistan are mentioned. Pakistan was referred to with prospective of cricket only. Go and see the track record or ask someone who knows. Man, I did not mention 1971 genocide.
Yes, I understand how "sincere" you are to the cause of Yunus and Felani. So sincere that you cannot eat and sleep without mentioning Felani and Yunus. But for Heaven sake, keep them out of cricket stadium. Bangladesh is co-hosting the ICC World Cup for the first time in history and let us enjoy the game of cricket though we may not understand it fully. I am amazed by big live screen displays and running commentary on the radio in the streets of Dhaka, with people of all walks of life enjoying it.
Regarding IFIC Bank billboard, I don't understand what is bothering you. Is it IFIC Bank, the tournament or single picture of Hasina? By the way Islamic Bank has put many more billboards with single picture of Hasina than IFIC Bank. Why not mention Islamic Bank? To be honest I have seen many from Islamic Bank but don't recall seeing one from IFIC Bank.
And you mentioned that "the nation is on fire--------". Don't worry about it either. The nation will remain on fire till BNP and Jamaat comes back to power. But wait till the elections; don't put the nation on fire now.
