Mr Shafiq
If you insist on decorum you would have objected directly to Mr Chowdhury's choice of words rather than express feign regret and rephrase the same sentiment more politely. A bit like expressing regret when an AL thug cracks open a lady's skull - if other people should complain about it.
Robin should be distressed at seeing someone he knows take a beating. Your tone suggests this is quaint. But then it is better for him to be personally informed about a lady than to be informed mainly by a lady's father - like most AL Nethrists. Or am I assuming too much? Am I assuming more than you have assumed?
You assume the police are not politically motivated. You assume that nowadays anyone making a protest should first to prepare for a baton charge. You assume that Rahnuma burnt that bus. You assume that the police were not heavy handed.
The left may be wrong about opposing companies just because they are American. But then again maye be the terms agreed with the Americans are unfair. It is possible that the Amercians want more than their fair share. It is probabale that our Bongu leaders don't know how to negotiate in the nation's interest.
The left aren't identified with vandalising cars or burning buses or killing people or terrorising localities or commit extortion for power or money. You know who normally does that kind of thing?
Its easy for closet AL intellectuals (not you of course! I am referring to others) to say Anu and Rahnuma don't understand. But what of Hasina, Zillur et all who rule us. Are you saying that they understand? Or does poor Bangladesh have no choice, as with oil exploration technology, but to make do with them too? Or do we forgive them because they are not highly educated like Rahnuma and Anu?
Nice of you to inform the left leaning parties. Any chance of you informing the AL of anything sometime soon?
Rahnuma and Anu are not the problem. They may be wrong but they have caused the country no grief. The cause of the nation is served far worse by Hasina and Khaleda.
The essence of Mr Chowdhury's statement is that Rahnuma and Anu are in a relationship and so cannot be trusted. Because not under any circumstances could Mr Chowdhury even imagine disagreeing with his Nethri on anything - let alone deep sea exploration. Even if his Nethri was wrong.
Now what would be a suitable response to the essence of Mr Chowdhury rudely put point? Certainly Robin's civilised reply would not penetrate the thick skin of a crass Nethrist.
