June 5, 2008

Khandaker Delwar Hossain said today that five to seven general elections are needed to have change in party politics in Bangladesh. In my opinion, either he is mad or he thinks the people of Bangladesh are utter fools. I don’t know which one is true but we should be aware of this kind of politicians [...]
