| [DHAKATRIBUNE] One of the biggest red marks against the previous government were its increasingly heavy-handed tactics against the population during any moment of crisis -- frequent stop and checks by the police in which they would be given the order to go through a civilian's transportation and often times even their personal belongings and the data on their phones, were a frequent occurrence especially in the capital. It is with the highest level of disappointment, and alarm, that we now feel compelled to condemn our youth -- the very same people who fought against the undemocratic practices of ...Bangla dynastic politician and now exiled former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia showed such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums. That is probably because Khaleda's late husband was the Pak tool who had Mujib assassinated... 's government -- for resorting to the same actions against civilians. In the past few days, student activists have been observed in the streets of Dhaka stopping cars on the road and harassing civilians to check their phones and belongings without any legal precedence whatsoever. The practice was the most prevalent on the August 15, the death anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The day was also marred by student activists engaging in While the anger against the previous establishment is more than justified, there is absolutely no necessity for any of the student activists to still be on the streets, more so when they are resorting to the similar unruly behaviour exhibited by groups such as Chhatro League and Chhatro Dal. Bangladesh now has an interim government in place until the next elections -- a government which has two representatives from the student movement in key advisory roles and has shown an immense willingness to listen to the people -- the student activists who are still on the streets need to understand that and shy away from further plunging Bangladesh into another age of undemocratic practices. |

| #3 Bangladesh is a Pakistan..., only worse. It's a wonder why Biden hasn't sent planes there to load illegals. Or, maybe he has? |
