BNP is just a name bhai. This party is a continuation of Muslim league and
this Muslim league was born in Dhaka long before Awami League.
So if BNP take part in this election even without zia family, they will remain unharmed.
If they again boycott election the it will be end of the politics of zia family.
IMHO,
Muslim league heritage of Bangladesh will never die as it's stronger than awami pseudo-secular idea.
Just they may change name , or may break and form another BNP , as in Pakistan
Muslim league of Nawaz is the main party.
So BNP also can make such team and can be elevated.
The reality is, this two families have less chance of surviving after this two Begum.
Although Tareq is vice chairperson of BNP but he hasn't come, he is a refuge and don't think he will be able to come back.
And joy isn't active in politics , so who is the next after hasina?
No other members of Mujib family is active either. (I don't count fazlul karim as a family member of Mujib).
So finally after hasina BAL has to choose different leader.
Problem is with BNP, either they will take the decision to take part in election (with or without zia family) , or they will be finished and will form a new power ( surely based on anti BAL ground) , so IMO inshallah Bangladesh politics will move to the right direction .
