Bangladesh Nationalist Forces Have Lost
Let me correct you - nationalist force HAS NOT lost but opportunist politicians and businessman who were doing opportunist politics within BNP (which you can relate to) has lost. REAL nationalist are in street and will continue the movement.
For these opportunist class new game is to concoct story of "defeat" - so people give up hope and these opportunist can do business as usual under indo Awami rule. It is not hard to see through such plan and already been rejected.
As I and many have said this is a long drawn battle and goes far deeper than just election issue, we are walking along that road now. Bangladeshis have far better and clear understanding now that they have to get independence from indian hegemony and get rid of indian awami imposition and also the opportunist class.
I have called "Bangladesh army" a mercenary force long time ago and unfortunately they proved me correct again. By guarding an indian backed farcical election, "Bangladesh army" has destroyed its credibility as national institution. As an
Awami League protection force, survival of "Bangladesh army" in current form will be in question and a reformation is an absolute necessity.
Other than Dhaka police, RAB and even BGB lost their effectiveness as Awami League protection force. Urban elites and opportunist class who are out of touch from grass root don't realize that and they only speak out about what they can see through their still intact glass window..
No matter how long it takes, no force did survive and will not survive against the will of people.
