Bangalee Ma?

I read a news analysis titled "Not just a PM" in TDS dated March 4, 2015. I, however, differ a little when the writer very emotionally epitomises the present PM as a "Bangalee Ma". Our PMs (both the current one and the former), unlike in other civilised countries, are very selective in paying visit to victims of violence. I have yet to see either one of them showing their love and concern when the victim belongs to the other party. A PM once elected is the PM of all the people of the country. 'Bangalee Ma' or any other 'ma' loves all her children - beautiful or ugly, obedient or unruly. When she discriminates, she is anything but a ma. Probably politics and motherhood do not mix - at least not in Bangladesh.
