Khaleda unwilling to cut Jamaat ties

This refers to the news item “Snapping Jamaat Ties: Khaleda still unwilling” published on 14.6.2015 in TDS. In spite of her total lack of qualification, incredible dullness and deficiencies, she can instinctively and intuitively smell rats in the twisted logic of parting with Jamaat at a time so deceptive. Everything is defined by the will of a single person and law enforcers' ability to crush even a semblance of protest. Khaleda's intuition is like that of a boatman -- reading the whole weather pattern just by taking a look at a patch of cloud!

How many in our country can comprehend that the PM used the caretaker government twice: once to gain power and once to stay eternally in power? Elaboration is unnecessary. How many understand that the PM, after finishing the first phase of grabbing power by hook or by crook, cunning and craft has now inaugurated her second phase of perpetuating it in the same manner? 

Our intellectuals are apt at pedantic analysis of the effect and not the cause of event, including the British High Commissioner who expressed shock at the absence of investigation into the tainted mayoral polls. The PM even compared her January 5 win with that of Modi's landslide! In a wholesale moral famine is there any guarantee the ruling party will not try to woo Jamaat? Past records do not say so. I wish the government would ban Jamaat-Shibir's politics right away.
