They don’t understand meaning of the democracy.
In the true sense AL does not have any shame. They are the shameless creature in the world like the Israel. They don’t understand the real meaning of the democracy. They have their own self made democracy. The people have not voted for AL neither in 29 December nor in 22 January, it just an artificial creation. Today or tomorrow this evil force will be evicted but the question is when and how? By this time many people will die? Soon they are going to sign a pact with their dada bhai who is likely to come on 8 February 2009. Let's wait for the day. Never believe with the sweet words of AL. They are just like a snake even a snake is better than AL. Vote Riggers blind supporters & street boys.
The chief election commissioner has said he is unhappy 'attempts by ministers and MPs' to influence the third Upazila Parishad election on Thursday. There were also influences of political parties in the balloting to elect local government representatives to 481 Upazila across the country, ATM Shamsul Huda said to reporters at his office. He said the ruling party had always influenced in the election. "We wanted to hold the election during the tenure of the caretaker government.But that was not possible."
