A hearty and warm reception indeed. She went to London on a person trip. Once there her chamchas will bestow her a warm reception. I thought PM Cameron was coming to the airport to receive her. She will be accorded a very warm reception by her lackeys of UK Awami League. WHat a mockery? What a waste of Bangladesh tax payers money.
