This lady should answer how she abducted the opposition politicians and they disappeared from the earth. She is complicit with the murders of the news reporters who dared to write otherwise. She has anchored her faith with Delhi and does not realize, any day, it may be her turn. She has destroyed democracy by decimating the opposition as much as Sheikh Mujib did the same. This dynasty want to rule as dictators without any opposition as they hate anyone opposed to their whims.
