Re: Bangladesh News and Discussion

The interview has caused quite a stir in the BD intellectual circles. I find (from my own sources) that general perception among the intellectual circles is turning in favor of AL / Hasina. They are tired of the utter chaos, and now think that Hasina’s iron fist was much better.
