Lets stop accusing the political opportunist!

M A Hossain

On 16march 2018,Dhaka's leading English language newspaper The Daily Star,on its back page published a news item  titled "AL OR BNP"alongside two gigantic photograph of the electoral posters of a poor counsel chairman. Through this news item the newspaper wanted to show that with the change of time this man has shifted from Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) to Bangladesh Awami League (AL).Such tendencies are nothing new in this subcontinent,be it in India or Bangladesh. Political opportunist always are smarter and "blessed" people. For example, if the newspaper wanted to proof the poster as a document of Abul Kalam Azad opportunist mindset then hopefully they can remember the cabinet secretary of Khandakar Mustaque Ahamed,darling of the killers of Bangabandu Shiekh Mujibur Rahaman has been the political adviser to prime minister Sheikh Hasina(Bangabandu's daughter ) for many years.If abettor, appeaser could inserted himself to prime minister's inner circle which is definitely a very important position, why in the world a poor rural politician like Abul Kalam Azad would be criticised.
