Well the big news is that the country is going to expel Khaleda. The main reason is that no one can stand her coiffure anymore, and she is being asked to go to a country where her bouffant will need to be encased in a hijab or some such. She has been hesitating thus far because naturally she is reluctant to hide her incredible head of hair and moreover she fears haircare products may be difficult to come by in the desert state of Saudi Arabia. What broke the camel’s back, in terms of her decision making is not clear. Was it Coco’s brush with the agencies or was it the recent visit of a renowned dandruff expert to Saudi? Who knows…?
I wonder if Khaleda will go and pay her respects to Idi Amin? He died in exile in Saudi. Have any of you seen the recent film about Idi called the Last King of Scotland? It won a few gongs recently. Well whatever… lets hope Khaleda is the last queen of Bangladesh.
Here is a picture of her hairstyle at its glorious best a few years ago

Do you support this Pakistan style exile tactic?
Lt. Col Rumi
Firstly there is very little Pakistani that I support
Secondly, I rue the fact that there isn’t sufficient capacity to deal with heads of states and their nepotism.
Thirdly, I welcome the de facto admission of guilt that this high tailing to Saudi undoubtedly is. This escape is tantamount to emasculation. Or at least I hope it is. And I hope that all those who are against the trend of politics Khaleda represented will flag it up.
Fourthly, I worry about the base that might be provided to these corrupt people in exile. I just hope an organic leadership develops within Bangladesh who will have no truck with the kind of politics these corrupts represent.
And so my response to you, General Rumi, is that this solution is as frustrating as it is welcome. It is only a partial excision of the tumour. Chemotherapy will still be needed. And there is always the fear of relapse.
It’s like these tough men went to Pakistan, took their script, made a photcopy and brought it home.
Wait a minute, they did go to Pakistan! (Maj. Gen, Mashud in his recent “private” visit to Pakistan)
Good riddance, she can take her boyfriends like Goo Azam with her, considering he’s somewhat familiar with Arabia and its culture.
Thank you for he clarification Sir.
I have two more question.
1. How are you so sure that leaving the country is a de facto admission of guilt?
2. For the future, we will work for a democracy for nation minus two. That is, in our brand of democratic society, all, except these two persons, will be able to be home and do whatever legal they want to do i.e. politics, logistics, or whatever other tricks. And there is no need to take the opinion of a court of law on this matter.
Yours Faithfully

1. This is the task of politics. You do not commit political hara kiri unless you have good reason to.
2. It is untidy. It is not procedure. It is not in the constitution. It is a mess. However sometimes the “subjective” in history is resoundingly important. For example the removal of Mujib. Such events have reverberations. Immediate ones and ones many years down the road. So as i said - messy.
