Okay, so this is basically what everything wrong with Indian stablishment left or right when it comes to BD politics. Deliberate fear mongering and misrepresentation.
Let's get some facts straight.
*Jamat has never been the dominant partner in the government. They were always the junior partner.
*He is claiming now Jamat and other Islamic parties will play the dominant role in the new government and is much more powerful than BNP. That such a massive bullshit. You just have to wait till the election and everyone will find out. BNP will get a sweeping victory.
Sadly, this on-line media channel is representative of a formerly very well-respected journalist of independent views, who, about a year ago, very possibly under pressure of some sort familiar to all observers of the Indian establishment's bullying of media, started toeing the line.
Not having read the article, my surmise is that he is/ they are dutifully toeing the 'party' line, both metaphorically and literally.
Regarding your own comment - the BNP winning a sweeping victory is not necessarily a good thing.
There had been hopes, belied and betrayed, that the BAL would display its political heritage and take a secular, democratic line. Those hopes, both ending in 1975, and in 2024, were betrayed, by those in whom so much trust and faith had been reposed.
The BNP, however, lacked in the past even a remote connection to any kind of democratic policy or programmes. There may have been a miracle, and doubters (like me) may get vastly surprised. I will be happy to be proved wrong, and to have the BNP give Bangladesh a liberal, secular and wholly accountable democratic administration. I am resigned to remaining unhappy.
