Treacherous people

I have had the rare opportunity to have a treasury bench member as my tenant for more than a decade. Upon coming back home from the oath taking ceremony at the national parliament, during the first tenure of AL, I happened to meet him. He said to me, "We are going to fix the country now." I simply replied, “You cannot.” He got annoyed and asked me why I was saying that. I said, “Pardon me, I am neither a politician nor an intellectual, with my little learning and wisdom, I find the people treacherous.” Hearing this, he got even more annoyed. I said, “Please allow me to explain.”
I began to explain to him the following things: Let us begin from 1757. Who was Mir Zafar? He was a Bangalee and he betrayed the Nawab at the battle of Plassey paving the way for British rule in India for nearly two hundred years. Then let us come to 1947, Pakistan was the brainchild of a great Bangalee Sher -e- Bangla AK Fazlul Haque. Late Jinnah, capitalising on the idea put forth by the great leader, became the founding father of the nation. In 1971, Bangladesh emerged as an independent country under the leadership of late Bangabandhu. Then in 1975, Bangabandhu was assassinated Bangalees. Late General Ziaur Rahman took charge and subsequently became the president of the country. He too, was assassinated in 1981. Then late Justice Sattar became the president and was subsequently taken over by General Ershad.
Then I asked the Honourable MP to tell me how he was going to fix the country. Hearing all these, he became dumbstruck and quietly left the place.
