Intransigent Khaleda
As expected, Khaleda, true to her intransigent nature, did not accept the results and came out with various unfounded allegations of voting irregularities, despite the nation's and the world's total acceptance of the election being free and fair. Minor irregularities and mismanagements compared to the magnitude of the total operation will hardly make any impact on the overwhelming verdict. Though her non-acceptance of the election result did not matter, had she accepted the result gracefully, her image before the nation and the world would have been brightened. An honest soul searching perhaps would help her and the party to identify their misdeeds and mistakes and help reorganize for future. But she preferred to defy the verdict of the nation. Perhaps she had sensed her inevitable debacle earlier. That is why throughout her election campaign, instead of offering countrymen better governance, she remained busy in delivering negative speeches which had no value to the general public. Therefore the public overwhelmingly exercised their franchise right and clearly spoke against her and her party through ballot. The misdeeds and lust for money of her sons and close aides allegedly under her direct protection and patronage knew no bounds. Crores of taka was allegedly siphoned out of the country through money laundering, by none other than her son, apparently with full knowledge of the administration as evident from the disclosure of the foreign governments which ultimately confiscated those illegally earned and transferred money.
It is strange that despite all those misdeeds Khaleda did not apologise to the nation which otherwise would have salvaged at least a part of her lost credibility before the nation and the world.
