And Ganabhaban was the center of illicit sex. They used to connect each other with giving flower wreath (necklace) to a stone, which in my religion is called Shirk.

- What happened in the country today, it was supposed to happen. Mass uprisings can never be prevented. The student quota reform movement could have been easily resolved. But because of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's insistence, so many people died. The figure of loss of life that has appeared in the media, in reality this number is much more. How many more bodies are lying, how many mass graves, how many innocent people have lost their lives! She left. Who will answer now? People could not vote for 15 years. Votes have been stolen day after day. Long pent-up anger came to the fore. Sheikh Hasina should have understood how unpopular she and her party are. This is so much loss of life, who will answer? There is a serious lack of good governance in the country. He could not give good governance. Thousands of bullets were fired at students during the quota reform movement. Shots were fired from a helicopter. Earlier we all called HM Ershad a dictator. He was called a dictator because only six people died then. But how many people have lost their lives in the last 15 years. In 2009, 57 army officers died in the then BDR rebellion in Pilkhana. Who will answer now? Who is called the father of the nation, why will his family members be so tragic? We had to see his fate. All this happened because of his pride and arrogance. I said to the Prime Minister, ensure good governance in the country. I have said in various meetings and seminars. What is happening is dictatorship. Because of saying these things we were called agents of different parties. How can you blame the people for the fact that public buildings are being looted and vandalized? Hasina's government has not learned from Sri Lanka. She did not learn from Tunisia. The government has not learned from how Hosne Mubarak flew into a frenzy in Egypt. Such is the consequence if there is no government of the people. Sheikh Hasina left 100 times worse than Ershad. Ershad did not run away. She ran away. She escaped, but destroyed the Awami League party. Her violence, arrogance, pride destroyed the party (Awami League).

And since the introduction, Mrinal Kanti Das started living in Bangabandhu Bhavan at number thirty-two. Sheikh Hasina used to live in that house. Mrinal Kanti Das and Sheikh Hasina used to lock the door from inside the library room of the Bangabandhu Bhavan till late at night and used to chatter and laugh. Mrinal's acceptance towards Sheikh Hasina increased so much that it became the envy of all. Mrinal became Sheikh Hasina's closest person! His power increased so much that in 1990, Awami League Central Committee General Secretary Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury was thrown out of Bangabandhu Bhavan by humiliating him. One day four people including Mrinal are playing cards in Bangabandhu Bhavan. It was three-thirty. At that time, Sheikh Hasina's only uncle, Akram Mamu, came and said, "Don't go to this Mrinal, he is sitting without eating for you!" Mrinal to show off his power in front of his friends replied “Hey, let me stay without eating for a while!” One day Mrinal got angry with Sheikh Hasina and left. Sheikh Hasina herself went and brought Mrinal Kanti Das to Bangabandhu Bhavan to break the anger. After Sheikh Hasina lost the election in 1991, Mrinal left Sheikh Hasina due to various grievances. Sheikh Hasina herself went three times to bring back Mrinal but he did not return. Instead, he started promoting his physical relationship with Sheikh Hasina. Mrinal kept smiling and saying, his relationship with Sheikh Hasina is very deep!

The layout design of this ten taka note had the image of house of Allah, Mosque on the top and the image of Sheikh Hasina's father Sheikh Mujib on the back. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina saw the draft in the layout design and said to the finance minister's PS Dr. Parvez angrily, What is it! Why is the picture of the father of the nation in behind? Finance Minister's PS Dr. Parvez was a bit unprepared and said that there is a picture of the mosque on the current ten taka notes in the market. Keeping in view the religious sentiments, the picture of the mosque above is fixed, and the picture of the Father of the Nation is given at the back. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said in an angry voice, "I don't understand those mosques and mosques, they will print new ten taka notes with the picture of the father of the nation and release them in the market." My father is the father of the nation, that must be swallowed by this devil race. Then another day when Dr. Pervez brought the layout design with Sheikh Mujib's picture on the top and the mosque's picture on the back, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina saw it and was happy and gave her verbal approval. It is the new ten taka note with Sheikh Mujib's picture in the market today.

- Remove the mosque: From the beginning of 1986, Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina renewed her push for the student movement. When the agitation did not budge despite many pressures, threats and urgings, he angrily left for Tungipara, his native land and his father's house, in mid-May and stayed in Tungipara for some time. In the meantime, one day when 20/30 Imams of Tungipara village including some Imams of Sheikh house (Sheikh Hasina's own house) came and proposed to cut down the coconut tree saying that the mosque built in the place of another partner of Sheikh house is being damaged by a coconut tree belonging to Sheikh Hasina, Sheikh Hasina directly said that my coconut tree will not be cut. If necessary, remove the mosque. Then all the teachers repeatedly pleaded to cut down the coconut tree located at Sheikh Hasina's place, which is near the walls and site of the mosque, as it is forbidden to move the mosque in the Holy Quran. Then Sheikh Hasina said, close this mosque. I will build a bigger mosque. The Imams say that if there is a little wind, the coconut tree grows on the roof of the mosque. If this continues, the roof and walls of the mosque will soon collapse. Sheikh Hasina said, let it be broken, I don't care. Even if you cry for millions of years, I will not cut the coconut tree.

- Movement movement game: By keeping Bangabandhu's daughter, leader Sheikh Hasina, with dictatorial General Ershad, thinking that Begum Khaleda Zia's single movement would not bring the desired results, Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina replied, "I (Sheikh Hasina) am behind madam (Khaleda Zia). The program that madam (Khaleda Zia) will give, I (Sheikh Hasina) will also give that program." It seems that I (Sheikh Hasina) is also in the movement. When asked about the strong role of the Awami League workers, she said that they should not play with the movement. That is, Madam (Khaleda Zia) should be made to sit at home, so that the people and the Awami League workers are so eager for the movement That despite the clear instructions of Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina regarding the movement, they (Awami League workers) continued to play a strong role in the movement. When the secret order of people's leader Sheikh Hasina not to agitate was reached to the workers of Awami League, then the workers of Awami League wanted to hear this order directly from the mouth of the president Sheikh Hasina. But it was not possible for Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina to give this order directly. As a result, Begum Khaleda Zia continued to lead the movement and Awami League workers including Nur Hossain continued to give their lives.

- Traitorous barbarian forces: On a fall afternoon on May 3, 1984, a few people, including Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina, are sitting and talking at the Bangabandhu Bhavan in Dhanmondi. Story after story, the liberation war of 1971 and the Pakistani army came up. The topic came up about the Bangladesh Army formed during the liberation war of 1971. People's leader Sheikh Hasina said about the Bangladesh army, is it an army? It is a barbaric, cannibalistic, disorderly, greedy, insolent force. This force has no loyalty, no discipline, no humanity, no respect, no patriotism. It is an army of treasonous barbaric hyenas. You talk about Pakistan Army. No army in the whole world can be found as polite, humble, civilized, humble and loyal as Pakistan Army. The sense of humanity of Pakistan Army is unmatched. They are incredibly civilized and humble! On the night of March 25th they (Pakistan Army) came, came and saluted father (Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib), saluted mother, saluted me too. They saluted and said, Sir, we have come only to give you security. Not for anything else. You can go whenever you want, wherever you want. Anyone can visit you. We will only ensure your safety. If you go out, we will accompany you for your safety. If someone comes here, we will search him thoroughly and then let him in. All this will be done for your safety. Really what Pakistan Army has done is completely for our security. When Abba (Sheikh Mujib) was taken away by the Pakistani Army on March 26th afternoon, General Tikka Khan himself came and saluted Abba and mother, stood with Adab and politely said (to Sheikh Mujib), Sir, President Yahya Khan has asked you to take him for discussion. I'm here to take you. Special flight ready to take you (special flight ready) You get ready and you can take anyone including madam (Begum Mujib) if you want. He went alone after discussing with his parents. As long as the Pakistan Army has been on duty, the first salute has been given. Not only that, when my grandmother had a slight fever, the Pakistanis brought her from Tungipara to Dhaka by helicopter and treated her at PG Hospital. Jai (Sheikh Hasina's son) was then pregnant, taking me to CMH (Combined Military Hospital) for checkups every week. A month before winning I was admitted to CMH. After the birth of 'Jai in 71' the Pakistan Army happily distributed sweets and the Pakistanis bore all the expenses of the victory. We could go wherever we wanted. The Pakistanis used to accompany us in two jeeps. Guarded for safety. And the army of Bangladesh! Band of beasts, band of inhumans, these inhuman beasts have killed my parents, brothers - may they be destroyed.

- Hindus are my strength-trust: On the day Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina announced the nomination of Awami League, on that day she herself announced to contest the election from a total of 4 seats. 1 from Gopalganj, 2 from Bagerhat and 1 from Demra in Dhaka. When Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina withdrew her candidacy from the Demra seat in Dhaka the day after Sheikh Hasina announced that she would contest the election from these 4 seats, some leaders led by Dhaka Mayor Mohammad Hanif requested the public leader Sheikh Hasina and said, "You stood from 3 seats in Gopalganj and Bagerhat (on the other side of the Tungipara Madhumati river) but you did not stand in the election from a single seat in Dhaka." You can stand up from 5 seats. Khaleda Zia stood from 5 seats; You also stand up from 5 seats. You are our leader, you stand for election from at least two seats in Dhaka. In response, Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina said, there are 70% (seventy percent) Hindus in Gopalganj and Bagerhat; How many percent of Hindus in Dhaka? Muslims don't vote for me except Hindus. Muslims are dishonest and ungrateful. Hindus are faithful and grateful. I can trust and believe in Hindus. But Muslims cannot be trusted. Can't be trusted. This is why I am standing in 3 (three) constituencies from Gopalganj and Bagerhat, seventy percent Hindu regions. But did not stand even 1 (one) seat from Dhaka. I stood from Demra after searching and saw that there are not many Hindus in Demra, so I withdrew. Dhaka Mayor Hanif said, this is your wrong idea. How did your other candidates win if Muslims did not vote? Bangabandhu's daughter said, basically, the Hindu bank gets the entire vote, the rest of the relatives come out somehow by singing their own folk songs. Without Hindus, I, my party could not have won even 1 (one) seat. So that the Hindus can vote safely and undisturbed, I have achieved the caretaker government through so many agitations and struggles. Hindus are my ball. Hindus are my hope. Election campaigning is going on fast. The whole country is covered with posters, playing-card festoons, banners and graffiti. Nowhere is there so much empty space. Meetings and processions are going on every night.

- Boat: Durga Devi's carrier: Various political parties nominated candidates to contest the elections on 12 June 1996. Awami League also nominated. As almost sixty-five percent of the total voters in three constituencies in Gopalganj and two constituencies in Bagerhat are Hindus, naturally there is no possibility of any other marker candidate winning the election in these five constituencies except Awami League's boat mark candidate, and has never won and will never win. (1) Moksedpur and Kashiani, (2) Gopalganj and Kashiani (3) Tungipara and Kotalipara (4) Mollar Hat and Fakir Hat (5) Boitaghata and Dakop in these 5 (five) constituencies as long as sixty-five percent Hindu community remains, the Awami League candidate will continue to win exclusively in boat marks. Candidates for these five constituencies do not have to do any work in the area. In any case, if Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina takes Awami League's boat mark ticket, she will win 75% of the votes. These 5 asanas are called alms seats. Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina please begs the seat of this region, she is the people's representative or member of national parliament of this region i.e. MP. When asked why he voted for Awami League, an old Hindu man whose education is almost unknown in this region said, "We don't understand Awami League." I don't even vote for Awami League. We vote by boat. That is, I vote for the boat brand. When asked why he voted for the boat, he said, "I will not vote for the boat?" The boat is the vehicle of the goddess. Mother Durga Devi came down from heaven in this vehicle (boat) to subdue the Asuras (sinners). And if we don't vote for Maa Durga's vehicle boat, then the Goddess vehicle will be dishonored. Maa Durga will curse. Don't you see, during the voting time we all go and vote for the boat brand called Maa Durga, Maa Durga to please Maa Durga Devi. Not a single one is left out. Mother Durga will be displeased if everyone does not go and vote for the boat brand. We will have bad luck. So no matter how much work there is, no matter how much trouble there is, one can only go to the polling station. We will all go and vote for the boat brand.

- Glycerin in handkerchief: The next morning, before going to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue to see the bodies of the seven people killed in Lalbagh, Bangabandhu's daughter Hasina kept saying, put a little glycerine on my (Sheikh Hasina) handkerchief. Put that kind of glycerine on my handkerchief, so that tears come to my eyes when I see the corpse and hold the handkerchief. One said, no need for glycerine, just hold a handkerchief over your eyes and it will look like you are crying. And we will tell the photojournalist (photojournalist) brothers to put the caption you are crying under the picture.
