@Old School bhai ,even this Eilias Hussein ( one of the most anti Hasina guy, who called BCL members as goat theives lol) is indirectly supporting your claim ( from other thread)! @Bilal9 bhai, I think as a Bangladeshi perhaps you would like to watch this informative video too!

So if they aren't our enemy , then why still such drama for Hasina govt? That clearly means something is hidden! Wondering when many of our Bangladeshi brothers ( BNP) will understand it!





Ps - sorry Bengali only video!
