  • This Zafrul really has a strong cable I think. How he gets to be a minister again after losing the elections shows that some power is behind him. Could be a royalty? who knows

  • He waited in vain to be PM and now he is the PM and just form his cabinet. So he can stop accusing and saying what should be done & how it should be done, do translate your words in action for the betterment of this nation DSAI else you are just another good story teller with lots of hot air, nothing more nothing less so I shall see how your gomen works out in due course after all you are still on cloud nine for your honeymoon period.
