And it was because of the employment of that word “oust.” Again, Moudud Ahmed is sure the people of the country want a change of government. We will for now focus on that ugly term “oust” — a word which does not apply to democracy. In Bangladesh’s tortuous history — and Moudud Ahmed should know — “ouster” has been a sinister means of removing two elected governments from power. In simple parlance, Moudud Ahmed could have done a much better job if he had told people that his party looked forward to forming the next government after the election. But the word “oust” came trippingly on the tongue and he lost little time in hurling it at the government.
