Is it not too much?

I was watching on BTV the first Bangladesh- Zimbabwe ODI match on August 09. To my amazement, BTV stopped the match at 7:45pm or 15 minutes before the 8:00 pm news. It started showing instead, a regular programme called 'Firey Dekha' (Looking Back). It was a programme on Bangabandhu. But, it did not make Bangabandhu any greater. It only belittled him.
We, who love Awami League, should realise that what Bangabandhu did was only for the sake of the nation. Such a foolish action on the of BTV cannot glorify Bangabandhu. It only creates a negative impact on public thinking. Therefore, the BTV should stop its business of 'oiling' the ruling party of the day. It is like a snake with two mouths. It broadcasts Zia's activities when BNP is in power and Mujib's activities during the tenure of AL.
The AL should also leave Bangabandhu alone. He is in the mind of the people who really love him. The attitude of BTV does not go with the motto of 'change' pledged by AL to win the election. It is time for us to change our behaviour.
