Hon. Mujibur Rahuman criticizes the current government party for inconsistency, contrasting their past opposition to militarization with their current proposal to deploy the army in agricultural activities such as selling chillies. He accuses the party of historically damaging the country through what he characterizes as contradictory and divisive politics, citing shifting positions on relations with India as an example. He suggests, with apparent irony, that the public should be relieved the party is now in government, as their conduct in power reveals them to be no different from previous administrations.
Okay, Sir.
Today they say the Army should be trained to sell ‘kochchi’ chillies. Back then, when they were in the Opposition, they said not to militarize. What is this? We are happy they are changing. Because no political movement has harmed this country as much as theirs. They have always harmed the country—made bogeymen of India, of various countries, of investors. They go to India and come back saying Modi is good but Gandhi was not; when Gandhi came, he was not good; now Modi is good. The people have freed themselves from this double-tongued politics. We should be happy that they got a government, because now we understand this is not the same lot as before. Now we see bellies coming out, hair dyed in different shades—like beetles now; not like before.
