The central governing body of Bangladesh Holy League, a student body that is now vying for a place in the political scene of the country, has announced its latest wing which aims to cater to the left-leaning voters in the country. This move comes as the formerly dormant party now aims to capture as many seats in the next national election. The Holy League, often referred to as BHL, was mainly inactive during the 15-year reign of the fascist former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
Following her ouster, the party emerged from the shadows, in almost a Scooby Doo villain reveal fashion, to announce that they were all hiding within factions of the former government. At the launching event of the new wing, BHL Chief Baeyman Zawahiri addressed the nation, demanding that his party be the choice of the nation going forward. "We represent the thoughts, feelings and experiences of the majority of Bangladesh.
Our policies, philosophies and ideals are all BLESSED. You must understand this," he yelled at the crowd. "I know, there have been many questions from the general public about our ideals.
Some have called us extreme, while others have labelled us as misogynists. Let me confirm to all of you here, while we are shocked by accusations of the former, we are definitely proud to have earned the reputation of the latter," he shouted again, to an ovation from the crowd. Following the event, Satireday sent this correspondent for a one-on-one question and answer session (Q&A) with BHL Chief Baye.
