Reaz Ahmad's front page report on July 3 makes us feel that Khaleda Zia is now in a challenge. If she does not file a defamation suit against the paper in USA, then The Washington Times is right. The people of Bangladesh are waiting for her move. We should hear from her about this step, the sooner the better. Otherwise, the trust on her will fade.

No doubt, Awami League will capitalise on this sensitive matter and try to create confusion and mistrust in the voters' mind about her. Not only that, chance of getting any support from the Jatiya Party will also go down the drain. The BNP high command should be aware of the potential negative consequences of the write-up in The Washington Times.
