This is not simply a confrontation between the two parties. This is a confrontation between the ruling party with all the state forces with them and the opposition. The responsibility of the ruling party is 100 times more than the opposition. However, a neutral caretaker government is a very logical demand of the opposition; and the ruling party's not accepting it proves there is something fishy.

Both BNP and AL are equally responsible for what's going on in the country today. Just because you are not in power does not automatically make you a little less responsible for your actions.

Good analysis.

A zero-sum game indeed! Staying in power and getting into power has become a bloody sport in every five years.

“Law against errant MPs” (December 28, 2013)

Nds
Why could not AL manage time to enact the proposed law to make the errant MPs accountable during their tenure of long five years? How could they promise to do it next time with the existing errant MPs who they have nominated for the next parliament? AL is gradually preparing itself to outshine all in respect of chicanery and fraud and abusing shamelessly the spirit of Liberation War as their tool to hoodwink the people.

Not even cows or goats believe in politicians' promises in this country.

Surely they can fulfil their promises without provision of adequate resources as their lawmakers and ministers have become very wealthy, apparently without enough or adequate investments.

Who trusts Awami League?

If the corrupt ministers and MPs are not barred from participating in the next election, how can we trust the AL to take action in the future?
