Irresponsible comments

G.S. Hossain, Rahmantgonj, Chittagong
The politics of our country has always been characterized by confrontations, conflicts and indiscriminate comments hurled on to opponents. The leaders hardly realise the impact of such behaviour on the people and how it impairs the image of the country. Recently, the leader of the opposition told that the prime minister prefers to remain as chief minister, rather than prime minister just for the sake of power. Such remarks on the part of the top leader of the main opposition party is absolutely shocking, senseless, and unacceptable. This will not only harm the relationship between Bangladesh and India, but it will also hurt the sentiments of common people. The party leader should understand that the prime minister is also the representative of the people of Bangladesh and this type of abusive comment means showing disrespect to people's verdict. Therefore, we hope that political leaders will think twice before saying anything in public.
