Future leaders
Pakistani President Mr. Asif Ali Zardari has vowed to fight legal battle in the court against a recent Supreme Court ruling. We highly appreciate his spirit and believe that it will be a good end for public view.
In Bangladesh the supporters of the two main political parties have engaged themselves in a battle, not court battle, of exchange of words against each other's upcoming leaders through all media outlets available there. Sometimes, we can even see some top ranking senior leaders of both the parties engaged in the on-going battle. By doing this at such a high level, both these parties are, in fact, popularising their future young heirs of their party founders for public view as “clean, dynamic and popular” leaders for the nation whom they want to leave behind for us after their retirement. This battle has left only one option open for the people to view and judge-- the media, especially talk shows, public addresses etc.
I am sure, both of them are gaining ground in the battle of words but the people are not. Out of the two sure heirs, one has already proved his popularity through a Bhaban while the other one has not yet ventured in public. However, he is being trained and motivated to venture as early as possible. We positively know our future leaders but we do not know much about their characters.
The one who has already proved some of his character-qualities is now living abroad on bail. He is reportedly a hero of many wrong doings and is accused of many unproved charges. We are surprised while we hear some ministers talking about his wrong doings but the government itself is not pursuing cases against him. This is confusing people. We the general people who do not want to listen to each other's controversial exchanges, want our government to either desist from propaganda or to proceed with the cases, if there is any against him.
We also request the media people, irrespective of their tilts, not to publish unnecessary, unfounded or imaginary stories against anyone.
