Divided nation
In 2010 the nation is divided into two political groups. The practice of democracy is being thwarted by the crude power politics. The mass people have become puppets at the hands of two political parties. It is evident that the top leaders of our two prime political parties always fail to reach a consensus on our major national issues such as health care, education, sovereignty, foreign policy etc. The most worrying fact is that the country's sovereignty is being undermined by some inconsiderate alliances with the external powers. In our country the total policy changes with the change of government. Consequently, poverty and unemployment persist. Due to the conflicts between the two parties, the major issues always remain unresolved.
The people get stunned hearing that the major political parties are in serious disagreement regarding the declaration of independence. The ruling party AL should come forward to write the real history of Bangladesh. If needed a law should be enacted so that no political party can dare to change the history of a nation. Sometimes television and newspaper reports give us the information that many a freedom fighter are living below poverty line and they are leading a miserable life, which is sad. We also get frustrated when we see the freedom fighters begging for alms and nobody cares about them. The government should rehabilitate the freedom fighters and give them due honour because they fought to fulfil our desires and dreams endangering their lives.
The AL came to power and they made numerous promises including the trial of war criminals for which the people of Bangladesh are waiting with much patience.
