Our lovely country
Recently, I watched a BBC programme called 'Tropic of Cancer'. As a part of this programme Mr Simon Reeve embarks on an epic journey around the world following the Tropic of Cancer and uncovers environmental, political and human stories from some of the most remote places on the planet. In Bangladesh, Simon sails down the mighty Padma and visits fishermen who use trained otters to drive fish into their nets. Further on, he sees the riverbanks crumbling before his eyes. Increased river erosion is thought to be caused by global climate change. And in the capital Dhaka he meets some of the millions of child workers.
I was really shocked to see the worst situation of our independent lovely country. It makes me frustrated when I see daily TV news--- as usual all the politicians are fighting with each other. They always talk all sorts of rubbish of each other, rather than having some productive discussion. The documentary showed that millions of people cannot sleep properly for fear of river banks crumbling and every day more poor people are becoming homeless . This documentary also revealed that millions of children are doing very hard jobs to survive. But our so-called politicians are busy fighting each other and trying to get power somehow.
Dear politicians, please stop fighting and look around your environment and do some work together to stop river erosion and minimise general people's sufferings. One day our whole country will disappear, including your powerful chair, which one you are fighting for?!
