Public statements
Our so-called leaders should realize that the blatant lies never turn into truth even if those are repeated over and over again. One should remember that we are not living in Germany of 1940s but in Bangladesh of 2010. Much water flowed down the river Danube and the Rhine as also the river Padma and Jamuna since then. Due to rapid technological development, the world has become literally a big village, if not a small one. Therefore, the deceit never goes unnoticed, whether it's done or uttered in a remote corner of Bangladesh or at the splashy Time Square of New York. One may also notice that given a fair national election, people of Bangladesh never gave a wrong judgment as indicated by our historical records.
Hence, I would request our leaders to start their public meetings by seeking forgiveness for their past misdeeds instead of mud-slinging. Our people are extra-ordinarily generous and they may even forgive if they are convinced that they would not be cheated any more.
