Hartal and we
It is the duty of a democratic govt. to meet the basic needs of citizens of the country. On the other hand, the role played by the opposition party is that of a shadow govt that criticises the activities of the govt to keep it on the right track. But the recent decision of hartal taken in the BNP rally at Paltan Maidan is not a permanent solution to different problems faced by the people of Bangladesh. In a least developed country like Bangladesh, the ruling party and the opposition should play effective roles. The success and failures of the govt should be openly discussed in presence of the ruling party and the opposition. The govt should also take suggestions from the opposition for handling the national issues.
According to statistics, about 40 percent people are now living below poverty line as they live from hand to mouth. I call upon the leaders of both the parties to solve the problems sitting in parliament, as it is the best place for resolving these issues.
