Criticism
We were hoping, expecting and looking forward to a change after the Awami League government came to power with the promise of 'Din Badal' --the 'Charter of Change' and Digital Bangladesh, winning a landslide victory in the general elections in 2008.
But over one and a half years have passed and there is no change anywhere in our socio-economic life or law and order situation in the country.
It is a common phenomenon that our opposition leaders always criticise the government and vice versa, and the people continue to suffer unabated.
We have seen many changes in our country, in our government, but found no change in habits, manners, conducts, character and performance of our leaders.
If criticism and promises have been the panacea for all ills, then all the sufferings, woes and problems of the people would have been resolved.
Our political leaders, both of the government and opposition, and our government servants may kindly prove their importance, worthiness, sympathy and love for the people through their work, performance and not through criticism.
We all must neutralise the culture and habit of criticising others and holding out promises only.
