Can't we do better?
Dumping leaders when they are alive and glorifying them after their death seem to be an affliction of all political parties. Are there not other urgent issues to worry about in Bangladesh? Can the new airports, bridges and structures not be named after one of them? When the Awami League is in power, all the projects and schemes are named only after the Bangabandhu family members. When the BNP is in power, all the projects and schemes are named only after the Zia family members.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
