How do we express shame?
Currently, I along with my only son have been visiting Bangladesh. We have no words to express our sense of shame at what happened in the country during the last two weeks. That politicians can stoop so low as to indulge in a free and uninhibited use of obscene language and extremely objectionable gestures is something no one in any country can imagine. The nation expects a lot from them. Millions of people elected them and they cannot accept the behaviours some lawmakers displayed and the language they used beginning from Arial Beel issue to ICC World Cup, stock market scam to countrywide strike and many more. Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. It is true that you may fool all the people for some time, you can even fool some people all the time; but you can't fool all the people all the time.
For God's sake, please act in such a way so that the parliament can be effective and people's desire is fulfilled.
