Lack of a statesman
A writer has correctly identified our lack of a statesman needed to lead us; as published in the letters column of a local English daily. For us unfortunately, a statesman is an extremely rare or possibly extinct species in Bangladesh!
Politicians are here, there and everywhere; "dime a dozen" of "all shades and sides" keen to climb the throne, to mess up the country by their version of democracy which can be defined as "of the politicians, by the politicians, for the politicians", and devil take the people once the vote is cast!
For the duration of office, our vocal and capable politicians are extremely busy in an extremely efficient manner to practise their capability to get at wealth-- "by hook or by crook' from every nook and cranny.
