Govt. and opposition should work together

Mohammed Jashim Uddin, Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS), Dhaka
This is the 40th year of our independence. We want to be more optimistic and confident that our country will go ahead towards economic development, peace, prosperity, and self-sufficiency. We want the commitment of change to turn into reality. Our last year's list of achievements is considerable. The government has started the trial of war criminals, made a better national education policy. It has also progressed in agriculture sector, uprooting militancy, making friendly foreign relations, discovering genome sequencing of jute, decreasing poverty rate, increasing per capita income, achieving self-sufficiency in food, increasing export earning. We are optimistic that Bangladesh will go ahead. Let us build a Sonar Bangla giving up politics of hartal, clashes and chaos. We hope the government and the opposition will work shoulder to shoulder for our country's economic development and betterment of the people.
