Election on schedule …

Rafiqul Islam Rime, Agrabad, Chittagong

The present CTG deserves our salutes; they've been doing what the whole nation expects them to do. They've uprooted the multifaceted vices that had been eating up the backbone of this country; they've glued up the cracks in the democratic fabric of the republic-- the holes for the rats of the dark are severely battered. The present price hike will hopefully be resolved by this "few good men" soon. We, the citizens, have seen much of the mal-governance by the previous democratic governments; we've well understood their unending greed for money and powerwe've lost faith in them (except the good ones) --- how long do we have to look unto the heavens for good signs? We hope against hopes, for we understand that there are good and competent people around us … we are a good people, sir. At this point, however, we have noticed with some respite that AL chief Sheikh Hasina spoke for the election to be held on time even without her that is indeed a good sign for us that our leaders are, lately though, showing signs of maturity. Finally, it is indeed nice to observe that our voice does match with that of the friendly foreign countries like the US, UK EU and others; and on top of all it matches with Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed's pledge that he made and has been making with a good and firm conviction.
