Hats off to veterans
On 16th August 2011, what we saw in the parliament would simply remain memorable for a longer period of time to us and which clearly shows democracy is still there in this country. The whole nation is upset with some ministers and questioning their commitment towards the country. Those ministers not only made the PM upset but also created a big public dissatisfaction. In that session two veterans, Tofael Ahmed and Suranjit Sengupta blasted their ministers in front of the PM which showed us that still some care about people. We found the communications minister baffled with this sudden outburst, and luckily the finance minister was not present that day, otherwise he would have gone through heavy criticism. What really upset me were the opposition leaders' comments, stating that Awami League had internal conflicts and they must resign, and they also asked for early election. They should have appreciated these unprecedented activities in that parliament where ministers were rebuked, which people watched live on TV, for not performing their duties properly. Please respect democracy and appreciate things that deserve respect.
