Stop the blame game

Badal Hasib, English Teacher, Dhanmondi, Dhaka
We are distraught that the government is increasing the price of all essentials without even having sympathy for the common people. Look at the bigwigs of the government as well as the opposition and other political parties. They are all rich. How do we expect them to understand common people's problems? Have they ever thought how will these people cope with the sudden increase in fuel and gas price? When WikiLeaks started revealing secret news about our politicians, each of them denied the accusations made against them, blaming it on the opposition party. Our ministers blame the former government for all the corruption done, without thinking that they were elected to save the nation from the clutch of corruption, and blaming is nothing but hiding from the reality and ignoring the responsibility. We vote for the two political parties over and over again thinking that this time there will be a change but we are just hoping against hope. This blame game will continue for eternity. It all seems a cliché to me.
