Election -2008
Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed promised general election by the end of 2008. Many of us are apprehensive and even scared of the return to same old politics and misrule by the corrupt politicians. The last one year of emergency rule by the CTG brought relief and hope amongst most of us. The CTG performed admirably and coped well with natural disasters.
We are impressed. We must not forget the 15 years of abuse of power by the groups of selfish and corrupt people hiding inside deformed political parties. I do not see any principle or honesty in the major political parties. There has been no credible leadership. The nation deserves a lot better than two squabbling families. We still have a few good and reliable leaders who can steer the nation towards freedom from all evils. We all must pick the right people and give them support.
The EC and law abiding intellectuals have a major role to play in setting up the roadmap to proper democracy in Bangladesh. We are still far away from reforming the existing political parties. Nobody wants to see the old riots and hartals back on the streets. The politicians complain because the CTG is doing much better than them. Neither of these too ladies ever apologised for messing up our national assets and democracy itself over the last 15 yrs.
Make way for the honest and decent people to come into politics and establish the rule of law for the benefit of the nation as a whole.
