Stop sick politics!

No need to explain why people consider present politics as 'sick politics.' People are frustrated over the politics of confrontation. Every sector like education, health, police, judiciary and civil administration are on the verge of ruin because of partisan appointments. Presently, forced disappearances have become a grave concern among people. It has also become an issue of political confrontation between the ruling party and the opposition. The opposition blames the government for the disappearances of their leaders. On the other hand, the ruling alliances blame the opposition for intentionally making it a political issue. Recently Rashed Khan Menon and Hasanul Haque Inu, two lawmakers of the ruling alliance, made a valuable comment that Jamaat-e-Islami had started the politics of killing and disappearance during the Liberation War, which later got institutionalised by the law enforcers under different governments. No doubt, people want to get rid of this sick politics, but how? Gonoforum President Dr Kamal Hossain recently called upon the country's conscious citizens and civic, professional and women organisations to create national unity to tackle sick politics. I hope that the conscious citizens of the country will not keep mum any more and form a united platform to raise their voices against sick politics before it is too late.
