Politics and Dr. Yunus
As per the electoral roadmap, the next election in Bangladesh will be held by December 2008 under the present caretaker government. But we are disappointed to see that the old parties and their leaders will take part in the next election. So we cannot expect much change in the coming years through these fellows who have taken politics as their business.
We were happy to see that our pride Noble Prize winner Dr. Yunus had expressed his desire to form a political party. But after a few days, all of a sudden, he closed down his activities, blaming the people who wanted to join his party but backed out later.
We were astonished. Dr. Yunus should have relied on common people and not on some branded politicians. I still believe that had Dr. Yunus continued his political activities, we could have seen a substantial change in the political arena. It is our bad luck, no doubt.
