National charter
The CTG has taken bold and long awaited steps to ensure transparency in govt. activities and is working hard to attain certain goals. Now, we see a strengthened ACC, independent Judiciary and Election Commission, improved law order situation, efficient ports facilitating import and export, improving overall economic infrastructure, in spite of natural calamities, etc. All these laudable achievements are the foundation of a prosperous and democratic nation. None of these was the responsibility of the CTG, but it had no other alternative but to take all these initiatives proactively in the backdrop of the anarchy created by the political parties before 1/11, demand of the civil society and peace-loving people. The govt. had not come to power with a pre-planned agenda, rather they had to develop an agenda to achieve all these common goals after assumption of state power.
The purpose of the proposed national charter primarily should be to control the unruly activities of the political activists posing as the greatest impediment in the way of national development. The charter should produce concurrence of all political parties on the issue of banning activities like hartal, private/govt. property destruction, political enmity, teacher/student party politics, etc. I believe the proposed national charter will help to consolidate the achievements of the CTG as of today and pave the way for greater national strides in the future. I urge the govt. to form a national commission to delineate the national charter.
