A fresh start
We all must admit that our political leaders and their parties utterly failed to offer a true, meaningful democratic system. Non-cooperation, mutual hatred and corruption at all levels, caused misery to the country and its people. One Eleven created the opportunities for a fresh start. But, as we see, even now, our political leaders cannot come out of their traditional limitations to serve the greater interest of the country. For them, their top symbolic leaders are more important than working to build a prosperous and peaceful nation for our next generation.
We really need a fresh start with fresh and young blood! Let us find entirely new political leaders who were never nominated by the parties before.
Let our leaders come from the bottom, from the union level and upazila level. Let the candidates be nominated by the people at the grassroots based on their capability, creativity, honesty and sincerity. We must not accept candidates nominated by the top party leaders sitting in Dhaka where the candidates are selected on the basis of their muscle power or money.
If we fail to find new dynamic, creative and honest leaders, then the spirit of "One Eleven" will be buried, and with that the hopes and dreams of millions of Bangladeshis!
