National unity govt
It was widely reported in the tv news reports and print media on June 3, that Dr. Kamal Hussain, an eminent jurist and chief of the Gono Forum, while participating in the dialogue with the govt. has demanded, among other things, a National Unity Government after the national election. He is a man of international repute, a former minister and a veteran politician.
However, as a commoner, but a bit conscious about our political future, some questions crop up in our minds the answers to which are not known to us. We therefore request Dr. Kamal to please explain how the National Unity Government will work if it is really formed?
01. In the free, fair & credible election, if one single party emerges with absolute majority, why that party will opt for a unity govt?
02. Even if it does, will it not dishonour the people's verdict/mandate and will it not be a betrayal to the people on the part of that party?
03. Dr. Kamal has configured the unity govt drawing some members of Shushil Shamaj along with politicians. What is this Shushil Shamaj, who are the members of that Shamaj, what are their backgrounds, where did they come from, what contribution do they have in politics and nation building?
04. We know some Shushil Shamaj members are former bureaucrats and intellectuals. Some of them were heading important government departments, what are their track records in their respective departments, were their departments made corruption free during their tenures?
