BNP's structure
I have gone through the letter "BNP's structure" in 22 September'08 issue written by Dr Jamir Chowdhury. He has rightly pointed out the fallacy of democracy and governance issue.
I was also surprised the other day while watching TV news that Mr Tanvir Ahmed had proposed Khaleda Zia's lifelong chairmanship. This is clearly beyond the norms of democracy and she did not comment anything against this proposal instantly (although one day later it was rejected by Khaleda due to heavy criticism from the electronic and print media).
So I fully agree with the writer that international donors /communities must put pressure on the political parties (not only the BNP and the AL but also other parties) to practise democracy in their respective organisations (and if necessary change some party constitutions). Here I must praise the commendable work of the EC regarding the RPO-- so that automatically or in natural way the political leadership will be developed in our country (truly speaking, the current practice blocks political leadership development). As a result, we can expect better (good) democracy and governance from the ruling party as well as opposition parties in our country.
Everybody should work in this direction (political pundits and civil society members in particular). I think diktats from the top/govt. are not acceptable to us as a nation.
The current CTG has time to do something positive for the benefit of the whole nation.
I request the CTG to think over this issue seriously and convey this message strongly to the political parties.
