Unsolicited 'advice'
As usual the visiting dignitary from a western country finding no other issues “advised' the government to open outdoor politics without realising the significance and effect of any such move. While making the 'advice' he appears to have totally ignored the historical steps taken by the administration towards holding of a meaningful election for peaceful transfer of power to an elected government. He seems to be totally oblivious of the fact that the present administration is at the helm of affairs for a mission with popular support to get rid of a situation created by the corrupt and power hungry politicians who made a mess of the country in every aspect. I do not understand what amusement these western countries (particularly two) including a few of their paper organisations called 'European Union' get by showering unnecessary and unsolicited advice on us as to how to run the government, how to do politics, how to behave with the corrupt and the criminals etc. We are no longer in a position to listen to the so 'called 'advice from the West and it is, therefore, high time for them to stop this evil practice.
May I have the privilege of quoting the under noted extract from the famous book 'Wisdom of Mankind” written by Dr. Habib Siddiqui, a Bangladeshi internationally known expert in Six Sigma methodology, now based in Los Angeles.
“ The West does not have a conscience, it never had. Hypocrisy had been her trademark. Truly, if hypocrisy is an art, the West has mastered it. As Malcolm X would have said: There is no system more corrupt and more hypocritical than a system that represents itself as the example of freedom, the example of democracy, the example of fraternity and can go all over this earth telling other people how to strengthen their houses, how to manage their affairs, while their own minorities non Christians, are denied the basic human rights including democratic rights and are unprotected and routinely discriminated upon.”
Anyone having a minimum sense of humanity would wonder what these western countries have been doing by invading the middle eastern countries recently on the false pretext of war on 'terror' by inflicting untold sufferings to the inhabitants unprecedented in the history of mankind; only to serve their political, military and economic lusts. Therefore, the early they shun their hypocrisy, the better for the world.
