I am a voter...
I am 21. Therefore, definitely I did not see the 1971 Liberation War, but I had felt the cruel nature of war through 1/11, the political upheaval in the history of Bangladesh. So far we have seen many trends in political arena whereby 1/11 was the most remarkable one. The 1/11 has exhibited the sheer spectacle of all the major parties to become the rulers, divulging their avarice of grabbing the power. Does democracy mean that country will be hampered in its many systems like in terms of education, in case of earning foreign currency through export, and running business smoothly without any interruption? In our country, democracy is not of the people, by the people, for the people; rather it's like democracy is of the politicians, by the politicians, for the politicians. Other than the general citizens, politicians are earnestly concerned about bringing back the democracy even when many of their accomplices are languishing in jail, and others are at large.
The way anarchy, vandalism, extremism and atrocities have been displayed by our so-called politicians, are simply terrible and utterly unacceptable. And these phenomena have made this short-term government impose the state of emergency, which has helped lead our country without any major political turmoil.
When election is knocking at the door right at this moment all the major parties are reluctant to partake in the upcoming election, why? Earlier, all the major political parties used to urge this government to hold the election by making all necessary provisions! Our question is why they are reluctant to take part in the election under the state of emergency?
I am indeed baffled as to who to vote as I have some bad experience.
