Political turmoil
Munem Wasif / Driknews
Hartal, procession and turbulence are very common things prior to election in our country. I have never seen any election without these 'essentials'. Lately, the apprehension of three political leaders has exhibited a sign of imminent political unrest. Besides, one of the major political parties has announced its seven point demand, signalling the impending political unrest. We understand that election under the state of emergency is unconstitutional and unlawful, but is creating anarchy and crippling the country by calling hartal and putting it into a deadlock lawful? Everybody wants a free and fair election but many of us don't want to make it happen under the state of emergency, why? We know that people do not enjoy fundamental rights, while living under emergency rules. Actually, what is our fundamental right-- is it like acting as a suicidal bomber, slaying innocent people and battling each other for grabbing power and freely getting involved in corruption to be rich overnight? Have we ever thought when does a country need to go under the state of emergency rules? In fact this govt. was necessary for this country to bring back the lost gloss of everything. Albeit the entire country has not yet been free of venality, but its authority has been striving their level best to eliminate the venal groups for the sake of prosperity. Already crores of taka illegally gotten by our so-called politicians has been refunded to the govt. exchequer for future development of this crippled country. Not only they (politicians) have proved that they will be on the rampage, making a chaotic situation, but also they will be indulging in corruption as soon as the emergency goes.
