CA's bold decision
The Chief Adviser has finally spoken and vowed to hold the national election as per schedule he promised to the nation time and again. The nation has felt a sigh of relief hearing this news. This is what the people of all walks of life were waiting for. I believe the people of Bangladesh will remember the CTG if this happens and an elected government is in place at the dawn of 2009. Bangladesh is not anybody's personal property and an individual however powerful he/she may be cannot manipulate on his or her sweet will and dictate things as he/she wishes. If the people of Bangladesh have learnt something from 1/11, they should back the present CTG to bring change in the age-old confrontational politics based on lies, fake hopes and unhealthy rivalry.
We feel really disturbed to listen to the opinions of some political analysts, including some foreign mission chiefs that if such and such party do not participate in the election, no election will be a credible one. I differ with their opinion because what we have seen in the past, what we have experienced in the past, is that our leaders did politics for their own personal gains only.
Their method of climbing to power and stay there was by discrediting the opposition, holding out false hopes, using muscle powers and money against their rivals etc. Time has come to bring change in the methods. And people can achieve it by helping the present government.
A leader of one of the major political parties is making demand after demand to suit their own needs. It is a never ending game plan of that party and will not stop till the situation is in their favour. I appreciate the CA who has taken the bold step to hold the election on time.
