Dying rivers
Thanks to Channel i and The Daily Star for the programmes on the rivers around the city. We will be eagerly waiting to watch next episodes, although I was quite sceptical about the objective of the programme. Nevertheless, this has been able to generate public awareness. It is well anticipated that these episodes would point fingers at the government to initiate measures to mitigate the sufferings of people made public through these programmes.
I hope the sponsors are well aware about the important role of the opposition parties to help create a common platform to address the issues to be raised under these programmes. Few special episodes would be needed to turn around the negative role of the opposition to positive participation.
My second suggestion is to help the lawmakers draft a bill to be presented in parliament. We can see a lot of cases being filed in public interest in the court of law by individuals or collectively.
I think the opposition members in parliament should be requested to present the bill in parliament which they know will serve the public interest. There is no use saying that we cannot talk in parliament!
