No good leaders?

Ghazi Shahadat Hossain, Teacher, Premier University, Chittagong
There is no denying the fact that the prosperity of a country depends on the skills, acumen, integrity, and many other qualities of the top leaders to a large extent. It is a matter of regret that there is a dearth of honest and wise leaders in the political arena of Bangladesh. We have noticed that corrupt and dishonest politicians have been influential and dominating in the central positions of the political parties. We further see that people of impeccable integrity are marginalized or they are not interested in politics at all and dishonest people are taking advantage of it. That's why we see that these people do not have the slightest concern for the welfare of the nation and they are boycotting parliament on any lame excuse. It is absolutely ridiculous and shocking to see some allegedly corrupt leaders as the chairmen of some parliamentary committees. So, it is time for a change and we want to see those people as our leaders who are highly educated, have impressive personalities, can rise to the occasion, can face challenges, and above all entirely committed to the interest of people.
