Alas! We are doomed and our future seems bleak. Now the poor Bangladeshis have to wait for decades until the current ‘prodigal’ sons are ready to retire and replaced by their children. There is simply no escape.

It’s amazing how politics in Bangladesh has become a playground for family members of certain political parties. Let us hope that the new generation of voters comes out of this vicious circle.

I wish I could breathe at least once in a Bangladesh with no prince and princess around!

We remember the election of 2001. AL was overly confident about their victory and the result was devastating. Ironically, we are observing the same attitude now. No one takes lessons from history.

Both Tareque and Joy act like it is their birth right to be in power. Can’t we have any decent politicians?

Tareq Zia has not yet apologised for his past errors nor did he assure us that he would mend his ways in the future. Indeed we must be aware!

How unfortunate for us that we have to choose between the devil and the deep sea and may even end up from fry pan to fire.

Bangalees should rid Bangladesh of these crown princes along with their mothers from Bangladesh politics. There must be some other way to find new decent political leaders who can show their ability without the guidance from their moms to lead this poor country towards prosperity.

The most important question is: when will Bangladesh be free from this monotonous, yet toxic politics of the two parties? Bangladesh needs something new, a group of operators untainted by personal agendas and family interests.

Until or unless we attain a significant literacy rate as well as a high moral value in the national politics, we have to accept those princes or princesses.

Very thoughtful and timely article. These ‘sons’ are not new in our subcontinent. It’s our culture that we accept them so easily!
