Final whistle for AL
Referring to the latest defeat of AL-backed candidate in Gazipur election, TDS in its editorial on July 8, has advised AL to seriously go for soul-searching. The series defeat of AL in all city corporation elections by increasingly wider margins is no more a waking alarm; rather many believe it to be the final whistle for them to get ready for departure.
Like everyone, AL also knows very well why it is being rejected by the people and no serious brainstorming is needed to take corrective actions. But there is no time, and it is also highly unlikely that the ruling party will come to its senses as it is being piloted by a leader who is characterised by arrogance, whims and vengeance. Probably, the unfortunate people of this country will see more hartals, arson, deaths and destruction of public and private property. Mere change of hands in state power will not bring any change in the fate of the nation unless the big two political parties, who are two sides of the same coin, learn from their past mistakes and correct themselves. By this time, all the political parties must realise that the general mass are not fools and know when to throw someone into the dustbin.
