Letters to the Editor

Our national leaders!

Engr. Md. Aminul Hoque, East Rampur, Dhaka
I have gone through the post editorial titled, “Stubbornness is not leadership” by Mahfuz Anam. He has described the quality of the leadership that this nation is in need at this critical juncture. We must not forget that Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia became leaders by virtue of being daughter and wife of our past leaders and did not undergo the process of becoming leaders. So, it is futile to expect any leadership from them that can salvage the nation from the present crisis created by them, more specifically by the present PM. Dr. Kamal Hossain, the pioneer team member who wrote the Bangladesh Constitution has opined that the present constitution had been mercilessly operated by AL at the wishes of the PM to realise their aim to retain power. On the other hand, to have a dialogue to find out an acceptable formula for holding the next general election, Khaleda Zia should refrain from such silly activity of celebrating her controversial birthday on national mourning day. Until now, history will remember them as two quarrelling women causing endless suffering to the people of this poor nation.
