President should step in to resolve crisis
The president being the head of the state enjoys the prerogative to summon both Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia to his office for an urgent meeting and chair that meeting to resolve the single issue: formation of a very short-lived polls-time government. General perception is that Abdul Hamid as a person is pleasantly acceptable to both the warring political camps and also a wider segment of the population regardless of their various political beliefs. I think this is because of his simple lifestyle and inherent human quality which nowadays most of our political leaders sadly lack. Why are UN, USA, and EU meddling in our domestic affairs hurting our national pride? Our leadership is immensely capable of meeting this challenge. So, it is time President showed it to the world once again that Bangladesh can do it. Have we not read the clarion call of our national poet, Kazi Nazrul Islam: “Oshohay jati morichhe dubiya janena shontoron / Kandari aaji dekhibo tomar matri mukti pon.”?
