Whither politics?

Whither politics?

Md. Rashid, Department of Statistics, Begum Rokeya university, Rangpur

The political situation of our beloved country is deteriorating fast. It seems the deaths of common people, the cries of mothers, the burning of buses, the sufferings of the poor…nothing matters to our leaders. The demand of the people for peace is being ignored totally. Who cares about the common people?

The state minister for home affairs said that the government would compensate for any damage of vehicles during blockades. But can the government or any political party compensate for the loss of life? Both the parties should come to an understanding to resolve the political stalemate. I strongly demand for a referendum in order to decide whether the upcoming election will be organised under a neutral caretaker government.
