I would like to draw the attention of the Leaders of the Two Main Political Parties to the political reality of our country today.

Let me narrate some of my personal experiences of life. Bangladesh got her freedom after a long struggle and sacrifice. Though our county is poor and still struggling for a minimum development level, but its People & Nature are unique combinations which cannot be compared with any other country in the world.

As I have already mentioned, our country is still struggling to become a Developed Country. We are facing many obstacles on the way to development, but people are still keeping their fingers crossed. I know our most experienced and educated politicians will point to each other for the failures, but the reality is we all failed and we all have to explain why we could not play our due role.

A volatile political situation is prevailing in the country right now, there is political unrest. Economic problems are there and the law and order situation is alarming. The government is trying to solve the problems, but the situation has not really improved. In my view, bombing of public meetings is the most alarming problem today.

Now all the political parties have started to make an issue out of this according to there own party needs. My question is, can't we all try for once to become united and put an end to this type of crimes? Why can't our politicians see that the situation is getting worse day by day?

If the leaders of Palestine and Israel can sit together for Peace, why can't we sit together to stop crime?
