Dr. B and our political culture

I guess the incidents that have taken place surrounding Dr. B and his son Mahi B Choudhury, are totally unfair. In our country, politics means "rivalry". The political parties always fail to notice the good sides of the opposition. That is what our politics is.

Dr. B is the only outspoken politician in Bangladesh. For this reason. our political leaders are now after him. Whatever the doctor said, he said so considering the BNP as his own party. And I guess he has the right to do so. And about the reactions he got -- I can only say that people are not open to new ideas. They should appreciate his ideas.

Corruption, black marketing, political rivalry, murder, kidnapping and rape have become part of life. But who is supposed to take the necessary action against all these? It is none other than the political leaders. But it is our bad luck that the country does not have such leaders who care for the collective good and will do something to change the prevailing situation.

I am very happy that someone has finally opened his mouth. Now let's wait and see whether any positive change takes place in the days ahead.
