Errant politicians

This is in reference to an editorial published in a Bangla daily on 8th January, 2005.

If in two words our fundamental problems can be defined, Illiteracy and Immorality will dominate.

Illiteracy brought incompetence, inefficiency and endemic corruption and immorality brought this nation down to anything unthinkable. There are men and woman who are preaching us in their own ethical standard, but there is no doubt in my mind that they are not serving any cause of this nation.

No politician in my perception in our country is willing to dedicate or offer her/his focus on the well being of our people, all they are doing is how to win the election which requires muscle power and money. Four percent of GDP plunders and all the terrorist activities are the outcome of such politics.

People who have to survive within this, struggle hard to find a way out. On their way any hope, fictitious or genuine, they want to cling to as a desperate move. It goes from a new legislature on tax regime, new terms of reference to University Grant Commission, banking rules, reduction of interest rate or even a soft loan offer, and the latest Anti Corruption Commission!
