Is the government scared?

It has been observed that the BNP government is trying to put a lot more attention on Badruddoza Chowdhury's activities rather than doing its own business. I don't understand why they are sending intelligence agencies to see what Dr. B is doing and whom he is talking to. Is he doing anything against the countrymen? So far I know, he is trying to bring a change in the prevailing rotten politics in Bangladesh. And sensing that, the government is trying hard to intimidate him in various ways.

People in Bangladesh are gradually learning to assess their leaders. These days, people understand the difference between what their leaders are doing after assuming power and what promise they made before coming to power. I am not saying that the government has done nothing so far, rather I should say, it is not doing what it should concentrate on. Experience shows that political parties make promise, only to break it after election is over. And this is the time when people are thinking of a change in the whole political culture. Mr. Chowdhury is saying that only.

Therefore, I would like to appeal to the BNP to help introduce a true democratic practice. Let the people have their own judgement. If you are sure of getting people's support , then why bother so much about political rivals? Let Dr. B do his job smoothly. Try to curb crime, stop corruption and restore people's faith in the administration.
