The leaders
No doubt Sheikh Hasina is desperately trying to return to power. The people of this country democratically elected the present government, but Hasina is planning to start a movement and defy the decision of millions of people in her pursuit of power. But the real question is, what good will come if Hasina takes office? We have seen how pathetically she handled her last term. But more importantly, as soon as Hasina takes office, the opposition BNP will begin their programmes (rightly too, because if they couldn't finish their term in office peacefully, why should they let the AL off ?) of hartals and vandalism.
This poor and overpopulated country can't take it any more. I believe the most effective way (without spilling too much blood) to save this country is to put an end to politics dominated by certain families.
Some people might be infuriated by my suggestion and argue that banning them from politics would violate their human rights. I agree with them. But you need to ask yourselves whether the people, who have been violating the rights of millions of citizens for the last 12 years, should be lecturing us about those rights? Most importantly, should we destroy the future of our children and the very existence of this country for a few politicians?
