List of godfathers

In other words, editors are not responsible for such letters, it's absolutely the opinion of the readers. With due respect to the writer, I would like to make some comments on the write up.

It's noticed that nowadays a few letters are published concerning the present political and social scenario in the country. Most of the letters published in newspapers are encompassing the scarcity of the basic needs or problems of the locality. But seldom we find write-ups in which the government is criticised for its misdeeds or jeered for its indecisive role in ruling the country. Rather, the opposition is bitterly criticised for their role as an opposition in the national politics. I guess both the ruling party and the opposition have equal responsibilities in developing a cordial atmosphere in the political arena, even if it's true that both the ruling and opposition parties give shelter to the miscreants.

In fact some men or political parties patronise the godfathers. But publicly they deny the fact of maintaining relations with these criminals and accuse each other of providing shelter to the criminals. A godfather plays a important role with black money and muscles in the general elections. So if according to the AL there are 101 godfathers in the BNP, similarly BNP can counter it by publishing a list of the godfathers of the past government (AL) rather than escaping the truth by denying the fact and lodging case against them (AL leaders). What they are doing now! By lodging defamation cases against the AL stalwarts, the government is losing the battle because it cannot prove that the AL's statement is false and fabricated. Only they can harass the AL leaders and indulge in mud-slinging through which they can create a political turmoil So this is a political game .

But it's painful to see when some of the write-ups covertly or overtly defend the statement made by the leaders of a political party and try to bury the truth. It seems quite unbecoming of a man who is a member of a noble profession. It's a matter of great regret that we find our professional groups divided into different camps. It's expected that a united platform of the professional groups will inject moral courage in the general people to overcome any crisis and fight against any injustice. But alas!

Such expectation will remain blues for our countrymen. Some of the intellectuals are blind supporters of a political party.

No matter how grave the situation is such sycophants never enlighten the general people with facts. I think our writing should be impartial and should focus on the national issues, rather then being partisan. So the real situation could be reflected in writings and readers will not be misguided. I hope my letter won't hurt anybody.

Furthermore, I would like to make a fervent request to all valued readers to write something that creates a scope for further analysis. We expect better and constructive criticisms from the writers on different issues that create scope for the readers to think and assess the essence of such writing.
