Our politicians
The letter by Mr. Abdad Khan, How to be popular, April 6, 2004, is a cry in the wilderness, as our politicians remain out of our sight leaving our election aspirations out of their mind. Yet, I take the opportunity to endorse the views of Mr. Khan very strongly urging the party in power to honour its election commitment and speed up the construction of the gas pipeline to the northern zone, besides removing the road obstacles even at the inter-district level as between Bogra and Joypurhat.
I also endorse empowerment of the Dhaka city commissioners to look into our problems without interference from the mayor and the ministry . Any computerised system can detect any misdoing by the responsible person as focused by Mr. Khan.
I expect the ruling party to take the rare chance of demonstrating its sincerity in fulfilling the hopes of the people.
