Politicisation and terrorism
I read the letter 'stop nasty politicisation' by Molla Mohammad Shaheen published in the DS, 1/10/2005. I agree with him. The present situation of ordinary people is like the local proverb 'bag and rope' (chhala and dori). Because, everywhere and in every sphere of life the nasty politics occupies so much space that actually there's little scope to be neutral. Mr. Shaheen's letter informs us that recently 150 JCD cadres have been appointed as Upazilla Election Officers through PSC. How disgraceful!
When the election officers are appointed politically by the BNP government, they will canvass in favour of the party. And in this way we're trying to establish democracy! We're politicising everything job market, election, tender, work permit/license, etc. There're various effects. One of them is local terrorism. Each ward of the city is occupied by the representatives of the ruling party. And we often see rivalry blowing up to violence or bloodshed.
