Politics of Joy
Sajib Wajed joy, Sheikh Hasina's only son, has been unofficially inducted to politics. People from all walks of life have highly appreciated this introduction to politics of a well-educated young man. Joy's induction to politics has undoubtedly geared up the activities of the Awami League. People have already started thinking about the change of leadership in the party. He is also a rival of Tareq Rahman, another future steering force of the BNP. It is not our headache as to who will grace the chair of the head of the state in future. Rather, our main hope and expectation is to have a good government based on the reciprocal rapport between the government and the opposition. Though Joy has not said anything about the precise time of his full-time involvement in politics, the determination to work with his mother indicates that the desire will be fulfilled soon.
We do not want to see the display of old enmity between these two future leaders of our country. Some self-seeking quarters are wholeheartedly trying to keep this age-long confrontation alive. The felicitation letter offered by Tareq Rahman should have been accepted on Joy's part, though it was done without informing him. If the letter was accepted, it would have been an epoch-making example of consolidating the political bond among the people.
We can expect a lot from Joy when he serves the country. He is expected to play an important role in the development of our people and land. Time will tell whether he can live up to our expectations.
