Pre-emptive politics

Do the RAB activities in Bangladesh remind us of pre-emptive politics as practised by the super-power at the global level, and by Israel in the ME, not to speak of its fondness by the dictatorial regimes in many parts of Asia, Africa and S America. Bad imitation is more popular than good imitation.

Here, both the major political parties have there own camouflaged styles of working, not to speak of the leftist stray groups. Now terrorist bombings in the country remind us of this modern way of enforcing political and other dogmas on the innocent.

Our parliament is not working; corruption has become institutionalised, the teaching profession has eroded moral ethics, cheating in business and contracts are widely prevalent. The government is supposed to take corrective actions at the national and social levels. But who cares, when sensitivities are also polarised? The ship of state is floating rudderless.
