The role of opposition leader
Refer to the letter entitled "The role of opposition leader" published in The Daily Star on 10 February 06. The remarks our opposition leader made in the long march really drew my attention. It was not a leader like speech. The tone was commanding. She never surveys the political situation in her speech. Sometimes she stands in her own light. In democracy tolerance is very important. Aggressive remarks only make the relations with the ruling party strained. They make good headlines in the newspapers but are very damaging for democracy. We, the general people, want to see the opposition and the ruling party working side-by-side, shoulder-to-shoulder to change the fate of Bangladesh.
