The state of the nation

The political leaders are vociferous in their attempts to portray the nation in different lights. But these enlightened leaders (who carry dead weights as shackles) miss the basics of human conduct.

Politics is a jharoo (broom) for cleaning up or beating. In this amphitheatre of the gladiators, the innocent masses are not allowed to participate, regardless of the media coverage to defend the rights of the citizens. The lust for a vile life is rampant in metropolis Dhaka, enjoying a stunted growth for more than 30 years. The lunatic asylum laws need to be updated, for more catch in the net.

We are a retarded nation, and the upper class is hostage to the political banias, Shoodh (interest on financial capital) and commissions (and omissions) rule the day. We apparently have no faith in justice. The matter of the moment counts. Many have lost interest in politics. The empty galleries during the Indo-Pak recent cricket matches (DS, April 16) is a similar symptom represented in other countries, political devils control crores of taka through betting (fixation).

We have to change the ineffective political tools and system. There is no point in relying on politics for a while in the near future. There is no scope for political pilgrimage , as secular politics is the rage of the day.

Khuda Hafiz has been changed into Allah Hafiz, religious semantics reinforced with political oratory. The show is free for all, but attendance is compulsory, on pain of punishment and harassment.
