Why the talks failed
Sir. Mr Shah AMS Kibria in his article "Why the Talks Failed" (The Daily Star. January 21. 1996) stated that BNP's proposal of the President heading the advisory council “would change the very structure of the constitution from parliamentary to the presidential system’. Would he like to comment on the fact that if the Awami League had so much regard for the parliamentary system how come they all resigned turning the parliamentary system into a mockery? A sign of Awami League's maturity and respect for parliament would nave been if they compelled the government to undertake the caretaker government issue while they were members of the parlia-
ment. I have to admit that even if they tried to do that they did not try hard enough to mobilize the whole house to do the needful.
Even if we assume, as, Mr SAMS Kibria states, that The government was never serious about a settlement which would bring the opposition parties to the election", would not the image of the Awami League in the public eye be glorified if their leader sat down in face to face talks with the PM. Without any Kr conditions? That would
5 shown that the leader of the Opposition truly cares for the welfare of our poor" country and its people.
1 cannot but make a concluding remark that with such an eminent and knowledgeable person like SAMS
Kibria as an advisor to the Awami League chief, the Awami League could not rise upto the dire and desperate need of the country and prevent it from falling into a deep, dark abyss.

BTVs Bangla cinema
Sir, It was indeed one leap In the right direction for BTv to start screening Bangla movies every week instead of once a month. However, these Bangla movies have
now become stereotyped with the same old faces acting in almost all the films and with the same old stories etc
I would only like to make a proposal to BTV to consider screening of films of the subcontinent. I am sure most of us understand the major languages of this continent, and this screening can be on alternate weeks. I am sure this will give a further boost to BTV and the viewers will be very happy.
Furthermore, we would ap -eclate to watch SARRC pn grammes at least once a month, be it educational, quiz, or musical ones.
Please consider my pro posal
