LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Two different situations
I have gone through the article "Egyptian tragedy and lessons for Bangladesh" by Barrister Manzoor Hasan. I beg to differ with the author. The intervention by the Egyptian army in ousting the democratic government is the reason for the present political impasse. But the situation in Bangladesh is totally different. Here a democratically elected government is in power and soon it will relinquish its position. Then who will remain in power till a new government is formed through elections is the question of the day. It is too early to predict any untoward incident in the present context. The two main political parties are yet to start any dialogue and if such a dialogue fails then a critical situation may arise. Please do not undermine the people of Bangladesh. They know what to do in such eventualities. Those who never dream of coming to power through popular votes would think of army takeover.

Whole country is now Hawa Bhaban
In her address at Araihazar on August 23, the PM told the AL supporters that if BNP comes to power, it will open new Hawa Bhaban to allow corruption. In the backdrop of corruption practiced during her reign so far, she hardly reserves the right to say so. The nation was bewildered to see the railway minister's corruption, whose APS was caught with bribe money worth 70 lakh taka. The share market, Hall-Mark, and Destiny scandals are unforgettable records of corruption. The less said about Padma Bridge corruption the better. The BNP, to be honest, had earned bad name for Hawa Bhaban, but people find that the whole country is now turned into Hawa Bhaban by the AL cadres.

Ominous clouds
If the two main political parties don't reach a consensus as to in which manner the next general election should be held, the ongoing political standoff will aggravate. As the government is passing its last days, it should reach out to the main opposition BNP for holding a dialogue. But PM has been refusing BNP's demand saying that undemocratic and unconstitutional forces must not be given chance to get the state power again. So an ominous cloud is hovering over the political sky centering the next parliamentary election. The government should address this political stalemate immediately so that the next parliamentary election can take place without any untoward situation.
