Harping on the same string
There is a limit to people's patience. We have become tired of hearing from the prime minister and other leaders of the Awami League that under the supervision of this government six thousand elections have been held in a free and fair manner. How could the national election be compared with these elections? Do they think that people are fools?
Sheikh Hasina is repeatedly saying that if people give their verdict in her favour, she will come to power, otherwise not. Our question is then, why is she not allowing them to cast their votes in a congenial atmosphere? Why is she not reinstating the caretaker government? We hope she will feel people's pulse and act accordingly.

The approaching storm
BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia is now threatening to wage a new type of movement after October 25, if the government does not restore the caretaker government system in the constitution. On the other hand, our PM Sheikh Hasina is stubbornly refusing to budge an inch (or hair!) from the present constitution. Now it seems that the prospect of a political consensus on the election time government is fading away with the passage of time.
The common people of the country are very much worried about the present political deadlock which may end up in dangerous confrontations between the supporters of two hostile camps.
Only our top political leaders' sagacity and farsightedness can save the country from the approaching political storm which may ultimately jeopardise our existence as a democratic nation.

Nothing is right on the road
During my more than two years' stay in Houston, Texas, USA, I perhaps heard honking two or three times while commuting between work and home. Here in North America, both in Canada and the USA, people only honk when there is something wrong.
Back in Bangladesh, people start honking as soon as someone hits the streets. What does this imply? It means nothing is correct and everything is wrong. All this is a cumulative result of misrule and misconduct by the regimes in power over four decades. Apparently, the overall situation in Bangladesh has reached the point of no return. We can only hope for the best.
