Transition has to be peaceful
Time is running out. The situation may go out of control unless both AL and BNP come to a quick conclusion about election-time government. We were a little relieved after the announcement of all-party government by PM. Later, general secretary of AL confirmed that Sheikh Hasina would be the head of the polls-time government. We were taken aback again because we know that BNP will not participate in the election if Sheikh Hasina remains the head of polls-time government. We don't want to see anarchy over this issue. We want peaceful transition of power.

Being proud without arrogance
When the present government is trying to win people's support to succeed in the next election, it is natural that they will try to sell their achievements. It's okay to brag about the things they have done well. But it is about time they learned how to brag in a way that won't make people think that they are arrogant. Why doesn't the party in power ensure good governance so that people would vote for them happily? People do not want to vote you to power just because you are slight better than the opposition. This is negative campaign for God's sake.

Irrational demand of polytechnic students A few days ago, rowdy polytechnic students took to the streets and engaged in vandalism in support of their two-point demand. On tacit approval of their demands from the government, they stopped their violent activities temporarily.
Students enroll in four-year diploma courses after their SSC examination from science, commerce, or arts groups. Those courses stress practical work and not theoretical knowledge. On the contrary, B.Sc. engineering is a four-year course covering all theoretical, practical, and research-related knowledge complying with international standard. Students enroll here after completing their SSC and HSC examinations from science group only. So, the diploma students are obviously not equally qualified. Ironically, they are seeking rank and privileges equivalent to those of a BSc engineer. If their demands are accepted, an era of disparity will begin in engineering profession. Products of engineering work like construction, designing, and transmission will then be in a mess. This irrational and unacceptable trend must be nipped in the bud.
