LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Will the comment influence politicians?
TDS editor Mahfuz Anam's commentary' 'A picture and a train' (Nov. 29) showed how frustrated the respected editor has become by the current political turmoil. Nevertheless, I can't help but ponder whether this kind of message would be an eye-opener to those it should concern. Sadly; if international pressure couldn't bring any changes, then what is the guarantee that our efforts in the form of opinions, commentary; etc., wouldn't go in vain?

Journalists merely silent watchers?
Nowadays whenever I open the newspaper I'm greeted either by a burning bus or by a suffering patient at the bum unit of DMCH. Journalists take pictures of buses being torched and rail tracks being removed, but can't they take the pictures of the miscreants who are involved in these heinous acts? Why don't they stop the miscreants before they' go into action? Journalists are the ones to know who are the gangs involved in such acts; so why don't they inform the police and Rab beforehand?
Undoubtedly, it is a good thing that we are being well informed about these horrifying incidents, but what is the use of it, if we can't catch the people involved? Our fellow journalists are merely silent bystanders of these events. The journalists are the ones who risk their lives every' day to provide us with news. Can't they take another step to help identify these murderers and save us from this eternal nightmare?

Why can't our leaders set such examples?
Recently the roof of Maxim Supermarket in Riga, Latvia (a small Baltic state of only two million people) collapsed and 59 people were killed. The prime minister of the state resigned; not that he had anything to do with the collapse. It was a symbolic gesture to show his concern.
In one of our neighbouring state a girl was raped and badly mauled. The prime minister took the responsibility of sending her to Singapore for treatment.
Eight people have been killed when a helicopter plunged into a busy Glasgow pub. Scottish flags in government buildings were flown at half-mast for the rest of the week.
Do such incidents at home create any sympathy in the mind of the people masquerading as the keepers of our country'?

Time has come to raise our collective voice against this senselessness of the two leaders.
Mohammad Rahman
I agree. These two ladies are the main reason of our sufferings and political crisis. We need new leadership.
Masudur Rahman
The country' belongs to the people who are the source of all power. The so-called political leaders must realise that undermining the mass people's interests, jeopardising their livelihood, destroying national resources, and killing innocent people would ultimately lead to erosion of people's trust in them.
Abdullah Joypuri
It is Awami League who wiped out democracy from Bangladesh by introducing BAKSAL and paid the price. Now Awami League again has wiped out CFG from our constitution and the people of Bangladesh are paying the price. It proves we are not civilised yet like the other nations of the modern world. What a shame!
Akhtar Shah
Never a truer statement been made before, the last paragraph contains the real answer. It's time the vast silent suffering majority spoke and put their foot down.
Akm Bari
Who gave these ladies so much power of cruelty and arrogance?
Nds
Having agreed completely with what have been said, may I ask who made them cruel and arrogant? Is it not the people who are found overenthusiastic to put them in power alternately?
