Opposition stand
Golam F Akhter, Convener, Bangladesh-USA Human Rights Coalition. Maryland, USA
In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of United Nations-it is clearly stated how a democratic government should govern its own people. Article 21. (1) Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives (2) Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country. (3) The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures. Looks like the opposition party leaders are trying to make an exception of this right for their own interest ie Power. Do they ever visualize the same exception may be demanded by their opposition when they come into power by the vote of the people. Are these not politics of self interest, confusion, violation of Human Rights, destruction, and deaths?
