Good candidates for 2007 elections?
Peerzada Syed Rofiqul Hussain, Hiala Shaheb Bari, Habigonj
In a recent meeting of Nagorik Songlap held in Dhaka, political parties were urged to be careful in nominating their party candidates for the next general elections in 2007. But if we go through the present system of selecting the party candidates, we find that very few honest and highly qualified candidates are nominated by the major parties. The beneficiaries of the existing system are the dishonest traders, black money holders and black marketers; every party gives nomination to those who can give a good donation to the party funds. Sometimes that donation or subscription may exceed Tk 1 crore. So it is not easy to get good candidates nominated by the parties.
