Irresponsible politics


Once I wanted to be an honest politician because they used to think about the people, especially those who are deprived and cannot fulfil their basic needs. But now who are thinking about those people? I am 26 years old and was a voter in 2001 election but I did not cast my vote for any party as the candidates were not honest and there was violence in my constituency. Those who hold the elections have to be neutral. Unfortunately, both the major parties want to have a caretaker government of their choice. For achieving this goal, they are ready to do anything and everything. By the grace of Allah, so far all the caretaker governments acted neutrally. But this time the BNP has chosen one of its own men as the chief of the caretaker government. Because of the irresponsibility and greed for power of the politicians, we people suffer a lot. The poor are becoming poorer and corrupt people are becoming richer day by day.

We want the elections to be free and fair.
