Dr. Yunus' proposal
Golam Rosul Maruf Physics Department University of Dhaka
This refers to Mr. M. M. A. Sayeed Rushd's letter titled "Appeal to politicians" published in The Daily Star on December 22, 2006. Yes, I do agree with his opinion about the crucial time we are passing through due to restless politics. But I can't stand parallel to him as I think Prof. Yunus' proposal is not applicable for our country because the reality is different. He proposed a government from both parties with a view to ensuring free election. But how many political bodies can make this government and in which ways matters such as education, economy and other important sectors will be dealt with? Dear Mr. Sayeed, in our country the president has no power. So who can assure us that in "Yunus' proposed government" power will not be captured by the prime minister? Moreover, the method of forming the intermediate government was not clear in his proposal. Election is a must for democracy, but to ensure a free, fair and acceptable election neutralisation of administration, an overhauled EC and an A to Z corrected voter list are needed. You pointed Prof. Yunus' proposal as the last opportunity, but I think if the CG comes with a neutral face and takes steps to make it a level playing field for election, the present crisis can be resolved.
