Some suggestions


I am a Bengalee and my father was a doctor, martyred during the liberation war. Very recently, I left my beloved country which is now passing through a grave crisis.

I would like to request the politicians to amend the constitution and ensure the following:

1. None can compete for MP when s/he attains the age of 65.

2. If anybody was sentenced to jail for a period for more than one year s/he will be disqualified for doing politics for the next 10 years.

3. The Election Commission, the judiciary, Public Service Commission, Anti corruption Bureau should be completely independent.

4. Submission of wealth statement of the applicant, his/her parents, spouse and parents-in-law including TIN number, if any, before getting any employment of the state should be mandatory.

5. After retirement, no government servant will be qualified for becoming MP. I personally think that after that the politicisation of everything will be reduced since after retirement nobody will have the dream of becoming a corrupt minister.
