Political agitation
Kaniz Fatema Jui, Dept of Law, DU
We, the people of Bangladesh, are really in a dilemma about the present political impasse. It is really difficult to predict the direction towards which the country is heading. The strategies of the political parties are changing every day. May be it is moving towards a point of no return. I personally condemn the activities of the Bangladesh Awami League. This old political party which actually led us in the liberation war has now left no stone unturned to misguide us. It has even sacrificed all its objectives and ideology just to win in the cheap political game. In these crucial days the whole nation is looking at the party for proper guidance which it miserably failed to provide. I do not know what will be the fate of the Awami League if it does not participate in the election but surely it would not be a good example for our immature democracy. It seems to me that the AL is afraid of participating in the election; therefore Sheikh Hasina is trying to fish in troubled water. The BNP is also not above controversy. In spite of being out of power, it is still trying to manipulate the election process. Both the parties are now striving to secure power even at the cost of the future of the country. They neither have patriotism nor mere sympathy for the countrymen. So now the million dollar question is: should we vote only to replace one corrupt, intellectually bankrupt and morally depraved group by another?
