Sigh of relief
Dr. M Motahar, Uttara, Dhaka
The people of Bangladesh have endured military rule and imperfect democracy for more than three decades. Just as it is now, an interim caretaker government has brought a sigh of relief to them. I have noticed a sudden change all over the country after the new government of Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed took charge of the statecraft. This has been a 'welcome change' to all well-meaning people. Dr. Yunus has spoken the truth about politicians. The whole country is now full of corrupt people at all levels and in all departments, incredible though it may sound.My suggestion is that the government take a bold step to get rid of corruption and recover public funds emptied by corrupt politicians. It has to launch a crusade against crime and make sure that before contesting election politicians and parties are thoroughly screened by anti-corruption personnel. All government employees, police, army, and civil servants should be asked to serve the people and keep themselves away from party politics. Allow freedom of the press so that it can serve the nation. The top criminals should get exemplary punishment. May I also suggest that the newspapers arrange opinion poll from time to time on the performance of the caretaker government.
