Some suggestions


Here I am expressing my personal opinion regarding the permanent solution of our nasty political problems. You all know that the present interim government has saved our nation from a disaster. We don't want to return to those bad days again. Many steps are being taken by our present interim government. These all are good in the eye of majority but not the so-called politicians who have created the present situation. I am not going to discuss those in detail. But we have to remember that ultimately a political government will run the country. So, their political culture has to be changed. Otherwise, we will go back to those bad days again and again. That's why here I want to add two points and hope those will be seriously considered by our government.

First, the present interim government has to seize all the moveable and unmovable properties which have been looted by the politicians. Besides, if you give them light punishment it will encourage them to loot more in the future. They will draw a new blueprint of illegal looting and earning next time.

Second, as we know power tends to corrupt, so we need to check it by a special measure. In parliamentary election we should introduce the 'No Vote' immediately and there will be a rule like if the 'no vote' gets the majority in a parliamentary seat, then all the contenders in that election will be permanently disqualified to take part in any election in the future. If we introduce it then we can change our national politics ( the political parties will not nominate any corrupt man out of fear of losing that seat through negative voting).

I think these two points are worth considering.
