BBC programme

On the other day, I and I believe there were several other Bangladeshis who were proud to watch a discussion on BBC World titled "Bangladesh - Can Democracy deliver?" Excuse me, if any of the words has been missed.The political stalwarts of both the parties were approached and they answered very smartly to the presenter. All was going on well. But when a minister was asked why his government has ties with Jamaat-e-Islami, he answered that they need it to win power (!). Then how can he claim that the practice of democracy exists in our country? A big question from many like me, who were born a little before independence or just after it, is there any practice of democracy? Are there no idols in front of us as leaders?
