Election issue
I might sound outrageous or totally disappointed with the anticipated final episode of our over played political drama! We have heard for the last 14 months of "one-eleven" and " election shall be held by December 2008". The CEC has gone one step further and said that “ Dead or alive, we will hold election on time.” The election might be held on time, but which election, general election or local govt.? The argument put forward to hold local govt. election in April or May is not tenable, but seen as forced on the nation. The nation immediately needs a legislative body for accountability of the government including the constitutional institutions where signs of arbitrary decision and action seemed to take precedence over law.
In the back drop of this short and constructive review, I have two questions in mind to present to the readers. These are :-
a. If you are asked to identify one single person, repeat one single person, whom would you identify as being responsible for the emergence of "one-eleven"?
b. Which constitutional body/institution might ultimately emerge as the centre of all controversies and uncertainties about holding or not holding the general election in Bangladesh?
