Our priorities

What do we need now? What Bangladesh needs most now for its 140 million people and their future? A "BRIDE" we need now! It is a symbolic term here! The political parties , elections and the government are the ornaments of the BRIDE !! The bride is nothing but the "POLICY" of the country which is the most important thing for us now !! It is not important who wins the election and who sits on the opposition benches in parliament, what is important is the right "policy" which must be followed strictly in order to get the proper democratic system started in our country for the first time in history. A policy , which is 100% for the welfare of the general public, nothing else. A policy which will ensure the following most required three things -
1) Education for all (to educate mass population)
2) National Healthcare System (health for all)
3) Independent Judicial System (for law & order) .
If the policy can ensure free access to education for all and we can educate the 140 million people, what else do we need? If we can give 140 million people proper access to the quality doctors & treatment through the National Healthcare System, what would be stronger than a healthy happy population of the country? If our policy ensures keeping the Judicial System 100% independent from any outside or government influence all the time at any cost, then who will dare to corrupt our society, victimise any citizen or misuse power in future ?? Each and every person will be under the same laws and will follow the same constitution of the country for good.
It is not easy to implement the above mentioned three points in a poor country like Bangladesh . However , it is not impossible either. The last point (3) involves no extra money , but only good will. The first two points involve huge funds indeed. The question is, where will the huge money come from? We need to think properly and logically now. Bangladesh needs healthy, educated 140 million people in a sound peaceful social setting. We've been wasting a huge amount of government fund for wrong reasons during the last decades.
We must remember that the resources of the country belong equally to each and every citizen and everyone has got their birth right to claim and enjoy it. This country is not a personal property, neither a property of any department or sector. This country belongs to 140 million people. So, it is time to do something for the citizens.
