Political scene
I am not a politician and also not so aware of poly-tricks to twist certain things as many of our politicians can do, to their advantage. It will not be out place to quote here the late Bhutto of Pakistan. Replying to a question by some press people quoted as asking Bhutto, “ Sir, it is said that you tell a bundle of lies, one thing in the morning and the other thing just the opposite in the evening”, he was then quoted to have said as “ I am a politician and that is a great quality of a good politician”.Now, as a citizen however, I am politically conscious like many other fellow citizens of our country.
I welcome the political parties of grand alliance coming to power to form the national government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh with a great mandate of the people for a five- year term from now. I call it national. Because, once the government is in place to function, it ceases to be of any particular political party biased. Their role becomes neutral and so the government may be called a national government. As party politics runs counter to a democratic government, so it is discarded forthwith for a healthy political growth, development and culture in the country.
We expect the present government to rise above their petty party interests or parties they belong to, in the overall service to the nation fulfilling the people's aspirations. Let there be no deviation or distortion of any sort of the real meaning of the democratic government as “The government of the people, for the people and by the people.
We see a silver lining in the horizon with a small cabinet to start with. “Small is beautiful”.
All the members of parliament are to act as one whole body to shoulder the responsibility to deliver in order that our lost values and glory are back.
