Power and party politics

Some parliament bosses have spent millions of taka for buying costly dress, hundreds and thousands of taka for lawn mowing of parliament house area, traded appointments, took medical bills without approval of the competent authorities, made personal visits abroad as official ones, took away foods from parliament cafeteria to their homes, all these facts were unearthed by the parliamentary committee. Today, 20 May, yet there was another front-page headline in the DS "Trio took Tk 40 lakh in additional fuel bill. While the press people approached them for their opinion, they denied their involvement in such activities and termed the investigation itself as "uddeshow pronodito" , meaning politically motivated and directed to harm them personally. They further claimed that making the committee's findings public has discredited the chairs on which they were sitting.
A foreign agency has revealed truths of siphoning of money by some relatives of top leaders to foreign banks from Bangladesh. The government has found hard evidences.
It is reported that actions are underway to bring the money back home. The leaders of the political party concerned have told the countrymen that all these are being done to tarnish the image of a 'great' family in Bangladesh and the acts of the present government are ill motivated, designed to cover up the failures of the present government.
The denials and counter charges are their answers. They want to tell the nation that all the above truths are "not true" and the above revelations are Uddeshow Pronodito - only to discredit them and their party publicly. But they never try to realise that the people of Bangladesh are not that deaf and dumb any more.
