Where's the country heading?

Where's the country heading?

Nowadays I have lost all interest in reading newspapers or watching television knowing that depressing and outrageous news are waiting there. The government headed by Sheikh Hasina is acting in a bizarre way and it is a sign of desperation. Recently they have framed a broadcasting policy, and have been drafting an online media policy.

Ignoring the opinions of many eminent jurists, the cabinet on August 18 approved a proposal for amending the constitution to restore parliament's authority to impeach Supreme Court judges on grounds of misconduct or incapacity.

It seems that after January 5, everything has been falling apart. Day by day the country is heading towards an ominous future. May the Almighty help us.
