Gomes Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:10:53 +0000 http://www.e-bangladesh.org/?p=807#comment-7467 Dear Md. Abdus Saleque and Rahman: Thanks for your constructive comments reading my commentary posted in E-Bangladesh online newspaper. I am understand what you meant about our Bangladeshi politics and also present care taker government. Bangladesh has long experienced that when people come to the power does not matter they are elected or unelected their behavior changed automatically. I do not believe that holding general election bring the positive change in the nation. I can challenge that even 50 highest virtues, good, and skilled people also can not change our present situation if mass people do not try to change or modify individual behavior and attitudes from grassroots level and if the nation does not introduce curriculum from the primary school on moral and ethical development and social responsible to be a good and responsible citizen. Who will do it? That's the big question? Anyway, I agree with Md. Raham that Bangladesh will lose natural resources if the present CT continues. That's also question that how could be sold this NR? Is it for greater benefits of Bangladesh or individuals interests? yes, indeed, the present CTg should do what they can do. Of course, their treatment should be to preventive and curative both. They must not create another situation that nation will be turned into serious condition. The past and present situations do not inspire me to say that Bangladesh has any single leader who can bring prosperity and political sustainability, and peace within next 20 years. It looks like that powerless people and poor people (majority of the population) will be suffered day and night as they have done in the last 37 years. But I wish all the best and have a great hope for the nation. May God bless Bangladesh and its people, that' s I can say for now. June 30, 2008 Dear Md. Abdus Saleque and Rahman:

It was ridiculous to hear the CA saying in Chittagong that they will not participate in the general elections as competitors of AL and BNP. By saying so he has corrupted the idea of the CTG that came into being after fall of Bangladesh's most corrupt and immoral military dictator in 1991. Then in the evening you hear Anisul Islam Mahmud of JP lending legitimacy to the CTG and the EC, one of whose commissioners is the in-law of Mahmud. An unethical person like Ershad will obviously serve as a lackey of the military-backed junta to have his sins erased from record. I think Delawar Hossain of BNP's scathing remarks about the ulterior motives of this overextended, extraconstitutional govt makes sense. At least this guy has the guts to speak out against the unconstitutional acts of this 'imposed-from-abroad' setup. I ardently appeal to this unelected, below-average performimg government to hold elections by October as demanded by Hasina and Khaleda and spare us the discomfort of viewing these monotonous, boring, fellas (disconnected from the common people) in what was once a vibrant, economically prospering, democratic Bangladesh! The sooner these goofs leave the scene the better it is for Bangladesh. Otherwise, the country and it's huge natural resources will be sold out to their foreign masters and mentors in no time.

What a minor major know about corruption in public sector? We haerd very grave situation in many public sector utility companies. Newspapers and media blew these up.Now powerful advisor is teeling that the the high powered body did not have legal right to investigate. In remaining time it will be impossible for CTg to close out many hurriedly lodged baseless (?) allegations against major politicians. In any election either of the two major political party led fronts will win.Then the propnents of minus two theory will be hunted down. There will another series of drama. Anyway CTG will be better advised to act according to their capacity and not to go beyond their main task holding of General Election as soon as possible. The political elements against whom there are credible evidences of corruption and other criminal offences must get punishment .Otherwise whtever little the nation gained over the last year and a half will drifet back to square one.
