The recent news coming from Bangladesh is a bit disheartening and deserves a closer look. First the election held on Aug 4th, 2008 failed to bring considerable changes that the people have hoped for. The election brought back almost 65% of the peoples who had questionable criminal records. According to Brotee http://thedailystar.net/story.php?nid=49473, the educational qualification of the candidates was not at the expected level and they crossed the spending level by almost 200% and bought some of their votes. Secondly, the High court release of corrupt politicians and business personalities http://thedailystar.net/story.php?nid=49319 are making a mockery of the justice system of Bangladesh. Thirdly, the heavy politicized High Court of Bangladesh ruled against EC about holding the Aug 4 election in a not partisan way and made the election of Aug 4th as a political one. All these along with other minor and major changes in the government is making everyone to think that the much anticipated changes that people have hoped for is getting rolled back and the same corrupt people is coming back in a new fashion and bottle. The present CTG is giving an impression that they become weak and trying to get out of the way as soon as possible by holding a election that will put back some of the old guard that the people tried to get rid of instead of making this country as prosperous as it can get.
I guess it all started happening after the resignation of Barrister Moinul Hossain, who was actually doing great work for the country than harm. The eminent lawyer Dr. Kamal Hossain was another true patriotic force who was also trying to progress this country for the good and bring accountability for the nation. The present CTG needs to look at its recent decisions closely and make a farm decision & correct steps. After all the whole nation is looking at them for positive results and they have the support till now.
