The Political System of BD

Saturday, February 27th, 2010 by uddin

The political system of Bangladesh is going back to squire no 1 that is division, non co-operation, mudslinging, vindictive and yes…Hartal. What people envisioned after the election of 2008 is almost gone and the political retribution is coming back with brute force. The killing of political leaders, contract snatching by ruling Awami League party, Campus violence, corruption, mugging and hijacking are turning out to be the day to day affairs of Bangladesh.  No matter which political party comes to power in Bangladesh, they tend to get to back to the same principal of violence. The naming of Zia International Airport and subsequent admission by the Prime Minister of Bangladesh needs to merit. During the BNP rule the name changing game was widespread everywhere.

So far, during the last 15 years or more, these two ladies ruled the country with iron fist and had no substitute for their positions. May be that’s why the country could not proceed as expected. The Parliament system of Bangladesh is not working. There is no scope for new leaders to come out and the same old back biting leaders are coming to power year after year. To fix the problem the country need to fix the fundamental problem that is the Parliament system of governance. The AL went ahead with Parliament system because India had it and they wanted to mimic their success. However to their dismay and peoples, the system is not working.  The change that was expected is not going to come from these two leaders. Their thinking, ideas are stagnant and the country needs new blood with new ideas. There needs to be a new revolution in the country that will be based on Patriotism, principals of democracy, tolerance, for the people, by the people, and economic need. The whole world is going ahead in two steps and Bangladesh is still leaping from its wounds inflicted by these so called leaders.

Vote without Al and BNP in Bangladesh

Friday, May 16th, 2008 by alexh51

AL and BNP are two of the biggest political parties in Bangladesh. Together they control almost 80% of the votes. Nevertheless after the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971 and subsequent bad rules by AL and BNP has put a dent on peoples mind about their true intentions. Together AL and BNP ruled this country for almost 27-28 years and rest of them by military rulers. I have to say if the military rules were not bent on ruling the country on their own, they would have been the ultimate benefactor of people of Bangladesh. After 1/11 of 2007 and its subsequent handling of the country, the military has shown extreme restraints and is doing an Excellent job in bringing the much anticipated reforms in Bangladesh.

Still a lot has to be done, particularly with in the big political parties. Years of misrule, disgust, corruption, nepotism, negative attitudes has tarnished the image of this two big parties to a great extend. Again an election without this two main parties might be unthinkable, if we can not find an alternate solution to their demise. May be the fault was to rely on the corrupt & Inept begums in Bangladesh or what ever that may be, for a sustainable democracy the country can not depend solely on two individuals. The country needs to proceed on its own and find suitable, charismatic, expert leaders for its development. I have to congratulate the European Union for their positive comments about Bangladesh and point out, that Election 2008
