It is said, “It is easy to earn democracy but hard to maintain it”, also it is said ” A hard earned democracy is often smuthered away by crooked politicians and unruly mobs”. We see both the example happening in Bangladesh. Bangladesh earned its freedom in 1971 after long 9 months of fighting against the ruthless pakistani forces and then saw the freedom taken away by sheer neglect and corrupt practices of Awami League goons and their leaders. Again after long fighting against the military junta of Ershad, the country attained the right type of freedom in 1991 but alas! again the country was misrepresented by some unruly Al and BNP leaders who did nothing to help the country but their pockets. Hence we are in this situation..but only this time the country is on a track that is far better than any time since its independence. The country is destined for an election in Dec 2008 and all hopes are set on this new election.

However we have to be certain that this time, true and rightful candidates get their nomination and get elected. Year after year, we are electing wrong candidates in the parliament who does not care about the rule of law, full of conspirators, authoritarian and betrayer to their fellow citizens not to mention their constitutional obligations. From the press, high court to parliament and universities, everywhere they spread their venom of hatred, abuse of power, misrule and destroyed the basic principals of civilization.
