Minus sycophancy

Many well-wishers of the Awami League must be shaking their head ruefully at the way it is handling its preponderance of seats in the parliament.
   A wise person learns from others’ mistakes, an average from his own, and the unwise never learns. The novelty of neophytes inducted into the cabinet is fast wearing off, and many members are generating ridicule or hostility with the inept way they are handling their responsibilities, showing their obvious limitations which may not be overcome by experience. Appointments at the top level all around seem to be simply a message to all that the AL is a one-person show now, and loyalty to that single person, as demonstrated in activities during her incarceration, is the sole qualification even for critical responsibilities. Even judges are being forced to believe that unless they bow their heads, they endanger themselves.
   Yes, the AL now has more rope — enough to hang itself again with greater ease. The caretaker government may have failed and deviated from its original plan, but people are now aware of their rights, and they will not be fooled once again by talks about the past that try to hide the present and they know that a democratic government can only be run by a party that practices democracy within itself.
