[ALOCHONA] AL or BNP, doesn’t matter



AL or BNP, doesn't matter

Courtesy New Age 08/04/11

THERE IS no getting away from the fact that Bangladesh is a third-world country with third-world mentality and its greatest resource is its ability to continually invent clever and ingenious ways in graft and corruption. No doubt some people made millions from the recent Cricket World Cup.

Law and order is near to non-existent. We all know our children are in line to be mugged on their way to or from school, it's just a matter of time. The muggers are just too busy mugging other children for the time being and ours have to be patient and wait in line for their turn.

Sir Frank Peters exposed this shameful, outrageous scandal to the nation when his teenage family friend Aaquib Tanveer was mugged at gunpoint on his way to school. Another had been mugged seven times. The crimes went unrecorded, he wrote, because cops demand `buksheesh' to act.

The home minister has the audacity to claim crime has decreased! How laughable and ludicrous is that? That's as preposterous as saying the length of criminal lines are now much shorter…we've moved the criminals closer together.

Like Professor Musa Bapery from Chittagong observed (as most intelligent and educated people have) on Thursday's New Age, it does not really matter to the ordinary folk if Awami League or BNP is in power. They and their cronies are the only real beneficiaries. The only real change a new government brings is `hope'… hope it won't be any worse than the last one in power.

Forty years of mismanagement and pathetic excuses are about enough anyone can take. If I were a political party leader, I would start getting serious right now about working in the proper manner and make the changes that would benefit Bangladesh, rather than wait for the powerful change – like that sweeping the Middle East – to explode and overwhelm, as will happen otherwise. Enough is enough.
