Brazen politics


Recently, a report was published in an issue of 'TIME' magazine where the reporter earmarked our country as a "State of disgrace". On the other hand, Transparency International published its 2004 report on corruption and ranked our politicians as most corrupt persons in Bangladesh. Both the reports are disgraceful for the people of this country, though not for our politicians, I suppose, because they care little about such things. I am sorry to say, 'Shame on our politicians'.

We the countrymen are like 'puppets' in the hands of our politicians. The aim of our politicians is 'to grab power and cling to it'. If they were thinking about the development of the country, this country would not have been described as a 'State of disgrace'.
