Our expectations


Living far away from the country we look forward to hearing good news about our beloved country liberated 33 years ago by the people of the country, for which they had to suffer a lot. The people, unlike many bigwigs, never claimed any credit.

In these 33 years we have heard only claims and counter claims of the people most of whom did not lose much or rather anything; consequently, we failed to achieve the desired progress of the country.

Now it is the demand of the time to forget the past and work together to build the country for the sake of the downtrodden. It is not the time for hartal, destroying state/public properties, threatening with trump card, wasting time and energy building mausoleums, when most of the people in the country are literally illiterate, not adequately fed and clad in relation to countries which got liberated at or around the same time.

It is unfortunate that there are so many political parties but with such a meagre number of real leaders of character. Indeed, we are unlucky.

Bombs are hurled, investigations are made, but why no publishing of reports? How can there be authorities challenging the country's Law and Order Authority?

Before we blame anyone, any party, any foreign country we must try sincerely to find out the truth jointly as this is our country this does not belong to certain families but to people of this land in its entirety. Why should we have to invite foreigners to investigate the crimes committed here? Don't we have any self respect?
