Resolve the crisis


The safety net for an elected democratic government is the people. We hope our present government enjoys the confidence of the people as this is the one and only safety-net to run the government. We further hope that the government will be responsive to current political issues faced by the country. In my judgement, the following issues need to be addressed with results:

a. The controversy surrounding the presidency. Why can't the people listen to the President?

b. The EC has become a controversial institution due to its failure. We are forced to guess that the end results of this will only eat up the valuable time to update the voter list. Who is going to be benefited?

c. Teachers' strike. An appeal by the PM is yet to work. A meaningful dialogue has to be initiated by the government.

d.The most important issue of electoral reform needs a more positive approach by the government and the opposition. We consider it the responsibility of the government to take sincere steps to arrive at a decision on reform.

It is time for thinking differently and openly.
