An unexpected walk to uncertain destiny
M Alauddin Ansary, Zahurul Haque Hall, DU
People of this country are politically conscious as well as peace-loving. But they went against dictatorship, protested military autocracy even laid down their lives in order to regain democracy that, meanwhile, is passing its 16 years of achievement standing on the sacrifice of Nur Hosain, among others. But now what is the state of our recent politics? Has our democracy grown up more than before? No, we could not yet overcome the influential's hold and confrontation in our political arena. We also failed to replace the existing zero-tolerance of our political parties with the patience of honour. On the contrary, we have to watch the pathetic scene of political clash in the streets. A man with minimum sense of humanity can never speak of killing men thanks to political occupancy. This time we are going through the period of Caretaker Government. However, we gravely oppose the presidency leading the interim government, but the prevalent mistrust and impatience of the parties provided a room for the president to take over captaincy of Caretaker Government. Now the overall situation of our politics shows the nation on way to an uncertain destiny. It's high time for the president to endeavour his best to sincerely give the people a free and fair election, bringing a consensus among the parties.
