stop hartal-based politics

         Political stability is closely related to a country's economic development.Our country saw some positive signs of economic development in recent time.But,there are also hortals and other economy destroying political programmes. In front of this hope , aspiration and possibility, the devastating,hartal-based politics can't be accepted any more.
          In this competitive global market, countries such as Turkey and Japan are now showing interest in investing and buying goods from Bangladesh,instead of China.Japan wants to buy various kinds of goods from Bangladesh rather than from China.These are all positive signs for our economy , which can be spoiled by political instability and hartal.The ruling and the opposition party have to realise it for sake of our economic development.
         The people and the business community do not want the politics of hartal.The government do not want the politics of hartal.The government has to take the responsibility of making the political situation stable.Besides,it should take urgent steps to prevent abduction,toll collection, tender manipulation, infrastructure problem, and gas and power crisis without making any delay.This opportunity of economoc development might not remain open for too ling. The government and the opposition party should play a significant role in creating an investment-friendly atmosphere in Bangladesh.

Job for every familly & Digital Bangladesh ruling party

       A report titled 'BCS qualifiers fall sick at fast - unto-death for jobs' which is very hardness of any mind.BCS qualifiers have to fast unto death for jobs whereas the ruling government was committed to ensuring at least one job for every family.Still now, in some development project people have not got back their jobs although most of them have already been in the revenue set up. Recruitment has been a crying need for a long time in government high school, district education offices,teachers training colleges, other colleges and some other offices.
        The students of the Engineering University of Chittagong have not had access to internet for a long time.I know it from a national daily.They are in need of internet facilities as it helps them to acquire global knowledge and learn their subjects better.Not very long ago,I found that a video conference was held from a remote area of Bangladesh apparently as a proof that Bangladesh was on the road to becoming digital.Recently , the prime minister , Sheikh Hasina , said in the parliament that the previous Awami League government had been able to increase the literacy rate by 20 percent but the rate was reduced by four percent during the rule of the BNP- led government.The dropout rate of primary terminal exam was 8 percent last year but this year the rate has been increased a lot which is a great failure of the Awami League-led government.Therefore,the government would be well -advised not to speak ill of others and work for the welfare of the country.

The Yunus Controversy

     I was shocked with an item, published recently in News, where an organisation dared suggesting the arrest of Muhammad Yunus, the  sole Nobel laureate from our country.
     Yunus winning the Nobel Prize spread the name for our country across the world. It is astonishing that Omar should suggest his arrest , where the finance minister himself said the so-called grant could have been transferred with the donor's consent.
      Such suggestions create nothing but chaos and anarchy while contributing nothing to alleviate the suferings of the people. Only jealousy can explain such propositions.If I were in your place, I should have ignored it and would not have published it all. 
      It is strongly recommended that responsible journalism should not forget to highlight the other side of the coin while criticising Yunus and microcredit.

Amendment to politics

Many will agree with Lutfor Rahman that good governance requires purification of our politics and out politicians(New Age,November 24.But as long as our political parties avoid internal reforms, depend on personality cults,crush dissent, operate a command structure and promote divisiveness, our constitution will remain a mockery of what it was intended to be.
     The spirit of our constitution is diametrically opposed to the politics practised in our unfortunate country .The people are wise but they can only vote for those who are put on the ballot.It is the political parties which decide whose name goes on the ballot , not the people, We are held hostage by our two.

Again a spate of nasty polities

  One thing about Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia that people from all social in Bangladesh praise profusely is her strong personality, especially her stubbornness not to compromise, at least in her political statements, with anything that could jeopardise the countey's sovereignty.
   People in general had feared that as usual the BNP , the present opposition party, this time too would vitiate the public life by calling 'hartal' on any excuse as frequently as the Awami League and the BNP both did when they were in the opposition. But the BNP leadership, after Awami League won the last election by a huge margin, did not realy find much of excusable issues that could drive people to respond to a call of 'Hartal'.Plus , Khalada Zia had earned a bed name of an incapable mother, at least by the stories-real or concocted-people gossiped and the news media reported about, in shepherding her sons properly across the corridor of power when she was the prime minister.

Tilting buildings

 Centuries after the leaning tower of pisa, a major tourist attraction which still has not fallen down after it was built,we,in Bangladesh,are determined to build many  tilting building in the many urban areas of Bangladesh.The wasy way out seems to be to pass the blame on building designers.The reality is,however,something very much different.It starts as a case of 'ignorance is bliss' with economy drive being the sole criteria of work.To begin with ground clearance between adjacent buildings, which is quite important, is ignored.

Saving Tigers from extinction

Drastic reduction of wildlife is a global concern as it contributes greatly to environmental degradation. Among other reasons, the fast -growing industries and economic boom in the developing and promising countries can be attributed to the wildlife population. For centuries , villagers living in Asia's forest , mountains and icy tundra have learned to fear and respect the mighty tiger.But rapid economic growth and modernisation have reduced the number of tigers to as few as 3200 in the wild, mostly in India, Russia and Indonesia . Currently there are fourteen tiger range countries in the world-Bangladesh,Bhutan ,Cambodia,China,India,Indonesia,Laos,Malaysia,Myanmar,Nepal,North Korea,Russia,Thailand and Vietnam.
