Our politicians should realize that they have a responsibility to build up the nation and they should pay due respect to people’s will and expectations. Both the government and opposition should work under democratic norms and values instead of confrontation and egoism. Attempts should be made to make our parliament as the center of all political activities. The government and opposition should have due respect to parliamentary norms, values and procedure. In this regard, the speaker must be neutral in playing his role in the parliament. Consensus among political parties is a must to fight against corruption and terrorism otherwise, all the achievement would be mull and void. Our politicians should be positive in playing their role in the polity and our political parties and politicians must work in cooperation with each other instead of opposition for the sake of opposition. There should have agreement among political parties about national key issues. For this, our politician must give up their egoism and realize that national interest is more than that of personal, group or party interest.

Finally, the effort should be continued to make our people politically aware and habituated with democratic norms, values and practices. As a result, the media, civil society and sociopolitical organizations and institutions must play the pioneering role.

One thought on “Bangladesh: Improving toward for a Better Future and politics

  1. Wow this is a lot of information about Bangladesh. It seems that human development is one of the main focuses of your post, and that politicians are not taking up the responsibilities to help improve the country and its people. It is definitely true that politicians sometimes have their own agendas, but as citizens, people need to trust the officials they elect.
