Impartial reading of facts
After reading the letter of Scott Elliott ‘Power is their ultimate goal’ published in English daily on February 8,2015 , I have to write a few words because the writer seems unaware of many facts prevailing in our country and cannot be compared with India and Sri Lanka.
There was a violent agitation by the Awami League and its allies for a Care Taker Government to conduct the General Election and on the face of it the then BNP government brought the Bill in the Parliament and passing it resigned from power. After that a number of elections were held and people accepted those. But suddenly Awami League government abolished it without consulting the opposition, may be they got a hunch that they may be defeated if the election was held under a neutral government.
Mr. Scott Elliott mentioned about the opposition winning the mayoral elections but those cannot be compared with the General Election in which power is being transferred from one party to another.
We wait five years to cast our votes but alas we were deprived of our rights as Awami League came to power in a strange way and we are suffering for their unjust action.
