Cruelty against children
Child killing has become a common occurrence in our country. Children epitomise innocence, and such violence against them is unacceptable. In many cases, the law enforcers are unable to apprehend the perpetrators and punish them. As the perpetrators are not apprehended, the common people have lost faith in the ability of the law enforces. They are living in a state of constant fear.
We hope this killing spree will stop and every child will have a safe environment to live in.

Making democracy stronger
In the US, no person can hold the office of President for more than two terms. So there is no chance to hold the highest powerful position for a long time or lifetime as absolute power may corrupt a person absolutely. Article 50 (2) of Bangladesh Constitution also contains the same provision: “No person shall hold office as President for more than two terms, whether or not the terms are consecutive.” It’s a good provision but the thing is, in Bangladesh, the position of the President is largely ornamental, Prime Minister holds the real power. There is no bar in the Constitution to hold the office as PM. We think there should be also a provision fixing the term of the office of the PM like the one for the President. If we can do this, our democracy will be stronger than now.
