Corruption & torture-today's democratic practice

   The democratic process in Bangladesh is being dominated by corruption & terrorism with the dirty tricks of politicians. If we review our decades of democratic process. We can hardly find any ray of hope to get rid of this highly corrupt system. Without exception, ruling parties are always found to be the prime barrier to establishing a true democratic process and the rule of lay Democracy can not be licence to abuse the state's power and resources to ensure privileges for the ruling party. Formation of this government, with vast majority support and hope. took only a little time to turn into a corrupt and police regime. We talk about democracy, but like to run institutions including public universities or District Councils with nominated represedtatives . Current politicisation and corruption are capable enough to destroy our economy. especially the emerging private sectors including the readymade garment industries that we can hardly dream to be under state control. If we compare development of private banks with that of nationalised banks, we will have reasons to belive that state policy would only ensure more and more corruption. State's deliberate hostility against citizens like Limon. Dr Yunus and Grameen Bank is giving the nation a negative message. The government, failing to manage own organisations, should avoid taking responsibitities of well -run and profitable organisation like Grameen Bank, We must make sure to keep Dr. Yonus out of dirty politics. As lone of the late starters in the industrialisation process, we can not engage in activities detrimental to our national image. Unfortunately. the ruling party relies more on lies and blame game than gaining public support by looking at the areas which have far reaching impact in national interest, Current policy is nothing but hypocrisy that only facilitates interest of a few people who care little about the national interest. The ruling party should concentrate on facilitation democratic process rather than destabilising  civilised political environment. Let us prove that our patriotism is not limited to the speeches and television.
