Politics

To take a bold decision against a 600-year old tradition entrenched deeply in religious catholicism needs a man of rare courage and conviction. And Pope Benedict XVI became just that without fanfare, remaining peaceful within himself. His term in the Pontiff office was described so poetically by himself ”a journey of joy”. Admittedly, Papacy and Christian world in general were mired in a number of scandals and allegations, issues and controversies. Details…

The one thought that I cannot purge, as I am sitting cross-legged on the street at Shabagh square and chanting death to the collaborators, is this: what will happen when all these war criminals are hanged? Will this put an end to the bickering politics, unbridled corruption and all other looming crisis that the nation is facing? And then, I have this epiphany: what is happening now could be the long-awaited youth awakening to build a beautiful Bangladesh. Details…

Recent brutality of killing of Biswajit, a poor young tailor at old Dhaka city, by the terrorists has shocked all walks of citizens around the country and I’d request the premier to instruct the concern to take the necessary steps for their capital punishment immediately in order to establish the rule of law, to protect human rights and to ensure the law and order situation in order in the country.

Respective law and order organs of the state to be careful to make public statement to the media, so that confusion may not arise among the citizens. No need to mention that on the eve of trial of the war criminals- government is facing a lot of pressure from the different groups and criticism from the opposition political alliance but hopefully, government will do the best maintaining their election manifesto for the betterment of the nation which will influence on their upcoming election too.

First of all, I want to thank all the US voters for choosing the real leader of the time around the globe. Needless to say that I did monitor and analyse the US election procedure for a long time being a student of “Political Science as well as Journalism” and accordingly I did forecast last week in the on-line/social media finally that Obama will be re-elected in the presidency no doubt and hope, I’m the first person in the world to felicitated and congratulate Him in advance for his winning. Good luck Obama, the black Diamond and have my salute to bring back hope, peace and political stability around the world in near future irrespective of religion, country, caste or sex.

US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS 2012

ARANYA SYED

The Presidential Elections will take place today (06/11/12) in the United States of America (USA) where the incumbent President Barack Hussein Obama, representing the centre-left Democratic Party, will contest against Governor Willard Mitt Romney, who will represent the centre-right Republican Party. This will be the 57th Presidential Elections in the country’s history and will coincide with the House of Representatives (Congress) and Senate Elections.

This election has been widely reported to be one of the most important and consequential in the history of the country – which is regarded as the leader of the “free”/democratic world – due to not only the challenges that the country faces but also because of the significantly different directions that the two candidates have campaigned to take the country towards.

Being a student of Politics and Journalism, I’m more curious researching/analysing a lot about the forecast of the forthcoming US election which to be held on 6th November’12. I’ve already written earlier in another article before approaching/hitting the super-storm that Hurricane Sandy may turn into the Political Storm in USA but now my decisive/final prediction is that Hurricane Sandy might cost Obama- not the Presidency at all and the impact of this mega storm makes it positive that the world will observe a presidential election where the champion gets winning a very fewer votes than the losing concern!

Ethnic Violence in Burma and our Pre-caution

Recent ethnic violence in Burma has spread amongst the different groups over there seriously and it may turn towards the minority Muslims at any time and they may further try to push in Bangladesh border crossing the river ‘NAF’ by boat as they did earlier. No doubt Bangladesh law enforcing agencies has done better to push them back keeping the law and order situation as usual.

The recent tension in Burma should take into the consideration and monitor it sharply through diplomatic channel as well as the different media too in order to update the matter. Different pressure groups and fundamentalists may take the opportunity to make chaos in the mud water inside and outside the country. So, need to increase the vigilance about the issue in advance to avoid any kind of massacre in future. Details…

The shooting of 14-year-old Pakistani children’s right activist Malala Yousafzai on a school bus in the Swat valley has been denounced worldwide. Peace-loving people around the world have been offering prayers for this brave girl’s quick recovery. Why did the terrorists, the so-called Talibans, attack this innocent teen? What were Malala’s wrong-doings? The answers of these questions are very clear. Malala gained fame for blogging about how girls should have rights in Pakistan, including the right to education. Her writings encouraged the young people to take a stand against the Taliban. Details…

Since I had not been keeping track of the race in my assumed belief that President Barack Obama would have a ’second chance’ to redeem his pledges. But then the Republican Candidate apparently ‘ a come-back kid’, is fighting for his corner. A wee bit late, I reckon, but his television performance rekindled the party’s hope and his own trust in himself.

Because there are provisions to allot lands to landless in Bangladesh, this has been a political matter. Though Bangladesh government had laid down laws to allot lands to landless, there is misuse of law. Khas Khatiyan is included in Number one Khas Khatian. Details…
