Whither leadership

The globalised world is much more competitive than ever before in all areas of economic activities. Bangladesh is a struggling entity in global economy with ocean-ful of poor population and land-ful of most corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. No nation should suffer like this in the hands of political leaders whose only target is to grab power, no matter what happens to the economy, to the vast majority of poor people. We should understand the price the general public are paying for the gain of few political leaders. We know them all, BNP, AL, JP, Jamaat, and most of the leaders associated with these parties. Don't we know them all?

We were fortunate enough to have so many great leaders in the past in such a small timeframe. We haven't seen any charismatic leadership in last 25 years. The nation badly needed an honest leadership to save the country from the hands of corrupt politicians. There is no alternative but to change the leadership to restore political stability and accelerate economic development of the country without corruption. I believe it is not a rocket science. This is just the political will of a group of honest people who are experienced in their respective fields and have a great heart to make the nation prosperous. I think, this is the high time to have someone like Professor Yunus who has proven his ability to show the world how to eradicate poverty and at the same time create an example of leading a simple life, although he had every opportunity to lead a life quite opposite. However, it doesn't mean Professor Yunus should run the country but I hope we have someone like him who is a real leader in all respect.

Bangladesh is suffering from serious image problem around the world and it is only because of so called politicians. If it continues, the nation has no hope but suffer from unprecedented lawlessness and unjustified poverty.
