A very exciting message has come to the national daily Star today ( September 18, 2010) along with the pictures. The present and former speakers are found in the smiling faces along with other MPs of all parties.
The Parliamentarians of the ruling party and the main opposition yesterday pledged to work together to eradicate poverty from the country. Despite differences in opinions, they shall remain united in dealing with poverty eradication. The Opposition Chief Whip has said, "We are here to show our solidarity with the ruling party to work for building a peaceful and rich country.” He also lauded the speaker's initiatives to make parliament effective through participation of the opposition party lawmakers. Agriculture Minister Begum Matia Chowdhury has said “We sincerely want to achieve all the goals”. The Speaker has said the country had been waiting for such a day when lawmakers of both the ruling and opposition parties unite for a great purpose. He added the consensus among both the parties has increased hope for national development and progress.
As a senior citizen of the country, I should like to comment; it was an excellent congenial atmosphere of cooperation among the Parliamentarians that can build a self relient, prestigious and peaceful nation of the world. They are united to eradicate poverty from the country in all respcts and expected to fulfil other MDGs through unique cooperation among the MPs of all parties.
It is worth mentioning here at the very friendly atmosphere among the senior responsible politicians that the democratic countries have more than one political parties including Bangladesh. They are divided as the “Party in position” and the “Party in opposition”. The opposition parties are the heart of a democratic government. Good relations among the law makers of any country are counted in the positive ways in international markets.
In case of Bangladesh, 16 party alliance and 4 party alliance are known as the parties in position and opposition respectively. The word Opposition means “Birodhi” that has relevance to division, conlict, violence etc. The meaning of the term “Opposition Party” or “Birodhi Dal” indicates some sorts of “enemeties”. Instead of using the term “Party in Opposition”we can we use friendly terms like “party in cooperation” or other term that can attract the parliamentarians to serve the nation better and make a prestigious nation.
We have elected our MPs expecting the best services from them to the nation. The respected voters are the creaters of MPs and surely they do not want conflicts or violence. As the global citizens, we are already far behind in many respects particularly in science and technology that are the main components of digital Bangladesh. At the present world situations, our first priority should be given to maintain congenial atmospheres at all levels so that not only the MPs alone, but the whole nation can work for the national development in more dedicated ways.
