Political Reform In Bangladesh (5/1/2019)

Alhamdulillah, for another nice new morning to me. Hope you are all fine. We need political reform for active participation of people in politics and administration in Bangladesh. Still our political culture is unfit to guarantee the voting right of all people in Bangladesh. We have crossed 47 years of independence but our democratic culture is too weak to accommodate the sentiment of all people of Bangladesh. The recent 11th national election is a good lesson to most of us to reform the political system in our country. In our political scenario we two political actors are dominant such as Bangladesh Awami League(BAL) and Bangladesh Nationalist Party(BNP). They are more hostile to each other and the culture they nurture in political arena does not go to establish democracy in our society because of family centred footing. When Bangladesh is a Peoples Republic then every citizen has right to go to the top position of party ladder but this is conspicuously absent in Bangladesh display the weakness of democratic footing in Bangladesh. In fact this is a common scenario in sub-continent politics. But we know in absence of democracy within the party it can not take strong footing in state.The current situation in Bangladesh bring out some truth to address sincerely in the zone of politics as yet most of the people are politically excluded for taking inadequate steps taken by Election Commission of Bangladesh. I have some suggestions for political reform in Bangladesh These are presented for consideration of the concerned authorities. 1. The registered political parties will participate in different elections will throw their manifesto before three months of election for consideration of the voters and research organizations. 2. The total voters of the country will vote against manifesto not against any candidate.3. The Parliamentary seat will be allocated in consideration of the percentage of total votes against each manifesto. Here the symbol is important. For example, the boat is for Awami Manifesto and Dhaner shis for BNP.4. The political party will select the people who will take seat in the parliament following a particular method. For example, under some criteria such as 15 years of primary party membership with two terms experience of peoples representative at any levels of local government with good record. 5. A good past track record in Bangladesh politics and a glorious past of honesty and integrity. 6. The grass root level political activists will vote for the man who is suitable to represent them in parliament. Political parties can fix other conditions duly registered by Election Commission of Bangladesh. The manifesto based election will reduce political killing especially that happens in election campaign. The Election Commission will announce the manifestos through different media equitably and arrange voting system so that all the voters can vote against manifesto they choose. If it is maintained the engagement of all voters will be ensured in political process of Bangladesh. None will be deprived from voting government as we saw in 11th national parliament election. The time has come to reform our political system for exercising democracy in our motherland. May Allah bless us all and do not include us among the wrong doing people.
