instead of allowing army to interfere in politics, they should be told to mind the borders. When will you learn not to mix things??? If you don't like your leaders then elect new ones.
Every time army steps in, your democratic institutions get weakened.
The military is a stakeholder in the politics of Bangladesh. It is a state within a state. It's just how things are here.
And FYI, it is Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB) that is responsible for guarding border regions. They have recently been deployed to take care of the riots.
Deploying the military near the bordering regions is an indication of inciting a war.
I've also wondered about the current leaders as you say. Many a times.
See, Khaleda Zia has had a maximum education level of grade VII. Her previous work experience is that of gutting fishes in the kitchen. Hasina is similar.
Though, they have managed to arrange the power structure in such a way that the power is concentrated to them. Without them, the party wouldn't function well.
And as much as I want alternatives to them, I afraid it is really just a dream. It takes money to do politics. And a lot of money needed to start a political party.
Not many would want to put funds into a new political party since their business interests are secured.
No gentlemen would dare get into Bangladesh's low quality politics. Those two are the harbingers of the doom that is befalling the nation's politics.
A third party is not feasible or realistic, and this had been already stated by the nation's leading experts on political science. Especially Akbar Ali Khan.
Noble laureate, Muhammad Yunus mildly flirted with politics. And that incurred the wrath of Hasina.
Nonetheless, both women are dangerously incapable individuals. And that is where much of the problem is.
Emotions can be a good way to start off as a young nation as was in the case of 71'. But it can only lead to disaster in later stages. Especially when the rule of the law is not followed and enforced. And that is what is happening now.
The military, along with the international community are the insurers of whatever damage may come.
Now, it is only a matter of time.
