Government after 29th December

Sunday, 28 December 2008


THE respected voters of Bangladesh are now ready for election to be held tomorrow (Monday, December 29, 2008. What will be the shape of the government after the 29th? What is the meaning of "digital" Bangladesh?
These are the questions coming from most of the voters who do not understand the meaning of the word "digital", though the top leaders of both the alliances are making commitments about building "digital" Bangladesh. One of the alliances will surely win and they will form the government. As a voter, it is my expectation that the political leaders will give at least a brief description about a "digital country". What does a digital country look like, and what benefit will they get if the digital country is established?
These are the things the people of Bangladesh want to know. I am sure the voters will be more interested in digital Bangladesh and they will be more confident in the respective leaders. Bangladesh after December 29, 2008 should be based on scientific democracy and scientific laws. Finally, we expect a digital Bangladesh in the real sense of the term, which is not impossible to establish if the political leaders sincerely want so.
