A common phase in Bangladesh

Economic crisis is now a common phase in Bangladesh. But now the the economical condition is developing geometrically. It was saying that corruption, loan avoiding is increasing but the secret agency of central bank (BFIU) is saying it is becoming down in their annual report. In current economic year 2014-2015 the lacking of trade is doubled. It is seen that the lack trading is 448 and above crore dollars where it was only 225 crore dollars. The export has increased by 91 percent and import is 16 percent. Bangladesh Bank is positive though this downfall. They gave a report on the economical crisis on the day before yesterday. The critics tells about the statistics of the downfall may cause for the continuing of ‘OBORODH’ by the opposite political party BNP. In this economic year the downfall is near about 88 crore dollars. The GDP of recent year will be 6.5 percent says the UNSCUP. This agency says this according to the present satiation in Bangladesh. In 2014 the GDP was 5.6 percent. This economic development will helpful for the other developing countries. This will be possible only if the country goes freely without any ‘HARTAL’, ‘OBORODH’ and other political incidents. From the last few days the tradings are falling down. None can do anything against this. The workers are going to their work place by risking their lives. They works not only for them but also for our national economic growth. The biggest agency of garments and knitwear BGMEA are very much worried about the present situation. They are seeking help from the govt. for delivering their orders to the buyers. The foreign buyers are not happy with the late deliver of their product. BGMEA wants from the govt. that they want armed security to protect their goods. The political parties are not coming to a subtle decision that people can breath in peace. ‘Share Market’ has a great contribution to the economy of any country as do our country. But for the political reason this market is falling day by day. The prices is going down everyday the brokers are fall in loss become bankrupt. Civil Society, SUJON, Human Rights Watch etc. are calling the two party to come or make decision that the general people would be no more the worst sufferer of the political incidents.

Coffee House

That get together at the coffee house is no more, no more
Where have the golden evenings lost, they are no more, no more

Nikhilesh is in Paris, Moudul is in Dhaka, they are not in any news today
Grand's guitarist Goaniz DeSuza is sleeping in grave
Loving someone, getting hurt at last, Roma Roy is incarcerated in mental institution
Amol is struggling with tough cancer, life has not forgiven him, alas!

That get together at the coffee house is no more, no more
Where have the golden evenings lost, they are no more, no more

Only Shujata today is living as the happiest person
Heard her husband is a millionaire
She is adorned with diamonds and golds completely
Her car and home are all pricey
Art college's student Nikhilesh Shamlal
used to draw picture for advertisements
And with full of talks in her eyes, like a silent listener
that Shujata only sat nearby

That get together at the coffee house is no more, no more
Where have the golden evenings lost, they are no more, no more

In one table that three or four hours, Char Minar cigarette burnt from the lips
Sometime Bishnu Dey, sometime Kamini Ray, debates went around about them
In hot sunlight or storm or the rain, wherever anyone was, after work we came to that place
Starting from four, having stimulating discussions, around seven thirty we used to get up

That get together at the coffee house is no more, no more
Where have the golden evenings lost, they are no more, no more

Poetic faced, hanging bag from the shoulder, Amol's name will be erased
Not a single poem of his got published, didn't get the appreciation of his talent
In the office's social manager, Roma Ray acted in drama
And read aloud what the newspaper's reporter Moidul wrote

That get together at the coffee house is no more, no more
Where have the golden evenings lost, they are no more, no more

That seven persons are not there today but that table is still there
Even seven cups are not empty
In the same garden blossomed the new flowers
Only that past day's gardener is not there

How many dream's sunlight rages in that coffee house
How many dreams get covered by the clouds
How many came and gone, and how many will come
Only the coffee house remain as it is

That get together at the coffee house is no more, no more
Where have the golden evenings lost, they are no more, no more

shun subversive activities

 Voicing her firm commitment to come out of the vicious cycle of bad politics, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday urged Khaleda Zia to shun subversive activities, killing people, hurling bombs and grenades and making arson attacks that only cause losses to lives and property, 

1.We want to come out of the vicious cycle of bad politics, we want to establish the politics which is for the country and the welfare of its people,2. she said in her address to the nation.

The Prime Ministers address, marking the first anniversary of the 10th general election held on January 5, 2014, was aired simultaneously by all TV channels and radio stations.

In her 25-minute speech, Hasina alleged that efforts are on to create again instability and anarchy in the country when Bangladesh has been on the highway of development with the united efforts of all.

ll call upon the BNP chief to shun subversive activities, killing people, hurling bombs and grenades, making arson attacks and causing losses to lives and property, she added.

The Prime Minister said it was politically wrong decision of Khaleda Zia for which she and her party are now out of parliament. Whom do you blame? You've to blame yourself only!

Urging her arch rival to return to the path of peace shunning that of destruction, Hasina said on the way Khaleda Zia was walking would not bring any welfare for people. Instead, you all lose peoples trust and confidence further. People want security, peace and prosperity.

Hasina advised the BNP chairperson to let the common people know what she wants to do for the socioeconomic development of the countrys people. Rebuild your own party, only then you have some possibility in the future.�

The Prime Minister said the trial of war criminals Rajakars and Albadars who had committed genocide are going and their verdicts are in progress. Inshaallah, well execute the trial verdicts of all the war criminals,

Hasina alleged that the evil forces of darkness who do not believe in the existence of Bangladesh, do not want betterment of people are trying to spread the net of conspiracy in a bid to thwart the trial and save the war criminals.

Recalling the reign of terror unleashed by the BNP-Jamaat alliance to foil the January-5 election and also to save the war criminals, Hasina said the BNP-Jamaat cadres had set fire to hundreds of vehicles, vandalised thousands of vehicles, cut thousands of trees on both sides of the roads, killed 20 members of law enforcement agencies, including police-BGB-Ansar-Army and killed hundreds of innocent people.

The BNP-Jamaat alliance had wanted to create anarchic situation in the country, they wanted to go to power through the backdoor destabilizing the country. But, the country people didnt fall to their set trap of conspiracy, she added.

Before the January-5 polls, Hasina said, her government had tried a lot to hold dialogue, even was ready to give all kinds of options to hold election under the constitution. Were even ready to form an election-time all-party Cabinet.

She went on saying: Therese no provision of any unelected government in the constitution of Bangladesh. The only one demand of ours was to hold the polls within the constitution. Were ready to give all kinds of options there, which was possible.

Extending her heartfelt gratitude to the countrys people or reelecting the AL-led alliance government, Hasina said for this her government has been able to carry out efforts to complete the unfinished development programmes alongside having the opportunity to advance the country by taking newer development programmes.

Ill call upon all of you to uphold democracy by resisting together any kind of subversive and militant act in the coming days, she added.

Terming the last one year as a successful one for Bangladesh, both at home and abroad, she said now people are in a better condition as the country is moving ahead.

The Prime Minister said 2014 was a glorious year in the history of the Bengali nation for ensuring overall development, maintaining the continuance of constitution and democracy and keeping the nation imbued with the spirit of Liberation War.

She said Bangladesh has emerged as a role model at the global stage over the last five years of the governments previous tenure as well as the first one year of this tenure due to the successful implementation of the development plans.

Elaborately describing her governments various achievements in various fields, including the economy, power and energy, communication, education, health, food security, agriculture, fisheries and livestock, social safety net, digitisation, women empowerment and good governance, Hasina said Bangladesh is now currently one of the five countries in terms of economic development in the world as it has attained 6.2 percent GDP growth rate on average.

After assuming office, the Prime Minister said, her government has strengthened the independent Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) for which corruption registered a marked fall in the country.

Hasina also renewed her pledge to turn Bangladesh into a hunger- and poverty-free mid-income country by 2021 and a developed one by 2040.

Economical condition of Bangladesh

There is a saying that when America sneezes, the whole world gets flu. Bangladesh is surrounded to what transpires in international markets and economies of leading countries. While America with its $13 trillion economy where Bangladesh's is around $70 billion dollars in GDP. Bangladesh cannot be immune from the global economic slowdown and is most likely to be adversary affected sooner or later. In the industrialized states, it has already reported that the retailer is not making money, manufacturers are not making money and the consumer is complaining because they are paying most. An unexpected gloom in the confidence of consumers is being experienced in these countries. The exports of readymade garments and knitwear to the Europe US and are likely to fall because there will be no demand in those countries where people would keep money with themselves for meeting their basic needs during rainy season. Everyone will be open with spending money for non essentials. Bangladesh needs foreign direct investment (FDI) up to 28% of GDP (almost 415 billion) every year to reduce poverty in the country. Whatever FDI was coming to Bangladesh encouraging but it may slow down considerably. Likewise foreign help will be less from the countries of G-7 to Bangladesh. It is reported that remittances during the last financial year stood to almost $7 billion dollars, 25% were from the industrial countries in the west and 75% come from the Middle East. The Middle East has not been saved from the crisis and stocks fell over in the oil-rich countries, even in Dubai. Furthermore labor laws in some Middle East countries have changed to the detriment of foreign workers. It is likely that remittances will be less because there will be jobs-cut in the countries of economic slowdown. There is one flip side of the financial crisis in that price of oil has fallen down to a level, unimaginable this season. At this time it was less than about $75 dollars, from the highest of about $147 per barrel. That would enormously help Bangladesh to import oil. The withdrawal of GSP by US causes a great trouble to the economy of Bangladesh. The Govt. is trying to get it back but in vein. If the GSP will back again Bangladesh will be able to gain good result about the crisis. Then the fundamental rights will be save, we can assume this.
