insistance is a peculiar and abnormal experiment on undemocratising
of democratic system. The funny experiment has not benifitted the
nation and it has not even helped BAL. BAL has always depended on
rigging to win election even when the election was one sided in
favour of BAL. Now that there is going to be voters ID card and this
will make rigging somewhat difficult for BAL. God forbid if BAL loses
the election we will again see the politics of jalao, porao, gari
bhangchur, hartal and aborodh will be seen in full force again. May
Allah help this impoverished country.
Since the care government system has failed miserably , it is
time that we have a strong election commission and dispense with the
the care taker system.
