Joruri obostha niye kisu kotha - a humble opinion to the nation
Ei oboshtha jemon amra keo chaini, tao eshechhilo; temni eta amra na chailei chole jabe na. Jokhon somoi hobe, tokhon emni emni chole jabe.
Sub-headline er tone ta shune nishchoi apnara vabchhen, manush chaileo jabe na, tahle kokhon jabe? Kaar ichcha te joruri oboshtha eshechhilo, aar kaar ichcha te jabe?
No, we didn't mean that way. Rather what we meant that is this:
Joruri obostha eshechhilo, karon joruri oboshtha jari korar moto obostha hoyesilo. Keo keo hoitu rajnitik der ejonno dayi korben. Kintu aaj dosh khujbo na. Eta tu sotti je - oboshtha khub kharap hoyesilo. Sekhan theke mukti paoya giyesilo - joruri oboshthar jonno. Ekhon jei kotha ta keo bolse na, asha kori Mr. Chief Adviser bolben, seta hoitese - joruri oboshtha jari hobar karon gulu ki chole gese? Amader tu mone hoi na.
Taile eto sob alap keno. Dr. Fakhruddin and his team jodi ashol karon dur na kore joruri oboshtha tular jonno President ke suparish koren, taile tar jonno unara e dayi thakben - if that turn out to be a wrong decision.
Amra mone kori joruri oboshtha tular chinta kora bhul hobe. Joruri oboshtha jari korar ashol karon gulu ekhono strongly ase. Eto tara tari eto jotil problem solve kora jaina. Amra aro mone kori je, December 08 er moddye election korar jonno legal bindings nai. Eta ekta promise - a political promise from a non-political government. Unara ei promise ta kore vhul koresilen - they had no idea how long it might take to fix the problem.
Off course, apnara prosno korte paren, what do we mean by fixing the problem? Khubi khati prosno. Kokhon amra bolbo je "sob kisu ekhon thik hoyese"? How to measure that the situation has improved to some acceptable level so that the emergency can be lifted?
Eta ekta lakh taka'r prosno. Ei prosner uttor amra jani na. Amra etao mone kori je - Dr. Fakhruddin and his team also do not know the answer to this question. If they presume to know the answer to that question, they will make another mistake. Hope they do not do that.
So, ekhon ki kora?
Onek din theke vabsilam. Upai ta ki?
We think we know the answer to some extant - though apnader eta posondo nao hote pare. Somadan ta ei rokom:
This caretaker government came (which we prefer to call an interim government) to take responsibility in a mix of two constitutional situation. It was a period of transition when a caretaker government should be in place. However, it was a time when the President also declared emergency, too. And it was at a time when there is no parliament in place.
The constitution didn't foresee such a combination of two special situation and it do not give any direction about how to proceed in such a case.
So, we have to go to the basics - the doctrine of necessity.
Using that principle, what take precedence - a transition period or a emergency period? It certainly should be emergency period. If we accept that premise, then:
The emergency period, in the absence of a parliament, would be in place until one month after a new parliament is in place - that is what our constitution says. Now, other experts might have different opinion, but that is the most direct and plain interpretation.
And this interpretation is also helpful to solve our problem that we are talking about in this article.
If the current government do not touch the emergency power rules (just relax it so the election campaign can be held with "reasonable" openness), that would be a better option.
Let the politicians be elected to the parliament and a new parliament will be formed in due time.
Then there will be a one month window after the election for the elected MPs to decide whether the situation hasn't improved yet. If they do nothing, emergency will go away 30 days after the parliament sits for the first time. But if they think the situation is still bad, they can extend the tenure of emergency as needed basis. Leave the ultimate decision about emergency upto the politicians - which would be wise and democratic decision.
Emergency situation was created by the politicians. Let the politicians again to decide whether its time to lift the emergency.
