Right to food

<< < (2/2)

Ferdousi Begum:
Dear Ma'am, right to food or that of water is included in our Constitution only as Fundamental Principles of State Policy, not as Fundamental Rights, as because economically we are not that much well-off, inclusion these rights and their implementation are totally different things. First of all we should consider our limitation regarding this. Bangladesh is a Least Developed Country. We have more than 16 lakh people who are not that much capable to earn a lot for themselves. To maintain right to food or to water for these growing population is not an easy task. In future, may be we find Bangladesh to be a prosperous one, then only we could think that such problems will never remain.

ma'am, I understood your point...but just tell me one thing....if you do not have money, can you save in the foreign bank? perhaps not! Our politicians give this excuse of 'Developing country', under this excuse they steal money and save for themselves in swiss bank telling people that look, we do not have reserve to ensure right to food or water, that's why we can't maintain status of FR for these rights as these are resource-intensive. Our Dean Zakir Sir nicely interpreted this thing as a misconception about ESC rights, we all are fooled by the pretexts of government/s....even if corruption can be handled properly, much more people can eat 3 times than at present! But who will change this system! may be, none...:(
