I would like to know why the ruling coalition decided against sending any representatives to Ahsanullah Master'sJanazaheld last Saturday. Or is it that the thought hadn't occurred to them at all? Irrespective of which party Mr. Ahsanullah belonged to, he was a Member of Parliament. Even if every Member of Parliament did not wish to turn up at theJanaza, which I believe they ought to have, at least every party in parliament should have sent a representative to theJanazaof the murdered MP.

Have our politicians and political parties decided not to uphold any democratic norms or decencies ? Do they not realise that some incidents or events warrant a rise above partisan politics? This was shameful!
