AL plan
The Awami League (AL) is desperately trying to return to power by hook or by crook. It is planning to overthrow the elected government by 30th April, 2004. And we know what we will have to bear with-- total chaos.
The present situation of the country is very bad, and it is getting worse day by day. But that does not mean that the government must step down. The people have democratically elected the government and it must be allowed to complete its tenure. No party has the right to oust a government. Only the people have that right and the AL must wait till the next general elections, scheduled to be held in 2006.
But what happens next? Another party will take office and the opposition will begin their programmes of hartal, anarchy and vandalism to unseat the elected government.
