Ban Jamaat
The remarks made by our politicians are very annoying. Our country's security was in jeopardy following the Aug. 17 attacks and the most recent bombings in Laxmipur and Chittagong. The government has been denying the presence of any Islamic extremist group in the country for the last four years. Still, threats from that particular group of people prompted the government to ban the JMB and arrest Dr. Galib. However, the government is certainly not giving its 100% as it failed to nab Bangla Bhai and Abdur Rahman. The intelligence agencies fear that more bombs will hit our country, and isn't it the right time for the government to handle the matter with some seriousness? The arrest of Mufti Hannan came to spotlight as he disclosed the names of some high-ups. Every other day we read in the newspapers that the Jamaat is somehow involved with these criminals.
Wit the election coming close, I think it is the right time for the BNP to get out of the Jamaat trap. It is time to ban the Jamaat from politics.
