Behave sensibly

It's happened again, I was going through my favourite newspaper 'The Daily Star' and I was very shocked to know that a professor of Rajshahi University had been murdered by some terrorists. I don't blame people when they become furious and demand something immediately as one would not take it as an ordinary crime . It is our moral obligation to condemn this kind of killing and help law enforcement authorities with all necessary information. We understand when emotion is in the air, many people just do not behave rationally and without thinking properly they echo the voices of a few self seekers who call hartal to achieve their heinous goal.

Now, one should ask 1) How this kind of hartal would help to find and bring the killers to justice 2) Who will compensate for the loss caused by this unwanted hartal?
