Bomb menace
At present Bangladesh is in a pandemonium due to rampant bombings. The populace of this country are walking a tight rope . Sylhet city is the worst affected place. This city is in a shambles due to frequent bomb attacks. Subversive bombing is not new in Bangladesh. The macabre bomb attacks on Udichi gala in Jessore, Ramna in Dhaka, two cinema halls in Mymensingh and Hazrat Shahjalal's shrine in Sylhet have been horrifying experiences. We are really jittery about this nefarious trend. The recent bomb attack on HE Mr Anwar Choudhury, the British envoy, has confirmed that some fanatics are behind these activities. They want to terrorise the country in order to Talibanise Bangladesh.
We are appalled at the cavalier attitude of our government. They can not politicise this issue. By reshuffling the police and nabbing the opponents, they cannot halt the frequency of bomb attacks. To forestall such kind of cancerous growth, the real felons must be brought to book.
