On the eve of the last hartal, called by main opposition party AL, another despicable and barbaric act took the lives of some innocent passengers who were on board of that bus. Hartal, perhaps the most frequently used political arms in Bangladesh than any other part of the world. People elect their representatives to speak on behalf of them, but they prefer to say outside the Sangsad.

The duty of the government is to initiate the way through their comprehensive and generous steps. The respect towards public opinion is imperative to lead the democracy in its most prolific way. It seems both sides of our leaders hardly recommend this point.
