Democratic movement not a one way traffic

Now it has become a fashion or a routine affair to burn valuable vehicles and damage properties in the evening (which was extended to noon-time as happened the other day in Motijheel) preceding the days of hartal! What kind of exercise of democratic rights is this? Nowadays violence and destruction in the name of democratic movement is patronised by the opposition parties and hailed by the so-called intellectuals, who are usually very prompt in issuing statements, collecting signatures or demonstrating by 'Manob Bandhans' but remain conspicuously mum when murders take place in broad daylight.

I wonder and fail to convince myself how this opposition which preaches violence and hatred, engage in anti-state activities and blur the country's good name abroad can expect to have support of the people? I just cannot understand how this opposition movement can be called democratic.
