Enemy at the doorstep
The politicians, law enforcers and bureaucrats are to blame for the birth of Bangla Bhai, a common name on everyone's lips these days. The government needs to take immediate steps to strengthen its political system and consolidate the democratic system. The recent suicide bomb attacks and on going bomb threats are slowly taking away the people's confidence in the government and law enforcement agencies. Let this not be our biggest mistake, a time might come when the majority of the people mostly uneducated and below poverty level will join the hands of the Islamic militants. Because democracy or the democratic government could not provide them the basic necessities- food, water, house, cloths, education, health- so, what makes us think that these victims of political oppressions will keep their emotions anger and frustration to themselves for the rest of there lives? This poor segment of the society is the key weapon of the terrorists. The government needs to take immediate action and eliminate the root s of terrorism and give confidence to its public. Every day the enemy is getting more and more powerful, it is just waiting and playing its game tactfully, when the right opportunity will arise for them, we shall not even know what will hit us.
We shall lose our freedom, and civil rights- it sounds like the worst nightmare, but it's possible and can happen sooner than you think. The enemy is among us.
