Find a way out
We are not well, are we? In addition to the economic and social problems, another problem has been added to our life and that's "extremism". What have we achieved independence for? To live in the fear of bombing? Some newspapers and a few politicians blamed the militants, but the government always said that it was nothing but propaganda. So they did not pay heed to it. On 17 August, a series of bombs were blasted around the country and the worst fear has come true.
The situation has turned critical and nobody knows how the militant threat will be neutralised by the government. Political confrontation has aggravated the situation. The two major parties should sit together and try to find a way out of this terrible crisis.
