A gory political scene
This is an act that demands that the AL and Hasina must cease their political activities in Bangladesh. The AL or Sk. Hasina may not be perfect. Still, they are one of the major partners of our democracy, and the party had led us in 1971 to independence. For the sake of our democracy and the advantages we have in the world as a moderate Muslim country, we must eliminate the threats coming from the forces of intolerance.
Considering the recent incidents, it can be said easily that the government not only inspire the bigots but also patronise them to eliminate the main opposition. The latest attack on the AL rally proves that point beyond any doubt.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. A few days back when Ahsan Ullah master was assassinated in a public meeting, the government instantly claimed that he was killed by his own party men. How could the government say so without any investigation? People don't expect such kind of remarks from a democratic government.
How will it defend the killing of 18 people at an AL rally at the Bangabandhu Avenue ?

I do not find any words to condemn or express my rage at the monstrous, terrible, and dreadful act. If one looks back to the major bombing incidents since March 16 -- there were attacks on an Udichi function in Jessore followed by the Ahmadiyya Mosque at Khulna, CPB rally in Dhaka, Ramna Park incident on Pahela Baishakh, a church in Gopalganj, AL targets at various places, mazars and cinema houses ---one may find a common thread, which clearly points to the quarters who might have perpetrated the crimes.
What is the government going to do this time around?
