Hartal cripples the economy and takes away valuable lives. But, sadly, the government and opposition are not taking any steps to stop hartal. None of them want to ban it as the AL needs it now to protest against the government, and the BNP will need it future. But is hartal more important to the BNP and the AL than human lives?
